The hope is the reader will experience the psychological safety to create fearless and inclusive relationships in all their life settings. The pathways to psychological safety are outlined throughout the book with a focus on parents, teachers, managers and leaders, who are the architects of the relationships they create with significant others.
Tony Humphries argues that we can no longer blame institutions or governments for the economic crisis and that the fault lies with individual leaders who acted inhumanely and unethically. The book strongly argues that it is the mature process of being conscious of the need to resolve their unconscious defenses that lies at the heart of leadership effectiveness and development. The book sets out to facilitate leaders in this mature process by showing why and how unconscious defenses are created, how they can be identified, and how conscious resolutions can be found.
Self-Esteem - The Key to Your Child's Education is a must for any parent concerned about their children's education and their personal and career development. Parents act as the mirror for their children, and their responses to them determine the image children form of themselves. How children see themselves in turn influences their academic progress. This book aims to help parents create a family environment that promotes their own and their children's self-esteem. Dr Humphreys makes it clear that without attention to children's inner conflicts and self-esteem, it is unlikely that attempts to increase children's educational efforts will be successful. He sets out a clear plant on how to foster children's love of learning, emphasising that the emotional welfare of children is the cornerstone of their educational development.
