Paula Reid plans to present her unique niche of psychology - ‘Adventure Psychology’, or as she describes it ‘when the going gets tough’ psychology (see her Routledge book: https://www.routledge.com/Adventure-Psychology-Going-Knowingly-into-the-Unknown/Reid-Brymer/p/book/9781032003047) Adventure Psychology compares with life’s journey or ‘the hero’s journey’ - a long, endurance event full of peaks and troughs. It particularly specialises in: uncertainty, endurance, extreme conditions, fear, failure, courage, challenge and change. Paula coaches using positive psychology foundations and adventure psychology content / experience.
In this session she plans to: present adventure psychology, perhaps talk a little of her own experiences (skiing to South Pole, volunteering in Ukraine, etc) and then present a Case Study involving atypical coaching conditions… As Ranulph Fiennes said about her work: “Paula is onto something big here with her Adventure Psychology. The will to succeed and endure is key to performance.” Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
She describes her mission to ‘support and challenge people to thrive’ and has her own psychological triage model which includes the important baseline - ‘survival’ mode. This session plans to be different and come at the coaching psychology theme from a different angle to provoke fresh insight and stimulate new thinking.
