Many people have described Mike Clayton as a Powerhouse.
In five years, he wrote 12 books, whilst extending his speaking and seminar business. These five years have also been happy and busy years at home, as his writing career started a week after the birth of his daughter, and a month or so after moving to a new home in a new town, with his new wife.
Mike has always tried to be effective in everything he does, and learned his business, management, and professional skills as a management consultant, leading large engagements on behalf of international consulting firm, Deloitte. Having established two training businesses after leaving Deloitte, Mike now focuses his work on writing, on business, management, and personal effectiveness seminars, and as a platform speaker.
All of Mike’s books, seminars and training programmes are about being effective as a professional, manager, or leader. They represent that experience and what he has learned about how to make his ideas easy to understand and implement. His books and seminars cover all of the personal and business skills he has needed throughout his career.
Mike has spent the last twenty five years of his career studying and learning this stuff and nothing gives him more pleasure than sharing it.
Mike lives in Hampshire, England, with his wife and daughter.
The Yes/No book explores the essentialist methodology of trying to do less and achieve more -- the idea that we can do anything we want to do, but not everything that we want to do.
It shares many ideas with the book "Essentialism" by Greg McKeown, but this book is much more practical in its application, offering up a framework of how to approach decision making, reduce anxiety and stress, and to achieve a greater sense of well-being, focus and achievement.
The book is full of written exercises for the reader to take to help the lessons shared take-hold and later chapters build on the knowledge already shared to help emphasise that the journey the reader is about to undertake is not one taken overnight. As somebody who considers himself very self-aware of Yes/No decision making, I still struggle to ensure my default answer is "Let me think about that" rather than "Yes", and this book helps build upon that habit.
The book also explores time management, productivity and both personal and business relationships. In short, it gives an excellent framework for decision making in all areas of your life.
If you are somebody who frequently finds yourself feeling overwhelmed, stressed, dissatisfied, un-appreciated or generally frustrated with everything you're trying to do on a day-to-day basis, reading this book may be a life changing experience for you.
