Hope is one of the 24 VIA Character Strengths identified by Martin Seligman and Chris Peterson back in 2004 and included in the Values in Action inventory that they created.

In this episode we explore how Seligman and Peterson defined Hope. We also introduce Rick Snyder's 'Hope Theory' 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.
