  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO. 
  As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself: 
  "thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling" 
  "we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?" 
  Or ... heard from your sales leads the following: 
  "the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave" 
  "this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win" 
  "they decided to do nothing?" 
  If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace 
  with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your 
  numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market. 
  This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your 
  targets. 
  Is there a better way? 
  After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable 
  success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is. 
  CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve 
  your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the 
  CEO. 
  The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the 
  results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and 
  discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.

  The Way of a Child - An...

  Despite the development of modern educational theories and the ingenious methods devised to hold a child's attention today, education – and even childhood – appear to be facing something of a crisis. The fact that boredom – or even extreme violence – can be spoken of in connection with little children is a sad reflection on our times. Are children in danger of losing the natural human fantasy that is the source of all creative imagination in later life? Are we in danger indeed of losing childhood altogether? Although first published in 1940, Cecil Harwood's little book has become a classic introduction to the perennial themes of child development and growth, and to the basic principles of Rudolf Steiner/Waldorf education. Cecil Harwood (1898 – 1975) was one of the founding members of the first Waldorf school in the English-speaking world, and worked for many years as a Steiner teacher. His sensitive awareness and respect for the innate wisdom of childhood shine through this book. As he demonstrates, a sympathetic and loving picture of this natural childhood wisdom is a prerequisite of any good educational endeavour.

  Dying to Get High - Marijuana as...

  An inside look at how patients living with terminal illness created one of the country’s first medical marijuana collectivesMarijuana as medicine has been a politically charged topic in this country for more than three decades. Despite overwhelming public support and growing scientific evidence of its therapeutic effects (relief of the nausea caused by chemotherapy for cancer and AIDS, control over seizures or spasticity caused by epilepsy or MS, and relief from chronic and acute pain, to name a few), the drug remains illegal under federal law. In Dying to Get High, noted sociologist Wendy Chapkis and Richard J. Webb investigate one community of seriously-ill patients fighting the federal government for the right to use physician-recommended marijuana. Based in Santa Cruz, California, the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) is a unique patient-caregiver cooperative providing marijuana free of charge to mostly terminally ill members. For a brief period in 2004, it even operated the only legal non-governmental medical marijuana garden in the country, protected by the federal courts against the DEA.Using as their stage this fascinating profile of one remarkable organization, Chapkis and Webb tackle the broader, complex history of medical marijuana in America. Through compelling interviews with patients, public officials, law enforcement officers and physicians, Chapkis and Webb ask what distinguishes a legitimate patient from an illegitimate pothead, good drugs from bad, medicinal effects from just getting high. Dying to Get High combines abstract argument and the messier terrain of how people actually live, suffer and die, and offers a moving account of what is at stake in ongoing debates over the legalization of medical marijuana.

  Popular author Taylor Clark draws on cutting-edge research in this enlightening exploration of stress—and  how to tackle it constructively. Using such divergent examples as Russian sub commanders and game show contestants, Clark shows that most people experience  stress the same way. Those who understand how to accept it without freezing can accomplish what needs to get done.  “The author makes some shrewd observations [and] he really knows how to write, too: the book is informative, engaging, and, in quite a few places, funny.”—Booklist
