Watkins, who is a physician, neuroscientist, and coach to business leaders, examines what influences leadership performance through concepts from several scientific fields, from medicine to sport psychology to emotional intelligence. He argues that leaders need to be in a state of coherence, or a flow state of maximum efficiency and effectiveness in which the body and mind are one. He discusses how to manage internal physiological awareness to aid in emotional coherence, discussing elements such as heart rate, energy management, and breathing; how this affects health and happiness; and how it improves cognitive coherence and how to build quality thinking. He explains how to prevent the brain shut-down that gets in the way of cognitive coherence, and the behaviors that can lead to more influence as a leader, including communication, trust, team development, and decision making.

Business leaders face challenges every day, each one taking a toll on energy levels and the ability to respond and react positively.Coherence recognizes the key factors that take their toll on a leader's effectiveness and ability to lead and provides solutions designed to improve physiological factors that impact on core competencies. Including detailed insights from neuroscience, cardiology and medical technology, Watkins identifies which commercial conversations add the most value to a leader and their business immediately, objectively identifying hidden secrets to a leader's success and uncovering any obstacles inhibiting performance, from workload to communication.

In life sometimes your inner voice can be nervous, worried and unhappy... learning to operate from a position of inner peace and calmness, to be present, is transformational.

With the techniques in this book we did it in six months." * Warwick Brady, COO, easyJet * "It makes sense that if you want to perform at your best you should know the key drivers of how that is possible.
