Usually, in The Salience Podcast, we interview authors or amazing people that inspired us while we were writing Resilience by Design. The podcast was conceived as a way to explore people and their ideas in more depth than we could cover in the book.This episode is something of an exception… and somewhat to our embarrassment, we have to admit that we missed Staffan’s important contribution to resilience when we did our research. Somehow, we managed to miss THE most published book on how to be productive. Monotasking: How to Focus Your Mind, Be More Productive, and Improve Your Brain Health has lots of practical techniques to improve how we can manage our attention. The quality of the ideas and the layout explain how the book has sold a staggering 750,000 copies.If you enjoyed learning about the distinctions between creative mode and task mode in our book, monotasking takes the ideas further, so please enjoy my conversation with Staffan Nöteberg about Monotasking.

This week's guest on the Salience Podcast is Nick Littlehales, author of the best-selling book “Sleep”.  The danger of talking too much about sleep is we may end up feeling, well, sleepy!Despite the cunning title of Nick’s book, his book is very engaging and provides a number of super practical tips. Nick is much more than an academic author; he is the sleep coach to many sports teams and elite athletes.  Listen to the interview with Nick that describes how to have micro-rests even when you're still walking around, and how the choices we make from the moment we wake up will have an impact on how we sleep.  You can find out more about Nick at https://sportsleepcoach.com/ For more information about The Salience Podcast and Frontline Mind please visit our website at https://www.frontlinemind.com/the-salience-podcast/ You can also sign up for our newsletter here https://frontlinemind.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ff181d12c77d7cea5f19a2c48&id=fd7357f614

Episode 2 of The Salience Podcast features Greg Layton. Greg is the bestselling author of Chief Maker and is the CEO of a company of the same name. Greg has a really tight niche in the talent development market focussing on helping people in organisations who are perhaps under the most pressure - the Senior Managers or General Managers who I describe as the meat in the sandwich. They have to deal with pressure from the Chiefs above, and staff and other managers below, and breaking into the C-suite is tough. And once they get there, my experience is that the Chief role can offer some very unexpected challenges. Find out more about Chief Maker here. For more information about The Salience Podcast and Frontline Mind please visit our website at https://www.frontlinemind.com/the-salience-podcast/ You can also sign up for our newsletter here https://frontlinemind.us17.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=ff181d12c77d7cea5f19a2c48&id=fd7357f614
