        Pause and Sense

        by Emily Atallah

        Thousands of people say things such as “I have no time”, “when did life pass me by”, or “I have nothing left to live for.” According to the WHO, nearly 700,000 people commit suicide every year, and conditions such as depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and lack of purpose are increasingly rooted in our societies, blocking our view to a life full of light and possibilities. In the age of instant connectivity, we have never been as disconnected, unmotivated and empty as we are now. In these pages, you will find 10 practical tools that will help you get unstuck, find your way through pain, and reconnect with your purpose towards a plentiful life. The book is divided in three sections that help you understand what is valuable about life, what we can give to the world as human beings, and how we can embrace challenges, increase connectivity with each other and increase our awareness. This book invites you to enrich your own life, through reflections that help you go deep inside, and examples of how others who when through similar experiences, got through them to live a happier, meaningful, and purposeful life.

        Share the Load!

        How to delegate skilfully and with confi dence

        by Cordula Nussbaum

        The 7 steps of successful delegation Too much to do and not enough time to do it? Most of us have more tasks on our daily to-do lists than we can realistically achieve. Even for masters of organisation and time manage-ment, 24 hours in the day is frequently not enough. Our mod-ern workloads are often too great to be managed alone. Delegation – sharing the load – is the obvious solution, yet many of us struggle to relinquish control. The reasons for this are manifold: perfectionism, a desire for control, a fear of loss of reputation, a drive to be ‘nice’, a lack of trust in the work of others or simply a lack of knowledge about the right tools. Even where tasks are nominally assigned to others, we still scramble to do most of the work. In this entertaining, practical guide, renowned time manage-ment expert Cordula Nussbaum shows how things can be different. She exposes the pitfalls and hurdles to which we all-too-readily succumb and empowers us to convert our inner saboteurs into our greatest advocates. The book is a valuable tool for the art of “You do that, please!” As you read, you’ll realise that letting go and relinquishing control don’t have to be painful. On the contrary: successful delegation unburdens us of unnecessary drains on our time and unlocks new scope for creativity, innovation and the things that really matter.   A seasoned business journalist, entrepreneur and 20-time book author, Cordula Nussbaum has long inspired an audience of millions with her guidance and wisdom on personal success. Her German-language podcast ‘Kreatives Zeitmanagement’ (‘Creative Time Management’) is among the top-rated in the self-help category; her blog, gluexx-factory.de, is visited by thousands of readers every month. Her books have been translated into six languages to date and are featured in Lufthansa’s on-board entertainment programme. She has been named “Germany’s leading expert on the subject of time management” by German magazine SPIEGEL Wissen.Cordula has received a number of awards and accolades for her work, including ‘Trainer of the Year’, ‘Top 100 Success Trainer’ and ‘TOP 10 Trainer & Infl uencer 2019’. As a result of her widely respected work in the training and development arena, she was the second German woman ever to receive the globally coveted ‘Certifi ed Speaking Professional (CSP)’ title.

        How to draw people to you and build relationships that last

        by Tobias Beck

        Are you ready to have the best relationships of your life? Tobias Beck shows how you achieve them – at work and in your private life Thanks to our networked world, we have more relationships than ever before. We’ve never been in touch with so many people at any one time, and it’s never been so hard for us to open up to one another. We live in a world that strives for perfection and forgets that relationships are not a filtered Instagram selfie. Relationships exist alongside and because of us and, as such, are also like us: unique, flawed, and constantly changing. This is a good thing. Perfection is far too static a state for the colourful emotional world where our relationships reside. We need relationships to be happy, yet it is this unique emotional world that makes it so difficult for us to establish them in the first place. In this new book, Tobias Beck takes you on a journey aimed at achieving the best relationships of your life. As a first step, you must fall in love with yourself – because your relationship with yourself determines the standards of compassion, understanding, respect, and trust that is reflected in your relationships with others. Once you have learned to say goodbye to the beliefs that hold you back and to forgive the past and yourself, you will be able to intensively nourish good relationships and say goodbye to others. Your life deserves the best relationships you can foster. Tobias’ animal-based model of the four basic types of person - whale, shark, dolphin and owl - has already inspired millions online. It will help you figure out what the people around you feel and believe. What motivates them? What are the things they dream of? What scares them? In Tobias’ many humorous stories, you’ll recognise your partner, family, friends, colleagues and yourself, and thus learn to understand all these people better. By the end of the book, you’ll speak the language of the four animals and know why dolphins should never marry owls, why you should adopt a whale and what you should avoid so as not to be eaten by a shark.                Tobias will take you on a journey to yourself and the people you love – with empathy, poignancy and plenty of laughs along the way. About the Author: With more than 250,000 seminar participants and 5 million Podcast listeners Tobias Beck belongs to the most in demand speakers in the German-speaking countries. Tobias Beck motivates you, gives you concrete tips and shows you ways in which you can free yourself from everything that oppresses you, that keeps you small. Learn to think in terms of opportunities and possibilities instead of first seeing problems and risks in everything. Go your own way and let your dreams and visions guide you. And above all, look for people who support you, who let you grow and help you to move forward - this is how you live your own life successfully and authentically BEWOHNERFREI®.

        This volume has the virtue of focusing on one of the resources that large companies appeal to most today: teamwork.

You will be able to know the secrets of how to join a good work group and how to make your work perform and look without entering sterile competitions. But at the same time, every human group requires a leader and this aptitude, that of leadership, is another of the most valued today. Here you will learn about the means by which those who created their own business, or lead large corporations, got to get what they needed and expected from others. Skills and attitudes such as persuasion, respect, the wise distribution of rewards and punishments, and the ability to instill enthusiasm will awaken the leader in you. Leadership is learned, earned, deserved. Know how and take action.

        FIFTY EXERCISES FOR BETTER COMMUNICATION: IMPROVING SELF ESTEEM AND INSPIRING OTHERS

        by Bowie Tsang

        Do you feel awkward in social situations? Are you ever at a loss for what to say? Do you find yourself drained by conversations, even when sharing positive experiences? We all learn to speak in childhood, but real communication takes a lifetime to master. With twenty years of experience hosting talk shows and events, Bowie Tsang has the ability to engage guests from all walks of life. In her book, she shares the professional experiences  that left the deepest impressions on her, and teaches readers how to make conversations happen no matter what the setting, emphasizing that communication can be a powerful path of personal growth.   The first lesson of effective communication is “know thyself”. Only when we know our own passions and emotions can we begin to seek out points of resonance others. This is the prelude to learning how to have natural and flowing conversations. With this foundation, we can develop our own communication style and learn to better express our thoughts through storytelling practice, and reading a broad range of books.   Later, we can continue to improve our communication through two critical skills: the use of positive energy, and learning to see things through the eyes of others. Bowie Tsang believes that real conversations are co-creations. We find satisfaction and positive energy in conversations, and avoid feeling drained, by working together and giving good feedback. Good communication is a lifelong study that will help us find mutual understanding and develop greater tolerance for those around us.   Unlike other books on communication, Fifty Exercises for Better Conversations doesn’t promote conversational gimmicks. Drawing on twenty years of experience, Bowie Tsang teaches that good conversations don’t unfold according to the rules. Naturally flowing from topic to topic helps put participants at ease, encourages positive communication, and creates a space for healing. Lively and authentic, Bowie Tsang’s writing will leave readers savoring the warmth and intimacy of a heartfelt talk, and inspire them to go out and create healing conversations of their own.
