SAILPLANING

Creating a 4-D Life & Career

Imagine a bird using the air currents to glide and soar, being fully in the moment, sensing when to adjust their wings and aware of what’s around them. That’s sailplaning. Humans have successfully adapted the technique for gliders so why not also apply it to our lives and career?

This book is packed full of metaphors, analogies, stories and activities - powerful ways of bringing together the rational conscious part of your brain with the unconscious, intuitive side - designed to support you to explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviour more deeply, gain new insights, and find the inspiration to take action. Sailplaning is for everyone - if you are leaving education, transitioning from training into employment, initiating a change in your life, work and career – or are a career professional supporting others to do so, then this book is for you. It offers a curious approach of “dip in where you like”, inviting you to listen to yourself and notice which chapters draw you in.

More like Sailplaning

My career up until now hasn’t been plane sailing, it’s been more like Sailplaning. No decision I have ever made was the wrong one and every decision felt right at the time

I Loved It

This book reads with such support and concern for those reading it and is so open and honest as well. I loved it and I think it will be hugely useful to so many people – individuals for their own self-care/career management and for practitioners to reflect on their practice too.”

Potential to Inspire

I believe this has the potential to inspire and nurture growth in everyone. I can’t wait to use this explanation and the activities with the individuals I support

Help you to take Control

These techniques will help you to take control. They will also work effectively if you are supporting individuals 1-1 or working with groups
