My Scandalous Little Rule Book aims to show readers how to avoid compromise and the "abyss of mediocrity." Society is obsessed with the notion that in order to be happy, we have to find our "soul mate."Jacquie is driven to debunk this myth and, as illustrated by her first "rule", proves that the key to a life filled with love, happiness, purpose and passion lies in being your own soul mate!

We don't need to find our soul mate; we need to be our own soul mate -- a critical key message for this book. My Scandalous Little Rule Book inspires readers to embark on the journey of self-trust, embrace opportunities fearlessly, reject conformity and start living an exciting, adventurous life.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Most people want partners in their personal lives, and many businesses start with some form of partnership structure. Yet so many personal and professional partnerships disintegrate, sometimes quickly. That's one reason why our own partnership seems so amazing, even miraculous, to people who know us. "How do you do it?" they constantly ask. "How have you spent so many years living and working together 24/7 without killing each other?" A general business/how-we-did-it-book, Smart Partners outlines the methods and thinking we've used to achieve financial success while also keeping our personal partnership alive and interesting. Drawing on our unique experiences both personally and professionally, we present principles for building, sustaining, and growing not merely serviceable relationships in business and life, but true partnerships. Partnerships are a big deal-not just specific partnerships, but the very idea of partnership. That's why, from the very inception of a relationship, partners should proceed slowly, cautiously, thoughtfully, going "all in," and doing whatever they can to keep the relationship vibrant and healthy. They should honor their relationship at every turn, and with all their strength. No matter what business you're in you can transcend your sense of "me" to create a very powerful "we." It's a matter of concentrating on partnership, committing to it, and embracing the right practices-such as choosing your partner well, negotiating proper roles, planning for your mutual success, and adjusting so as to overcome challenges as they arise. Fundamentally, it's about looking beyond yourself so as to share business and life with another person. None of this is easy, of course, but it's so worth it. Read our stories, learn our partnership principles, and apply them to your life. We think you'll discover what we have long known: We is better than me. And the truth is, anyone can be a smart partner.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Leading a professional service firm is difficult enough in good times, and it is all the more risky in difficult ones. In Leading Firms: How Great Professional Service Firms Succeed and How Your Firm Can Too David Kuhlman, a highly respected management consultant to many of the world's top firms, gives an informed view on how those in professional services can achieve the same success as best-in-class firms. Most businesses claim that people are their most important asset, but Kuhlman explains that professional service firms are unique because their entire value chain consists of people who must differentiate themselves from competitors who often offer the same product in similar ways with near-identical messaging. From the author's examination of why it's more difficult to implement change than in a traditional business, to his analysis of the challenges of rising above the competition, he offers a comprehensive guide to the special dynamics of the professional services firm. Kuhlman covers in striking detail the aspects of the daily dealing with clients and markets as well as the planning and implementation of long-term strategy that leading a firm requires. This book is divided into three parts. The first lays out foundations of success for any firm; this includes developing an effective strategy and also delivering consistent revenue, maintaining quality and maintaining profitability. The second section puts a strong focus on the capabilities that great firms possess as opposed to firms that are just merely good. This includes managing talent, delivering growth, and establishing brand synergy. The last part is about the practices and values necessary to develop a high-performing culture of professionals, one that continually nourishes the growth of superior talent while successfully managing client relationships and expectations. Leading Firms is perfect for anyone who wants to explore their firm's potential and to better understand how the most successful firms in their industry arrived at their positions of leadership.

Paperback. Condizione: New. We negotiate more frequently than we realize not only in the workplace but also with family, friends and neighbors. Negotiation is like breathing, which we do all the time-although we seldom take the initiative to learn proper breathing techniques. Likewise, we fail to acquire skills for a meaningful and efficient way to negotiate. Here, in pursuit of developing our skills, we approach the subject from our spiritual core, our authentic self that is conscious of our inner connectedness. In doing so, we are aware that even though terms such as haggling and bargaining are synonymously used with negotiation, they are vastly different.Enlightened NegotiationT introduces a new vocabulary, a new set of practical tools, and an expansive new perspective on the familiar concept of "win-win"negotiations. It draws on basic spiritual principles revered by many wisdom traditions to transcend the competitive or combative model of dispute-resolution and instead tap the natural power of divine potential -the innate desire of the human spirit to connect, communicate, and co-create solutions that move all parties forward and upward as one. The 8 Spiritual Laws of Negotiation: Trust, Intention, Communication, Strength, Flexibility, Mindfulness, Manifestation and Reflection, provide a new paradigm for the emerging generation of conscious entrepreneurs. It shows how to bridge the worlds of materiality (business, money), governance (personal, family, community), and spirituality (actualization of our authentic self). The significance of number 8 is that it represents Prosperity. It also represents infinity, continuity, and karma. The effects of negotiation linger well beyond any immediate agreement. Enlightened NegotiationT fills the void between business, spiritually oriented and research supported methods and is as applicable to family and personal relationships as it is to business and even global conflict situations requiring negotiated resolutions.
