Changing Employee Behavior
by Shlomo Ben-Hur Nik KinleyAn important part of every manager's job is changing people's behavior: to improve someone's performance, get them to better manage relationships with colleagues, or to stop them doing something. Yet, despite the fact that changing people's behavior is such an important skill for managers, too many are unsure how to actually go about it. This book reveals the simple, but powerful techniques for changing behavior that experts from a range of disciplines have been using for years, making them available to all managers in a single and comprehensive toolkit for change that managers can use to drive and improve the performance of their staff. Based on research conducted for this book, it introduces practical techniques drawn from the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, and behavioral economics, and show how they can be applied to address some of the most common, every-day challenges that managers face. #changingpeople
Changing Faith: Questions, Doubts and Choices About an Unchanging God
by Michael HidalgoA friend of mine told me recently, "There are so many things I am not comfortable with claiming as 100% true, but I cannot say they are 100% false either." It hasn't always been this way for him. Most of his life he believed he had all the answers to any and all of life's difficult questions. He continued, "I do not know what is ahead, but I do know I cannot and will not go back to the faith I have clung to for decades. I am done with it." This was not his declaration of being done with faith, but his recognition that faith had to change. He was going through a change of faith. Many of us are grappling with similar questions. How much can we actually know about God and our world? Who decides what is right and what is wrong? Are right and wrong even the best categories for our world anymore? Whose "truth" is really true? Do I need God to live a life that matters? We have questions not because we reject faith in God, but because we live in a rapidly changing world of new realities, new technology and new insights that demand new answers. And that changes how we believe.
Changing Forward
by Bishop Paul MortonWell known bishop and church leader Paul S. Morton Sr. draws on the Old Testament story of the Israelite's exodus from Egypt and time honored spiritual principles and truths to explore how God's power and presence can bring about much-needed spiritual change. First, spiritual change does not come easily and is often preceded by conflict, as well as strife as believers strive to recognize their own internal struggle. Morton argues that "ground zero" for any spiritual change first happens within. Second, spiritual change must happen at wider level. It requires the members of the community as a whole to shift their thinking, restructure the desires of their hearts, and restore their souls to the point of being one with God. Third, once the community experiences spiritual change, the gate is open for the final step--spiritual growth. This essential step not only results in enriched, progressive intimacy with God, but it also has a lingering effect that fosters and begins the cycle anew in others who desire that same intimacy. In essence, spiritual change eventually becomes a spiritual trait that gets handed down to future generations.

Changing Reality
by Serge Kahili King"Reality is experience, and experience is reality," says Hawaiian shaman Serge King, speaking of Huna, the esoteric tradition in which he was reared.King emphasizes that all of us have the ability to shift from one world to another. The difference is that shamans do it purposefully, while the rest of us are unaware of it. He trains us to engage in the process consciously in order to expand our human potential. Among books on Huna, this one is unique for offering actual practices for changing our reality to create the life we want.In a user-friendly, conversational style, King's chapters explain the four worlds of a shaman and basic Huna principles. Then, citing case studies, he guides us in how to change reality in each of the four worlds, bringing in ESP, telepathy, the perception of auras, telekinesis, dreaming, magical flight, and, finally, soul retrieval and the great power of healing."It sounds simple," says King, "and it is. The most difficult part is to accept the simplicity, because that means changing one's idea about what reality is. And that's what this book is all about."
Changing Shoes

Well, no one knows more about reinvention and perseverance than an actress who began her career as the star of a show-and then became the mother of the star, and then the grandmother of the star-all while raising a son, taking care of her aging parents, and sustaining a happy marriage. In Changing Shoes, Tina Sloan tells her story through humorous anecdotes about the shoes she has worn throughout her personal and professional life (from her college-girl pink Capezios to her first pair of Chanel pumps, to her white high heels and fitted nurse's uniform, to old sneakers and modern nurse's scrubs). Sloan imparts warm, relatable advice to which all women can relate, including looks, love lives and sexuality, careers, families, and sense of self. .

Changing the Food Game: Market Transformation Strategies for Sustainable Agriculture
by Lucas SimonsBy 2050, the world’s population is estimated to grow to 10 billion. To feed everyone, we will have to double our food production, to produce more food in the next 40 years than in the whole of the last 6,000. Changing the Food Game shows how our unsustainable food production system cannot support this growth. In this prescient book, Lucas Simons argues that the biggest challenge for our generation can only be solved by effective market transformation to achieve sustainable agriculture and food production. Lucas Simons explains clearly how we have created a production and trading system that is inherently unsustainable. But he also demonstrates that we have reason to be hopeful – from a sustainability race in the cocoa industry to examples of market transformation taking place in palm oil, timber, and sugarcane production. He also poses the question: where next? Provocative and eye-opening, Changing the Food Game uncovers the real story of how our food makes it on to our plates and presents a game-changing solution to revolutionize the industry.

Chantaje emocional: Cuando Las Personas Utilizan El Miedo, La Obligación Y El Sentimiento De Culpa Para Manipularte (Crecimiento Personal Ser.)
by Susan ForwardEsta obra parte del principio de que todos manipulamos hasta cierto nivel, pero el chantaje emocional es un nivel aún mayor. Quien chantajea se aprovecha de los miedos de la otra persona para hacerla sentir culpable u obligada a cumplir con sus exigencias. El chantaje emocional es una poderosa forma de manipulación por medio de la cual las personas a nuestro alrededor amenazan con castigarnos si no hacemos lo que quieren que hagamos. Los chantajistas emocionales saben cuánto los valoramos, y conocen lo que nos hace vulnerables y nuestros secretos más íntimos. Pueden ser nuestros padres o hermanos, nuestros jefes o compañeros de trabajo, nuestros amigos o amantes. Sin importar cuán importantes seamos para ellos, se valen de todo lo que saben de nosotros para conseguir lo que quieren: que siempre cedamos. En Chantaje emocional, Susan Forward disecciona la anatomía de una relación dañada por la manipulación para proporcionar las herramientas necesarias a quienes son objeto de chantaje para contraatacar. Con su estilo claro y sin rodeos, Susan Forward describe los pasos a seguir por los lectores, ofreciéndoles diversas herramientas -listas, escenarios prácticos y técnicas concretas de comunicación- que fortalecerán las relaciones y romperán el ciclo del chantaje de una vez por todas. "Forward, quien nos dio el gran bestseller Cuando el amor es odio, nos ofrece un curso de autodefensa para cualquiera que se encuentre manipulado a través de la culpa." Library Journal "¡Siéntete aliviado! Susan Forward te ayuda a identificar y a corregir un patrón destructivo y confuso sobre la forma en que nos relacionamos con aquellos que amamos."

This exclusive part of society, the participants of some kind of occultism, utilize psychic engineering´s mechanism to manipulate results, a random event, a person, a soccer game, a sexual encounter, a destiny, all of it to earn money, a lot of money, on any way possible.
