Books to help you get better in 2020

It is the time of year when you might begin to reflect on what you have achieved over the last 12 months. 

 

What has gone well. And less well. 

 

How you might like to improve how you do things in 2020. 

 

I advocate to all my clients the benefit of having a Pre-Performance Plan. Quite simply this is a way to ready yourself so you do the very best you can. 

 

A Pre-Performance Plan is personal to you. It deals with your barriers to good performance and helps you maximise your strengths. 

 

As a way for you to begin to build a Pre-Performance Plan for the year ahead I thought I would share with you some brilliant books I feel will equally help and inspire you. 

 

They are perfect affordable gifts to put on your Christmas list. All will have a lasting impact. 

 

Specifically, these books will help you deal with areas of potential development, eradicate potential barriers to good performance, and maximise potential areas of growth.
