Patel L: From Ordinary to Extraordinary

From Ordinary to Extraordinary

Becoming a Corporate Athlete

Mentoring is usually a relationship between two successful, busy people - and that's exactly the challenge.

If you've been asked to mentor, it's almost certainly because you're good at what you do and you genuinely care about helping others grow. Your time is already accounted for, several times over.
If you're coming to this as a mentee, you're probably at one of those moments where everything is about to accelerate - a bigger role, a steeper learning curve, more riding on every decision. You're not short of things to do either.
This is a book for both of you. For mentoring partners who want to make the most of the time they spend together and get a real return on that investment - for themselves and for their businesses.

However, most mentoring relationships are conducted over a series of just a few very precious hours and our research revealted that not many people had received format mentoring training - neither mentors, nor their partners.

So how can you learn to make the very most of that precious time?

Here's our solution. A practical workbook for busy people.

No need to work through these activities start to finish. Just one or two of these science-backed, experience-based, thinking boosts will ensure your time together delivers more in less time.

A partner workbook to Mentoring: It's Not Bloody Rocket Science, the latest book from coaching and training expert and author Dulcie Swanston.

Mentoring Journal: Life and Leadership Hacks via Neuroscience, Psychology and Common Sense

It's Not Bloody Rocket Science

Don't fail at leadership because no one told you the rules had changed.
You built a career on being the best individual contributor in the room. Then one day you are handed a team, and the very skills that got you promoted stop working. Mindset Towards Mastery exists for that exact moment: the career transition to leadership that almost no one prepares you for.

Author Andrew Finlayson has spent more than 35 years working across technology, media, retail, financial services, and public service, taking on leadership roles in health and life sciences along the way. His keynote talks have taken him from Hong Kong and Singapore to Turkey and the United States.

Inside, you will learn how to:
Turn ordinary workplace moments into deliberate growth. Proven ways to treat the coffee queue, the corridor conversation and the Tuesday stand-up as raw material for development.
Earn trust from people who used to be your peers. Acknowledge that the relationship has changed, rather than performing a sameness that no longer exists.
Recognise disengagement before it becomes attrition. Learn the early signals, so you can act while there is still something to retain.
Lead with authority you have not yet grown into. Hold the line without overcompensating, and let credibility mature at its own pace.
Keep a companion built to be revisited. Leadership changes faster than any single read can anticipate, so this book is designed to be opened again as your challenges evolve.


Pick up your copy today and start mastering leadership.
It guides new managers and ambitious professionals, drawing on real stories and psychological insight into the people you now lead. The junior hire still finding her footing. The colleague who used to be your peer. The team member quietly disengaged and waiting to be noticed. Leadership means meeting all of them differently, and it starts with a shift in your own mindset before it changes theirs.229 questions that expose how you really think, so you can change how you lead.
Across fourteen chapters, this leadership mindset guide explores focus, loyalty, self-worth, and the moments that decide whether someone grows into a leader or stalls as a contributor. Each chapter pairs real workplace stories with reflections that turn insight into habit, sharpening the emotional intelligence that separates a manager from a leader.Leadership that looks like every workplace, not just the office.
The people in these pages are not confined to boardrooms. Claire rebuilds trust on a struggling factory line. Anjali leads a patient roundtable in an overwhelmed ward. Gabriella finds her feet in her first days in uniform. Zach steps up on an ambulance shift. Ashley holds a team together under a circus tent. Elsewhere, Lucy leads a rural construction crew, Rob runs a remote farm shed alone, and Tamsin keeps a design studio moving when it never stops. Over fifty named figures move through fourteen chapters, and the office is a minority among them. Whatever floor you lead on, someone in this book has stood there before you.Begin the journey of becoming, and lead the team your people are waiting for.

Responsibility, Performance, and the Work of Becoming

Mindset Towards Mastery

THIS IS A PAPERBACK EDITION FOR THE EXPORT MARKET. From the bestselling author of Rejection Proof, a guide to achieving your goals—the easy way—for anyone who struggles with distractions, disorganization, and discipline. Most people think that because great achievements are difficult, they must also feel difficult. But great accomplishments are rarely achieved through mental toughness. Rather, the most successful people find ways to make hard actions repeatable and enjoyable. Drawing on stories from his own battles with ADHD and procrastination, as well as twelve epic stories from history and pop culture, bestselling author Jia Jiang outlines the four principles of Easy Discipline—Enjoyment, Artistry, Systems, and Yourself—so you can take hard actions on a consistent basis, and love your work in the process. Each principle offers a mindset of Easy Discipline, as well as powerful, practical tools to turn mindset into action. You’ll learn: -How to harness the power of the One Action Goal system—and why it’s the only system you’ll ever need -Why “Changing the Game” can turn dreaded tasks into energizing pursuits -How to curate your media consumption to educate and inspire you toward your goal, the way developers fine-tune AI machines -How to create an “Inspiration Index” that concretely ties your efforts (inputs) to measurable outputs -Why “Repetition with Variation” is the key to success A love letter to ambitious people everywhere who are disorganized, undisciplined, and distracted, Easy Discipline will give you the mindsets and tools to turn flaws into assets, obstacles into stepstones, and dreams into realities. Work can be fun. Focus can be automatic. And success can be easy.

