Coach Yourself Again
What if the person best equipped to guide you through life's toughest changes was already within you?
In Coach Yourself Again, executive coach and Alexander Technique practitioner Margaret Stolmack draws on more than three decades of coaching experience — and her own journey through burnout, illness, and self-discovery — to show readers how to become their own most powerful source of transformation.
After collapsing under the pressure of a high-stakes career and a family health crisis, Stolmack discovered that lasting change doesn't come from external fixes, but from learning to work skillfully with the connection between mind, body, and emotion. This book is the practical, deeply personal toolkit that grew out of that discovery.
