"It's a Zoo Around Here" : The New Rules for Better Communication

Lions, dolphins, elephants and monkeys? Sounds like a zoo! It is – a communications zoo, with everyone trying to communicate in their own style and language. With monkeys trying to joke with long-suffering elephants, and impatient lions at odds with nurturing dolphins, the result is chaos.

That’s where a good zoo keeper makes all the difference.

In this book, Nigel explains how you can become a more effective zoo keeper by recognising the variety of communication styles used by the animals in your zoo, and adapting your strategy accordingly.

Having spoken to thousands of people, Nigel has developed his own unique understanding of communication styles. Here he sets out the animals and zoo keeper model that he’s presented to audiences around the world.

You’ll learn how to identify and relate to the various personalities in your life:

• The visionary, single-minded lion
• The playful, extrovert monkey
• The careful, analytical elephant
• The caring, supportive dolphin.

Nigel has become prominent as an inspirational speaker and a peak performance coach by delivering a high-energy message, showing companies how to grow more profitable by improving their Number One resource - their people.