From the bestselling author of Do Hard Things and Win the Inside Game comes a guide to showing up in the moments that demand your best and shape who you become. We’ve all been there. The nerves, pressure, doubts, and that voice in our head screaming “what if I’m not good enough?” Once we enter the arena, everything changes, and none of us are immune. Even an Olympic champion muttered on the starting line, "What the hell am I doing here?" Yet, we fundamentally misunderstand pressure and how to rise to the occasion. It’s time to redefine what it means to step up and compete. We’ve been sold a one-dimensional picture of the competitor: fearless, ruthless, dominant, the alpha dog. But fear and doubt aren’t a sign of weakness. They’re the price of admission. Drawing on new science and an original survey of over 2,000 high performers across sport, business, and the arts, Magness shows us that the best aren't defined by fearlessness or fire. They're defined by range: the ability to summon the right state at the right moment. They’re able to be fierce without becoming reckless, focused without becoming rigid, and driven without losing the people beside them. Step Into the Arena is about more than just performing. The arena isn’t just a stadium or a stage. It’s the blank page, the difficult conversation, and every moment when we care deeply, the outcome is uncertain, and failure stings. In a world of curated feeds and sideline critics, the arena is one of the last places of unfiltered truth. It’s where we stop hiding, risk failure for something worthy, and find out what we're made of. It asks something larger of us: What are we striving for? How will we strive? And who will we become in the process? For everyone who has ever known exactly what they were capable of, and watched the moment take it away, it's time to take it back. Step into the arena. It's where you'll find out who you are.

How to Master Pressure, Quiet Your Doubts, and Show Up When It Matters Most

Step into the Arena

Healthcare construction is unlike any other kind of building.Hospitals don't shut down for renovations. Patients are still being treated. Surgeries are still being performed.

Unlocking Peak Performance: The Science of Flow States dismantles the myth that high performance is rare, unpredictable, or reserved for the gifted few. Drawing on neuroscience, cognitive science, and systems thinking, this book reveals that flow - the state of effortless, focused execution - is not a random phenomenon but an engineered condition.

Across 20 chapters, readers learn how to align the five core variables of flow: clarity of objective, challenge calibration, immediate feedback, protected attention, and intentional environmental design. Each section breaks down a component of performance - from attention and mental load to energy management and recovery - and shows how to structure, measure, and improve it systematically.

This is not a book about motivation or mindset. It is a practical architecture for consistent peak performance - one that transforms flow from an occasional peak experience into a reliable baseline state.

HBR's 10 Must Reads

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Women and Leadership, Updated and Expanded (featuring "Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome" by Ruchika T. Malhotra and Jodi-Ann Burey)

With contributing authors Juliett Cattermole, Raveena Dhahwal, Paul Gandy, Emma Gibbens, Mel Lawn and Tadiwanashe Taimu

Mentoring is usually a relationship between two successful, busy people - and that's exactly the challenge.

If you've been asked to mentor, it's almost certainly because you're good at what you do and you genuinely care about helping others grow. Your time is already accounted for, several times over.
If you're coming to this as a mentee, you're probably at one of those moments where everything is about to accelerate - a bigger role, a steeper learning curve, more riding on every decision. You're not short of things to do either.
This is a book for both of you. For mentoring partners who want to make the most of the time they spend together and get a real return on that investment - for themselves and for their businesses.
To write it, we brought together a diverse group of people who have been on both sides of the relationship - across three continents and six industries. Some mentored brilliantly. Others looked back and realised, in their own words, that they'd got it wrong despite the best intentions. We've all been there.
Between us, we cover the science, the theory, and what we've learnt from experience - so you can learn from us, and with us, without wasting a minute.
Here's to every mentoring conversation from here being a little sharper, a little more honest, and genuinely worth your time.

