  Power dynamics in the workplace are a given.
   
  For those in leadership, the imbalance of power often leads to feeling frustrated, undervalued, and overlooked-especially in women and minorities-impacting both self-esteem and the bottom line.
   
  For those feeling alone and unsure of how to respond, Power Up Power Down gives specific strategies to (finally) reclaim control and identifies proven ways to create a ‘win-win” outcome.
   
  Too often, power situations can feel like a “rock and a hard place” – if you’re too assertive, you’re labeled (at best) as overbearing and unapproachable. If you’re too passive, your voice, ideas, and opinions are ignored. But as Viktor Frankl stated, “Between stimulus and response, there is a space.” Our “real” power is knowing how to tap into that space and respond intentionally.
   
  Gail Rudolph helps readers discover how to harness their innate interpersonal power, revealing cues and signals that helps us respond effectively.
   
  By recognizing the ways to value all people (including yourself), you can make a choice to become empowered!

  Social Media - Best Practices

  Social Media is good term for one on one communication with customers and a critical emphasis for survival and productive efforts by all organizations, profit, non-profit, education, government, and unions. Marketers have long done this with ads, coupons, in-store discounts, premiums, and other such things. Now many are drilling down and capture names, emails, and individual information. This audiobook emphasizes how to empower these customers and potential customers to reach out to your organization in a two way dialogue, much like the old Greek Marketplace where people talked one on one, got ideas, and they were passed along. Social Media emphasizes best practices, how to listen until it hurts, how to modify one's perspective and that of your organization. From this, for example, Simply Magazine learned to feature audiobooks versus software, lecture length versus longer length except in fiction, and emphasize subject matters such as self-development and health that customers wanted to listen to. Simply Magazine learned to price at 4.99; high enough for value and low enough for impulse pricing--in the eyes of their customers.  Social Media makes the point: let the customer lead you by listening closely to them, daily, adjusting as you learn more. Best practices emphasizes: What does the customer want? Are you providing it? Are you getting out of the way so the customer can get what they want? Coke did this masterfully when returning to Old Coke after listening to their customers anger about new Coke. This decision turned anger to applause. Apple does this continually under Steve Jobs, but not before his time when they stonewalled the customer after he left and before he came back. Mediocrity was the result. Social Media best practices can help you recover from errors such as Coke made and capitalize on opportunities as Steve Jobs has, but not his predecessors--by listening and responding using Social Media best practices. Keywords: Social Media, Coke, Greek Marketplace, discounts, premiums, communication.

  Marshall McLuhan (1911 - 1980) was a Canadian professor, philosopher, and bestselling author. He made major contributions to the study of media theory. McLuhan is well-known for his expression "the medium is the message," from his 1964 book, "Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man." He also popularized the term “global village,” and he predicted the World Wide Web almost 30 years before it was invented. This recording is from one of his lectures.

  Behavioral Finance

  For a good reason, the era we live in is dubbed the "Information Age." People have never had such rapid and simple access to so much information. The availability of so much information may appear useful to us in becoming informed and making good decisions. Still, the availability of so much information does not necessarily make us knowledgeable.In recent years, finance has witnessed the birth of a new way of thinking about financial decision-making that considers the investor's psychology — heuristics, biases, emotions, fears, and fallacies – to make sense of investor decision-making. Behavioral finance is a relatively recent area that has entered the debate as an alternative method to working with emotion and decision-making. It defects our understanding of how they inhibit us from reaching optimal investment outcomes and how they may be performed to optimize the results.
