Having read all of Dr Chatterjee’s books, it’s hard to pick a favourite, however, I think this may be his finest work yet. Based on his knowledge and wisdom, reflections and insights from his guests from his podcast – Live Better, Feel More it makes for a brilliant and informative read.

The book is broken into nine chapters, each focusing on how our thoughts lead to negative behaviour/habit. Dr Chatterjee makes the point that knowledge is not enough and that true change comes about when we change/replace our outdated patterns of thinking. Dr Chatterjee is touring in 2025 and I’ll see you in the audience!

The Let Them theory is a mindset tool that teaches you to let other people make their choices and live their lives and to stop making it your job, or responsibility to manage or control what other people are doing.

What does it take to be an effective leader? This is very much explored and covered in detail in this powerful leadership book.

Fiona is a massive fan-girl of Prof Peters and there is a reason why she recommends this insightful and brilliant read to everyone she meets!

The book explores in detail how our brain works, the struggles that take place within our mind and explains how we can apply the Chimp model to all aspects of our lives, so we can improve our relationships, our happiness and improve how manage our thoughts and emotions. A must read!

One of the best books you will ever read when it comes to understanding effective teamwork. 

By exploring each of the five dysfunctions, as outlined in the book, the reader will develop an insightful understanding of each of the dysfunctions in more detail, it will also help you to identify which dysfunction(s) might be holding you and the team back, and most importantly, what steps and necessary action you can take to make the team more effective, improved relationships, which ultimately impacts on what you deliver and the bottom line.

What helps people to make sustainable change? Well, it’s something Professor Katy Milkman has dedicated her career to uncovering. In this insightful and impactful book, Milkman takes you on a whistle-stop tour of the six areas that she has identified as obstacles to change (Impulsivity, Procrastination, Forgetfulness, Laziness, Confidence and Conformity)

Through her work, Fiona has used the knowledge from the book to support her clients with organisation and personal change. The feedback has been positive and the results even better. A must read for any leader or founder.

Whilst on a train from London to Liverpool, Fiona got talking to a fellow passenger (and senior leader) who was reading this book on the train. He told Fiona is was a ‘must read’ and since that day, it has become a firm favourite of Fiona’s and the many people she now also recommends it too. The author does a brilliant job of distilling the essentials of coaching to seven core questions.

As we all know, it takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, so this book and its wonderful coaching insights could be a real game changer for those of you who are fed up all being the person who is expected to provide the answers / solutions.

As part of her on-going CPD, Fiona attended a training programme based on the work of Stanford University lecturer, Doctor and psychologist, Carol Dweck. There is a very good reason why Mindset has become a million-copy bestseller.

Dweck reports that it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring success – but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate others’ as well as reaching our own goals – both personal and professional.
