  This book will help the reader plan  every meeting with AUDIENCE MINDSET top of mind, begin every  meeting with an IMMEDIATELY INVOLVING ACTIVITY or discussion that  unifies the group, locate the KEY POINTS in the meeting to  FACILITATE and INVOLVE, rather than lecture and present  information, USE EASY-TO-IMPLEMENT facilitative techniques with ANY  TYPE OF PARTICIPANT (job roles, levels, backgrounds, gender,  culture, attitude, and FOLLOW UP to every intervention with clarity  and speed.       TABLE OF CONTENTS  I.                     HEARD  ON THE STREETS (and from their seats)  Why todays  meetings are so bad and what to do about it. Why involve? Why ask?  Who cares? The psychology and group-ology of  involvement; the benefits of skilled facilitation for todays  meeting and for todays leader.  II.                  ORGANIC  FACILITATION  How to be comfortable with this new skill, how  to make it look easy, and how to be useful to the audience. Like  organic food, its less known, healthier, and takes time to  perfect, but it is the result that makes it most  valuable.  III.                THE  FOURTH WALL  To borrow from a theatrical term, allowing the  fourth wall (that invisible wall that separates the  audience from the actors). This wall also exists between presenters  and their audiences unless it is opened up through dialogue, doing  so early and often, and setting up the entire meeting for  success.  IV.               HAVE  FUN ONE BY ONE AND ONE HUNDREDUsing the experts and the  expertise among you to achieve more than before. Include and  connect and you will engage memory and action for results unheard  of in ordinary meetings.  V.                  DIALOGUE  NOT MONOLOGUE (or worse, DUALOGUE)  The accent is on how  conversation and facilitation skills intertwine, how to keep our  largely introverted professional population involved in the  conversation of the meeting purpose, and, of course, what to do  when they do talk, contribute, and even argue.  VI.               THE  SET UP  How to set up discussion topics and activities  gently, so people really do them instead of  complaining or going silent! What groups of 6 and 600 have in  common when it comes to getting involved with you. Every member of  your audience and team is a value interpreter and as such they are  the sole experts on your meeting skills and are the  ones to take the message and do something with itor  not!  VII.             LISTEN  LIVE - How to borrow from the best talk show hosts  to really listen one on one and among the group with or  without a microphone and with or without being seen.  VIII.          GO  WITH IT - As the improvisation artist learns, go with the flow   what they give you in the form of response  and feedback; how not to over-think your answers; the power of the  facilitators listening skills; the mindset of the  facilitative leader with results in mind.  IX.               ITS  ABOUT THE AUDIENCE, ALWAYS! What a 91 year old nursing home  resident knows about audience needs, and in fact what we all know  from our audience seat. Its just that we forget it all when  we step to the front of the room. How to operate from a mindset of  experience not content, how to keep the falicy of  perfection from infecting a great meeting, and how to avoid  death by committee when planning a meaningful  experience.  X.                  YIKES!  A WHOLE ROOM FULL OF  Special strategies for audiences of  one type: volunteers, one gender, culture, job role, age group, and  professional introverts!  TWO SPECIAL SECTIONS THROUGHOUT THE  BOOK:  1.       THE  COACH COMMENTS. Throughout the book a personalized  coach helps the reader with answers to common  questions, specific scenarios, and nightmare experiences from the  past. The coach is accustomed to these Ya,  but type questions and helps to clarify the text,  calm the fear, and allow the reader to take the next right step.  The coach will guide, reassure, help, and  detail.  2.       INTERVIEWS

  One of the greatest reasons for building a targeted mailing list is in your ability to automate your profits. 
  Not only will email marketing help to secure your position within the most profitable markets, but once you’ve gone through the initial “building phase”. you can literally set it on autopilot, forget all about it and it will continue generating profits for months, even years to come! 
  One of the biggest mistakes that new email marketers make is in looking at their email campaign as a “broadcast only” resource. 
  Instead of setting up a fully automated back-end, they focus only on the “front end”, which usually includes offering an incentive, motivating visitors into becoming subscribers and then sending out ocassional broadcasts promoting products, or delivering free content. 
  But the REAL power in email marketing is then completely overlooked! 
  You see. your autoresponder account is designed to populate your mailing list with fresh content, all on complete autopilot. It’s not useful just in making money from front-end offers, but instead, you can set up a powerful. unstoppable PRE-LOADED system that continues to deliver content and promotes products, even when you are nowhere near your computer!

  From the world’s #1 body language expert* comes the essential audiobook for decoding human behavior 
  “The ultimate body language reference. I’ll be both referring to and recommending this book on a daily basis for many years to come.” —Amy Cuddy 
  Joe Navarro has spent a lifetime observing others. For 25 years, as a Special Agent for the FBI, he conducted and supervised interrogations of spies and other dangerous criminals, honing his mastery of nonverbal communication. After retiring from the bureau, he has become a sought-after public speaker and consultant, and an internationally bestselling author. Now, a decade after his groundbreaking book What Every BODY is Saying, Navarro returns with his most ambitious work yet. The Dictionary of Body Language is a pioneering “field guide” to nonverbal communication, describing and explaining the more than 400 behaviors that will allow you to gauge anyone’s true intentions. 
  Moving from the head down to the feet, Navarro reveals the hidden meanings behind the many conscious and subconscious things we do. Readers will learn how to tell a person’s actual feelings from subtle changes in their pupils; the lip behaviors that betray concerns or hidden information; the many different varieties of arm posturing, and what each one means; how the position of our thumbs when we stand akimbo reflects our mental state; and many other fascinating insights to help you both read others and change their perceptions of you. 
  Listeners will turn to The Dictionary Body Language again and again—a body language bible for anyone looking to understand what their boss really means, interpret whether a potential romantic partner is interested or not, and learn how to put themselves forward in the most favorable light.

  Boards That Lead - When to Take...

  Is your firm's board creating value—or destroying it? 
   
   
   
  Change is coming. Leadership at the top is being redefined as boards take a more active role in decisions that once belonged solely to the CEO. But for all the advantages of increased board engagement, it can create debilitating questions of authority and dangerous meddling in day-to-day operations. Directors need a new road map—for when to lead, when to partner, and when to stay out of the way. 
   
   
   
  Boardroom veterans Ram Charan, Dennis Carey, and Michael Useem advocate this new governance model—a sharp departure from what has been demanded by governance activists, raters, and regulators—and reveal the emerging practices that are defining shared leadership of directors and executives. Based on personal interviews and the authors' broad and deep experience working with executives and directors from dozens of the world's largest firms, Boards That Lead tells the inside story behind the successes and pitfalls of this new leadership model and explains how to define the central idea of the company; ensure that the right CEO is in place and potential successors are identified; recruit directors who add value; root out board dysfunction; select a board leader who deftly bridges the divide between management and the board; and set a high bar on ethics and risk.
