I hope this finds you well. I don’t know about you, but I’m excited about the World Cup and getting behind England in the next few weeks.  What did you think of the team selection earlier this week?  I wonder if the players are as good at selling themselves off the field?
I came across this fantastic video on You Tube about the ‘Science of Persuasion’.   Great content and highly creative!  It’s about how we’re persuaded and describes 6 shortcuts to how people make decisions.

Many of my clients have difficulty negotiating or taking their career to the next level.  I imagine there will also be a few players disappointed they didn’t make the England Team.   Coaching will give you the skills needed to sell yourself better and improve outcomes when negotiating.  Drop me a line to find out more!

Come on England!

On Leadership

A mate of mine, Mike Carson has recently launched a new book called The Manager.  I haven’t had a chance to read it yet but here’s a few reviews:

A book that aims to dig deeper, including “behind-the-scenes” interviews with more than 30 managers, must be welcomed … Carson does well to avoid the kinds of clichés that blight so many other books on football (Financial Times)

Mike Carson takes a different approach in his compelling examination of 30 managers, treating his subjects as savvy businessmen as much as sports gurus … It’s impossible to interview such people and not come away with some peerless insights (Observer)
