This book harnesses thinking from different coaching approaches and specifically addresses the need to be aware of, acknowledge and respond to different national cultural norms that can affect and impact on individuals and teams in their effectiveness. Written by two authors who have both worked as individual and team coaches with clients from multiple countries of origin, this book looks at how the existential framework of a coach needs to absorb the national cultural lens as well as those from an individual’s personality or professional background. It highlights how traditional methods of coaching practice can, unhelpfully, assume nationally biased interpretations of behaviour, and uses the existential approach as a specific way to explain the need to recognize often unspoken norms that can get in the way of addressing the needs arising. Aimed at professionals in the coaching field, offering practical checklists through which to be reminded of core principles, it is also relevant for anyone who wants to look for and understand how to overcome national behavioural differences that may not be immediately apparent.

The author of the bestselling The Immune System Recovery Plan shares her science-based, drug-free treatment plan for the almost fifty million people who suffer from arthritis: an amazing 3-step guide to eliminate the disease naturally. Arthritis is the most common cause of disability in the world--greater than both back pain and heart disease. One example, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), is the most common autoimmune disease, affecting 1% of the US population, and almost 68 million people worldwide. Conventional medicine tends to treat arthritis with strong, gut-damaging, immune-suppressing pain medications, temporarily relieving the symptoms of the disease without addressing its root causes. Now, in her groundbreaking new book, Dr. Susan Blum, a leading expert in functional medicine, offers a better approach to healing arthritis permanently. Dr. Blum's groundbreaking three-step protocol is designed to address the underlying causes of the condition and heal the body permanently by: -Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and more -Healing your gut to heal your joints -Reducing inflammation without medication Dr. Blum's innovative two-week plan to quickly reduce pain through anti-inflammatory foods and supplements; followed by an intensive gut repair to rid the body of bad bacteria and strengthen the gastrointestinal system for a dramatic improvement in arthritis symptoms and inflammation; and then addresses the emotional issues that contribute to inflammation, and eating a simple, Mediterranean inspired diet to maintain a healthy gut. Featuring detailed case studies, including Dr. Blum's own inspiring personal story, Healing Arthritis offers a revolutionary way to heal your gut, repair your immune system, control inflammation, and live a happier, healthier life...arthritis-free.

DR. BLUM ASKS: - Are you constantly exhausted? - Do you frequently feel sick? - Are you hot when others are cold, or cold when everyone else is warm? - Do you have trouble thinking clearly, aka "brain fog"? - Do you often feel irritable? - Are you experiencing hair loss, dry skin, or unexplained weight fluctuation? - Do your joints ache or swell but you don't know why? - Do you have an overall sense of not feeling your best, but it has been going on so long it's actually normal to you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have an autoimmune disease, and this book is the "medicine" you need. Among the most prevalent forms of chronic illness in this country, autoimmune disease affects nearly 23.5 million Americans. This epidemic--a result of the toxins in our diet; exposure to chemicals, heavy metals, and antibiotics; and unprecedented stress levels--has caused millions to suffer from autoimmune conditions such as Graves' disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, lupus, and more.
