Book Description
A unique handbook of graphics and other visual aids that will create irresistible and dynamic presentations, sales calls, meetings, speeches, and other communications. The book includes a CD ROM compatible with any platform enabling the reader to insert the visuals into his or her own materials, with permission to do so. The book contains a visual on one page and a description of its origin, rationale, use, and space for notes on the facing page. The process visuals are the best from the works of Alan Weiss, one of the stars of the lecture circuit, and the author of "Million Dollar Consulting" and "Money Talks: How to Make A Million As A Speaker."Customer Reviews:
Outstanding source for any executive to increase their effectiveness.......2006-03-12
The ugliest book I've ever seen.......2005-06-10
Not Worth $25, much less over $100.......2002-07-20
Process Visuals - immediate results!.......2002-02-19
1. I received the book and used one to close a sale the same day:
While presenting a proposal I drew the visual as I
explained my approach. The client said
"that's exactly why we need you"
(I measure the percentage return on my investment
in the thousands)
2. I will easily be able to use more visuals in my presentations:
I always have used visuals to describe my point of
view, but after reading Dr. Weiss' rationale and
descriptions for each visual in his book,
I better understood how to create and improve
even more of my own.
This was an unexpected benefit that I immediately began
profiting from the following week!
Still wondering why I didn't buy it sooner...
The Great Big Book Of Process Visuals.......2000-09-06
First, the overall approach of drawing visuals provides me with another way to explain concepts to people in a pragmatic way during a presentation. Now I ask myself, "What visual representation could I develop that would explain this idea in the fewest words possible?"
Second, I find the approach of using process visuals extremely effective in meeting with prospects. After listening to their description of their organization and the inherent challenges, I will draw a variety of visuals that captures what they are saying and guides them toward practical solutions. This generates tremendous conversation betwee the two of us and enhances the value they perceive that I can bring to them.
Third, Alan Weiss has provided us with fifty examples of process visuals with explanations of how to use them. As I read each one, I ask myself, "What other visuals could I draw that would deliver this same point?" Consequently, each of the fifty could generate three to four more process visuals. As a result, the original fifty can lead to an expanded "vocabulary" very quickly.
Fourth, he has all of the process visuals on a CD Rom. Therefore, anytime I want to I can download one of his visuals and use it in my presentations. This is a tremedous time saver. I particularly like the visual on connecting business goals to organizational education. Finally, I like the simplicity of the drawings because I am "artistically challenged."
Overall, this is a great resource for anyone needing to make a point to a group or an individual. Sometimes, one picture really can replace a thousand words.

a Magical Quest indeed.......2004-10-04
Finally a holistic approach.......2004-02-05
MAGICAL QUEST=SIMPLIFY YOUR CAREER CHOICE.......2003-01-07
Like the best-selling "Parachute" book, this one has all the basic steps, various career options, exploratory exercises, resume templates, and ways to evaluate correctly. But Magical Quest is far easier to read, shorter, and more interesting (artistic touches).
This is a book you can skim through and skip from chapter to chapter. The author has a special talent with her freehand mindmapping techniques (you'll have to see it for yourself) that make this career defining book truly unique.
For the person looking for a more personal and enlightened approach to career decision-making, Magical Quest is a gem to be discovered. It's the short-version to choosing a fulfilling career (or personal quest) with all the important content and special artistic effects.

great soul support.......2001-09-28
sure, the book is of course chock full of resources, and there are sections devoted to telling you what jobs are out there and the like.
but, in any job equation, there are two variables: YOU, and the job you take (or make). and -- probably owing to her experience in counseling -- tarin's book concentrates on YOU.
the book takes the approach that once you "know thyself" (thank you socrates, shakespeare, et al), you will be in a highly superior position -- a position where you can accurately assess any potential career, job, or manager, as to how well THEY fit YOU.
this is a wise approach. i mean, after all, haven't so many of us wasted time at 1 or more jobs struggling to be something we're not? or worse yet, not even *knowing* what we're good at, or want to do? and where has it gotten us? where we are today, right? :)
i spent a year for instance, in car sales, when i was a young man green behind the ears, trying to become "outgoing" and "extroverted", hoping that by going into a profession needing people with these traits, these qualities would rub off.
well, even though i sold a few cars, and picked up a few social skills (mostly how to be wary of crafty fellow salesmen/women!), i didn't become outgoing and extroverted. i stayed pretty much me. but the whole time i was MISERABLE!!!
while car sales is sort of a more dramatic example, most of us can still relate with jobs we've taken and later asked, "other than putting steak on the table, WHAT IN THE HECK AM I DOING HERE???"
this is where tarin excels. she really makes it not only comfortable, but FUN! to assess your strengths, weaknesses, and JOYS so you can find a job that fits YOU.
interspersed with poetry, quotes and parables, reading through "Magical Quest" is like having the wisest Mom who gently and lovingly tells you the facts of what's out there, but also has TONS of great little fun exercises to help you figure yourself out, (and make you smile and sometimes even laugh in between)..
once you've done that, the future is yours!
thanks, tarin, for a great spirit-guide-in-print, when you're looking for a job!

Book Description
This course identifies the financial challenges faced by typical retirees and describes solutions to meet them. The first part of the text addresses the key challenges to financial security in retirement. Topics discussed include the financial challenges of retirement as well as strategies for meeting them. The second section is a case study that zeroes in on the central concern of every retiree: how to set up a budget and an income stream to last a lifetime. The third part addresses a topic rarely considered in the past: wealth accumulation in retirement. These topics are of critical importance because people retiring today have to finance retirements that are lasting as long as 15, 20 and even 30 years.Due to the recent passage of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 many Dearborn courses have been affected. A quick reference guide on the Tax Act has been created to explain the impact the Act has on these courses. A quick reference guide will be included with the purchase of this course.
If you are taking this course for CE, the CE exam will automatically be added to your basket when selecting CE credit. Certain states require that a proctor/monitor supervise the exam taking process.
