One of the biggest challenges facing organisations we work with is change: how do we
get people really enthusiastic, passionate, and engaged with the changes we need to make? How can we empower them to own it, and drive it forwards?
There is a huge myth that change - both personal, and organisational - is hard. It really isn't, and doesn't need to be... we have three interesting articles looking at the psychology and 'magic' behind change within organisations, and methods you can use to make it work in your business. Magic formula for effective change (part 1) Magic formula for effective change (part 2)
The Psychology That Makes Change Work by Maria Paviour "As usual these days, organisations are trying to follow the trends being set by 'ordinary people' who just happen to know how to connect using technology.

"It took us 4 billion years to evolve to where we are now - completely brilliant and yet, some might say, emotionally dwarfed. The question is: can our more empathetic side catch up in time to save us and the world? I've got nothing against smarts, but it's smarts without emotional awareness that got us into this position of being able to nuke each other into
oblivion." With a little help from a monk (who tells us how our mind works) and a neuroscientist (who tells us how our brain works), Ruby Wax answers every question you've ever had about: evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, sex, kids, the future and compassion.
Filled with witty anecdotes from Ruby's own life, and backed up by smart science and practical mindfulness exercises, How to be Human is
the only manual you need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iphone.
