      Book Description

      In Women Seen and Heard, experienced public speakers share their wisdom on how to get ready for and deliver dynamic presentations, whether to co-workers or managers, small groups and formal audiences or at community and political events. This indispensable book covers all you need to know including how to: overcome stage fright and be yourself, shift from a subjective to a more strategic approach when planning your speech, enliven presentations with anecdotes from your culturally diverse background, build on gender differences --like women's conversational skills--at the podium, and capitalize on your life experiences to gain credibility as the voice of authority.

      5 out of 5 stars Very Valuable!!.......2004-05-18

      I wanted to pass on to you some of the great ideas I have
      personally been using from this book.
      First, I have been actively learning from the women speakers I have come across. Developing my "role models" is important to me at this stage of the game.
      Second , as a woman of color, I really appreciated chapter 10. The points that are touch on are so crucial. Establishing your credibility from the start -and keeping it- is so important, not only in speaking engagements but also in life.
      For any woman that wants to seen and heard in her life this book is a very valuable tool!!!

      5 out of 5 stars Gaining Self-Esteem.......2004-03-30

      Public speaking is a wonderful way to gain self-confidence and self-esteem. This book is a gem in that it helps women become more sure of themselves in the competitive world of men.

      The book is well-written and helpful to all who wish to know how to speak clearly.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Book for Young PR Professionals.......2004-03-29

      Both very useful and fun to read, unlike a lot of "How-to" public speaking books. I appreciated the history mixed in, too.
      I do public relations for high tech companies so I'm required to be a good communicator, but I often run into huge challenges because of the fact that I work with technologists (who are notoriously bad communicators) and 99% of whom are male and have a tendency to immediately dismiss me as a source of valuable insight because I'm young, attractive, and female. In battling past those first impressions, I've found that effective communication is 20% what you say and 80% how you say it. Although at first blush this seems to be geared only to professional public speaking, the examples in it are really good for everyday interactions as well. A great book!

      5 out of 5 stars You Need This Book.......2004-02-28

      Watching women break through the glass ceiling when I was an executive at Catalyst convinced me of the importance of effective communication skills for women's success in the workplace. Written in a winningly personal style by two seasoned pro's, Women Seen and Heard is chock-full of practical advice, insights on overcoming the stereotypes that women speakers still face, and exercises sure to yield immediate results. Whether you are new to public speaking or an old hand at the podium, you need this book!

      5 out of 5 stars Beyond Public Speaking.......2004-02-14

      Here, at last, is a practical guide to enable women to assess how they present themselves not only on the podium but in almost every context of their lives. The accomplished authors are not male aversive, but very supportive of our capitalizing on our feminine perspective and it's delivery in a riveting manner that is "seen and heard". As a psychotherapist, I wish I had had this book long ago as a support to my clients who could not find or doubted their true voice on stage, in the workplace, and even in their interpersonal relationships. Bravo! and thank you Lois and Anita.

      This books include an abundance of typographical errors and even errors in the answers compared to the explanation. The explanations simply restate the question with the answer. Poorly done.

      4 out of 5 stars Private Lands Management for Wildlife.......2004-08-11

      This is one of the best popular books dealing with wildlife management since the late Geogre Burger's book Practical Wildlife Management was published. It is very up-to-date and accurate. The only problem I have, and this is not a fault but a personal issue, is that it promotes specific brand name commercial products pretty heavily. All else aside it is a great book for anyone intested in managing private lands for wildlife.

                  Elite Sports Development addresses important questions in contemporary sports development, providing detailed analysis of the emergence and current status of elite sport policy and practice in the UK, Australia, and Canada.

                  The authors consider the problems faced by governments and national governing bodies in establishing a successful elite sport infrastructure and examine in detail the particular issues associated with provision of facilities, coaching, sports science and competition. The lives and needs of full-time athletes are studied and tensions generated by competition for resources between elite sport, schools, and community provision are explored. The book includes a discussion of why governments invest heavily in elite sport; the relationships between Government and NGB's; the elite sport investment impact on "sport for all" and how individual sports are selected for priority funding.

