I am a husband, father and software guy in Austin, TX. I have 3 wonderful boys. With my oldest going off to college, I felt it was important for me to share with them a collection of the things that I believe are important. Things that I hope will enrich their lives – just as they do my own. This is my gift to them…

Hello,
Touching base on “YOUR BRAIN AT WORK: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, & Working Smarter All Day Long” (Harper Collins) by David Rock. I hope you might be interested in speaking with David on how people can perform better and work smarter by easily understanding how their brains work at work.
David can offer quick and direct points on why understanding how our brains function in the work environment can help us to be more effective…and other topics such as:
How to deal with emails, meetings, scheduled and just too much information to juggle effectively.
Why it’s so hard to focus on the job and how to better manage distractions.
How to collaborate more effectively with others.
How to be more effective at changing other’s behavior….and more.
You can see more here: http://www.your-brain-at-work.com/index.shtml and below. David is available for interviews this month from New York. Thanks for your consideration and hope to hear from you soon.
All best,
Lauren

YOUR BRAIN AT WORK: Strategies for Overcoming Distraction, Regaining Focus, & Working Smarter All Day Long by David Rock
An avalanche of emails…an overload of information…a meeting schedule that leaves you exhausted…ever more change and uncertainty. Just an average day in the workplace for millions of people. But there are ways to overcome the daily pressures in our lives.
David Rock, founder and CEO of Results Coaching Systems and a pioneer in the field of NeuroLeadership http://www.neuroleadership.org/ believes that the keys to working smarter, getting organized, and staying cool lie in understanding your brain.
In this groundbreaking new book, Rock details a wealth of recent and important insights about the brain to help readers improve their performance in both their personal and professional lives—and still feel energized and accomplished at the end of the day.
Based on interviews with 30 neuroscientists and research compiled over four years, YOUR BRAIN AT WORK is the engaging story of two people, Emily and Paul. The parents of two young children, Emily is the newly promoted executive at a large corporation while Paul runs his own consulting business. Rock takes readers through their work day, which, like most others, is a bewildering blizzard of emails, phone calls, meetings, projects, proposals, and plans. Just staying ahead of the storm has become a seemingly insurmountable task. Along the way, Rock explains exactly what’s happening in their brains that makes work so hard, revealing not only why things go wrong, but how anyone can be more effective by understanding the specifics of how their brain functions in a wide range of situations.
As Rock attests it’s only through knowing your brain that you can begin to change it. YOUR BRAIN AT WORK is an essential guide to not only surviving in today’s overwhelming work environment but succeeding in it. David is the CEO of Results Coaching Systems, working globally with Fortune 500 clients to develop leaders, improve performance and change culture. He is a guest lecturer at Oxford University, on the advisory board of the International Business School CIMBA, on the board of The BlueSchool, and the author of three other books.
