We also introduce Rick Snyder\u2019s \u2018Hope Theory\u2019 and discuss other ways that we might consider the concept and how it relates to coaching.    Tom provides a very personal account of his own relationship with Hope and his VIA Character Strengths report as life has unfolded over the last 7 years.    We hope that our conversation on the topic will spark some ideas for you around the benefits of discussing Hope, along with other Character Strengths in the coaching room.      Enjoy the podcast?
