Convinced!: How to Prove Your Competence & Win People Over

by Jack Nasher

Competence does not speak for itself! You can't simply display it; you have to draw people's attention to it. World-renowned negotiation and deception detection expert, business professor, and mentalist Jack Nasher offers effective, proven techniques to convince others that we are talented, trustworthy, and yes, even brilliant. Nasher offers the example of Joshua Bell, possibly the world's most famous violinist. In January 2007, at rush hour, he stepped into a Washington, DC, subway station, dressed like any street busker, and began to play a $4,000,000 Stradivarius. It was part of an experiment staged by a journalist of the Washington Post, who expected Bell's skill alone to attract an immense, awed crowd. But Bell was generally ignored, and when he stopped, nobody applauded. He made $34.17.The good news is that you don't have to accept obscurity: you can positively affect others' perception of your talent. Whether you're looking for work, giving an important presentation, seeking clients or customers for your business, or vying for a promotion, Nasher explains how to use techniques such as expectation management, verbal and nonverbal communication, the Halo Effect, competence framing, and the power of nonconformity to gain control of how others perceive you. Competence is the most highly valued professional trait. But it's not enough to be competent, you have to convey your competence. With Nasher's help you can showcase your expertise, receive the recognition you deserve, and achieve lasting success.

Power of a Positive No: How to Say No and Still Get to Yes

by William Ury

No is perhaps the most important and certainly the most powerful word in the language. Every day we find ourselves in situations where we need to say No–to people at work, at home, and in our communities–because No is the word we must use to protect ourselves and to stand up for everything and everyone that matters to us. But as we all know, the wrong No can also destroy what we most value by alienating and angering people. That’s why saying No the right way is crucial. The secret to saying No without destroying relationships lies in the art of the Positive No, a proven technique that anyone can learn. This indispensable book gives you a simple three-step method for saying a Positive No. It will show you how to assert and defend your key interests; how to make your No firm and strong; how to resist the other side’s aggression and manipulation; and how to do all this while still getting to Yes. In the end, the Positive No will help you get not just to any Yes but to the right Yes, the one that truly serves your interests. Based on William Ury’s celebrated Harvard University course for managers and professionals,The Power of a Positive Nooffers concrete advice and practical examples for saying No in virtually any situation. Whether you need to say No to your customer or your coworker, your employee or your CEO, your child or your spouse, you will find in this book the secret to saying No clearly, respectfully, and effectively. In today’s world of high stress and limitless choices, the pressure to give in and say Yes grows greater every day, producing overload and overwork, expanding e-mail and eroding ethics. Never has No been more needed. A Positive No has the power to profoundly transform our lives by enabling us to say Yes to what counts–our own needs, values, and priorities. Understood this way, No is the new Yes. And the Positive No may be the most valuable life skill you’ll ever learn! From the Hardcover edition.

Boss Lady: An Executive Woman Talks About Making It

by Jo Foxworth

In the United States when this was published (1978), as stated on the back cover: "College-educated men average $20,000 a year; college women get only $12,000. Our work force is over 40% female, yet women hold only 6% of the managerial positions. When a woman who has made a place in that 6% for herself is ready to tell you how--it’s smart to listen to the Boss Lady." The Boss Lady is Jo Foxworth, an American advertising executive who started as a copywriter in 1955, and then founded her own advertising firm in 1968. Although the times have changed since then, and the three-martini business lunch is no longer common practice, much has NOT changed for women in the business world. Writing in a straightforward, highly readable style, Ms. Foxworth offers up plenty of still-useful tips for women who strive to become successful business executives.

Meditazione e Creatività: Sempre nuova

by Apo Halmyris Francesca Degani

La meditazione e la concentrazione nelle loro forme classiche sono sempre strumenti preziosi per ampliare gli orizzonti della nostra creatività. In ogni contesto cultural e religioso, le tecniche sperimentate da secoli sono sempre attuali e nuove per noi. Questa seconda edizione sottolinea l'approccio pragmatico e offre una serie di tecniche preparatorie per un cammino attento e sicuro verso la meditazione. Per familiarizzarsi con alcuni modi per stimolare la creatività, occorrono tempo, perseveranza e attenzione. Apprendere i metodi di meditazione è impegnativo, ma è di per sé un premio. Oggi normalmente molti studenti esplorano vari tipi di corsi e di tecniche, e chiedono: perché devo fare così? Che cosa posso "ottenere" da questo? Come posso utilizzarlo? (tutte domande centrate sull'Io). Potremmo semplicemente sorridere e spiegare chiaramente alcune procedure per la concentrazione, efficaci anche per ampliare i limiti del pensiero e della creatività. E per i cercatori sul sentiero... possiamo invitarli a guardare la punta delle loro scarpe, perché il sentiero è proprio lì, sotto i loro piedi. Questo testo è un corso pratico graduale, o piuttosto un sentiero contemporaneo per proseguire la scoperta consapevole di se stessi? Le luci discrete delle lampade a olio disseminate dai maestri sono ancora visibili.
