Is Your Boss Mad?
The definitive guide to coping with your boss
by Jill Walker
It wasn’t difficult to research this book. Poor management is sadly so very common. Almost everyone has a story about a mad bad boss they once worked for – go on, ask!
If you’ve ever suffered because of the behaviour of a bad boss, this book will be of interest to you. You will learn how to deal with bosses who are bullies or who let you down. Is Your Boss Mad? helps you from the interview process, to identify what sort of boss you may be potentially letting yourself in for right from the start. The strategies suggested for coping with your mad boss are not hypothetical ‘airy’ ideas; they are hard boiled instructions for your communications, body language, and actions. It further suggests ways to bring a little levity to the workplace, without impacting on productivity or focus.
If I were a boss, I would want to read this too. There is already a recognised link between happy employees and happy customers, and it’s accepted that a happy customer is likely to be more valuable than an unhappy one. Do you have happy employees?
This is a book written with a passion born of experience. The author sincerely wishes to empower employees who can be, despite the plethora of management gurus and training courses, manipulated and who are seemingly powerless at the hands of their desperately inadequate managers.
The boss didn’t come with a user manual – till now!

The Little Book of Big Stuff About the Brain
The true story of your amazing brain
by Andrew Curran
Designed as a cover to cover read to leave the reader with a working knowledge of the human brain from its first evolution 2 billion years ago to the present day. This light-hearted look at the brain is aimed at a lay audience. It especially focuses on the neurobiology of emotional intelligence and in many ways is the neurobiological explanation of why emotional intelligence is so important to health, wealth and happiness.
The Little Book of Big Stuff About the Brain is about understanding the importance of emotional health. It is a book about structure and function – and the immensely reassuring fact that there is nothing occult or sinister or hidden about our emotional selves – there is just a whole pile of circuitry that can be adjusted and changed and remodelled. Emotional damage is repairable, painful memories can be unlearned, and debilitating conditions such as post traumatic stress disorder can be placed firmly in the past. There is nothing about ourselves that we can’t fundamentally change if we are prepared to do the work required. This means that no matter how deep the damage runs, there is still hope that it can (eventually) be unlearned.
The most important message in this book – emotions and our emotional brains - underpins most of what we are and how we express ourselves from how we brush our hair to how we solve complex social and intellectual questions.

More Magic of Metaphor
Stories for Leaders, Influencers and Motivators
By Nick Owen
In business, if your team were to share the same vision, direction, and values that you do, how much easier would it be to drive your business forward, and create powerful and favourable impressions on your clients? You and your entire team would be operating as one, moving with confidence and commitment towards a set of common goals.
In education, how much more satisfying would your teaching be – both for you and your students - if you were able to:
- explain ideas more easily, more memorably, and more powerfully?
- create an environment to which all your students wanted to contribute and belong?
- motivate your students with a desire for life long learning?
Our greatest teachers, artists, and leaders all use varieties of anecdote, story, parable, case history, and metaphor to put across their ‘message’ in powerful and highly memorable ways.
This follow up to Nick’s best-selling The Magic of Metaphor explores the power of story to inspire, inform, and transform people’s lives. With a particular emphasis on leadership in the very broadest sense of the word, the stories in this collection offer inspiration, inner knowledge, and wisdom. Stories and metaphors are incredibly powerful vehicles through which real change and compassion can be generated in the world, and can be used to influence, motivate, and lead others with elegance and integrity.

By Clare Walker
- Have you ever wanted to ‘be yourself’ with other people, but felt held back?
- Would you like to learn and practise all the tools that will help you communicate confidently and easily with others, on your own terms, and in your own style?
