Matt Abrahams

Publisher: Pan Macmillan ISBN: 9781035024957 Released: 26.09.2023

Publisher PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

Communication is crucial to success in life and business. However, it is not just big speeches that matter: it is also those critical, spur-of-the-moment situations for which we cannot prepare.

A prospective client asking unexpected questions during a sales pitch, a teacher singling you out for an answer during a class, a high-pressure meeting with senior executives at work, or even a heartwarming toast to deliver on the spot. All are fraught scenarios that might cause you to freeze up. The pandemic has only boosted this fear, by stripping the spontaneity from communication during lockdown, and then changing the communication landscape.

In this invaluable guide, Matt Abrahams – Stanford University lecturer and creator of the hit podcast, Think Fast, Talk Smart – provides a six-point methodology that will enable you to cut through the anxiety arising from these stressful, impromptu circumstances to create and deliver crisp, compelling and calm communication.

Rich Forever: What They Didn’t Teach You about Money, Finance and Investments in School

Bianca Miller-Cole & Byron Cole

Publisher: John Murray ISBN: 9781399807593 Released: 12.10.2023

Publisher PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

Remember when talking about money was taboo? Times have changed and in our times, with so many radical and disruptive changes to the economy, the role of the entrepreneur now embedded at the centre of so much societal and technological change, and digital currencies changing the way we think about exchange, money has become a vital, insistent of conversation for everyone. All of us acknowledge it matters desperately; yet so few of us really understand it.

The press and social media are awash with rags to riches stories, stories of kitchen table businesses that become multi-million-pound enterprises. Stories of teenagers and young adults investing in digital currencies from their bedrooms. On the flip side of these aspirational stories there is the reality of the everyday person who simply wants to understand what to and what not to do with their money. Should they save or invest, if they invest - what in, if they save - what for? Should they buy a home or rent, should they live for the moment or live for retirement. How does having credit provide more credit and would insurance be the best bet if all falls around you and what the hell is APR anyway?

Finance and money are topics we all wish we learnt at school but instead we find ourselves having to 'learn on the job', having to do deep investigations and 'trust' the advice from online experts. There must be a better way and a better place to go to for this insight and here we have it, courtesy of two authors who have known hardship and huge success - "What they should have taught you about money, finance and investment at school' to fill that void.

GLUE: Transforming Leadership in a Hybrid World

John Dore

Publisher: Routledge ISBN: 9781032531687 Released: 04.10.2023

Book PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

The adoption of remote, hybrid and flexible working is the new normal. But like the old normal, no one seems very happy. The solution requires a different type of leadership – one that unites, transforms and elevates performance. Leadership that creates glue.

With employee engagement, productivity and personal ties on the wane, leaders urgently need to refocus on harnessing relationships, making their organisations more humane, and finding new ways to engage and unleash talent. To do that, the single, most impactful thing leaders can do is to create and nurture an intangible, yet essential, factor called glue.

Glue sets out some ideas about glue: where to look for it, how to use it and, most importantly, how to cultivate glue amongst your most valuable people. It explores the approach of some unusual leaders, and of firms transformed through the ‘organisational advantage’ of smartly configuring and harnessing talent. Using stories from firms such as Alibaba, Apple, Barclays, Sky, Husqvarna Group, HSBC, Space X, Zopa and Richer Sounds, the book shows how leaders can shape the effectiveness of teams, reimagine the workplace, and reinvigorate their business through the talents, ideas and energy of their firm’s best people.

This book is for anyone who has a genuine interest in leading others with impact and wants to better unite, transform and elevate their business. Whatever your role, sector or seniority, this book sets out a distinctive vision for the firm and shows the profound impact you can make through creating and nurturing glue.

Crazy Busy: Keeping Sane in a Stressful World

Thijs Launspach

Publisher: Wiley ISBN: 9780857089458 Released: 08.09.2022

Book PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

In Crazy Busy acclaimed psychologist Thijs Launspach examines why we often work ourselves to the bone and what we can do to prevent this. He explains how to cope with stress and create more peace and calm in your life. He draws on the latest scientific knowledge, the methods used by experts and the stories told by those who have learned the hard way what stress can do to both body and mind. All to provide you with the answer to the question: how can you free yourself from a life of stress?

A full diary and no time to think; the feeling that you are always playing catch-up and never quite hitting the mark: our lives today are almost invariably crazy busy. Being busy is one of the hallmarks of the modern era. But the pressure is taking its toll on us.

The number of burnouts has risen dramatically over the past ten years. In fact, it has now reached epidemic proportions: approximately one in seven of all workers suffers badly from stress or has been forced to take a break from work because of stress-related complaints. And even if you don’t reach the actual burnout stage, stress can still make your life a lot less enjoyable.

Why are our lives so hectic? Have we all become workaholics? Why are we so susceptible to FOMO (the Fear Of Missing Out)? And most importantly, what can you do to cope with the stress in your life and prevent a burnout?

  • Do you find yourself rushing to get things finished more than once a week?
  • Do others often offer you well-intentioned advice on ‘how to slow things down a little’.
  • Do you ever suspect that the stress you feel prevents you from being as happy as you would like to be?
  • Are you more addicted to your smartphone than you would care to admit? Is it the first thing you reach for when you wake up in the morning?
  • Do you often find yourself longing to stop and take a break from it all?

If your answer to one or more of these questions is ‘Yes’, then this is the book for you.

Reverse Mentoring: Removing Barriers and Building Belonging in the Workplace

Patrice Gordon

Publisher: Little, Brown ISBN: 9780306829611 Released: 01.11.2022

Book PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

Most organizations today strive for goals such as employee diversity, inclusive leadership, and younger and fresher ideas. But how do we get there?

In her trailblazing Reverse Mentorship program, world-renowned executive coach and personal development advocate Patrice Gordon creates a safe and engaging culture by having senior leaders learn from junior employees. While typical mentoring programs arrange for a senior manager to teach the more junior employee, Reverse Mentoring is the opposite: it's all about a leader leaning into their vulnerability, forming a relationship with an underrepresented employee, and amplifying the voice of marginalized people within the company.

Reverse Mentoring offers various tips to make reverse mentorship work. Gordon explores the power of uncomfortable and awkward moments becoming key points of transformation when people have to pause, reflect and assess their past behaviors and current assumptions which are at odds with the topic at hand. She ultimately reveals how bringing more humanity into our organizations allows us to see one another and ourselves in a radically new light.

Financial Feminism: A Woman’s Guide to Investing for a Sustainable Future

Jessica Robinson

Publisher: Unbound

Book PRPublisher PRThought Leader PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

There has been a huge focus on the gender pay gap over the last few years – but what about the gender investment gap?

Many women aren’t investing, instead leaving their money in savings. Financial Feminism reveals how to avoid this trap and why, in doing so, women can not only get closer to achieving financial equality with men, but also help build the world they want to live in.

650 million girls and women alive today were married before their 18th birthday. 80% of people displaced by climate change are women. Just 2.8% of capital invested in US start-ups goes to all-female founding teams.

Robinson explains why sustainable investment is key to tackling these issues. Women are owning more of the world’s wealth and are motivated to do more with it than earn money – they have the power to change the world with their wealth. Robinson sets out a pioneering new approach to get women investing and driving progress towards the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals for a fairer world.

Arming women with all the information they need to demystify the finance industry and get started investing sustainably, the book explores what sustainable investing is, why sustainable investing is smart investing and how to develop a sustainable investment strategy.

Finding strength he never knew he had, Mark fought alongside Emily, both lost, both scared, but finding solace in one other.
