Book Launch - Existential Perspectives on Coaching
I'd like to personally invite you to a Book Launch on Friday June 1st.
Meet the authors (I'm one of them) and get a reduced price signed copy of this collection of articles on how
existential ideas can be fruitfully applied to coaching.
The event starts at 5.30pm , finished as 7.30 pm at NSPC Belsize Road London NW6 4BT
The editors and chapter authors will be presenting their ideas from the book.
