Inhalt

Slow Down Look Up is a self-development trip built around life-lessons from the author’s varied career.

Set to the motif of a David Bowie inspired journey, each chapter represents a station at which the reader alights and explores before getting back on board for the next adventure.

SDLU is for the reader who is a little lost, confused and uncertain. It is proof-positive that by looking and listening with an open mind you will find something resembling the answer.

The theme is eclecticism, and the lesson is that there are many wonderful alternatives to setting strict goals and targets.

About the Expert

Renato is a Venetian Londoner who ran a travel company for over two decades. He has been a workplace coach, university lecturer, teacher and an educational assessor obsessed with the nuances and intricacies of marking coursework and exam papers.

When the Pandemic of 2020 finally released its grubby grip, he took the opportunity to change career and became a UK Government Civil Servant. His clients were no longer ‘discriminating’ holiday makers and business travellers, but unemployed and disadvantaged people. He learned a lot.

His first book, The Beautiful Mind Game used lessons from football to show how the sport provides metaphors and strategies for life.

Listen to other peoples’ experiences when developing your strategy. Enjoy the process of experimenting and researching when testing hypotheses. Respect your intuition when negotiating with others. Observe people and situations to build empathy for their feelings.
