Description
Get out of autopilot and provide greater development. Cut through the pointless propaganda that to be good at developing people, you’re supposed to take ‘the one best approach’. Increase the impact you make in less time. Learn to Coach-Sell-Teach-Tell(TM) In this provocative, common-sense book, Mark Dando shows you how to stack together four powerful approaches to developing people in the essential skills that really make a difference to their ability to perform. Providing simple clarity, he outlines the neurological implications and learning objectives for each approach; describes how to increase effectiveness by keeping things simple; and explores the key skills of connecting and listening that will make all the difference to what you do. As a result, you’ll help people to high performance more quickly, save yourself time to concentrate on your own work, and be more confident that you know what to do and why for maximum impact. Mark Dando is a mentor, coach and trainer. He co-founded Coloured Square with Doug Richardson in 2000. Since then, they have used their very particular approach to learning and development to provide help for people and organisations in management, leadership, sales, field management, influence, presenting, training, training design…in fact, in anything that involves communication. Well-being and resilience have been common themes in Mark and Doug’s work for nearly twenty years, but in the last two years they’ve been pulling together many strands and principles to provide a single package which will address the topic more formally. ‘Don’t Strain LittleBrain’ demanded to be written as a result. It is Mark’s third book. The first two, written with Doug, are about their attitudes to time and to presenting. Mark lives in Bristol. He recently published his first children’s book, ‘The Boy Who Yawned’, also with SilverWood Books. His friends think he reads a lot. His kids think he plays a lot. His guitar teacher knows he doesn’t practise enough. He keeps himself pretty busy. He’s trying to learn to chill out a bit more. Maybe this book will help.
