Ruby Loud Mouse and the Ruru

by Alice Pearce

The saying ‘as quiet as a mouse’ does NOT apply to Ruby Loud Mouse.

Ruby finds it super tricky to stay SILENT in movies, to WHISPER in the library, or to keep QUIET on the school trip to the marae. In fact, Ruby is SO LOUD everyone is always telling her to ‘sssshhhh!’.

But when her village is under ATTACK from a ruru, Ruby learns that sometimes being LOUD is the best thing to be.

Think Like A Coach

by Jude Sclater

A short, impactful guide that brings the power of coaching to the fingertips of every manager. Jude Sclater’s model, the Coaching Two-Step, shows managers how to take skills they already have—listening and asking questions—to guide their team members to discover their own solutions. This approach not only drives performance but also builds a culture of trust and empowerment.

With over a decade of experience coaching managers in organisations such as Deloitte, Mars and bp, Sclater explains coaching to managers in a way that doesn’t talk down to them. Instead, she uses stories and anecdotes from her own career to gently encourage the reader to give coaching a go.

Think Like a Coach will fast become a critical resource, equipping managers with the skills needed to create a supportive, high-performing team environment.
