Climate change and coaching are made for each other. While activists can raise general awareness, coaches are key to enabling leaders to focus on making climate change happen. Future generations will judge the coaches and coaching organisations of today on how we meet that challenge.

Have you ever had a conversation that inspired and energised you to play your part well in responding to an emergency? If so, perhaps the person you were talking with had read this book or drawn on the understanding it shares.
The human change dimension is so often a missing piece of the jigsaw in responding to our climate crisis. The practical guide fills many of the gaps, with tools that can help us become better allies to each other in supporting the personal and systemic shifts needed in our time.
