Description
Book SynopsisA self-help and business book like no other, which explores the human connection to the natural world
Ultimately humanity is part of nature so it makes sense that we should shape our lives in accordance to the idea of natural intelligence.
Rosie Tomkins invites us to re-examine our connection with nature and return to the attributes that animals have been naturally reflecting on for thousands of years - such as purpose, adaption, resilience, pressure to name a few - in order to better our lives and our businesses.
This book will encourage readers to gain back control of their initiative and natural flair in life, as well regain faith in their own judgement, by taking a look at nature in the raw to see what valuable lessons can be utilised to cut through the complexities of modern existence.
Let Nature Be Your Compass uses memorable anchors, examples and solutions that will provide readers with an edge in almost any situation they go on to encounter in life.
Trade ReviewPraise for previous edition of Let Nature Be Your Compass by Rosie Tomkins (N-stinctive, by Rosie Tomkins, Urbane Publications, 2020):
"What an inspiration! I love that we can become better leaders by understanding our animal selves through the natural world."
Chris Barez-Brown, Motivator, Founder of Upping Your Elvis and author of Free! Love Your Work Love Your Life, Wake Up! and Shine
"This book presents a unique, fun and innovative perspective about leadership. I am very familiar with the topic of Instinctual Intelligence and I really like the anecdotes about the different types of animals — who instinctually follow their inner knowing and stay congruent and balanced — and I appreciate how this relates to self and organizational leadership. In our modern age, we humans have become disconnected from ourselves and with nature and this book reminds us that we would be better off if we can find ways of tapping into and trusting our natural intelligence."
Lissa Pohl Head of Leadership at Kentucky University, United States of America
“This is a fantastic book in many different ways. It widened my view about leadership and I love the framework used to introduce Natural Intelligence. It is an extremely engaging read with powerful stories and examples, which for me validated that leadership is about connecting in a transformational way with those people we serve as well as those we need to be leading. The author's authenticity shines through the entire book. Congratulations Rosie."
Pam Frost, previously Co-Director of Education, National Health Service, United Kingdom
"The concept of animal behaviour applied to leadership is inspiring and the author's demonstrated expertise is powerful. The specific examples bring the concepts to life and establish a personal connection with the reader."
Graham Miller, Partner, Clarke Mclean Financial, United Kingdom
“Lovely, inspiring and well written. Eminently readable. Great sincerity, authenticity and readability. I think it will be a hit."
Robin Teoh, Doctor of Medicine, United Kingdom
"This book touched my heart. It comes from the head and the heart, together, to show leadership in a more humble way. It is a new type of business book that opens you up to new ways of being. It can give you a renewed confidence and sense of purpose in yourself and in any role in any organisation. It reminds us that our natural intelligence is valued and should be allowed to flourish, alongside all our intelligences; to be free to be that liberated leader without fear; to be able to bring your best game to the table. As Rosie's beautifully written book says, "We are animals and we have everything we need to survive built into our DNA."
Paula Tully, previously Vice President Europe, Pfizer Biopharmaceutical United Kingdom
