If you are thinking you could do with a Coach but can’t right now, this is the book for you. Dr Grace Lordan is an Irish Behavioural Scientist based in the London School of Economics. She breaks down goal setting into simple steps and chapters, and really unusually, she backs it up with behavioural scinece. Its divided into clear chapters that outline the science, backs it up with steps and summarises each chapter. Its a book you could revert to time an again as you work on new goals.

Sharon reckons someone could easily use this book to self-coach themselves to a new goal. Highly enjoyable!

Details Below!

What are you doing today to make your dream future come true? We all have big ambitions for the future but those dreams only become reality if we do something towards them regularly. To achieve audacious goals, we need to take action and make small changes every day. We need to think big and act small. Drawing on cutting-edge research from behavioural science, Grace Lordan offers immediate actionable solutions and tips that will help you get closer to your dream future, every day. Focusing on six key areas – your time, goal planning, self-narratives, other people, your environment, and resilience – Lordan reveals practical, science-backed hacks that will help you get ahead.

Whether you fantasise about changing industry, landing that big promotion, writing a screenplay or setting up your own company, Think Big creates a clear pathway to the future you want now. Some of the things you’ll learn include how to:

· Overcome a fear of failure and throw yourself at opportunity
· Craft the optimum environment for work and give yourself ample time for tasks
· Rewrite self-narratives and tackle imposter syndrome
· Watch out for other people’s biases and stop them from holding you back

Think Big provides a practical framework to keep you moving in the right direction towards any goal. It will help you get out of your own way and propel you on the path to success, transforming you from dreamer to doer!
