Reviews
"Mix timeless wisdom with modern neuroscience and you get Engaged, a terrific new book from Amy Brann. Upon immersing yourself in this evidence-based approach, you'll see and understand organizational behavior in an entirely new light and you'll be well equipped to elevate your people, your team and your bottom line. Both insightful and practical, this is a very relevant book!'
-Stephen M. R. Covey, author of The New York Times and # 1 Wall Street Journal bestselling book, The Speed of Trust, and coauthor of Smart Trust
'Engaged takes contemporary neuroscience theory and applies insights that will equip organizations to be both productive and fulfilling places work. Engaged brains can make all the difference."
-Professor John Parkinson, Head of School of Psychology Bangor University
'Engaged tackles with ease some of the most uncomfortably complex topics facing many modern organizations and business leaders. Drawing on a wealth of experience frompeople in the know, this book weaves a story using neuroscience as the thread, systematically demystifying difficult concepts. What I love about it is that you can take exactly what you need from it whether it is something for the here and now from the 'What Can I do Today' feature, or a more detailed insight for example into the role of neurotransmitters in healthy brain function. Engaged is an invaluable companion for business champions of change.'
-Paul Carter, Behavioural Neuropsychologist
'Amy & Synaptic Potential have some really interesting ideas and approaches to organisational culture and engagement - I look forward to watching them develop even further with practical implementation.'
-Cathy Brown, Exec Director, Engage for Success
'Engaged is as inspiring as it is insightful. It's a fact that an organization's culture and strategy dictate business success and it is always the people within organisations that determine the level of that success. Engaged is one of those great books that brings all of that together in such a meaningful way. The book is underpinned with science and practical examples, which can be applied in your organisation right now. It's time to change the game and bring more meaning back to the workplace. You can start that process today by applying the insights from this fantastic book!'
-Ben Whitter, Organisation and People Development Manager, The University of Nottingham Ningbo China
