If you are a leader - or aspiring to be one - then tools like
PowerPoint detract, not add, to how your performance will be
received. In fact, leadership and the ability to speak and sell
yourself and your ideas are inextricably intertwined. Successful
leaders speak to help listeners know themselves as well as to
influence and inspire them. Chris Witt has helped hundreds of
executives take their game to another level. Because, when you are
a leader, being a good speaker isn't enough. You have to be a great
speaker. Your reputation and the success of your business depend on
being able to speak to a variety of audiences confidently and
persuasively. Through contemporary and historical examples, Chris
provides practical advice on how his readers can take their game to
another level by understanding ideas such as: * You are the message
- it's your experience, vision and character that audiences want *
As a leader, you have only three speeches: to identify, to
influence and to inspire * Speak less to say more. Fewer, shorter
speeches have greater impact * Dare to be different. Leaders don't
play by the rules; they take risks
"A WEDDING WITH SPIRIT" has been written for the bride and groom
who are searching for something "more" for their wedding--not
"more" as in bigger, grander, or more lavish, but "more" as in more
meaningful, gracious, and sacred. Ritual and liturgy experts
Gertrud Mueller Nelson and Christopher Witt have helped hundreds of
couples plan their ceremonies and in these pages they have
distilled their years of experience into some basic principles.
Instead of trying to orchestrate "the happiest day of your life"
and suffering through catering nightmares, Nelson and Witt help the
couple see the wedding as a moment in the larger context of their
love. To create such a wedding, "A WEDDING WITH SPIRIT" offers
advice in general principles such as location, participants,
symbols, prayers, format, readings, blessings, and music. Sections
include:
* A look at the history and meaning behind familiar wedding
traditions
* A walk through the ceremony (including the rites of gathering,
the readings, and the exchanging of vows and rings) and the
reception
* Practical advice for the invitations, the rehearsal, and the
programs
* Pre-marriage guidance (including pertinent meditations and
prayers) to enable the bride and groom to begin their union with a
firm footing
*Three model weddings incorporating all the principles of "A
WEDDING WITH SPIRIT"
"A WEDDING WITH SPIRIT" ensures that one's wedding day will be
about the sacredness of a committed love between two people, about
love's ability to create and nurture life, and about the
faithfulness and hope that such a love gives witness to.
The German translation of this classic of theoretical physics is
now available in a further revised edition. This renders
theoretical electrodynamics even more comprehensible than before.
Unique to this textbook of electrodynamics are the incomparably
large number of calculated examples and special cases and the many
exercises at the end of each chapter.
