Overview

"Do you feel stressed or exhausted by your work? Do you often doubt yourself and the decisions you make Do you want to take charge of your life? Using the principles of her unique coaching model, The Change Flywheel, Sam Jayasuriya will guide you through its four main elements, supporting you to achieve the change you most desire for yourself. Packed with case studies and creative activities, along with insights from her life experiences and interviews with other inspiring leaders, Sam's book will: - provide a wealth of ideas for those open to new perspectives - offer you an opportunity for some self-coaching - help you to reduce overwhelm, increase clarity and boost your confidence - enhance the ways you support and lead others Early reviews: ""This book grabbed my attention from the beginning as Jayasuriya's statement of 'serving others is an integral part of your life' chimed with my personal and professional principles. I found it refreshing to have a book about personal qualities that enliven change rather than a series of steps for organisational or cultural change. People lead change, not a process map! As a coach, mentor coach, and coaching supervisor, I am immediately reflecting on how I build momentum in my personal, professional, and practice lives to activate real change. And I'm still on the introduction."" Yvette Elcock, ICF PCC Coach, Mentor Coach, and Coaching Supervisor, Director, Moonraker Development Services Ltd ""One of my key takeaways from Sam's beautifully written book is that 'the simplest things are the best'. If indeed we cannot save time, but only use it wisely, as Sam quotes, then I take the opportunity to recommend something simple we can all do with the time we each have: read this book! It will inspire and boost your confidence to enhance the way you lead and support others, in an energising, positive and life-changing way, as it did me."" Sarah Szekir-Papasavva, Virtual Assistant, Apt Virtual Assistance Ltd 'As someone who deeply respects embodied practice, I was delighted to read this deep dive into somatic coaching. An insightful, empowering and inspiring read that encapsulates both wisdom and practical application. This book draws upon Sam's 40+ years of experience, case studies and research, offering real value for people-helping professionals and beyond.' Sobia Iqbal: Coach Supervisor, Leadership Coach and Speaker"

You can pick it up and choose a section that has most relevance to you at that point in your life and find inspiration and practical advice. It's prodded my brain, made me sit up and think and given me new ways to approach client challenges.

Rebecca Walker, Leadership Coach, Unfold Ltd ""I really enjoyed learning about The Change Flywheel, which I found to be a holistic and simple method of self-enquiry and self-development. The writing style is easy to read and each of the five main chapters is conveniently split into subsections that can be dipped into if time is limited. Although targeted at leaders and those working in people-helping professions, I believe it will benefit anyone who wants to develop insight and health in their relationship with themselves and others, and to create change that enables them to thrive in both their professional and personal lives."" Nicola Herbert, University Administrator ""A very clear and practical guide that every leader should read and add to their toolbox. Sam's book is full of useful exercises and activities which help create new insights and embed learning.

It is highly effective in building resilience, a resource that is essential to navigating through these challenging times."" Carol Pearson, Executive Coach, The Pearson Practice ""Through The Change Flywheel, Sam provides a warm, well-researched, thought- and action-provoking read.
