Beauty in Leadership and Coaching

Book excerpt: Written by best-selling author and global thought leader Peter Hawkins, Beauty in Leadership and Coaching explores how leaders and coaches can contribute to the urgent task to transform human consciousness to address the great interconnected challenges of our times. Building on a growing interest in ecologically conscious leadership and coaching, as well as the role that poetry, story and beauty can play to transform our work, this book creates a space for both inspiration and reflection, moving beyond seeing the climate crisis and the other major global challenges as a problem to be solved towards an attitude of learning and partnering with the human and the more-than-human world. Globally and transculturally inclusive, this book will appeal to leaders, coaches, organizational development consultants and managers throughout the world, who aspire to grow and develop in their practice and make a greater contribution to the challenges we now face.
