Book Description
THESE HABITS WILL MAKE YOU EXTRAORDINARY. Twenty years ago, author Brendon Burchard became obsessed with answering three questions: 1. Why do some individuals and teams succeed more quickly than others and sustain that success over the long term? 2. Of those who pull it off, why are some miserable and others consistently happy on their journey? 3. What motivates people to reach for higher levels of success in the first place, and what practices help them improve the most After extensive original research and a decade as the world’s leading high performance coach, Burchard found the answers. It turns out that just six deliberate habits give you the edge. Anyone can practice these habits and, when they do, extraordinary things happen in their lives, relationships, and careers. Which habits can help you achieve long-term success and vibrant well-being no matter your age, career, strengths, or personality? To become a high performer, you must seek clarity, generate energy, raise necessity, increase productivity, develop influence, and demonstrate courage. The art and science of how to do all this is what this book is about. Whether you want to get more done, lead others better, develop skill faster, or dramatically increase your sense of joy and confidence, the habits in this book will help you achieve it faster. Each of the six habits is illustrated by powerful vignettes, cutting-edge science, thought-provoking exercises, and real-world daily practices you can implement right now. If you’ve ever wanted a science-backed, heart-centered plan to living a better quality of life, it’s in your hands. Best of all, you can measure your progress. A link to a free professional assessment is included in the book.

Book Description
You’ve probably heard people sing the praises of mindfulness in all areas—health, work, relationships. But how does mindfulness apply to leadership? This book, from the experts at Pryor Learning, the prestigious management and leadership firm, shows you how to be a mindful leader. Above all else, that means leading people. Although most executives would say that their greatest asset is their people, they don’t always act that way. This concise but densely packed book shows leaders at all levels how to manage, foster, sustain, develop, and promote employees for optimal success. You’ll learn how to: Fine-tune your emotional intelligence, the single greatest key to success Perfect your listening skills Overcome poor work habits—your own and others’ Craft clear and convincing messages Manage the unspoken rules of business etiquette Read other people’s emotions and reactions Master the skills of negotiation Hire (and keep) top-level employees The Mindful Leader offers you much, much more. You’ll learn how to overcome procrastination in yourself and your employees; use memory tricks to remember names; employ the best time management techniques; eliminate distractions; recognize the most common gambits in negotiating; and consistently act with the end in mind. The tight labor market of recent years has led many executives to despair of finding the right people for their companies. The Mindful Leader takes you through a step-by-step process that shows you how to hire for the skills actually needed for the job (and for the future) rather than trusting in credentials. You’ll also learn how to discover, encourage, and manage high-performing employees—bringing out their best qualities and shepherding them from the mistakes in attitude and performance that are often found in superior individuals. Recent technological advances mean that many functions once performed by humans are now farmed out to computers and AI. This means that the human factor in the workplace will be even more important than ever. Interpersonal skills are fast becoming the most valuable and powerful abilities that everyone—especially leaders—can have. No leader at any organizational level can afford to overlook the invaluable practices—which are both time-tested and on the cutting edge—revealed in this book.

Book Description
The all-star advisor to athletes like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan shares his revolutionary mindfulness-based program for elevating athletic performance—featuring a foreword by legendary NBA coach Phil Jackson. “George helped me understand the art of mindfulness. To be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned just to be.” —Kobe Bryant Michael Jordan credits George Mumford with transforming his on-court leadership of the Bulls, helping Jordan lead the team to six NBA championships. Mumford also helped Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom and countless other NBA players turn around their games. A widely respected public speaker and coach, Mumford is sharing his own story and the strategies that have made these athletes into stars in The Mindful Athlete: The Secret to Pure Performance. His proven, gentle but groundbreaking mindfulness techniques can transform the performance of anyone with a goal, be they an Olympian, weekend warrior, executive, hacker, or artist. When Michael Jordan left the Chicago Bulls to play baseball in 1993, the team was in crisis. Coach Phil Jackson, a long-time mindfulness practitioner, contacted Dr. Kabat-Zinn to find someone who could teach mindfulness techniques to the struggling team—someone who would have credibility and could speak the language of his players. Kabat-Zinn led Jackson to Mumford and their partnership began. Mumford has worked with Jackson and each of the eleven teams he coached to become NBA champions. His roster of champion clients has since blossomed way beyond basketball to include corporate executives, Olympians, and athletes in many different sports. With a charismatic teaching style that combines techniques of engaged mindfulness with lessons from popular culture icons such as Yoda, Indiana Jones, and Bruce Lee, Mumford tells illuminating stories about his larger-than-life clients. His writing is down-to-earth and easy to understand and apply. The Mindful Athlete is an engrossing story and an invaluable resource for anyone looking to elevate their game, no matter what the pursuit, and includes a foreword by Phil Jackson.
