Professor Connell Fanning, Director of The Keynes Centre at UCC and co-author of The Leadership Mind, with Assumpta O’Kane, speaks to Greg Canty of The WinHappy podcast for the second time (you can find the previous conversation here).
In this episode, Connell talks about how reading is a key part of the development programme at The Keynes Centre, where ‘It’s not the book, it’s how it is read’ that is important.
Connell describes how we should ‘read with intent’, developing a dialogue with ourselves, engaging with the author’s mind and he discusses some source thinkers, minds that can help us to refresh our own thinking.
Most importantly, Connell explains the importance of development through adulthood and how reading experiences can play a critical role in this.
