Coaching for Optimal Energy: A Guide for Executive Coaches

by Viv Chitty, CSA Accredited Supervisor:

A completely new way of considering energy in executive coaching, the concept of Optimal Energy® is based on original research. The book is an essential resource for practitioners who want to effectively address energy with their clients and enable them to take action to optimise their energy in and out of work.

Suboptimal energy levels in senior executives, although rarely considered, can negatively impact efficacy, feelings, behaviour and self-awareness both at work and in coaching sessions. But what is optimal energy? This needs to be addressed by executive coaches, but how? Coaching for Optimal Energy answers these questions and challenges previous thinking on the subject.

Viv Chitty is a highly experienced executive coach, with over 20 years’ experience, and a coach supervisor. She runs a coaching consultancy and is passionate about working with senior clients who have multiple challenges to face.

"This rigorously researched book is a gift to practitioners, clients and organisations addressing the often ignored territory of 'human energy in the context of the workplace'. Viv Chitty asserts that having optimal energy is essential for high performance and she is right. Many aspects of energy are thoroughly addressed here: physiological, emotional and cognitive including stress - all fundamentally important in life and in business."
