The Art of Possibility is co-written by Rosamund Stone Zander and her husband Benjamin Zander. Rosamund is an executive coach and family systems therapist. Benjamin,Continue reading “The Weekend Read – The Art of Possibility”

This is widely proclaimed as a “classic of its kind” and suggested by every life coach in the land and beyond. I have to admit that I have not read it, until now. So, as the Christmas season is just about upon us and a New Year beckons, I have decided to use Jenny’s bookContinue reading “The Weekend Read – Your Best Year Yet by Jinny S. Ditzler”
The Weekend Read – The Starbucks Experience
(This review first went out in More Profit in Less Time in October 2007.) ….I took myself off to the closest bookshop to Rees Acres, that being ‘Waterstones’ in Literature Festival, Cheltenham, bought the book and settled down in the coffee shop within the bookshop. Now this coffee shop is a branch of Costa CoffeeContinue reading “The Weekend Read – The Starbucks Experience”
The Weekend Read – Mastering The Business Of Practice by Marc Cooper
I first read this book just over 12 months ago and became an instant fan of Marc’s. Dr Cooper has been coaching dentists and their teams for 25 years and understands the Business of Dental Practice from top to bottom. As a qualified dentist and one time practicing periodontist his comprehension of the “sharp end”Continue reading “The Weekend Read – Mastering The Business Of Practice by Marc Cooper”
The Weekend Read – Ping by Alan Stevens
My clients, like all owners of professional businesses, are aware that they need to promote themselves and their businesses; although in most cases the two are synonomous. But where to start? Newspapers? TV? Radio? and what about the apparently overwhelming number of social media opportunities. Where do they fit in with Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter and the rest?Continue reading “The Weekend Read – Ping by Alan Stevens”
Think and Grow Rich

From a degree at Oxford University, good jobs in business and a seemingly happy marriage to a single handed oarContinue reading “The Weekend Read – Rowing The Atlantic-Lessons Learned on the Open Ocean by Roz Savage”

The Weekend Read – Synchronicity (The Inner Path of Leadership) by Joseph Jaworski
This is (yet) another book that I wouldn’t have come across without Chris Barrow’s guidance, so cheers again cb. One of the joys or occasional chores of this, recently neglected, part of the blog is that I demand of myself to re-read or at least scan the mentioned book if it isn’t a new oneContinue reading “The Weekend Read – Synchronicity (The Inner Path of Leadership) by Joseph Jaworski”
W.H.S. – Bring back choice.
I have a soft spot for W.H.Smith & Son, they were my father’s first employers and he worked for them from 1938 through until 1953. Had he not he would not have moved from South Wales to Gloucester, would not have visited his boss, a man with the improbable name of Arthur Austritch, and wouldContinue reading “W.H.S. – Bring back choice.”
