130 Rebecca Jones, Professor and Coach: When She Went Back To School - How To Activate A Growth Mindset

Back in 2019/2020 when I started on this journey of coaching, speaking, podcasting and writing, I had the great privilege of training on the Henley Business School coaching programme here in the UK. My guest today is an esteemed Professor at Henley and I was fascinated by her recent choice to trade places and become a student on the same programme that I’d trained. We’ll talk about that! But her personal journey is also frankly pretty inspiring – how she beat the odds to ascend the academic ladder and become a business school professor.  Professor Rebecca Jones PhD is a Professor in Coaching and Behavioural Change at Henley Business School, a Chartered Psychologist and Co-Founder of the Inclusive Leadership Company. Her research interests lie in examining the factors that influence coaching effectiveness and her consultancy practice focuses on working with organisations to create diverse and inclusive workplaces using coaching and psychological theory and research to achieve sustained behaviour change. Rebecca is the author of the book ‘Coaching with Research in Mind’, host of ‘Coaching@Henley’ and ‘The Coaching Academic’ podcasts and has published her research in globally renowned journals.I’m looking forward to hearing more of her personal journey and also to get her take on how we can turn intent into action and establish effective new habits in work and in life that help us to be at our very best.--Prof Rebecca Jones: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecca-jones-35ab8526/Coaching at Henley Business School: https://www.henley.ac.uk/coaching-at-henleyThe Inclusive Leadership Company: https://inclusiveleadershipcompany.com/ The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — master interviewer, executive coach and author.
