Summary

In 1643, the undefeated Japanese sword-master, Miyamoto Musashi, wrote a book known as The Book of the Five Rings, in which he described his understanding of what it took to survive life and death duels. In his mid-50s when writing, he had reached a point of clarity where he saw that real expertise was based on mastering of basic principles – that true excellence was founded on using and deeply understanding basic principles. So he decided to share them. Richard Keegan started his own journey in Lean, World Class Manufacturing, Benchmarking or Best Practice in 1986 with Williams & Woods / Nestlé in Tallaght, Dublin, where he developed his basic understanding of how to work with and through people to get things done in a business context. Having written several books on the subject, he presents his insights – as best understood at this point – in the form of the Five Rings of Lean Business Excellence, to help you on your journey towards your personal and business excellence goal.

    Forget everything you learned about selling.Persuasion is not a sales skill—it’s a blunt instrument of last resort that sellers use when they don’t know how to influence the choices their buyers make. It’s the weapon of choice for mindless, uninspired sellers: the sales zombies who have stopped learning and stopped improving. Wouldn’t you rather learn how to master the art of selling in, by listening to what your buyers really want?In Sell Without Selling Out, global sales guru, top podcaster, and entrepreneur Andy Paul shows you how to take charge of your own career without selling out to outdated, ineffective sales methods. He reveals the four Sell In pillars that are the indispensable instruments of selling: Connection, Curiosity, Understanding, Generosity. Everything else is mostly a combination of product features, technical specifications and pricing, which your buyers can get from the Internet. What they seek (and deserve) can only come from you: the human seller.If you’ve been told you need to be more “salesy” to get ahead in your career, you need this book.#DeathToSalesy

Even better, he will help you do it fast; often in less than a day.Story Dash will help you to: access your natural capacity for storytelling; find your stories—and figure out which ones to tell; build your narrative so it lands with unforgettable impact; find your own voice of authentic leadership; and bring more of who you are to your teams and your markets.

For the millions of people who suffer from  workplace anxiety, Work Makes Me Nervous is a truly  effective self-empowerment training tool.

Work Makes Me Nervous trains readers in developing a  "High-Performance Mind," by using Jonathan's "Mind State Graph" in  a way that channels workplace anxiety into powerful performance.  Work Makes Me Nervous provides real stories of real people,  case studies, and practical exercises.
