Creative Thinking Skills for Work and Business Success
Learning how to use your mind skilfully and creatively is essential if you want to become more in control of your working life. In this brilliant new book, Richard Nelson-Jones applies his immense experience and knowledge of counselling psychology to the workplace. He argues that creative thinking is the key to work and business success and that you can increase your confidence and effectiveness by learning to create skilful rather than unskilful thoughts.
Whereas most management psychology books focus on how you can manage others, 'Using Your Mind' focuses on how you can manage yourself - a priority often overlooked in management training and the workplace. The author draws upon his renowned lifeskills counselling approach and practical experience in counselling business executives in order to empower you to make skilful thinking choices or work. Thinking skills covered in this book include: owning responsibility, using self-talk, choosing realistic rules, perceiving accurately, explaining cause, predicting, setting goals, visualising, making decisions and preventing and managing problems. The book concludes with an innovative guide to maintaining your thinking skills long after you have learned them.
'Using Your Mind' is an extremely practical "how-to" book which contains over 50 exercises to help you build and apply your skills. Each of the chapters is carefully structured to maximise clarity. Whatever stage of your career you have reached, this book is packed with invaluable advice, case examples, tools and techniques to make you more relaxed, confident and effective at work.
