Jonathan Beale

Dr. Jonathan Beale FRSA is a peak performance coach, researcher, consultant, writer, keynote speaker and educator whose research focuses on human flourishing. A key area of his research is how human beings can fulfil their potential by facilitating flow in their lives, and the role this plays in enabling people to flourish. His current research projects include investigating how to facilitate group flow in learning environments to maximise learning, productivity, efficiency and well-being. His research also focuses on the science of learning and how to develop character strengths, especially resilience.

Beale has vast experience as a researcher and educator which he brings to his coaching. He has taught at leading universities and schools including the University of Oxford and Eton College. His coaching focuses on how he can most effectively guide clients into the flow channel, in which we are challenged such that skills are stretched to their full capacities to support the fulfilment of potential. His work follows the principle of the father of flow, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi: flow occurs ‘when a person’s skills are fully involved in overcoming a challenge that is just about manageable’. In his coaching sessions, Beale aims to stretch everyone to their limits so they can thrive.
