Getting Back on Track: Regaining your Confidence and Presence at Work

The author urges people to break the taboo of what she calls “alright-ism” – the tendency to say “it’s alright” even when things are going pearshaped, because anything else feels like failure. She should know, as her own story of appalling treatment by a boss reveals.

In this little book, Lewis shares a collection of powerful client stories and sets out seven steps to helping people recover from confidencedraining experiences at work, and minimising the chances of derailment in the future.

These steps include deciding where you are going and understanding your starting point; reconnecting with yourself; and reflecting for
the future. The book contains practical yet powerful exercises, additional resources to check out, and lessons from psychological approaches such as transactional analysis and positive psychology.

Getting Back on Track is a self-coaching guide, not a reference book for seasoned coaches. As such it’s very practical, warm, encouraging
and inspiring. An excellent and accessible resource for coaches and managers-as-coaches to recommend to struggling clients, colleagues
and direct reports.
