Book Description

Excel Under Pressure Diamond Goldfish uncovers how business is a game. It's a guide for driving sales and deepening client relationships. Based on the Diamond Rule, over 150 case studies, and the science-backed framework of Market Force, the book provides perspective and tools for winning in sales and client management. The book consists of three main sections: Section I outlines the Why. Here we explore our metaphor of the Diamond Goldfish. We'll share the reasoning behind the diamond as a metaphor and the symbolism of the goldfish. The section will also explore our human biology, examine the impact of pressure, and uncover the four behavioral styles (Control, Influence, Power, and Authority). Section II explains the What. Here we share the process of leveraging the Diamond Rule. We'll uncover how to M.I.N.E. for diamonds with the four-step process of Mindset, Identify, Neutralize, and Empathize. Section III showcases the How. We explore each stage of the sales process using Market Force principles. First, we'll examine the Big Picture. Then we'll look in turn at setting the foundation, hosting the first meeting, and working the sale. We reveal how to acknowledge success and set-up for the next go-around. We'll finish the section by discussing the Diamond Rule Matrix, a quick reference guide to assess how your behavioral style works best with each of the four styles. Praise for Diamond Goldfish "In a clever, practical, tactical, and biological (yes, biological) framework, Diamond Goldfish will help you to recognize four different types of stakeholders you meet with when you are selling. You'll also discover their primary response to pressure, as well as how to best to resolve their concerns." - ANTHONY IANNARINO, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR OF THE ONLY SALES GUIDE YOU'LL EVER NEED, EAT THEIR LUNCH, AND THE LOST ART OF CLOSING "If put into practice on a wide scale, this brilliant Diamond Rule concept has the potential to revolutionize how business relationships work, producing improved results for everyone involved, both emotionally and financially." - STEVE SIPRESS, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF CEO SCOTTSDALE AND SUCCESSFUL SELLING SYSTEMS, INC Ready to upgrade your humanware and achieve prosperity in business?

Book Description

If you want your business to grow, you need to be able to rely on your ability to hire talent reliably and consistently. No talent pipeline? No growth, and no business. But your recruiting team is drowning (I asked them). They need help. Now, if you ask recruiters, they will ask for headcount. Or more technology. But more bodies and more tools won't solve the issue (though it will eat up your budget). What you need a is a better strategy. And that strategy is called employer branding.Employer branding is about understanding, distilling and communicating what your company is all about in order to attract all the talent you need. That will differentiate your company as a place where people will want to work, rather than a place they land because they didn't know better.If you've heard about employer branding in business magazines, it might seem like something only "big companies" can do. Something that requires a dedicated team, expensive platforms, or a bunch of consultants. That isn't true. If you understand where your brand comes from, and how to apply it, any company (especially yours) can hire better with it.And this book will teach you how to do all of that, and then some.In this book, you'll learn what employer branding really is, how to make a compelling argument internally to leadership that creates commitment, how to work with other teams and be creative in finding solutions. As a special bonus, we are including a handbook on how to work with recruiting teams. This hands-on workbook is chock full of examples, checklists, step-by-step instructions and even emails you can copy and paste to make things happen immediately.

