Daniel Coyle

Daniel Coyle is the award-winning, NY Times-bestselling author of several books on leadership and performance, including The Talent Code, The Little Book of Talent, and his most recent book, The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups.

In The Culture Code, Coyle takes you inside some of the world’s most high-performing organisations including Pixar, the San Antonio Spurs, and Navy SEALs Team Six, to demystify the culture-building process and provide simple, actionable tools that can spark buy-in, boost trust, and strengthen your organization’s culture.

Coyle, who has worked as an advisor with the Major League Baseball team Cleveland Guardians since 2013, has also served as an advisor to military special forces, professional sports teams, schools, and other organisations, and as a consulting producer to ESPN documentary films. In his previous books, he explored how to develop talent in any discipline. His best-selling Little Book of Talent, is a user's manual for improving skills through 52 scientifically-proven, field-tested methods.

While The Little Book of Talent offers practical instruction for skill-building, The Talent Code takes a deeper look at the neuroscience behind learning.

Both The Talent Code and The Little Book of Talent explain how to make these practices part of your life and become better at what matters most to you.
