About the author

Ian Pettigrew is a positive psychology coach who firmly believes that hope is a strategy, having witnessed the power of hope in his own life and of those he works with. He coaches leaders around the world, helping them to address the global hope crisis and put hope into action for themselves, their teams and their organizations.
He is a regular speaker at conferences and was named by HR Magazine as one of HR’s Most Influential Thinkers. He is a Gallup-certified strengths coach and a Fellow member of the Association for Coaching.
Ian has very personal experience of the importance of putting hope into action: a motorbike accident on the racetrack resulted in six operations and much pain and effort before he could walk again. Subsequently he broke every bone in his ankle and - whilst recuperating - started training to cycle the height of Everest in a day.
