Our October Book of the Month is “Failure Breeds Success” by entrepreneur, growth mentor, consultant, and speaker on strategic change and Leadership, Mike Greene. 

Failure Breeds Success is the first book by entrepreneur and international businessman Mike Greene. He was inspired to write it following an appearance on Secret Millionaire, the long-running Channel Four show. Working with underprivileged kids Mike saw that given half a chance they were able to change their life completely. It forced him to reflect on his own humble background and reflect that we all have the ability to turn setbacks into triumphs and achieve whatever we want to do in life.

Mindfulness is the human ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us. Paying more attention to the present moment – to your own thoughts and feelings, and to the world around you – can improve your mental well-being.

Mindfulness-based therapies are recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) as a way to treat less severe depression

We work with a few speakers that cover mindfulness in their presentations so if you looking for a speaker on the subject these are a few to bear in mind
