Oh Hell! I've been promoted!

£9.99

We seem to have the belief that the ability to manage others is a God-given skill – hence the lack of training provided to the new manager, foreman, team boss etc. Sadly, because someone is good at their job it does not follow that they will be good at organising others.

Take heart! If you find yourself in a supervisory position with no idea of what to do next, this book will provide words of wisdom, comfort and advice.

This book is laid out in an easy to use A-Z format and includes

Oh Hell I've been Promoted

 

  • Authority
  • Building
  • Fun (and fear!)
  • Motivation
  • Xystus (?)
  • Zeal
  • And all the letters between!
 

Winning the Exhibition Game

£9.99

All you need to ensure success at your next trade show.

Exhibiting at trade shows is hard work – and fun. It is expensive – and effective. Or at least it should be. So how come something like 30% of first-time exhibitors vow never to repeat the experience?

The reasons are many and are revealed in this guide to creating a trade show or exhibition that will provide a worthwhile return on your investment. Written in Jim’s popular light-hearted style, it nonetheless contains vital truths that will transform exhibiting from a chore to a joy, from an expense to a profitable investment.  Among the many topics covered you will find.

Winning the Exhibition Game

  • Why exhibit?
  • Planning & budgeting
  • Stand design
  • PR
  • Literature (don’t!)
  • And much more

Talk Propper

£35.00

Presentations are now the norm for anyone wishing to advance their business or their career. And most of us are terrified at the prospect!

Talk Propper

  • Why it all goes wrong
  • ‘Overcoming’ nervousness
  • Business
  • Audience involvement
  • Notes, scripts and memory
  • And more

Never Too Old

£5.00

Almost on a whim, Jim decided to run a half-marathon (13+ miles) every day for a month. This is the story of that ‘adventure’ and the supporters who made it possible – plus some thoughts on achieving our dreams and the importance of taking action.

Marathon Man - Never Too Old

 

Sand in my Supper : audio & text version

£14.99

What do you do after you’ve run 30 half-marathons in a month? Why, you run (er, mostly walk!) 150 miles through the Sahara Desert, of course. The world famous Marathon des Sables is a gruelling challenge; competitors carry all their own supplies for seven days through some of the most inhospitable ( and beautiful) landscape on the planet.
