Do your friends and colleagues see you as a successful person who is calm, professional and cheerful - while sometimes you feel far from it? Sarah Dale, the chartered occupational psychologist behind the Creating Focus coaching programme, has met many people for whom this seems to be the case. People who face daunting workloads; rapid change; uncertainty about the future; and a sometimes impossible conflict between work, home and well-being. It's a mix that can dampen your enthusiasm for a career you once loved and leave you too tired to enjoy your leisure time. This book, drawing on sound research, suggests realistic ways of Keeping Your Spirits Up.
