Resources That Inspire

On this page, I share books and resources that have genuinely helped me or I have created to help, some of which I may have mentioned in our sessions or conversations because they’ve had a real impact on my thinking and practice.

Some of the links are Amazon affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you choose to purchase through them at no extra cost to you. I only recommend books I’ve personally read and found valuable.

Thank you for supporting EQ Pathways!

In this simple yet ground breaking book, Thomas Erikson reveals his method for assessing the personalities of people we communicate with and teaches us how to communicate better. Based on four core personality types (Red, Yellow, Green and Blue), in Surrounded by Idiots, you will begin to understand yourself better, hone communication and social skills, handle conflict with confidence, improve dynamics with your boss and team, and get the best out of the people you deal with and manage.

Do you ever feel misunderstood, frustrated, or drained when dealing with certain people? Maybe you clash with a Red who pushes too hard, or struggle to keep up with a Yellow’s boundless energy. Perhaps a Green’s silence confuses you, or a Blue’s precision leaves you feeling overwhelmed. This workbook unpacks the hidden patterns behind these interactions and shows you exactly how to respond with clarity, confidence, and respect.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the beloved classic that has sold over 20 million copies worldwide, is celebrating its 25th anniversary with this reissue! With a new foreword, the wisdom of the 7 Habits still holds true after all these years. The 7 Habits have become so famous because they work. They have been integrated into everyday thinking by many millions of people. The reason: They work. Habit 1: Be Proactive. Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. Habit 3: Put First Things First. Habit 4: Think Win/Win. Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood. Habit 6: Synergize. Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. The book presents a principle-centered approach for solving personal and professional problems.

Please be aware that coaching and mentoring is delivered differently by different people. We all have different training, favourite methods and experience. This means some people will match with what you need better than me. When we speak for our initial call (no cost) we will try and identify that early and can use the answers to the above questions to help us with that.
