IT TAKES JUST TEN MINUTES a day train your mind - you will feel
more awake, more alive and more creative. Using these carefully
researched exercises you can increase your attention span, realise
your potential and use your mind to its full capacity. Yes, just
ten...short ... minutes. Nearly half of our waking hours are spent
thinking about something other than what we are doing. We are only
aware of a tiny fraction of what we are thinking, feeling and
sensing - so we're barely conscious of how and why we behave the
way we do. This book sets out to help you get your mind out of
automatic more often. The human mind is an extraordinary thing. It
determines the way we experience and respond to whatever life
throws at us. Yet most of us live as though we have no control over
our minds. This is simply not true. If we want to change our lives
in any way, the most effective way to do that is to change the way
our mind is shaped - the way in which we interpret and respond to
everyday events as well as to our own thoughts and feelings. Mind
Time contains simple, clear exercises that take only ten minutes
per day and our research tells us that if you do these exercises,
your life will change. The exercises build three core capacities -
curiosity, self-awareness and acceptance. If you do them, and build
these capacities, you will become less reactive and more
responsive. This will lead to positive benefits in several key
areas: your relationships, your ability to deal with unexpected
events and your capacity to stay purposeful and to see your life as
a matter of choices rather than seemingly impossible challenges.
Just set aside ten minutes each day to engage in a few simple
practices, then after a short while you will start to see a
transformation for the better. That's our promise to you. Isn't it
time we learned to shape our minds - not be shaped by them?

Shortlisted for CMI management Book of the Year 2020 "A powerful
book on an important topic. Speak Up helps us understand the subtle
elements that contribute to our holding back valuable ideas and
observations. Their TRUTH framework - which is as practical as it
is rigorous - identifies essential elements to help individuals
find their voice. " Amy Edmondson, Professor, Harvard Business
School, Author, The Fearless Organization (Wiley, 2019) What you
say or don't say in a conversation can have life-defining
consequences on ourselves and those around us. Speak Up helps you
to navigate power differences so you can speak up with confidence
and enable others to find their voice in a way that will be heard.
Our day-to-day conversations define how we see ourselves and how
we're seen. The choices we make about what to say and who to say it
to are decisive factors in whether we get promoted, or side-lined.
Whether we steer clear of trouble, or find ourselves in it up to
our necks. With daily scandals hitting the headlines and the
continuous need to innovate to survive, creating a more honest,
open, fulfilling and productive workplace has never been more
pressing. Our conversational choices harness the ideas and
intelligence of the people we work with, or result in that
revolutionary concept never seeing the light of day. They make us
feel proud or ashamed of ourselves for what we have or have not
said. They cause us to flourish and feel motivated, or result in us
feeling dissatisfied and resentful. Speak Up helps you to navigate
power differences and speak up with confidence in a way that you
will be heard. But it's no good speaking up if there isn't anyone
listening so we also help you to understand how your power enables
others to speak up and how it might silence them.
