    Today’s super negotiator has to be a versatile problem solver, seeking hard-bargain results with a soft touch. With punch and panache, Bob Mayer shows you how to make the grade, revealing powerful negotiating tools drawn from a unique blend of sources, including:  • Recent advances in psychology, linguistics, trial advocacy, sales, and management communications—the cutting edge of the art of performance.  • Tips, tricks, and techniques from 200 of the world’s masters—the legendary street and bazaar merchants of Bombay, Istanbul, Cairo, and Shanghai.  • Mayer’s own "been there, done that" years as a lawyer representing thousands of clients (from foreign government agencies and mega-corporations to some of the world’s best-known actors, authors, and athletes), negotiating deals on everything from amphitheaters to Zero aircraft.  You’ll learn what works—and what doesn’t—when you’re up against a stone wall…or your ideas are being rejected…or you’re confronted with hostility and anger. Included is the highly acclaimed Deal Maker’s Playbook, a collection of step-by-step "how-to’s" and "what-to’s" for 38 common negotiating situations, such as, buying a car, leasing an apartment, dealing with the IRS, interviewing for a job, buying a franchise, and getting out of debt.  It’s all here—the fancy footwork and magic moves for outgunning, outmaneuvering, and out-negotiating the other person. And the techniques for developing life skills that will dramatically enhance your chances of professional success and personal satisfaction.

    Leaders are readers. But just reading as many books as the best leaders isn’t enough. In fact, top leaders read differently than most people. If more of us knew how to read the way leaders do, we’d be much more able to emulate their success. What many people don’t understand is that there are many ways to read. Students read differently than scholars, and people who read for entertainment usually read differently than those who read for work projects. However, top leaders read differently than all of these. Leaders are less concerned with the mere knowledge of a million facts than they are with the internalization and application of real principles and solutions. Leaders read to learn what they need to know, do, or feel, regardless of the author’s intent or words. As they read, they search for answers to questions, great examples of leadership, and whatever else they may need in their leadership journey and mentorial relationships. Leaders see past the words and read with the specific intent of finding truth and applying it directly in their own lives. "Turn the Page" teaches you to read like a leader. You will learn the difference between how most people read and how top leaders approach books. In the process, you will have the opportunity to develop the skills of reading like a leader. Learning and applying these lessons and skills will have a huge impact on your life, career, and leadership abilities. So, it’s time to turn the page and read.

    #1 AMAZON BESTSELLER🏆“The Creative Dealmaker” isn’t a technical business book. It’s a fable. A story about a buyer and seller who meet and transact on a business acquisition. It’s a gritty tale of a motivated buyer and seller who embark on their first ever business acquisition and exit. You will meet Jacqueline, a retiring 60-year old owner of a successful PR agency she founded over 20-years ago. She’s tired, burned out and looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren. You will also meet Terence, a 40-year old executive in one of the USA’s largest PR agencies. He knows the industry and after a 20-year career in corporate America, yearns to own his own business. Rather than start a business from scratch (and struggle), he wants to acquire an existing, successful, cash flowing business that already has customers, employees, premises, cash flow and a solid reputation (and succeed). Both Jacqueline and Terence have never bought or sold a business before so the book captures not only the process involved of transferring business ownership but also the drama, emotions and psychology that both buyers and sellers always go through, especially on that first deal.

    Are you ready to rethink the way you and your teams perceive work to find purpose, meaning, and ultimate fulfillment while optimizing your organizational effectiveness?
    
    More than 90,000 hours of our lives are devoted to work, so it’s essential to explore whether we as leaders and our employees are living our best work lives. Entrepreneur and CEO Sri Chellappa was inspired to explore this topic by the Okinawan people of Japan, whose unique approach to life, work, and relationships is called ikigai. Ikigai is the convergence of four elements—passion, skill, mission, and vocation.
         Into the Blue offers a blueprint for using ikigai to infuse your professional life—and the work lives of those you lead—with purpose and fulfillment, aligning daily efforts with something greater than self. Whether you are in a seemingly mundane role or at the helm of an organization, the desire to find purpose and meaning in our work is universal; it fuels personal development and nurtures all our passions. 
         The ikigai principles in this book will allow you to 
    • create a thriving workplace environment where individuals find purpose and organizations flourish;
    • follow a road map for both personal and professional fulfillment;
    • reshape your career;
    • discover the sweet spot where passion, skill, mission, and vocation converge.
         Into the Blue will inspire you and the people you lead to use ikigai to unlock the true potential of lives filled with meaning and purpose.
