Trade Review‘This is the blueprint I’ve so desperately needed! The tips throughout the book have transformed not only how I understand my colleagues’ motivations and behaviours but my relationships outside work too. As an autistic person, I find it hard to figure out what makes people tick and how they make decisions. So this book has finally helped me articulate how my own brain works and to understand how other people operate too.’ Amy Lockwood, CEO, Oxford Hub ; 'Debra Allcock Tyler has tackled a huge subject with real professionalism' Lindsay Boswell, former Chief Executive, Institute of Fundraising
