'I wish this book had been available when I was leading operational CEO roles during my career, as I knew many logical and task-oriented individuals that would have greatly benefited from its wisdom. Anne explains soft skills in simple terms with very practical advice and tools to change their behaviour and have better results. Full of tips, challenges, client stories and personal anecdotes, the book provides practical ideas to get better results through better engagement with others. The higher you go in an organization, the more important people skills become, and this book is a good primer for improving your proficiency and satisfaction around working with others. An easy read, simply explained and direct, with lots of practical tips and tools to become a more collaborative leader for greater impact. A great starter to help any manager understand their impact, intentionally create better relationships and be more effective in their job to deliver the results. I strongly recommend it. - Nandu (Doreswamy) Nandkishore, Former Global CEO Nestle Nutrition & EVP (CEO) of Asia/Oceania/Africa for Nestle S.A. 'Now a Keynote speaker/VC/consultant/B-school Prof, Anne has truly upped the game in the people development world. She has brilliantly brought together many dimensions of the soft skill tool bag and made them easy to understand and applicable to our daily lives. And dare I say this is so needed in our fast paced get ahead at all cost world. Thank you, Anne! If you want people in your world to feel deeply valued and supported ... this is a must read!' - Rick Tamlyn, Hay House Author - Play Your Bigger Game, and Co-Active Training Institute Senior Faculty Member 'Soft Skills Hard Results is an easy to understand and comprehensive book, loaded with practical tips and techniques that the reader can immediately apply and benefit from. It saves leaders - who want to improve their self-awareness and/or relationship skills - from reading 10+ different books and having to decode their terminology. Anne has compiled 360 degrees of information - from neuroscience to emotional intelligence to coaching - and enriched it with sound personal experience coming from both her private life and a successful career. I would definitely recommend this book to all leaders who want to be in a journey to a better self, whilst getting great business results!' - Nilgu n Kuruoez, Professional Coach and Consultant, Nilsight 'This book on leadership based on the narration of Anne's life story is told in a simple yet gripping and powerful way and relates to our everyday lives - both professional and private. Having worked with Anne over the years I can attest to the effectiveness and efficiency of her methods and approach. She ensures that both aspects of leading with your head and heart are fully explored. If you truly wish to make a lasting positive impact and change on people's lives (and your own) - this is a must-read book which is hands on and truly a practical guide to understanding and using people skills for hard results .' - Washington Munetsi, HR Director Operations Nestle

Absolutely fantastic book for analytical leaders who are technically excellent, but who struggle with the essential so-called 'soft skills' aka emotional intelligence. So clear, well thought out and set out, and with no flimmy flam! I have already highlighted tons of stuff in here to share with clients and am armed with copies for two of my major corporate clients. A gem. Buy it. * amazon.co.uk * Loved this book! Easy to read, full of practical advice and resources for maximizing your potential as a leader and your team's potential. Buzzing with ideas on how I'll implement them! * amazon.co.uk * The author breaks the requisite skills into really manageable sections and lays out the basic skills that we all take for granted..but don't necessarily see in ourselves. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a better leader, or simply a better human. * amazon.co.uk * I love Anne's almost in your face logical practical look at this potentially fluffy topic. This is the first coaching book I've come across that I would be happy to recommend to my more cynical friends and family. I hope it will change how they think about the work I do, as well as improving the lives of those around them. Thank you Anne Taylor, for approaching this topic from the hard-nosed business point of view. I hope it reaches the parts other books have failed to reach. * amazon.co.uk * Good book on emotional intelligence. It proves that people leave and managers and not bad companies. This is one of the key and well known findings. How can managers who are very good at business become emotionally empowered leaders? The question sounds easier than the answer. Some good advice can be found in this book. * NetGalley *
