"Catherine's exploration into human behaviour is exemplary. A great read for everyone to discover their own behavioural 'style', with practical advice and tips. I particularly found the tips on inclusivity in meetings for extraverts vs introverts helpful, and will be using some of these going forward."

"How to Get On with Anyone opened my eyes - the explanations, data and examples helped me make sense of the way that I thought I was interacting with people-and the way that I actually was interacting. How helpful it has been to know this!"
Harumi Gondo, Founder, TypeLAB and 16TYPE
"A great resource for anyone who needs to challenge their brain's unconscious and automatic processing and become more intentional about what they do and why they do it. Paying attention to what we pay attention to is the first step in building more successful relationships. This book helps us focus on how our own behaviour truly impacts the behaviour of those around us, enabling self-reflection and greater accountability for our interactions with others."
Dr Helena Boschi, Psychologist and Applied Neuroscientist
"I love how Catherine provides key pragmatic actions each of us can take to get the most out of our important relationships. The effort-to-reward ratio is off the charts for both reading this book and also for implementing Catherine's suggestions."
Sterling Bates, President and CTO, Step Research Corporation
