In personal and professional life alike, it’s not a question of whether the clouds will come. We know they will.
With expert guidance from world-renowned leadership and motivation expert Drew Povey, the new book When the Clouds Come is a hands-on guide full of proven, ready-to-go strategies, that offers a range of practical steps to triumph over life’s challenges, whether in work, education, sport, or life in general.
Povey shows readers what they can do to ride out the storm when significant, and sometimes devastating, challenges come out of nowhere, and how to come out stronger on the other side.
He explains how to:
- Develop strategies and techniques for coping
- Gain confidence to pursue ambitions and goals
- Choose the philosophies, ideals and techniques that suit you best
- Overcome loneliness and isolation by realising you’re not alone
- Face uncertainty, doubt, and confusion with a new resolve
Of the book, Povey says: “I really felt that there was a need for people to have more conversations around what happens when life isn’t going so well. When life gets difficult. When you’re feeling like the walls are closing in or you are perhaps in the middle of your own storm. Bad things happen, it’s normal, it’s customary to us, it is relatable. Whatever it is, it’s when those negative times come, those difficult moments, that I really think we need to deepen our understanding. Hopefully, this is just what this book will do.”
When the Clouds Come will be available wherever books are sold, priced £11.99
