Problems block and slow down your progress; here’s how to overcome them–simply, efficiently and effectively.

 

This book offers straightforward, empowering science-based solutions to problems, big and small, at work or in life. It takes a never before seen approach to problem solving, powerfully combining lessons from cognitive science, established problem-solving theory and vast practical experience. It includes a radical new approach to analysing problems: The Problem Matrix. This will transform your approach to problems, challenge your thinking and help you develop new, positive, solution-focussed mindsets for the long-term.

Alan Barker is the MD of Kairos Training Limited, a consultancy devoted to developing thinking and communication skills. He has been training and coaching for over 20 years, is a member of the UK Speechwriter’s Guild and is the published author of over 10 books.
