“You have to get in front of what you’re writing. You have to look at it and you have to type a key. If you don’t, it’s just not going to happen.” Errol Doebler knows a thing or two about discipline. He’s been a Naval Surface Warfare officer, Navy SEAL officer, FBI special agent and SWAT operator before founding his leadership consulting firm Ice Cold Leader, which is also the name of his new book. Why ice cold? Because ice baths form a key part of his own self-regulation regime, and because managing emotional responses is so foundational to effective leadership. Errol had to develop a conscious process for emotional regulation after a traumatic injury robbed him of that area of his brain; that process turns out to be valuable for anyone facing the stress and emotional discomfort that accompany leadership. Prepare to be challenged and inspired in roughly equal measure by this week's extraordinary @extrabizbooks conversation. extraordinarybusinessbooks.c… #podcast #leadership #businessbooks #writing

‘It’s an uncomfortable struggle to... land that sharp, sticky center of the life brief, but it is so worth it.’ Thanks @BonnieWan for a fabulously insightful and honest conversation on #writing, #branding, #books and, well life. extraordinarybusinessbooks.c…

“Unless you have a way to differentiate, then you don’t really have any sort of justification for putting out yet another book.” There’s not much Josh Bernoff doesn’t know about writing business books. And he knows that differentiation is everything. Whether it’s your unique perspective or a groundbreaking solution, finding your distinctive edge makes all the difference. He also encourages authors to think of their book as a pivotal part of a larger ecosystem – and to create a sense of immediacy right up front to capture engagement. This week's @extrabizbooks conversation is a treasure trove of actionable advice and profound insights, a must-listen for anyone aspiring to write a business book that makes a difference. extraordinarybusinessbooks.c… #writing #podcast #publishing #storytelling #authortips

Oh I LOVE this most recent Amazon review of #ExploratoryWriting: 'I was struggling to get off to sleep recently. I was worried about a situation with one of my clients and my head was just getting fuller and fuller of how "disastrous" the situation was and how I had really messed up. I gave up trying to sleep and instead got up, asked myself how I could proceed with this particular issue, and set the timer for 6 minutes. A page and a half of notes came out of my head, which I then left on my desk without reading them, and headed back to bed where I dropped off to sleep straight away!' As an author, you just can't ask any more than that of your book. Thank you Kaye King, whoever you are, for properly making my day. #bookreview #writing #wellbeing #bettersleep amazon.co.uk/Exploratory-Wri…
