Who wouldnt love to get more work done in less time, have time for family, sports and hobbies, thus creating a relaxed way of life? The trouble is that between dream and reality, theres a clock in the way wich only lets you have 24 hours a day. Theres no way around that.
Most people find being under time pressure very unpleasant; the awful realisation that 24 hours just arent enough to do what they want or have to do. Sounds familiar? You can do something about that against the clock feeling. To get to grips with the pressure of time is mainly a question of getting to grips with yourself; with what it is that you want, your behaviour, and your ideas. This needs more than a few simple tips on how to save time. The real essential of time management is choosing, organising yourself and influencing your environment. And doing all this in a way that suits you. This book will help you to make those personal choices so that you can optimize your most valuable asset; the time of your life.

A challenging book to improve your influencing skills.
Manager, consultant, member of the Works Council: in any of these functions you
want to exert maximum influence to reach your goals. There are quite some ways to do this. You can reason and give logical arguments, you can paint a picture about an attractive future perspective or give compliments.
This book describes ten different influencing skills that you can learn to use and to apply yourself. Influencing is not about using communication tricks. It is essential that you use the influencing skills in such a way that they fit your personality and help you reach your goals. Ten Influencing Skills will reveal all the secrets of influencing.
/> This book challenges you to:
· improve your influencing skills and make them perfect
· apply new behaviour that you have not used before
· become aware of how you are being influenced yourself.
Ten Influencing Skills focuses on the work context as a point of reference but of course these skills can be used in every context, also in your personal life. This book is a completely revised edition of the successful book Influence, first published in 2000. Thousands of participants in Schouten & Nelissen workshops and training sessions have already improved their influencing skills thanks to this book. Schouten & Nelissen is one of the most renowed educational, training- and consultancy institutes in the Netherlands.

Thats just the way I am. A lot of people think that the way they behave is fixed in stone. Nothing could be further from the truth. This book shows you how you can consciously choose to adopt the most effective behaviour in order to improve your success rate at achieving your goals.
This book uses Learys Rose interaction model to give you an insight into the different communication processes. Learys Rose is a schematic reproduction of different ways of behaving and the effect this has on other people. With the help of exercises you learn how you can choose to behave differently, how you can manage each situation and obtain the result that you want and still accept the other person for what they are.
This practical model can be applied in all types of everyday situations; a difficult work discussion, a business conflict or difference of opinion about a holiday destination. It is just a question of making the right choice.
