In "The Platinum Rule," I teach you more about treating others the way they want to be treated, not the way you want to be treated -without being phony or underhanded. In "I Know Who You Are, But What Am I?", I describe each behavioral style and help you determine which one you are. Next, I assist you to identify other people's natural styles. The "Adaptability" chapter includes both versatility and flexibility characteristics and helps you determine how adaptable you are in life's varying situations. Part Two deals with "Workplace Applications." The three chapters here focus on getting along with everyone on the job, leadership styles, and how to sell and deliver quality service with style. In Part Three, we delve into "Personal Applications." In this three chapter section, I walk you through the social scene and how to get along better with friends. Then we cover dealing with your family-- your significant others and children. Finally, we focus on Romance! Romance! and how to dating and romance issues much more effectively. This is a reader-friendly book. You can use and reuse it as a constant companion to consult when dealing with difficult people and stressful situations.

How well to you communicate with others? Almost every problem, every conflict, every mistake, and every misunderstanding is the result of a communication problem. We've all used words and phrases that have been misinterpreted. In fact, sometimes we create misunderstandings, or even cause "mistrust", not only by what we say but in the way we say our words. You may never completely eliminate communication problems, but the important thing to keep in mind is that you can keep them from happening as frequently--simply by enhanching your communication skills.Set of 6 cassette tapes: Listening; Body Language; The Platinum Rule; Conflict Resolution; Presentation Power; Meeting Magic. This program will teach you the crucial skills you need to become a masterful communicator.

The interviews found in this book are conducted by David Wright, President of ISN Works and Insight Publishing. Achieving success is serious business, or so it would seem. So many people are striving for this nebulous concept known as success. I ve asked many people what their definition of success is and I ve heard different answers from just about all of them. Some people appear successful and on the surface it seems that they should be very happy about what they ve accomplished. But often they are not. Their lives have become so complicated that they feel harried and on a treadmill of endless things to do to keep their hard-won success. Can t success be simple? I wondered if anyone else had ever thought about this, so I searched for speakers and authors who would give me some answers. In this book, Success Simplified, the successful businesspeople I found gave several different answers to my question. The answers were very insightful, in my opinion. I think they will give you a new perspective on success and how to make it simple.
