Transforming Performance at Work

Reviews / Votes

'If you want to improve, inspire teams, or coach people, this is the essential resource to help you optimise performance at work using positive psychology. Sarah Alexander guides us through Martin Seligman's PERMA model, incorporating her own experience with other theory, case examples, tips, exercises and questions to explore. It's a well-researched and extremely practical book, which I've already heavily highlighted and scribbled on in readiness for me to refer to for workshops and with clients. Happy people capitalising on their superpowers drives high performance! Read this book to understand why and how!'

'Transforming Performance at Work is highly practical and engaging. For any company or manager struggling with demotivated teams this is a must-read. This is equally true for any professional who wants to be at their best without burning out. Each chapter provides the invaluable pillars of transforming performance. The captivating way in which it is written makes you remember key points in your day-to-day life after just one read. It is also a great one to revisit, as the examples, the summaries, and the immediately applicable exercises, make it consistently relevant.'

'This is a really important book, particularly in these stressful times. We spend about a third of our time at work and Sarah shows how that time should not simply be lost time, but time that makes a significant contribution to our well-being and sense of self, from which the employing organisation also benefits. Sarah pulls off a difficult trick in this book in achieving three ends: it makes great sense, is easily read and, most importantly, is eminently practical. A 'must read'!'
