Unfolding: How biographical inquiry informs meaning-making in coaching psychology

By Dr Saba Hasanie

Unfolding: How Biographical inquiry informs meaning-making in coaching psychology breaks new ground on what some researchers call the third generation of executive coaching practice, founded on the doctoral research of Dr Saba Hasanie and based on qualitative research with highly experienced executive coaches. Incorporating childhood through biographical inquiry has traditionally been considered off-limits in coaching practice, but increasingly this intersection of the past, present and future is being understood to be a critical element for both personal and performance improvement.

The Blueprint to Leadership: How Your Origins Shape Leadership in a Complex World (Emerging Conversations in Leadership)

By Dr Saba Hasanie

The Blueprint to Leadership promotes a way to move from automatic reaction to conscious leadership in the moments that matter most. While most leadership development focuses on skills, this book works at the level beneath, where patterns are formed and decisions are made.

Drawing on over two decades of leadership coaching and the Biographical Dimensions of Meaning Making (BDMM©) framework, this book introduces the author’s own Origins Map™, a practical model for understanding how early experiences shape how leaders interpret authority, trust, identity, belonging, emotion, and the world itself. Combining research, conceptual insight, and rich case composites; chapters reveal how leaders continue to repeat familiar patterns under pressure, even if they know better. By working with the patterns beneath behaviour, leaders gain the ability to interrupt default responses, expand their range, and lead with greater clarity, adaptability, and impact in a complex world.

This book will be a perfect guide for learning professionals and coaches who are looking to implement a unique and evidence-based leadership model into their practice.
