Goal Setting for Success

Most people spend at least a little time daydreaming about their goals – fantasy jobs, lifestyles and scenarios – at one point or another. For most people, though, this is where it stops. Most people won’t actually do anything to really investigate, analyse and understand their goals and to make plans to achieve them. If you’ve downloaded this e-book, then it’s pretty safe to say that you want to set yourself some life and career goals … and you want to do so in a way that goes well beyond what most other people do. In essence, the principles of goal setting – and the ones we’ll work though in this book – are pretty simple: define your goals, make a plan to achieve them, follow the plan.

 

 

The Myths and Realities of Teamwork

In this book, the author, David Wright, sets out to share 30 years of his team building experience in organisations. The myths and realities of teamwork will be told through a series of milestones (chapters) on a journey to high performance using 32 case studies and 37 illustrations. The initial part of the team journey will focus on basic steps in building the team and this may feel mechanistic; however, as the book unfolds, you will experience more challenging skills and processes that will enable you and your team to achieve high performance. The book also aims to help mature teams recapture that early enthusiasm and respect you may have witnessed when the team was new.

 

 

Creating Authentic Assertion

This third and final book in our assertion trilogy creates an exciting climax to every day assertive challenges and offers a manageable set of strategies for a long-lasting change in our behaviour.  Having read the first two books, with a degree of knowledge, understanding and faith, we are ready to embrace new ways of thinking, feeling and acting and begin to experience new results that can propel us forward in this fast-paced business world. Individually, each book explores the pieces of our personal and leadership effectiveness jigsaw.  Together they take us on a journey of self-discovery that broadens our mind to the magic of self-awareness, high self-esteem and sustainable change that generates a route-map for success.

 

 

Using Social Media for Personal Gain

Social media tools are used by businesses for marketing, brand awareness, education and to provide customer service. News agencies use social media as another medium to broadcast news and promote their brand. Celebrities use social media as a way of keeping in contact with their fans. Social media is being used by recruiters looking for somebody to fulfil a position. The purpose of this eBook is to give you an introduction to the terminology surrounding social media, explain the differences between varieties of social media tools and get you started using the main tools for your personal use. The focus of the eBook is how to get the most out of social media for your personal use; it does not include the way businesses can use social media for marketing.
