‘Kukard does two astonishing things with this book: first, she takes something we hate (stuckness) and makes it our generative friend, and second, she tells us how to move through stuckness to fluidity. The combination will help anyone who has ever tried to get themselves or someone else unstuck. A groundbreaking and helpful book!’ Dr. Jennifer Garvey Berger, CEO Cultivating Leadership, author Unlocking Leadership Mindtraps ‘A useful process-based book, which will help practitioners and coaches to rethink their own, as well as their clients and colleagues-, historical mental models, old ways of being and the resulting behaviours. It encourages readers to practically adapt for contextual relevance, and facilitate more authentic enactment(s) in the world.’ Prof. Kurt April, Allan Gray Chair, University of Cape Town ‘The Cycle of Stuckness is a cycle of loss and healing, rupture and repair. Loss and grief are natural companions as we grapple to merge our past into the creation of our new lives. Kukard describes how we coaches can flow with these cycles whilst supporting our clients to do so as well. It is a manual for the cycles of life and a must-read for all coaches.’ Dr Helena Dolny, Author of Before Forever After, Leadership Coach, Co-founder of LoveLegacyDignity (NPO encouraging life-affirming conversations about mortality) 'Leaders get stuck in outdated ways of responding to the world. As a result, they make decisions that do not create the outcomes their organisations need. Leadership ‘stuckness’ has become an epidemic with severe negative impact for the future of human life on earth. This excellent book helps those who support leaders, their coaches. It describes coaching practices that unlock stuckness in leaders and help them to be more agile and responsive to an increasingly complex context.’ Prof Richard Calland, Sustainability Strategist, Governance Professor, Political Commentator, Author