Book Description

Unlocking the 15 Keys to Employee Engagement Green Goldfish 2.0 is based on the simple premise that employees are the key drivers of customer experience and that "Happy Employees Create Happy Customers." The book focuses on 15 different ways to drive employee engagement and reinforce a strong corporate culture. The book is based on the findings of the Green Goldfish Project, an effort which crowdsourced over 1,001 examples of signature added value for employees. Key themes emerged from the Project and the book is filled with over 200 examples. Creating Green Goldfish in your organization provides three benefits: 1. Differentiation - Doing little extras provide a tangible way to stand out in a sea of sameness. The little extra gives the company a "remark"able difference or set of signature differences. 2. Retention - If you keep employees happy, they tend to stick around longer. 3. Word of mouth - By creating a culture that attracts talent, you can become a desired place to work. The result is that you'll get more "A" players. The book is broken into three main sections: Section I: Here we outline the "Why" This part of our book explores the reasons for focusing on engagement and where the metaphor of a Goldfish originated. Section II: This is where we explore the "Ingredients" We'll uncover the five R.U.L.E.S. for creating a Green Goldfish: Relevant, Unexpected, Limited, Expressive and Sticky. Section III: The "What" Here we share the 15 different types of Green Goldfish and the categories they fall under: the three B's: Building, Belonging, and Becoming. Praise for Green Goldfish 2.0: "So often overlooked, and so very vital to building company value... empowering employees to support each other and the brand. Green Goldfish 2.0 will walk you step-by-step through achieving this critical goal." - TED RUBIN, AUTHOR OF RETURN ON RELATIONSHIP "Green Goldfish 2.0 shows how to manage employees by commitment and not control. Bravo " - BARRY MOLTZ, AUTHOR OF BAM, BOUNCE, AND GETTING BUSINESS UNSTUCK "Green Goldfish 2.0 takes customer service to a whole new level by focusing on EMPLOYEE service, and how to do well by your employees - so they take care of your customers. Packed with stories, insights and R.U.L.E.S. any company can follow, this book is a must-read for managers of companies of all shapes and sizes who know that employees don't leave jobs--they leave managers, especially when they don't feel your love and appreciation. Pick this up, and start engaging your team and making more GREEN " - PHIL GERBYSHAK, AUTHOR OF THE NAKED TRUTH OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Book Description

How do we know if we're following our true callings? How do we sharpen our senses to cut through the distractions of everyday reality and hear the calls that are beckoning us? is the first book to examine the many kinds of calls we receive and the great variety of channels through which they come to us. A calling may be to do something (change careers, go back to school, have a child) or to be something (more creative, less judgmental, more loving). While honoring a calling's essential mystery, this book also guides readers to ask and answer the fundamental questions that arise from any calling: How do we recognize it? How do we distinguish the true call from the siren song? How do we handle our resistance to a call? What happens when we say yes? What happens when we say no? Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and powerful stories of people who have followed their own calls, Gregg Levoy shows us the many ways to translate a calling into action. In a style that is poetic, exuberant, and keenly insightful, he presents an illuminating and ultimately practical inquiry into how we listen and respond to our calls, whether at work or at home, in our relationships or in service. Callings is a compassionate guide to discovering your own callings and negotiating the tight passages to personal power and authenticity.

Book Description

When Betty MacDonald married a marine and moved to a small chicken farm on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, she was largely unprepared for the rigors of life in the wild. With no running water, no electricity, a house in need of constant repair, and days that ran from four in the morning to nine at night, the MacDonalds had barely a moment to put their feet up and relax. And then came the children. Yet through every trial and pitfall—through chaos and catastrophe—this indomitable family somehow, mercifully, never lost its sense of humor. A beloved literary treasure for more than half a century, Betty MacDonald's The Egg and I is a heartwarming and uproarious account of adventure and survival on an American frontier.

Book Description

This early work by Radclyffe Hall was originally published in 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Well of Loneliness' is a novel that follows an upper-class Englishwoman who falls in love with another woman while serving as an ambulance driver in World War I. Marguerite Radclyffe Hall was born on 12th August 1880, in Bournemouth, England. Hall's first novel The Unlit Lamp (1924) was a lengthy and grim tale that proved hard to sell. It was only published following the success of the much lighter social comedy The Forge (1924), which made the best-seller list of John O'London's Weekly. Hall is a key figure in lesbian literature for her novel The Well of Loneliness (1928). This is her only work with overt lesbian themes and tells the story of the life of a masculine lesbian named Stephen Gordon.

Phil Factor (real name witheld to protest the guilty) has over 20 years experience in the IT industry, specializing in database-intensive applications. For withering insight into the human weaknesses and farcical levels of ineptitude that bring IT projects to their knees, plus occasional escapes into burnished pastiche and cock-a-leg doggerel there is no funnier, more illuminating commentary on the IT crowd.

Book Description

This fully revised and updated edition of Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge recognizes that the future of economic well being in today's knowledge and information society rests upon the effectiveness of schools and corporations to empower their people to be more effective learners and knowledge creators. Novak’s pioneering theory of education presented in the first edition remains viable and useful.

The theory is easy to put into practice, since it includes resources to facilitate the process, especially concept maps, now optimised by CMapTools software. CMapTools software is highly intuitive and easy to use. People who have until now been reluctant to use the new technologies in their professional lives are will find this book particularly helpful. Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge is essential reading for educators at all levels and corporate managers who seek to enhance worker productivity.
