Narrative Counseling in Schools: Powerful & Brief
John M. (Maxwell) Winslade , and Gerald D. Monk Manufacturer: Corwin Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1412926203 |
Book Description
"What a gift to education! By practicing the ideas in this book, school counselors everywhere can help create new descriptions and stories that will transform the academic lives and behaviors of their students."
—Linda Metcalf, Author
Counseling Toward Solutions and Solution–Focused School Counseling
Promote students' respect for themselves and others through narrative interventions!
Narrative counseling is based on the premise that stories, rather than hard-nosed realities, shape our lives. By changing the stories that negatively label and define students, we help them open up new avenues and opportunities.
In this second edition of their best-selling book, John Winslade and Gerald Monk present even more case studies, guidance, and examples of counseling practice to help students narrate stories that "redescribe" who they are and can be. Mindful that today's busy counselors need effective and brief techniques, the authors make plain the steps with which counselors can externalize problems and draw out student self-knowledge to inform new ways of identifying and behaving. Updated throughout, this new edition offers:
Grounded in a deep respect for students, this book's principles and practices will enable students to choose for themselves the new reputations by which they'll be known.

Brain Surgery for Suits: 56 Things Every Account Person Should Know
Robert Solomon Manufacturer: Strategy Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0967623499 |
Amazon.com
In the world of advertising, writes agency veteran Robert Solomon, superior account management is closer to an art than a science. "Account people get little or no training. They work in chaos.... Results are hard to quantify.... So much of the best account work gets done in the moment--often in private conversations, often in a quick reading of a room--it is nearly impossible to codify what makes a great account person great."In Brain Surgery for Suits, Solomon has distilled the lessons he has learned over the years in the business and organized them into a straightforward, accessible, easy-to-digest manifesto covering the most important information account people need to know. His 56 ideas are presented in 10 punchy, fast-paced sections, and are complemented by funny, high-quality cartoons by Richard Cline. The result is a work that takes less than an hour to read, but that outlines practical, no-nonsense strategies for building and maintaining client relationships, preparing for meetings and presentations, communicating more effectively with colleagues, improving the creative product, and more. Solomon's tips and suggestions should also come in handy to sales and marketing types, as well as any professional who has to deal with clients. And although his advice will most likely not come as a radical surprise to readers, this may well be because the most important lessons are often the most obvious ones--and confoundingly, the hardest to learn. --Svenja Soldovieri
Book Description
Account management is an ephemeral pursuit, not easily characterized by a precise skill set or checklist of responsibilities. Perhaps this is why so little has been written on account service, and why there are few sources account people can turn to if they want to refresh, refine, or confirm what they know."Brain Surgery for Suits" fills this need. It is indispensable for the veteran account person, for anyone new to or considering a career in account management, or anyone in between. With 56 ideas organized in ten fast-reading chapters, "Brain Surgery" outlines how to build better client relationships, work smarter with colleagues, develop more precise strategy briefs, make more effective presentations, run more productive meetings, and generally transform yourself from a capable account person into a superb one.

A new, improved Brain Surgery for Suits.......2003-10-29
"The Art of Client Service," includes dozens of stories that support and ilustrate the book' s guidelines for account management. None of the stories are in "Brain Surgery." There's an afterword that talks about what makes a great account person; you won't find anything like it in "Brain Surgery." There are some new chapters not included in "Brain Surgery." And there's a detailed list of books for account people, also not included in "Brain Surgery."
Like "Brain Surgery," "The Art of Client Service" is a fast read, but it's easily got twice the information. It's the same price as "Brain Surgery," so it's a much better value.
My suggestion is before you order "Brain Surgery for Suits," check out "The Art of Client Service." If you do, my guess is you'll choose "The Art of Client Service."

Required Reading for the Real World.......2001-11-20
Ross chronicles dot-com madness during the height of the vogue, no-profit frenzy. It was like the California Gold Rush of 1849 but with no location, no objective, no direction, no product, and no defined value - just big talk and empty promises. Nothing else I've read has captured it better. We always have to re-learn the lessons in this book. Why is it important? Well, I don't know about YOUR mutual funds and investments but mine went down the toilet this year. I'll be wiser next time.
This book is a therapy of laughter for those who have been there, eating bad food and listening to the mind-numbing drone of snake-oil salesmen. And it's a sobering warning for those who haven't. Wherever you are -- in the New Economy or Old Economy, a battle-scarred manager or fresh out of B School - this book is for you. With a catalog of anecdotes that will shrivel your privates, Ross shows what happens when you mix arrogance with buffoonery, brazenness with fear, and hysteria with money. He ties it all together with an easy-to-read analysis that is at times stunning in its insight. A great read and a great value that will leave you either laughing or crying, but never in doubt about the truth of the New Economy.
A must-read to understand the REAL new economy.......2001-11-06
Well, finally here 's a book that brings fresh, unbiased, and insightful perspectives. It is written by a global e-commerce manager from a fortune 500 company, who managed his company's e-initiatives and venture capital fund. Maybe because he is very hands-on with his job, this book does not preach complicated economic theories or strategies, rather it offers real world cases and examples that makes the book simple but powerful, and abover all, REAL. It is hence very easy and enjoyable to read.
The portrayal of corporate America in this book is precise and revealing. I wonder which company the author works for. It certainly reminds me of my internship in the east coast this summer.
This book is ideal for MBAs interested in careers in start-up, consulting, and corporate America.

The Recovering Sorority Girls' Guide to a Year's Worth of Perfect Parties

ASIN: 0740750402 |
Book Description
Remember the last good party you attended? No, not the office mixer where the chips were served from the bag, you had to mix your own drink, and the conversational topic was the latest child-rearing theory. No, the last good party you attended, the one where there was a theme with real food and yummy drinks and decorations to match and people actually talked to you. That's the kind of party we are talking about. And sadly, that's the kind of party that is harder and harder to find-until now.
Now sorority sisters Kristina "Morgan" Rose and Deandra "Brooksie" Brooks are here with step-by-step party plans, including themes and concepts, decoration designs, menus and recipes, signature cocktails, and tips to make your event the party that everyone's talking about.
With "A Word About" specific issues such as how much alcohol to buy per guest, and humorous quizzes, rants, and Top Ten lists, the only thing more fun than this book is the party you'll be inspired to throw because of it.