                    Book Description

                    A participatory and integrated procedure for the planning of water resources is presented and illustrated through its application to a real-world case study: the planning of a trans-boundary, multi-purpose, regulated lake. Methods and concepts from Hydrology, System Analysis, Optimal Control, Decision and Negotiation Theory are presented and framed in a comprehensive and coherent procedure for the efficient development of the decision-making process.

                        3 out of 5 stars A useful resource for those involved in negotiations.......1999-09-16

                        Anyone who negotiates for a living should read everything available on the subject, in part to improve their own ability but primarily to understand the approach and tactics the other party may be deploying. While I don't put the Schoenfield's in the same league as people like Roger Dawson or Gerry Spence, they do a very credible job of detailing the negotiating process and instructing would-be negotiators. To state the obvious, if you're involved in a serious negotiation and are searching for a book to provide you with immediate help, you're in trouble! Hire a professional to help you through your current negotiations and when time permits and the situation is less critical, read this and other books and take a few courses or lessons in negotiating. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me - adamleft@webspan.net.

                            We were hoping to set up a will and living directive, but the CD didn't have that. The forms are in PDF format so you print them off and fill them out?? Not sure why that is, deliver a Word doc so people can type it in. It's a great get all the information together type of book, just not great on the other parts of what to do if you become incapacitated type situations.

                            5 out of 5 stars Covered All The Bases...And More.......2007-01-25

                            I bought this book thru Amazon in June 2006 because of my experiences working with a close friend who had just lost his father rather unexpectedly. My friend faced a monstrous task of trying to track down his father's assets, business records, last will, credit accounts, etc. just to scratch the surface. As a participant in his frustration, I began to think about the arrangement of my personal life and how my loved ones would tend to my estate.

                            "Get It Together" brings so much to the table to deal with. I think most people refuse to face their mortality and the task of making such arrangements, let alone there really is a large volume of papers, decisions, conversations, and organization to be handled. GIT is very thorough in all topic areas (see Table of Contents). The book discusses the emotions involved with each topic area, numerous websites to obtain additional information, what to get a copy of, keeping the info current and arranging your "estate" or life, for that matter, to benefit those close to you.

                            My parents or other people I look up to would never or be highly uncomfortable discussing these topics in detail. This book is perfect to compensate for the lack of those conversations. Now, just a warning for those willing to purchase and conform to this book. I was quite diligent in following all their instructions and recommendations to the "t". It took longer than expected, about 12 weekends, until I had gathered and organized everything to my satisfaction and I don't have a wife, kids or other complicated situations...just me alone.

                            But I have such a peace of mind that my successors will have no trouble making decisions or tracking down stuff because it's all there with explicit directions from me. I find going forward that I try to keep my life organized in a simple fashion and refuse to take on unnecessary stuff that I will need to add to my planner. And I feel no stress at all looking at my desk now because all the meaningless clutter is gone and GIT was a big reason for that.

                            Finally, the greatest resource is the forms CD included with the book, which saves a great deal of time when the organizing process starts and got me unstuck in some areas.

                            5 out of 5 stars Get It Together: Organize Your Records So Your Family Won't Have To by Melanie Cullen.......2006-05-28

                            My mother died suddenly and left her estate in a total mess. I was left shocked, grief-stricken and alone in struggling to make sense of what needed to be done. I wouldn't wish that ordeal on anyone let alone on those I love. This workbook and companion organizer is the perfect solution. Nothing will be left to guesswork if I am incapacitated or dead. It is thorough yet simply organized and written from a compassionate perspective. It is a gift of love to provide this kind of direction to those who must make decisions on your behalf.

                            5 out of 5 stars Just What I Needed.......2006-05-24

                            I've recently retired and am looking forward to years of "re-engaging" with activities I haven't had time to focus on during all those years of full-time work and rearing children. Get it Together is exactly what I needed to provide essential background information and help me organize all the documentation I want my family to have. Now I can travel and do the things I've been looking forward to without worrying about whether my children will be able to figure out what I would have wanted them to know in case something should happen to me.

                            Get it Together has given me an entree to discuss things with my children and to encourage them to do their own planning for the future.
