Praise for previous edition ofLet Nature Be Your Compassby Rosie Tomkins (N-stinctive,by Rosie Tomkins,Urbane Publications, 2020):
"What an inspiration! I love that we can become better leaders by understanding our animal selves through the natural world."
Chris Barez-Brown, Motivator, Founder of Upping Your Elvis and author ofFree! Love Your Work Love Your Life, Wake Up!andShine
"This book presents a unique, fun and innovative perspective about leadership. I am very familiar with the topic of Instinctual Intelligence and I really like the anecdotes about the different types of animals who instinctually follow their inner knowing and stay congruent and balanced and I appreciate how this relates to self and organizational leadership. In our modern age, we humans have become disconnected from ourselves and with nature and this book reminds us that we would be better off if we can find ways of tapping into and trusting our natural intelligence."
Lissa Pohl Head of Leadership at Kentucky University, United States of America
This is a fantastic book in many different ways. It widened my view about leadership and I love the framework used to introduce Natural Intelligence. It is an extremely engaging read with powerful stories and examples, which for me validated that leadership is about connecting in a transformational way with those people we serve as well as those we need to be leading. The author's authenticity shines through the entire book. Congratulations Rosie."
Pam Frost, previously Co-Director of Education, National Health Service, United Kingdom
"The concept of animal behaviour applied to leadership is inspiring and the author's demonstrated expertise is powerful. The specific examples bring the concepts to life and establish a personal connection with the reader."
Graham Miller, Partner, Clarke Mclean Financial, United Kingdom
Lovely, inspiring and well written. Eminently readable. Great sincerity, authenticity and readability. I think it will be a hit."
Robin Teoh, Doctor of Medicine, United Kingdom
"This book touched my heart. It comes from the head and the heart, together, to show leadership in a more humble way. It is a new type of business book that opens you up to new ways of being. It can give you a renewed confidence and sense of purpose in yourself and in any role in any organisation. It reminds us that our natural intelligence is valued and should be allowed to flourish, alongside all our intelligences; to be free to be that liberated leader without fear; to be able to bring your best game to the table. As Rosie's beautifully written book says, "We are animals and we have everything we need to survive built into our DNA."
