Product Description
Because people who have mastered learning are free to be creative and make big things happen, Ken Blanchard takes a strong personal interest in this problem. In Know Can Do! he and his co-authors Paul J. Meyer and Dick Ruhe use the fable format Blanchard made famous to lay out a straightforward method for making sure you actually use what you know.
This engaging audiobook teaches you how to avoid information overload by learning less more, not more less; adjust your brain’s filtering system to learn up to 100 times more than before; ignite your creativity and resourcefulness with Green Light Thinking, master what you’ve learned using spaced repetition, and more.
At last, an answer to the question “Why don’t I do what I know I should do?”

From AudioFile
This attention-grabbing lesson explains why most people don't put their best intentions and plans into practice. Using a mentor-pupil narrative, the authors say that personal change doesn't happen for three reasons--an overwhelming overload of options, negative filters that denigrate good ideas, and poor follow-up. Narrator Mark Barbolak reads the dialogue between an author and an entrepreneur with innocent clarity. His narration style is an excellent fit with Ken Blanchard's trademark simplicity and accessible teaching style. Barbolak's natural enunciation and impeccable phrasing will help people at all levels of sophistication absorb and savor the ideas. His optimism and vocal personality will promote openness to the authors' intuitive action plan: provide clarity and structure regarding the desired change, give steady support and consideration, and ensure accountability with consistent follow-up.

Customer Reviews
Blanchard does it again!
I must confess I am a Blanchard fan. The Situational Leadership, One Minute Manager, and other series are concise, helpful, and easy to put into action. Know Can Do gives one the tools to put knowledge into action. Many people are constantly looking for the next best thing instead of really putting an effort into what they already know. The author, using a story, of course, shows how to learn, review, and apply learning. By learning and reviewing a few things instead of shallowly learning a lot of things, you will accomplish more real change. all real accomplishment comes from focus, and this book will help internalize that concept.
Blanchard books are great on CD as well and will yield more return than the morning radio show. Plus, now Amazon is giving better prices on audiobooks than ever before!! A win/win.
Improve knowledge retention with Know Can Do!
The authors remind us that personal development can fall short if there is no follow through. With their practical suggestions and easy-to-follow techniques, readers improve their retention of what they need to learn. Know Can Do! is worth the investment.
Great read
I am a great fan of Mr. Ken Blanchchard. I have read his most of the books. And this book "Know Can Do!" is also a one of the great books, which explained that how, Repetition, positive attitude and followup can fill the gap of learning into actions. Must read.
