AcknowledgementsThe designer is grateful to all the authors, academics, consultants and trainers who have created the foundation knowledge, patterns and techniques subsequently influencing the pioneering design and development of MindSkills 10 Minute Techniques. Every effort has been made to ensure that proper credit wherever possible or relevant is attributed to the original sources that underpin or have contributed to the design of each module. The following abridged list of authors includes but is not restricted to: Richard Bandler John Grinder Herbert Benson Ken WilberAnne Linden Robert Cialdini Maxwell MaltzStephen GilliganMargaret Wheatley Robert Fritz Jim Collins Mihaly CsikszentmihalyiSteven Covey Eric Harrison Ned HermannCharles BaudouinTad James Larry McLauchlin Paul Scheele Robert GreeneJoseph O’Connor Anthony Robbins Paul McKenna Win WengerNoel Tichy Richard Branson Donald Moine Shelle Rose CharvetRobert Dilts Michael Hall Sharon Morgan Genie LabordeShlomo Vaknin Albert Korzibski Candace Pert Tim HallbomNapoleon Hill Jim Collins Deepak Chopra James LawleyDaniel Goleman Tony Buzan Byron Lewis David GordonWarren Bennis Joseph Campbell Spencer Johnson Malcolm GladwellGregory Bateson Milton Erickson Peter Senge Clare GravesJames Kouzes Roger von Oech Michael Michalko Gareth MorganDon Beck Michael Murphy Ken Blanchard Charles Hampton-TurnerTimothy Gallwey Napoleon Hill Jon Katzenbach Carl LarsonJohn Overdurf Jack Welch John Seymour Charles FaulknerWyatt Woodsmall Lucas Derks Bob Bodenhamer Stephen WolinskyGeorge Lakoff Daniel Goleman Doc Childre Thomas KuhnChris Argyris Jim Loehr Steve Lankton Paul WatzlawickSteve Andreas John Kotter W.

It should be noted that there is unlikely to be ‘one best way’ and module designs has drawn from many sources. Some provided a partial background or blueprint of expertise in the field (e.g. leadership, coaching, sports, wealth, meditation, arts, etc.) many integrated with human capital development (e.g. emotional intelligence, accelerated learning, team-building, creativity and innovation, change management, learning styles, cognitive research and psychometrics) using up-to-date knowledge, easy to follow psycholinguistic guidelines, and the designers own years of extensive pioneering, innovating and field-testing experience applied largely in a business context and to a lesser extent sports (especially golf), business and private psychotherapy.
