This book, from the experts at Pryor Learning, the prestigious management and leadership firm, shows you how to be a mindful leader. Above all else, that means leading people.

You’ll learn how to: Fine-tune your emotional intelligence, the single greatest key to success Perfect your listening skills Overcome poor work habits—your own and others’ Craft clear and convincing messages Manage the unspoken rules of business etiquette Read other people’s emotions and reactions Master the skills of negotiation Hire (and keep) top-level employees The Mindful Leader offers you much, much more.

The Mindful Leader takes you through a step-by-step process that shows you how to hire for the skills actually needed for the job (and for the future) rather than trusting in credentials. You’ll also learn how to discover, encourage, and manage high-performing employees—bringing out their best qualities and shepherding them from the mistakes in attitude and performance that are often found in superior individuals. Recent technological advances mean that many functions once performed by humans are now farmed out to computers and AI. This means that the human factor in the workplace will be even more important than ever. Interpersonal skills are fast becoming the most valuable and powerful abilities that everyone—especially leaders—can have. No leader at any organizational level can afford to overlook the invaluable practices—which are both time-tested and on the cutting edge—revealed in this book."

30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary Second Edition

"30 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary quickly became a bestseller in its category back in 2015. Now, in this updated and revised edition—which now contains the 700 most important words you need to master--you'll quickly learn why this title has been such a positive impact in the personal and professional lives of tens of thousands in the English-speaking world. As Dan Strutzel asserts in Chapter 1, numerous studies show that those people with large vocabularies are smarter, wealthier and happier than the average person—and substantially so. And here’s the best news of all, a large vocabulary is not tied to your social status, your genes or even your education level. It is a skill that can be learned—and it takes only 30 days. And since the original book was written, as technology has advanced further from the smartphone to Artificial Intelligence, some people have speculated that the need for a vast vocabulary will reduce in importance. But, according to Dan Strutzel, nothing could be further from the truth. He argues in the new edition that, due to technology's ability to "flatten" the distinction between individuals, the art of personal communication via a rich vocabulary will be one of the ways to truly distinguish yourself from the masses. The new edition contains the original, most impactful 500 words which cover many topics from persuading others, relationships, financial issues, science and technology, and more words that ensure you will be a great conversationalist and rise fast in your chosen profession. And, best of all, you'll be provided with an additional 200 words which, according to research, have become particularly important in the last 8 years, particularly since the worldwide pandemic. Those words will cover topics like the new world of virtual work, health topics, Artificial Intelligence, and much more! Research shows that learning new words has an exponential effect on the size of your vocabulary since learning one word, naturally produces an association between two to three more words. In short, after listening to and applying the system in this 30-day program, you will not only have a bigger vocabulary—you will have a brighter future!"
