"A Woman's Way" is an optimistic account of transformative growth
which maps the journey from inner turmoil to confidence, joy and
fulfilment. This is a spiritual journey that is offered to all in
early to middle adulthood but in this instance, the wisdom of a
group of twelve women has been tapped to illuminate the process.
Through an economical sharing of their experiences, the features of
this journey are brought to light and ideas for getting through it
are recommended. Describing the path that they have trodden removes
its mystique and diminishes any fear that other travellers may have
of exploring this (inner) landscape.Although challenging, it is an
exciting journey that enables women to find their true expression
and live vigorously and vitally in the world. Many who tread this
path report the arrival at their destination in the most glowing
terms as the dysfunctional behaviours of the past are shed in
favour of self-confidence and self-responsibility. This is called
the 'becoming' journey to suggest its ongoing nature and the
dynamic of emerging beauty.
Networking just got easier Networking is a word that is firmly
embedded in our vocabulary. It is not unusual to hear the word used
to describe a range of activities and behaviours. The activities of
a successful networker are often focussed on outcomes. Our research
and observations suggest that successful networkers build their
networks by developing close relationships with work colleagues,
professional communities and associations and virtually, through
social and professional networking sites, referrals and references
from friends or colleagues. The behaviours of a successful
networker are often social. Successful networkers may be considered
to be gregarious; when you observe them, it becomes clear they
build relationships through empathic connections, being respectful,
purposeful and reciprocal relationships that are founded on
principles such as 'do as you would be done by'. Individuals
respond to the word network in different ways. However you respond
to the word, networks can make the difference for you personally
and professionally. Networking In A Week is designed to help you
understand, benefit from and develop your network. Each of the
seven chapters in Networking In A Week covers a different aspect: -
Sunday: Networks and networking - Monday: Personal networks -
Tuesday: Organizational networks - Wednesday: Professional networks
- Thursday: Networking for career development - Friday: Social
networking - Saturday: Simple steps to networking success

'A useful confidence-building tool for those whose key aim is to
find their inner power' Edge Online Being more assertive just got
easier Much has been spoken about the assertive communication
style, not all of it complimentary! Many people confuse it with
being aggressive, bamboozling others into submission and getting
what you want, despite what they want. However, assertive
communication is not domineering; it's just a means of saying what
you mean, meaning what you say and allowing others to do the same.
Taking the decision to adopt assertive behaviour will mark the
beginning of a new way of life: a way of life where you make your
own decisions and choices without feeling guilty, and where you are
in control, not those around you. By working through some simple
steps, and by testing the techniques out in a 'safe' environment,
you will soon become confident in your new-found powers of
assertion. You will be able to command the respect of others,
achieve your personal and professional goals and raise your
self-esteem. The steps to assertive behaviour you will cover in
this book are: - Understand the different styles of communication
and the effect they have. - Identify your own style(s) of
communication. - Know your own worth and the worth of others. - Be
clear about your goals. - Be prepared to learn from your successes
and failures. - Be flexible, and don't expect too much. - Learn to
listen. Each of the seven chapters in Assertiveness In A Week
covers a different aspect of being assertive: - Sunday: Preparing
the foundations - Monday: Creating winning scenarios - Tuesday:
Dealing with the 'negative' - Wednesday: Creating a positive
impression - Thursday: Being assertive in public - Friday: Body
language - Saturday: Personal power
