Building Growth and Good Hope in South Africa

Success against the odds - the other half of your study of human aspiration and achievement. Fascinating stories of small-scale enterprise and initiative in the old backroad townships that are now blossoming into craft-villages that attract commercial clients and discerning tourists. A paraplegic turning factory waste into luxury leatherware. A father and son making bricks out of unwanted coal - ash. A doctor using local herbs to make tribal cures that still work wonders. Spice your mind with these inspiring tales of triumph over handicap. Barriers like that can make your problems seem pretty trivial - one of many less-usual perspectives you will gain from this inspiring and entertaining report from an unknown region.

Empowering The Female Enterpreneur

It all comes down to visions of womanhood. How the world sees you: an appearance-led image given identity only by a husband. How you see the world: a place of mounting bills that force you to work all hours. How you see yourself: all those modest expectations mixed with maternal guilt. Now let Carole stop the rot - as she did spectacularly in her own case. Let her inspiring and passionate appeal for self-empowerment unblock those inhibitions and bring out the success gene in you - whether you're at the start of your career, or just reaching that glass ceiling, or right at the top, but having to work hard to stay there!

Change Is Inevitable - Growth Is Your Challenge!

Your organisation is having to manage change more urgently every year. Clinging to old routines is just dodging reality. Notice how a shake-up always brings fresh opportunities when the smoke clears. But it affects people differently. Some say the difference between the possible and the impossible lies in your willingness and determination to accept change. By learning new methods, you may join the leaders and innovators. You may even be first to take the plunge, so you could actually control the nature and pace of change, guiding and leading your workforce. Remember Gandhi: "You must be the change you want to see in the world." Carole uncovers 10-crucial principles to personal and corporate growth during the process of change.

A Single Word May Start The Avalanche!

Articulacy is a major weapon in the conduct of business - commanding attention, speeding-up dialogue, re-starting sensitive talks. It is also part of the wider responsibility to communicate well with employees. Sometimes a single word in the right place can unblock whole situations. Good communication is part logic, part intuition. Including less-obvious forms like 'active listening' (or giving yourself time to notice involuntary signals), body-language with its immense and vivid vocabulary, and best ways to open a conversation with a trauma victim. No-one knows it better than Carole Spiers, world-acclaimed counsellor and mediator as well as speaker and broadcaster.She is passionate about communications as the key to personal and business success.

You Can Only Pull Elastic So Far Before It Snaps

The commercial cost of stress has been endlessly acknowledged - absenteeism, inefficiency, low productivity, among many other bad effects. Stress is pressure wrongly handled, and keeping a handle on pressure is one common hallmark of an achiever. But these will always be outnumbered by stress-sufferers, and stress management is an increasingly necessary part of the corporate agenda, as technology and human competitiveness winch-up the pressure more every year. On this wide-ranging subject, you can't get much more authoritative than Carole Spiers, Counsellor and consultant to blue-chip clients from Rolls Royce to the Bank of England, with her 6-point plan for implementing active stress control in your organisation.
