Description
Description
We are all teachers. If you've ever walked a colleague through a new program, you're a teacher. If you've ever coached anyone on how to kick a football, you're a teacher. If you've ever been a parent... enough said. The problem, however, is that very few of us have ever been taught how to teach!
Drawing on Jared Cooney Horvath's 15 years of experience conducting brain research at prominent universities, teaching students from 10 to 80 years of age, and working with organisations and schools across 4 continents, Stop Talking, Start Influencing outlines 12 scientific principles of how people learn. The result is a book that shows readers how to impart their knowledge to others in a manner that truly influences them. From the challenges of learning through a PowerPoint presentation to the debilitating 'error alarm' that can kick in when students make a mistake, the common barriers to learning are explained and tackled. Nearly every day we work to disseminate wisdom to others, so why not ensure that wisdom is retained?
For every business leader sick of repeating themselves ad nauseam to colleagues and clients, for every coach tired of endlessly drilling athletes without seeing meaningful improvement, for every entrepreneur who's had enough of pouring their heart into presentations only to see no lasting impact among the audience... it's time to stop talking and start influencing!

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Talking, Start Influencing" is a very stimulating new book ... providing
fascinating insights from brain science to help leaders, teachers, coaches and
just about anyone communicate better and enjoy life more. ... His chapter on
Stress alone was the best explanation I have ever read about how stress impacts
our brains both negatively and positively. Every chapter has "implications"
about how you can use this information in your work and life."

"Thisis a book that I'll come back to again and again for the science, explanations
and practical tips. But I might also come back to it and read it again just
because I enjoyed reading it. And that was unexpected."
- TES
"During the introduction, Jared CooneyHorvath promises foundations explored in this book are supported by scientific
research, and everything will make perfect sense by the time you reach the end.
Both these promises were fulfilled, and I feel I am now better equipped to make
a lasting impact on my audiences. I highly recommend Stop Talking Start
Influencing to leaders, educators and professional speakers." - Unity Words
