During the course of histeaching over 25 years, he has constantly matured and enriched its fundamental principles, as well as refining and enhancing his own coaching practice.A key ingredient in Vincent’s style of coaching is his approach to the development of the whole person, which is rooted in his long experience as a therapist. In the 1980s, he was president of the European Association of Transactional Analysis and a Member of the Board of Trustees of the International Transactional Analysis Association in San Francisco. Among his many other activities, he has an ongoing therapeutic practice, in particular mind-body therapy based on the work of John Pierrakos and Paul Bindrim. He has also worked with Taibi Kahler, Richard Erskine, Graham Barnes, Muriel James and George Kohlrieser. This book is the fruit of his 25 years of teaching and practice in coaching, as well as 40 years’ experience as a therapist. In it, he not only shares the result of decades of professional experience, but also structures the lessons learned into ten clear and powerful strategies.
