A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Born in Rotherham, Yorkshire towards the end of the Second World War, Nigel Cutts was educated at Scarborough High School for Boys, Leeds College of Art and Kingston College of Art. His career in the design world spanned more than forty years. His first job was as an assistant to Don Ashton, the hotel and film designer of the Fifties and Sixties who designed the original Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong and won an Oscar for Bridge Over The River Kwai . At his second firm he was made their youngest ever Associate. During the late Seventies and through the whole of the Eighties he ran his own substantial design business and latterly set up the UK office of an international firm of architects, ending up as an International Director before retiring from main stream business in early 2009. Nigel is someone who has always believed that to be the best you need to be with the best even in his childhood days, when he learned to water ski with the Cambridge University Water Ski Club. From this he became a founder member of his local club where he was chief instructor and club champion for several years, teaching people like Dickie Henderson and Nicholas Parsons. Slightly later he took the same view of competing in ballroom dancing and was taught by, amongst others, Harry Smith-Hampshire and Doreen Casey, the then current World Champions. In adulthood he became interested in, if not obsessed by, Obedience Dog Training for over 25 years, again seeking out the best instructors. Whilst in the sport he subsequently trained his own Obedience Champion, bred another and competed at Crufts no less than four times. He was also a Championship judge and coached and taught across the UK and Northern Europe. It s not surprising then, that when it came to his personal growth and development he took a similarly powerful approach, immersing himself in the work of Walter and Gita Bellin at The Bellin Partnership as well as in the work of people like Denise Lynn, John Bradshaw, Bill Spear and Tony Robbins. He is also a qualified Conflict Resolution trainer as well as a coach and consultant with Nancy Kline s Time to Think organisation. The natural progression of his life has been towards a combination of excellence and people. He now brings all this knowledge and experience together and runs, with his wife Gilly, Cutts & Cons, a consultancy specialising in coaching, counselling and mentoring business leaders specifically in the area of improving the quality and independence of their thinking and giving that full expression. He lives in Surrey with his wife Gilly and between them they have seven children and nine grandchildren.

Revue de presse

Nigel knows from creating his own organisations, whose cultures under his leadership were exactly love, that it is the key thing in unleashing talent and building success. He shares with us his understanding of the teachings of many people over many eras. He brings together an important and impressive panoply of wisdom as well as his own. But what makes the book work well, besides that he writes so well, is that he is what he is writing. We can feel that as we read. We can trust him. And so we read on. And our lives and leadership and places of work can change. They can become places of love, the kind that works. Love. This book says, let s say it . And maybe even, let s shout it . And let s whisper it . Let s let it into our hearts and into the most laserprecise reasoning we can muster. Because if we do, perhaps work will really work. At last! --Nancy Kline President and Founder. Time To Think Inc.
