About this title

From the Author

Hi there,

We all want more time and more results. It's the #1 request of people I see in my one-to-one work or in leadership development programmes. I wrote this book to help share pragmatic, simple exercises that will help you develop clarity in your thinking. Our brains work well when focused but today's busy world often puts them on auto pilot mode. By doing the exercises in this book you will become a sharper, clearer thinker which means you will gain more control about how you spend your time and what results you chase. You will also learn a powerful set of simple, intuitive strategies that when applied will amplify your results ten to hundred fold.

You can start anywhere as let's face it, busy people don't have lots of time to read a whole book to get answers. And yet, the chapters do build on themseleves. I have worked with leaders using exercises like the emotional pallette to help them manage emotions and stay present and message honing exercises to get their ideas embraced by others. People who master these exercises, have more confidence, get more done and are happier. So much so in fact that I'm quatifying it now.

So give the book a go! This is not a book one reads. It's a book one does. I wish you good luck and look forward to meeting you in time and hear about your story.