About The Author:

Ali Rakhimov is a self-proclaimed "blue-collar product manager" who has spent more than a decade in tech, focusing on practical solutions that make a genuine impact on people's daily lives. After wrangling everything from payments and hardware to SaaS and eCommerce, he discovered that silly questions and deep empathy can move mountains-or at least Make Pigs Fly. As a bootstrapped founder with several exits and a product leader and coach, he believes anyone-regardless of pedigree-can build great products by staying curious and learning from others' mistakes. That philosophy led him to write "Make Pigs Fly" so readers can skip the painful lessons and focus on what works, while polishing their communication prowess.

From the Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, a data-powered guide to human potential, revealing that recovery is the hidden driver of peak performance. We often equate peak performance with relentless effort-early mornings, intense workouts, and unwavering discipline. But what if the true catalyst for excellence lies not in exertion, but in restoration? Pulling from one of the world's largest physiological datasets and more than two decades of experience operating in high-stakes, high-stress environments, Holmes makes a compelling case: your downtime is your competitive advantage. Dr. Kristen Holmes, psychophysiologist and Global Head of Human Performance at WHOOP, challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that recovery is not a luxury-it's a necessity. She demonstrates that aligning with our body's natural rhythms is the key to unlocking sustained vitality and presence, and bridges the gap between cutting-edge science and practical application. You'll discover how to:<ul><li>Align with your biological rhythms: Learn how circadian alignment affects hormonal health, cognitive function, sleep quality, and emotional well-being, and how to synchronize your daily routines and live with more joy and energy.</li><li>Decode the science of recovery: Understand why recovery isn't a luxury but a necessity, and how metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and sleep consistency are critical indicators of resilience and readiness.</li><li>Translate data into action: Transform complex biometric data into daily rituals that reinforce your desired identity and support continuous growth.</li><li>Shape your emotional resilience: Explore Dr. Holmes's innovative frameworks-HEAL (Heart, Energy, Autonomy, Love), TEAM (Time, Expectations, Attachments, Memory), and PEAC (Purpose, Efficacy, Autonomy, Connection)-each offering a unique lens to understand and shape your internal narratives and overall well-being.</li></ul>Whether you're an elite athlete, a corporate leader, or someone seeking deeper meaning in your life, Aligned serves as a field guide to living at full capacity, in tune with both body and mind.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Emma is an inspiring force, a modern day business mogul and visionary…[This book] should be your guide if you are starting a business, thinking about starting a business, already in a business, want to make a better business for yourself and want to be a better person in that business, I highly recommend Start With Yourself…It’s a good reminder that a well-lived life starts with you.” —Oprah Winfrey, The Oprah Podcast “Emma Grede is a modern executive for the influencer age…Start With Yourself makes the case for putting yourself first in work, life, and child-rearing. It’s Lean In for the post-girlboss era.” —The Wall Street Journal As seen on Good Morning America, TODAY, Morning Joe, ABC News Live, and Meet the Press. Start With Yourself is a game-changing, no-BS guide for anyone seeking meaningful success on their own terms. It’s an essential framework that will give you the tools and mindset to unlock your full potential in life and business—straight from a woman who defied all the odds to become a serial entrepreneur, a cofounder of culture-defining global businesses, a nonprofit champion, and the host of the Aspire with Emma Grede podcast. All while raising a family of four children. Based on the factors of her early life—she’s the child of a working-class single mother and grew up in a rough neighborhood in East London and dropped out of high school—you’d never guess that Emma Grede would go on to become one of America’s richest self-made women. This makes Grede unique, but she’s convinced you can do it, too: Start With Yourself is a blueprint to her mindset and how she thinks about business and life, structured in easy takeaways, so you can immediately apply her philosophy to what you’re trying to build and create. Among her most blazing insights, Grede identifies what she calls “Old Thoughts”: stale thinking, outdated ideas; set-in-stone rules ingrained into the culture about work-life balance, the crassness of money, and the unseemliness of ambition—that aren’t actually rules at all. They’re biases, Grede insists, system errors, and we must strike them from our minds so that we can gain a greater sense of control, even mastery, over our day-to-day and long-range goals. Ultimately, this is a book for everyone tired of feeling like a bystander or passenger in their own life. Grede offers tangible and applicable-right-now solutions to create a mindset, an overall system of thought to manage emotions, clarify ideas, and illuminate the right next step—while always staying positive. It’s about gathering yourself after failure. It’s about being accountable but also forgiving yourself. It’s about not expecting shortcuts while never being bashful about grabbing them when they appear. It’s about pushing hard for wins and never apologizing for your dreams. Above all, Grede offers a new vision for work and life that encourages readers everywhere to take responsibility for their own thinking in order to achieve personal and professional success at the highest levels.
