A bucket list is a list of things to do before you die. This book is a guide to ways to live before you die. Whether you have a bucket list or not, the stories and insights in this book offer you seven clear ways to lighten-and enlighten-your life before you kick the bucket. George Simons and Walt Hopkins (international consultants in their mid-seventies) have learned a lot about living well while getting older-and they generously and intimately share those learnings with men and women concerned about ageing. If you are getting older-or if you know someone who is-this is a provocative, funny, and insightful guide to living a lively and meaningful life as the years go by. "With Mark Twain-like humor and age-old wisdom...it's a guide to kicking out what brings you down and picking up the things that make you happy." Patrick Schmidt, Strasbourg, France. Author of In Search of Intercultural Understanding. "I think it will be a phenomenon. Just like people say 'it's on my bucket list' I think they will say 'it's on my Chucket List' or my Ducket List or whatever." Marianne Erdelyi, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Coach, trainer, and consultant.

A wise man once described effective influencing as "the ability to move an idea from your mind to my mind and to move me with the idea". Those few words sum up what you need to do to influence effectively. Passport to Results is a handy, pocket-sized workbook which should be used alongside Influencing for Results in Organisations, to guide you through that process: developing your abilities, clarifying your ideas, choosing your strategies, connecting with the people you are influencing, and getting what you want. Based on 30 years of development in 30 different countries Influencing for Results in Organisations combines theory, success stories, and a seven-step planning guide to help you expand your range of influencing skills. It will move you from occasionally getting what you want - and not knowing how you got it-to frequently getting what you want - and knowing how you did it, so that you can do it again.
