Overview

What if there was a way to help yourself, and others, live a more fulfilling and meaningful life? The Learn, Enjoy, Flow and Grow coaching method provides the perfect answer. It is an approach that can be applied to yourself, or others with whom you work. Ultimately, it is a process of self-development and if you are open to learning and seizing opportunities, throughout your life, then you will give yourself the opportunity to learn, enjoy, flow and grow and, in turn, find more passion and meaning. ""Derek has written a fantastic book for coaches and leaders encouraging you to understand some of the principles of positive psychology and to explore flow in your own environment.

A highly recommended book for those coaching or leading in any environment"". -Nancy Chambers, outdoor instructor and author of the Daily Gratitude Journal: Write your way to better health and happiness In this innovative book, Derek Tate shows you how to be a lifelong learner who exudes passion, who understands how to achieve flow experiences, and who can unlock the full potential that lies inside you.

Derek offers a roadmap for learning and having fun while doing so, with the purpose of helping us find greater satisfaction in our daily lives so increasing our mental wellbeing. Anyone interested in improving themselves and the quality of their lives will relate to this comprehensive and insightful book . -Sheelagh Lennon (MIACP), counsellor and psychotherapist This book is engaging and fascinating, with Derek's thoughts and ideas flowing easily into each other and you find yourself thoroughly absorbed from the start. He has given me thought provoking methods with which to review my own coaching practice and develop ideas. Derek suggests a number of great ideas to work with, all of which equally apply to life as well as sports coaching. I can't pick one chapter or topic from the book as a favourite, as for me they are all linked together and take one on a journey of thought, reflection and review. A very valuable book to own . -Jane Campbell Morrison MBE, sailing coach This book is a must read for any individuals that coach or work with people in the outdoors. It made me reflect on some practices that I take for granted and has made me understand my own mindset better. Maintaining well- being through physical activity in nature has always been important to me, but it is even more so in these times and this book helps immensely . -Marit van Kampen, International Mountain Leader (IML) and secondary school teacher of IT and outdoor education
