About the Author

Mark Dando is a mentor, coach and trainer. He co-founded Coloured Square with Doug Richardson in 2000. Since then, they have used their very particular approach to learning and development to provide help for people and organisations in management, leadership, sales, field management, influence, presenting, training, training design...in fact, in anything that involves communication.

Well-being and resilience have been common themes in Mark and Doug's work for nearly twenty years, but in the last two years they've been pulling together many strands and principles to provide a single package which will address the topic more formally. 'Don't Strain LittleBrain' demanded to be written as a result. It is Mark's third book. The first two, written with Doug, are about their attitudes to time and to presenting.

Mark lives in Bristol. He recently published his first children's book, 'The Boy Who Yawned', also with SilverWood Books. His friends think he reads a lot. His kids think he plays a lot. His guitar teacher knows he doesn't practise enough. He keeps himself pretty busy. He's trying to learn to chill out a bit more.

Maybe this book will help.

Reviews

"A concise, practical, neat little book. Full of simple, sometimes obvious, insights which get you questioning what Wellbeing means to your everyday life. It might just help you to stop straining LittleBrain..." James Iles, BT Business & Public Sector; "Thought provoking, funny and straight to the point - a perfect read for those of us whose mad, crazy schedules rule us... rather than the other way round!" Steph Lewis, HR Director, Beiersdorf Northern Europe
