Ever wonder why your coaching doesn't get results?
Want to find your motivation for a job, a project or a hobby?
Feel frustrated that you or your team spend too much time barking up the wrong trees, failing to find a focus?
Learn to stack goals for powerful motivation and drive.
With their characteristic ability to simplify the complex, Mark Dando and Alison Rogers show you the importance of getting clear about your wants - resisting the compulsion to think too early about "how."
In short, straightforward chapters, you'll discover the language of goals. You'll explore how to use this language to develop each of the four primary goal types. And you'll find out how to stack two, three or four goal types together to produce irresistible clarity and direction in yourself or in others.
So, let's get stacking.
It's time to start barking up the right trees more often!
MARK DANDO and ALISON ROGERS are mentors, coaches and trainers.
They work with a small team of highly talented developers: Doug Richardson, Andrew Manuel, Luke Thomas and Julie Gibbons. Mark co-founded what became Coloured Square Limited with Doug Richardson in 2000. Alison became part of the team in 2007. The "structured common-sense" system of learning and development which the Coloured Square team offers continues to receive rave reviews from individuals and organisations who want help to improve their management, leadership, sales, influence, presenting - in short anything which requires more skill in communication. Because of the results their unique approach generates, many organisations seek out Coloured Square to help them change their approach to the business of learning and development itself - improving speed to competence and engagement.
This is Alison's first book.
Mark has been an author since 2013. This is his sixth personal development book. His first three were about attitudes to Time, attitudes to Presenting, and the attitudes and activities required to improve personal well-being and resilience. His fourth, Coach-Sell-Teach-Tell (TM) was a plea for managers and developers to increase the amount and effectiveness of development they provide their people. His fifth, Changing Gears, was an exploration of how to increase personal behavioural flexibility. He has published two children's books: The Boy Who Yawned, and The Boy Who Kidnapped Father Christmas.
Alison lives in Market Harborough with her husband and her four enormous dogs. Mark lives in Bristol with his wife and a very small dog.
