This book presents a pragmatic guide for coaches and supervisors working with grief and bereavement, providing both useful case studies and practical techniques to aid professionals in embracing the complexity of working with these topics in a coaching context. Coaching and Supervising Through Bereavement clearly delineates the boundary between bereavement issues requiring specialist counselling and 'normal' bereavement topics within coaching. It addresses how to coach clients through all different forms of bereavement, not just through death but also other losses such as job loss and relationship loss, and enables coaches to shine a light on their own bereavement journeys for the benefits of themselves and their clients. The authors also offer a guide for coaching supervisors to aid the ethical and emotional support required for their own supervisees and themselves. This book debunks the myth that bereavement should not be discussed in coaching, and so will be a valuable resource for any practicing coach or supervisor of all levels of experience or expertise.
This comprehensive volume offers ideas, examples, and guidance to help coaches develop skills in their coaching practice, specifically in the areas of health and wellbeing as they are experienced by their clients. The book also explores the growing importance of wellbeing coaching within the wider coaching world and the health sector. Starting with definitions of wellbeing and health coaching, then delving into health and wellbeing issues faced by clients, and tools for coaches along with their practical applications, this book includes theory, case studies, and reflection exercises so that readers can use it in a personal and practical way. The Health and Wellbeing Coaches’ Handbook is an essential resource for coach practitioners, supervisors, and consultants working with clients, as well as for students in post-graduate programmes, including coaching, health and allied health professional programmes, and human resource professionals focusing on employee wellness.
A collection of science fiction and fantasy stories by Ken Liu.
Adriana Fernandez is a young, beautiful, and talented pianist and singer. Unfortunately, while growing up in Belém, Brazil, Adriana has encountered more than her fair share of bad luck, including a nasty encounter with a hoodlum named Joao Ramires that turns Adriana's world upside down. But still, Adriana has a rare musical gift: she can spin incredible piano melodies from her fingers, melodies to calm even the most troubled and tormented heart. Meanwhile, American couple Tom and Maggie Duchensky are looking for a piano player for their nightclub, The Jazzy Truth. The question is: is lovely Adriana Fernandez the right woman for the job? Because Tom has just discovered that he is going blind. And Maggie doesn't know if their love is strong enough to survive this crisis. Meanwhile, Adriana's own past is about to disrupt her present in a very terrifying way, plunging her into a deadly situation that will require all of her courage to survive. Will those who experience this Blind Melody see the light of Love? Or will darkness—both visual and emotional—win out in the end?
Crowning a decade of innovative efforts in the historical study of law and legal phenomena in the region, Crime and Punishment in Latin America offers a collection of essays that deal with the multiple aspects of the relationship between ordinary people and the law. Building on a variety of methodological and theoretical trends—cultural history, subaltern studies, new political history, and others—the contributors share the conviction that law and legal phenomena are crucial elements in the formation and functioning of modern Latin American societies and, as such, need to be brought to the forefront of scholarly debates about the region’s past and present. While disassociating law from...
As the first book of its kind, Nancy Lee Harper’s Portuguese Piano Music: An Introduction and Annotated Bibliography fills the gap in the historical record of Portuguese piano music from its start in the 18th century to the present. While although Spanish piano music is well documented owing to the reputation of such composers as Isaac Albéniz, Enrique Granados, and Manuel de Falla, our knowledge of compositions in the tradition of Portuguese piano music has not fared as well, barring the work of Carlos Seixas (1704–1742). This obscurity, however, reflects poorly on the history of early piano music in light of the many compositions written for fortepiano on behalf of the Portuguese cour...
