"Business as usual" is no longer enough if an individual or organization wants to set themselves apart from the competition and be the top choice for today's demanding and savvy customer. Connie Podesta and Jean Gatz, with their no-nonsense style, get right to the heart of every organization's number one concern when they ask their readers the question: "What do you bring to the table that is so memorable and outstanding that people will CHOOSE to do business with you?" Then, using a combination of their expertise in both psychology and business, they answer that question with 10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd: How to Out-think and Out-perform the competition. They have ingeniously taken the top ten business topics and condensed them into ten stand-alone books that can be sold as a whole or individually in digital format. Readers will appreciate a business book that is full of content, yet also a visual delight to read. With an effortless blend of substance and style--mixing personality, graphics, color and amazing take-home value--these authors have created a book that lives up to its name and does indeed Stand Out From the Crowd. Book 1: RE*COMMIT to Change Life as you knew it is transforming before your very eyes. To survive and thrive requires the ability and willingness to adapt to CHANGE at the click of a mouse. You can no longer keep doing what you've always done and expect STANDOUT results! The good news? Successfully dealing with change is in your DNA! The bad news? So is the temptation to resist anything that's uncomfortable, stressful or requires extra WORK. To go from safe and predictable to amazing and adventurous, you've got to view change as an Opportunity for Continuous Growth. Book 2: RE*THINK Your Choices! Life doesn't always happen the way you planned, but in every situation you've got two choices: 1) React And Resist, and you will feel POWERLESS . . . without control or contribution. 2) Initiate And Take Positive Action, and you will feel POWERFUL . . . confident and in charge. Taking charge of your life means accepting responsibility for your own happiness, being accountable for the consequences of your choices, letting go of what didn't work in the past, and looking for solutions that will work even when times are tough. How you CHOOSE to STANDOUT will define yourfuture success. Book 3: RE*ASSESS Your Expectations Expectations: What you think or want to happen. Reality: What really happens. Not always a perfect match. Expect too much and you leave yourself open to disappointment. Expect too little and you'll never know what you are truly capable of achieving. How close life comes to meeting YOUR expectations and how close YOU come to meeting the expectations of others will directly affect your ultimate success. Understand and manage those expectations – and you can STANDOUT and set the pace for a better life. Book 4: RE*POSITION Your Strengths Using your STRENGTHS – those things you were BORN to do, LOVE to do and are PASSIONATE about – is the quickest and most fulfilling path to successfully STANDING OUT in a crowd. But STRENGTHS alone cannot get youthrough every situation. When you LEARN and apply new SKILLS that fortify those talents, you've got a winning combination. Add to that the willingness to identify and overcome the limitations that stand in your way and you will be able to turn your “liabilities” into “abilities.” Book 5: RE*NEW Your Positive Attitude Your ATTITUDES reflect how you feel about yourself, your relationships, your job and the people and events in your life. While you can be taught many things, no one else can MOTIVATE, COACH or TRAIN you to have an attitude that will have a positive impact on yourself and others. You always have a choice to be POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or INDIFFERENT towards a person or situation. Since your attitudes are a reflection of who you are and how you will ultimately perform, they should mirror the very BEST of your strengths, personality, values and abilitieASIN: 0982702949VSKU: RDV.0982702949.GCondition: GoodAuthor:Connie Podesta|Jean GatzBinding: Hardcover
