The Launch of "The Success Zone"

Group 8 Education's exciting new book on leadership, coaching and the brain

Andrew Mowat, John Corrigan, Doug Long

Group 8 Education has been working closely with a number of schools in Victoria since 2005 towards creating thriving schools.

To celebrate both the collaboration Group 8 has shared with the Victorian Catholic and State Education systems, and indeed, the launch of the book, a short booklaunch event will be held at Symonds Hall, Toorak, on November 17 between 5pm and 8pm. Note that numbers are limited.

About Group 8 Education

Group 8 Education has developed significant capabilities in the area of leadership development and school transformation over the last six years based on experiences with 110 schools in Victoria and 21 in England (references and case studies available on request).

At the heart of this development is the recognition that to put students in the optimal mind state for learning requires a school culture that respects, believes in and listens to both children and adults. 

Group 8 has now documented its significant learning in an easy to read and practical book, ‘The Success Zone’ (details below).

Published by Global Publishing, and distributed by Denis Jones and Associates, ‘The Success Zone’ will be available in bookstores in November, retailing for $29.95.

Book Details

Benefits:

• Quickly know and label your helpful and not-so-helpful mind states through the Blue Zone/Red Zone approach

Read about the 5 steps to growing yourself and others around you:

• The Blue and Red Zone mind states: People who consistently engage from their Blue Zones are collaborative, creative, bright and optimistic. Through this ‘mindset’, they create the conditions in their own brain, and in those of people around them, where growth, change and optimism emerge
• Staying Cool Under Pressure: Recent neuroscience research is uncovering strategies that help you be your best, even when the going gets tough
• Powerful Questioning: Knowing the best questions helps access reflection, clarity and insight, and engages the Blue Zone for all. 
• Learning to Listen: We often just listen, without knowing how it is we could listen. Learn how it is that influential people leave you with the feeling that you are the only person in the room.
• Conversations for Growth: By putting it all together, learn key conversations that engage yourself, and others, in true self growth. Learn how to have better social and professional conversations, and learn how to have the difficult and essential conversations.
