The book contains exercises and practical examples from experienced leaders to help you to grow your awareness and understanding, boosting your potential to be a braver leader and prompting reflection on your development in eight key areas. Each area explores the braver forms of personal and corporate leadership necessary for future leaders via four related “cornerstones” derived from literature reviews, discussions with leaders, and many years of developmental and coaching conversations.

Our attention has been hijacked by the tsunami of devices, games and social media which now dominate our lives. This new technology brings efficiency, cost-savings and instantaneous information. But when our attention is the currency being traded by big tech firms, what price are we willing to pay for convenience?

Addiction, anxiety, depression, loneliness, low self-esteem, empathy development, troubled relationships, fake news, propaganda and even threats to democracy are just some of the challenges new technology presents.

In Born Digital, Robert Wigley distils the mountains of available research on the subject and brings to bear his wealth of institutional experience to present a roadmap for society to radically and urgently reset its relationship with technology - for the sake of future generations.

Author, Terry Blackburn, had a turbulent adolescence. He was drinking and taking drugs at just 12 years old and left school at 16 without any qualifications, written off by his teachers as a loser who’d never achieve anything in life. Fast forward 18 years and at just 33, Terry is an award-winning entrepreneur, running seven very successful businesses in property investing, life insurance and mortgage brokerage. Yet Terry, a hands-on dad of 4, still prioritises his time to keep fit, eat well, and enjoy holidays, friends, reading, meditation and more. Terry believes that with the right mindset, anything and EVERYTHING is possible.

Be a Lion reveals how Terry achieved his impressive success, with practical steps and thought-provoking questions on how you can do the same. It helps the reader identify and avoid ‘animals’ such as ‘sloths’ and ‘hyenas’ who will drain your energy, waste your time and kill your dreams. This helpful guide also provides steps on how to think like a lion, to banish self-doubt and to supercharge your drive and determination, allowing you to make incredible transformations in business, money, relationships and health.

Written in an exuberant and conversational style, Be a Lion is organised into simple chapters packed with advice on how the ‘lion’ mindset can be applied to all areas of life such as: business and property – the power of simplicity, goal setting and continuous growth; health, wellbeing and fitness – drinking time-saving smoothies and writing daily goals and gratitude mantras; relationships – the importance of aligned values and a have-it-all mindset.

Terry provides actionable steps throughout his debut book to inspire and guide readers on their journey to creating an amazing life with zero self-doubt.

Most organisations and leaders do their best to be ethical and value based. With workplace policies and wellbeing initiatives designed to celebrate and create a ‘golden’ culture.

Healthy Leadership and Organisations: Beyond the Shadow Side reveals how too often workplace initiatives and policies overlook the fact that we all have a ‘shadow’ side and can, on occasion behave badly. Most of us indulge rarely or briefly, followed by remorse but sometimes these behaviours can become ingrained in organisational roles, and cultures causing untold damage to the business and people who work there.

Too often this tendency and behaviour is not named or acknowledged and inevitably interventions to improve wellbeing and change the culture fail as a result.

Clinical psychologist Anna Eliatamby’s game-changing book shows that only by acknowledging and tackling ‘shadow’ behaviours can a culture and workplace truly flourish. Included are perspectives, from other experts.

Super-helpers are better at helping others than they are at looking after themselves. Maybe you’re one of them. Maybe you know someone who is. They are the backbone of the caring professions, giving strength to our schools, clinics, care homes and hospitals. You will also find them in offices, gyms, community groups and charities – everywhere you look — and there’s usually one in every family. 

But in their efforts to help wherever they can, Super-helpers typically overstretch themselves. Some face traumatic and distressing situations. In long-term caring relationships they have no time to care for themselves. In professional care roles, they work prolonged hours with inadequate resources. 

Deep down, beneath all their care for others, there is something that causes helpers to suffer. It lurks unnoticed. It dwells in the psychology of the helper and compels them to help others to the extent that they don’t look after their own needs. This is super-helper syndrome. Until recently this phenomenon has gone unnoticed and unnamed, but now it has been highlighted by two chartered psychologists, Jess Baker and Rod Vincent. 

The Super-Helper Syndrome offers a new perspective on the psychology of helping. It sets out how helping works and why it sometimes goes wrong. It brings to life psychological and neuroscientific research to explain the roots of compassion and empathy. It goes deep into the belief system of helpers and reveals what really motivates them. It illustrates all this with excerpts from a broad spectrum of interviews with paid and unpaid helpers, from ICU nurses to lawyers, volunteers to live-in carers. The book provides activities for the reader to profile and analyse their own helping relationships. It offers support for people who want to adopt a Healthy Helper Mindset, including meeting their own needs, building assertiveness and setting helping boundaries. It guides the reader towards countering the inner critic with mindful self-compassion. It’s only by doing these things that compassionate people can be most effective at helping others.
