Facing It - Health Wellbeing and Resilience Coaching
This one-hour webinar introduces Facing It, a practical health, wellbeing, and resilience coaching approach designed for coaches who work with clients navigating chronic illness, disability, treatment, recovery, uncertainty, workplace reintegration, caring responsibilities, or identity change. It positions resilience not as forced positivity or “bouncing back,” but as a learnable set of skills that helps people meet adversity while staying connected to their values, choices, strengths, and sense of self.
Editor in Chief of Coaching Life, Liz Pickworth, draws from her lived experience and professional training to explore what resilience can look like in real life. Drawing from the Sidelines Consulting article, “What is resilience, and how can we become better at it,” the webinar emphasises that resilience is a skill that can be developed over time, particularly when people are supported to find meaning, tolerate difficulty, and build practical strategies rather than being pushed to ignore pain, grief, fear, or fatigue.
Who This Webinar Is For
- Coaches who support clients living with chronic illness, disability, pain, fatigue, treatment side effects, or fluctuating capacity.
