Basic Texts in International Relations: The Evolution of Ideas about International Society

"Vital reading for anyone who wants to create communications that cause people to act."
Matt Barlow, CEO, CAP

When you face a red light, what can you say to turn it green?

On stage needing to hook the audience?

Convincing a friend over coffee?

Sweating it in a job interview?

The results of what you say aren't coincidence. Whether you persuade, or not, is down to whether you use the right prompts.

The Centre Brain - the body's action centre - responds to what it hears. And, if the right prompts are used, the brain can be persuaded to act. Effective communication isn't a lottery. The Centre Brain explains why your communication works, or doesn't. Why you prompt action, or don't.

The result of a 20-year quest to discover what prompts action, The Centre Brain offers readers a glimpse into the story behind their stories. Combining psychological insight, real-life experience and inspiring application, this book will show how you can make your message unmissable using the Centre Brain 5 prompts to action.

Steve Adams works with organizations and churches, on brand, story and communication, helping them to use the five Centre Brain prompts to trigger action. A popular conference speaker, Steve has also worked in TV, radio and magazines and as Tearfund’s Head of Global Brand and Communication.
