Skills That Build is the intersection of science, business, and well-being, from the perspective of a seasoned management consultant and executive coach. It offers readers an accessible means to coach themselves on skills in four critical areas that promote psychological health and generate success both in the workplace and at home.
Demand for leadership coaching has skyrocketed worldwide in the last five years, but few people can afford a professional coach. Even fewer receive coaching for career development through their employer. Busy racking up buzzworthy credentials on their own time, today's emerging workers and leaders teeter precariously between personal and career aspirations.

If ever there was a need for preventive mental health practices and accessible tools for workplace empowerment, the time is now. Before Covid-19, the workforce was focused on ascending the career ladder, with less attention paid to maintaining a healthy grip on personal well-being. Since then, the pandemic underscored a need for resilience and effective ways to cope on both professional and personal fronts. While successful leaders build success from within, they must first lead themselves. This book becomes the virtual coach on the bookshelf, as readers master career-advancing skills that promote psychological health. Anyone can learn these behaviors and enhance their current repertoire using this evidence-based guide for skills that build us.

Through stories from coaching clients, groundbreaking scientific research, business applications, and exercises to master new behaviors, Skills That Build demonstrates actionable techniques and empowers readers to jump-start their uniquely personal growth strategies.
