Getting on Brilliantly: Recipes for Successful Meetings
written with my friend Susan Murray

is a collection of process tools and ideas that help people work well together in groups. You don't need to be an expert or external consultant to hold successful meetings - Getting on Brilliantly shows you how to get the most out of a meeting with clear step-by-step instructions.

The book is written for innovative leaders, managers, and for anyone wanting to develop their team facilitation skills.

It will help you make sure that:

	Meetings are enjoyed, rather than endured
	Discussions are focussed
	Decisions are informed and intelligent
	There is a balance of power and participation in meetings
	Everyone can join in
	Meetings bring out the best in people
	People express their passion and take responsibility for their work
	Organisational health and balance improves
	and all of the above will reinforce shared values and deliver results

Getting on Brilliantly contains the following chapters:

	Getting started - encouraging everyone to participate in meetings
	Clarifying and framing -being clear about the issues
	Gathering information - working on what needs to change
	Analysis - knowing where you want to go and how to get there
