Book Description
Much work-based training is a waste of time and money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready to learn nor practically inclined to apply their learning to the way they behave. Power Up Your Mind offers a new model of learning – READY, GO, STEADY – which will revolutionize the way you learn and perform. Lucas shows that by concentrating on what happens before and after you learn you can use your brain to best effect, learning faster and working smarter.

Drawing on research from a variety of subject areas the book shows how everyone has the capacity to succeed and how most people use only a very small portion of their talents.

For learning to be effective, an understanding of how the brain works is essential and unlike much recent thinking on the mind, Lucas connects an understanding of the brain with the reality of the workplace and translates what we know about the brain into useful insights for work.

In today’s fast moving world, learning has become the key to competitive advantage. Power Up Your Mind will revolutionize our understanding of how our brains are pre-wired to learn and the practical steps we can take to prepare ourselves to participate in the learning process.

Advance Praise

A really useful compendium of practical questions and tips for stimulating reflection about your own learning.
