Tiny changes to transform your life We’ve all set out to change our lives with big plans, bold ideas, and brilliant ambitions. And too often those resolutions and plans have lasted for a day or two before real life swoops in and we are back to normal. Or, perhaps even more frequently, we find ourselves so overwhelmed with life that we feel utterly powerless to even attempt to change anything. The Power of Small offers a way forward. Instead of pushing for large, dramatic changes, Aisling and Trish Leonard-Curtin help readers make small, manageable changes in their lives. Everyday decisions pile up to create transformation. Instead of being daunted by your goals and dreams or paralyzed by the business of life, The Power of Small will help you take the practical, approachable steps that will change your life, even if you feel completely stuck or defeated. As practicing psychologists, Aisling and Trish know first-hand the power of the techniques outlined in The Power of Small and have based their writing on numerous case studies and the latest psychological research. Emphasizing self-compassion and real, actionable steps, The Power of Small will empower you to make big changes in your life—one small step at a time.

What really sets the best managers above the rest? It’s their power to build a cadre of employees who have great inner work lives—consistently positive emotions; strong motivation; and favorable perceptions of the organization, their work, and their colleagues. The worst managers undermine inner work life, often unwittingly. As Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer explain in The Progress Principle, seemingly mundane workday events can make or break employees’ inner work lives. But it’s forward momentum in meaningful work—progress—that creates the best inner work lives. Through rigorous analysis of nearly 12,000 diary entries provided by 238 employees in 7 companies, the authors explain how managers can foster progress and enhance inner work life every day. The book shows how to remove obstacles to progress, including meaningless tasks and toxic relationships. It also explains how to activate two forces that enable progress: (1) catalysts—events that directly facilitate project work, such as clear goals and autonomy—and (2) nourishers—interpersonal events that uplift workers, including encouragement and demonstrations of respect and collegiality. Brimming with honest examples from the companies studied, The Progress Principle equips aspiring and seasoned leaders alike with the insights they need to maximize their people’s performance.

The choices we make, the words we say, and the actions we take not only impact our lives, but also the lives of those around us. When you aim to improve yourself, remember that your changes will inevitably inspire others to improve. Whether on an individual, organizational, or societal scale, it is clear that no man is an island. We hope that after reading this book, you will see the potential in any given moment, realize how small things really do matter, and have the confidence to unleash THE POWER OF 10%.

Can something small matter at all? Of course it can! In this book for young readers (who know a thing or two about being small), you can take a super close look at details too little to be seen with the human eye. Powerful shots from scanning electron microscopes show shark skin, bird feathers, the hairs on a honeybee's eye, and so much more, proving that tiny details can make a BIG difference.

The Power of the Next Small Step is a self-help book which grew out of Rayya Ghul's practice and training courses in Solution Focused coaching and therapy. The book presents Solution Focused ideas in a conversational and accessible way so that anyone interested in taking control of their future can make use of them. The book is designed for ordinary people with the kinds of challenges which can face all of us; difficulty dealing with co-workers, being stuck in a conflict with a teenager, losing confidence after redundancy or deep sadness at the loss of a loved one. This book doesn't provide specific solutions to these problems, rather it gives you the power to generate your own route to move towards your personal goals using the skills, knowledge and resources you already have (but may have forgotten).

"Small Book with a Big Idea, the Power of Listening in a World of Differences," is an engaging and thought provoking book that looks at a skill most of us are born with and have to use every day, yet are we using it to its full potential? Are we aware of how our listening is impacted by the diversity that surrounds us everyday? Are we aware of how technology and multi-tasking impacts our listening? Are we aware of a how cultural difference can impact a doctor's listening? Are we aware if we're approaching a job interview or evaluation with fearful listening? These are a few of the thought-provoking questions I raise and offer a perspective that can invite us to think about listening in a way that is empowering. Many of us are familiar with the expression, think outside the box. What about listening outside the box? A high level executive of one of the largest financial institutions in the US shared a story that demonstrated listening outside the box. He and his team met with one of their biggest clients. After listening to the discussion you won't believe what he told the client and their response. In the medical profession listening is essential in meeting the medical care of a patient. How conscious are doctors and nurses of the impact diversity has on their listening and how they engage? One dramatic story is shared by a colleague of his experience in the ER room that opened his eyes to how his cultural background impacted the doctor's listening and response to his urgent medical need. We all want fulfilling personal relationships that are healthy and vibrant and allow us to express who we are. Listening plays a vital role in creating these relationships. Through personal experience and observations I share thoughts of how listening can help keep relationships alive, bring more harmony, joy and love. We all have the ability to transform our lives just by the way we listen. I hope this book can offer you a new way of listening in a world of differences that brings you more harmony, all the success your heart desires and a truly fulfilling life.
