Climate change is not just an environmental problem it's a human one. Yet as humans we are
not changing fast enough for ourselves and our planet. Our sense of powerlessness and the
belief that our actions won't make a difference is holding us back from taking action and
working on the psychological dimension of change could make the difference to moving us
forward. In this transformative book climate change coaching trailblazers Charly Cox and Sarah
Flynn explain why changing for our climate is so hard and why coaching offers a key to
affecting behaviour. With practical easy-to-grasp skills that shift mindsets and motivate
action they show how to build connection using a coaching approach to overcome resistance and
empower people to embrace change. If people often tell you What difference can I really make?
or How can we possibly succeed? then Climate Change Coaching will help you: .Understand the
psychological barriers to change and how to address them .Gain practical connection-building
skills to have more impact in every conversation .Build stronger more trusting relationships
to make long-term change more likely .Develop a new perspective on how individual change leads
to systems change .Discover how to help organisations succeed at change and what creates social
change .Learn to coach and support yourself to manage stress and avoid burnout Whether you are
changing an organisation engaging a community or coaching individuals this book will change
the way that you connect and how you influence. With example conversations and real-life
stories from 40 practitioners from the worlds of sustainability business academia and
coaching it will show you how coaching skills are being used individually and organisationally
to galvanise climate action. This practical guide fills many of the gaps with tools that can
help us become better allies to each other in supporting the personal and systemic shifts
