Push beyond

'Lead beyond the edge' by Frederique Murphy (Practical Inspiration Publishing; £19.99), reviewed by Emily Hutchinson.

17 June 2021

Enthusiasm bursts out of this book, as Murphy shares her framework for increasing self-confidence, overcoming self-doubt and limitations, and pushing beyond the comfort zone. She shows how her framework is underpinned by neuroscience and illustrates with case studies as well as her own personal story. The framework itself feels thorough but quite complex – it may be hard for individuals to apply but could work well within coaching. If Frederique talks as she writes, I suspect she's a great motivational speaker.
