Executive Presence: The Missing Link Between Merit and Success
by Sylvia Ann HewlettDo you exude confidence and credibility? Can you command a room? Sylvia Ann Hewlett, one of the world's most influential business thinkers, cracks the code of Executive Presence (EP) for men and women intent on winning the next plum assignment and doing something extraordinary with their lives.You might have the qualifications to be considered for your dream job, but you won't get far unless you can signal that you're "leadership material" and that you "have what it takes." Professionals are judged on presence as well as on performance. Using a wealth of hard data--including a new nationwide survey and dozens of focus groups--Hewlett reveals EP to be a dynamic mix of three things: how you act (gravitas), how you speak (communication), and how you look (appearance). She also draws on in-depth interviews with a wide selection of admired leaders to reveal how they embody and deploy key elements of EP. This book is immensely practical. Hewlett teases out tactics that can help you raise your game and close the gap between merit and success. She offers the unvarnished advice you won't get from supportive friends and tackles head-on such touchy subjects as too-tight clothing and too-shrill voices. She shows how the standards for EP vary for men, women, multicultural, and LGBT employees, and she shares how to get meaningful feedback from politically correct bosses intent on avoiding the real issues. The good news is that EP is eminently teachable. You can learn how to "show teeth" while remaining likable, and you can teach yourself how to dress appropriately while staying true to yourself. You don't have to be born with the voice of James Earl Jones or the looks of Angelina Jolie to hurdle the EP bar. With hard facts and vivid examples, Hewlett shows you how to ace EP and fully realize your unique potential--no matter who you are, no matter where you work.

Executive Coaching for Results: The Definitive Guide to Developing Organizational Leaders
by Brian O. Underhill John J. Koriath Kimcee McanallyOffering practical learning, best practices, and illuminating case studies, Executive Coaching for Results is the first definitive guide to the effective use of executive coaching in the corporate environment. In contrast to the soft,academic, or sometimes scattershot resources currently available, Executive Coaching for Results draws on rigorous and extensive research of those now using coaching to positive, quantifiable results. The content and inspiration for the book grew from a 2005 Rapid Cycle Research project conducted by Executive Development Associates, Inc. The project brought Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies together in a research consortium that examined the coaching industry from the perspectives of organizations, leaders being coached, and coaches, resulting in a rich mixture of qualitative and quantitative data. Forty-five in-depth interviews were conducted across the three perspectives (19 organizations, 13 leaders, 13 executive coaches). A web-based survey achieved breadth, being completed by 48 organizations, 86 leaders (from 25 companies) and 152 coaches. As a result, the book features illuminating research and best practices from many name-brand organizations, like Dell, Sony, Wal-Mart, Intel, BP, Unilever, General Mills, and Fidelity Investments.
Excuses Begone!: How To Change Lifelong, Self-defeating Thinking Habits
by Wayne W. DyerIn Excuses Begone! Dr. Wayne W. Dyer reveals how to change lifelong, self-defeating thinking patterns that prevent you from living at the highest levels of success, happiness, and health. You may know what to think but find it terribly difficult to change thinking habits that have been with you since childhood. This business of changing habituated thinking patterns is really the business of eliminating the same old tired excuses. People are forever using excuses and defending those excuse patterns as if they were actually true. Such statements as It would be very difficult for me to change . . . If I changed, it would create family dramas . . . I’m too old or too young to change . . . I’ve always been this way . . . It’s in my DNA so I can’t change . . . I can’t afford the things I truly want and I’ve always been this way are all excuses that are used regularly without challenging the truth of these thinking habits. When you eliminate excuses that explain your shortcomings or failures, you’ll awaken to your infinite possibilities. Removing the excuses involves examining these thinking habits under a new and truthful light. In this groundbreaking work, Wayne presents a compendium of conscious and subconscious excuses employed by virtually everyone, along with a new paradigm that guides you to put those excuses to rest once and for all. You’ll learn to apply specific questions to any excuse, and then proceed through the steps of the Excuses Begone! paradigm. The old habituated ways of thinking will melt away as you experience the joy of releasing excuses and the absurdity of hanging on to them. There are no excuses worth defending ever, even if they’ve always been part of your life. This book represents Wayne’s effort to help anyone whose self-defeating thoughts are persistently present, learn how to discard those old thinking habits, and discover the infinite possibilities of life!

Exactly As I Am
by Shaun RobinsonEntertainment reporter and author Shaun Robinson has spoken candidly both on camera and behind the scenes with countless celebrities. Consequently, she has received hundreds of emails and letters from girls across the country asking how they can be more like their favorite stars. But the truth is, these actors, singers, athletes, and media and political figures are remarkably similar to teenage girls in essential ways: They all still struggle with issues of self-esteem and body image and doubt, and they all, at some point, have compared themselves with their peers and felt they came up short. In Exactly As I Am, Robinson shares both the honest comments she's heard from young women and the heartfelt and encouraging advice she's been in the rare position to glean from today's most notable women. The result is a book that will inspire girls to find their inner strength, grow confident, and believe in themselves. Actress Eva Mendes talks about how she persevered in the face of rejection: "Surrounding myself with people who love and support me has been my key to success"; Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Alicia Keys suggests that the answer to a healthy self-image lies in new definitions: "We need more variety in how we depict beauty and define intelligence--there's so much more than what is often featured"; Kelly Clarkson turns the tables on so-called imperfection: "The flaws and vulnerability are what make people attractive"; and Vanessa Williams suggests a way out of the trap of taking things personally: "Next time someone rolls their eyes at you or says an unkind word about you, think about what they could be insecure about. " Through this rich tapestry of voices, women of all ages, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds explore how to stay grounded and develop positive self-esteem, something Robinson calls your ticket to freedom and making your dreams come true. They also discuss the importance of mentors and friends, being able to laugh at oneself, and giving back to others. The collected wisdom of shared experiences in Exactly As I Am is designed to give every girl and woman the opportunity to dream big, stay strong, and remain true to herself.
