Audiobooks narrated by Jules Brooke

Believe in Yourself shares Anne’s life journey; the struggle of overcoming challenges from being unhappy to finding fulfilment and vitality. Relationship experiences that led her to seek counselling and resolving to put herself first have given her real insight. A heartfelt epiphany about her mum was very powerful and confronting, yet freeing in offering true wisdom and solutions. Her limiting childhood beliefs had suppressed her voice. In sharing her fears about failure, fear of success and fear of shame, and highlighting the range of physical and psychological feelings associated with inertia and procrastination that were preventing her from moving forward, Anne illustrates how she found acceptance in the most difficult of situations. Digging deep and using various tools, she courageously faced the situations, embraced the lessons, and continues to enjoy the successes obtained. This is a wonderfully encouraging story where nature soothes her soul and allows her intuition to be heard. Anne shares her journey with simple honesty and gives genuine encouragement to those who may be facing similar challenges. The final story about the breathtaking scenery of Anne’s trip to the Antarctic is filled with appreciation and gratitude for so many gifts, including spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Full of useful tools and practical exercises at the end of each chapter, the Action Aces summaries provide brilliant methods to apply! Consistency is key when you take that first step; choose you, and Believe in Yourself.

People Stuff - beyond personality problems - an advanced handbook for leadership

Do people drive you nuts? Are silos and turf wars challenging the culture? Wondering if it ever gets any easier? The toughest - and best - part of leadership is the people. But let’s face it, people dynamics can be tricky. Solutions are within. People Stuff is your map to the complex territory of human behaviour and leadership strategies. People Stuff goes well beyond frustrating ‘personality clashes’ to uncover the dynamics of human interactions at work. You’ll clarify how you see yourself, your people and your organisation to avoid ineffective superficial solutions to complex problems. Perspective is power. In order to create positive and lasting change, we need to dive below the surface and see the patterns and systems that are creating the issues in the first place. People Stuff offers intuitive maps and frameworks to develop your practice of perspective. You’ll be able to see more and lead better. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at don’t change, WE do. How we see ourselves affects how effective we are as leaders. By using a combination of the five key leadership archetypes - the Elder, Pioneer, Guardian, Warrior, and Diplomat - you’ll be able to meet the current business challenges with the right approach for maximum influence. Personalities aren’t the problem, systems are. When the Four Devils appear in the workplace, it’s tempting to give up on them as character flaws. With the Four Devils map, you’ll be able to pinpoint the symptoms and causes of the toughest people challenges, and implement effective long-term solutions. If you’re a leader who’s called to make an impact, then People Stuff will give you the perspective tools to see issues before they escalate. You’ll also be able to anticipate positive ripples so you can truly lead with compassion and wisdom.
