The mission of Institute of Coaching is to promote scientific research to empower positive change in the coaching community. We created this Masterclass in resilience to help coaches and individuals learn about resources and techniques to support their mental health during these uncertain times.
During these current times the scope of what’s being asked of leaders is wider than ever. It is crucial right now for leaders to have more self awareness and to educate themselves to rise to unprecedented challenges. In our Lessons in Leadership we offer tools that will help you navigate these uncertain conditions and focus on our common humanity to strive together.
Wishing you strength and resilience, The IOC Team
