About the author

I am a professional origami artist and author and I've been folding paper for over 30 years. I never cease to be amazed by the geometric possibilities and sheer beauty that lies dormant within a sheet of paper, waiting for the careful hand of the folder to awaken it.

Over the years, origami has brought me many friends, has inspired, amused and intrigued me, as well as being a source of income. It's a lucky man who gets to work at a subject he loves.

I have been a member of the British Origami Society for over 25 years and edited their magazine as well as maintaining their website since 1996. I have written 35 books about origami, supplied photographs for articles on paper-folding and have fulfilled numerous commercial and charitable origami commissions involving origami and paper art over the last 20 years, both within the UK and abroad.

unlock your potential!I have created several hundred original designs. I regularly teach origami in schools, arts centres and many other venues & have a clean enhanced CRB check.

Let me unlock the potential of origami for your creative campaigns!

В лесни ситуации и когато всичко е наред - трудни хора няма. В живота обаче се оказва, че повсеместно липсват именно лесните хора…

Книгата е просто систематизиран фирмен курс, при това от кратките (за по един ден), генеричните и лесно проследимите по точки. Интересното е на страница 51 с матрицата “кой какъв е” в зависимост какъв му е основният приоритет/насоченост и каква му е реакцията към стреса. Имаме си:

1️⃣ Страшният специалист
2️⃣ Сенчестият стратег
3️⃣ Мъченикът
4️⃣ Движещата сила
5️⃣ Революционерът
6️⃣ Строителят на империя
7️⃣ Вечно разтревоженият
8️⃣ Скала̀та
9️⃣ Вечно угаждащият

Задължително е читателят да се опита да категоризира първо себе си. Аз лично, оказва се, съм циркулирала из поне 3 от категориите. Нито една от тях не е лоша, просто е специфична според пресечната точка “тип човек - среда”. И ако се открие начинът да се отстранят част от негативните фактори и човек да развие малко опита и личността си, всичките девет точки стават 🔝

Робинсън хич не е задълбал, и на места е достатъчно да се четат само заглавията на секциите. Цялата тази ейч арска настолна литература никога не ме е привличала в този си занаятчийски, генеричен и полуфабрикатен икейски формат, но заради матричката все пак ще закръгля нагоре. Друго си е хубава картинка :)

A helpful model from an experienced executive coach

This is a book I am able to dip into to do a quick check whenever I encounter a difficult person in the workplace or in any other team setting.

There is 9 type of difficult people and he explained in depth about each 9 type how to identify and how to deal with them. There is a summary after each type (part 2) if you just want a quick read.

Is this a workbook?! Because it IS LIKE ONE BUT NOT THAT TOO.

Wasted my time.

I liked the matrix. Honestly, I now understand myself better rather than identifying others' types, which was my initial goal, will hopefully use this someday!
