| Article Title :: Manager's Reference - 'The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook' by Peter Senge |
| |
| This is a different iteration of the original book 'The Fifth Discipline', (both are by Peter Senge) - itself a breakthough book.The work Senge created in the Fieldbook version is practical and do-able, with the focus on individual exercises in as wide a range of management applications as you could need. I think it's a leap ahead of the original for that reason.That being said, there are some more up to date areas that have evolved, such as, for example, Succession Planning, but with the vast array of components in this book, many of these will be covered off anyway.For anyone who wants both a dip-in workbook as well as a groundbreaking co (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The 20-Minute Break |
| |
| I am reading a book recommended by a woman in my Small Group Coaching Program called "The 20-Minute Break", by Ernest Rossi.This book is based on 2 decades of research testing on human performance. What the researchers found was that our bodies periodically give us physiological clues about how to stay energetic, healthy and productive.This research describes the “ultradian rhythms”, which are the 90 to 120-minute cycles that most of our key mind-body systems follow. Our creativity, alertness, emotional balance, physical energy and appetites all follow a wave-like cycle of activity followed by a short period in which the body seeks rest and renewal.Most of us negl (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Media Training 101: A Guide to Meeting the Press - Book Review |
| |
| When being interviewed by media, it is tempting to do a `brain dump,' and give them as much information as you can. This can backfire, though. Faced with an information overload, the journalist has to pick-and-choose through all the data to construct her story. She probably has room only for a few of your points, and she may not choose the ones that you would like.Politicians understand this. When they do interviews, they focus on `talking points.' The politician prepares by selecting three or four points they want to get across during the interview. The preparation allows them to get their message across clearly and succinctly.You should do something similar to this to prep (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Be Your Own Publicist with "From Book to Bestseller" by Penny Sansevieri |
| |
| What are three words that authors hate to hear? Promotion, promotion, promotion! A writer is someone who generally prefers to stay locked away in a small writing studio (perhaps in an undisclosed tropical location), to speaking in front of crowds, answering questions on national radio, or God forbid, have their un-photogenic faces filmed beside Oprah’s! But these are all fears that must be overcome in order to reach that coveted title of “bestselling author.” The task is made even more terrifying when you are a self-published author with little or no PR experience and no one to represent you. Because let’s face it, the majority of self-published authors can’t afford a publicist (read full article) |

| Article Title :: I Just Reviewed "The ProfitBrat!" Package |
| |
| Ok, so I got suckered into buying this because of the marketing materials and the promises that were made, but I'm not entirely dissatisfied. In fact I'm kind of happy with the purchase and will probably use the package as a reference guide for a while to come.I bought it to test drive it and see if there was anything to the profitbrats claims. I spent a good part of the weekend reading it and the 3 bonus books by Harvey Segal, which turned out to be excellent too. (Harvey is a well known name in this industry and well respected)There are 7 books in the package (4 and the 3 bonus books) the first book "The three profit generators" is a little spacey and unfocused. I think it (read full article) |
