The Strengths BookDiscover How To Be Fulfilled In Your Work and In Life Sally Bibb

It’s human nature to focus more on our weaknesses because we are programmed to be alert to risks in our environment. We end up focusing on what isn’t working, often overshadowing all the positives. But what if you focused on and played to your strengths instead?

This practical and succinct book aims to revolutionize your life by helping you to identify what exactly makes you happy so that you will make the right choices; decide whether a job, activity, or course is right for you; and understand why things seem to flow with some activities and some people, and not others.

Knowing these things about yourself and spending more time on what really energies and fulfills you—your strengths—will ultimately lead to a happier and more successful life.

Sally Bibb is a leading figure in the strengths movement and is the author of Strengths-Based Recruitment and Development. She is a consultant and previously worked at The Economist.

The Smart Selling BookUsing Brains, Not Brawn, To Succeed In SalesMark Edwards

Many lessons in sales (and in life) can only really be understood with the benefit of hindsight—for with hindsight comes a broad and deep perspective along with a greater understanding and acceptance of the strengths and weaknesses of ourselves and of others. Distilled into this compact volume is a collection of sales related insights, lessons, strategies and techniques that have been passed on, acquired, discovered, and experientially learned (sometimes painfully) during a 30-year sales career that has taken the author all over the world.

Described with a mix of written and visual explanations, hand-drawn graphics, and illustrations, each piece of advice is presented to aid understanding and to develop a more considered, smarter approach to overcoming many of today’s sales-related problems and situations.

Mark Edwards is the founder of Whiteboard Strategies Ltd, a consultancy that specializes in sales strategy, training, and visual communications. He is the author of The Visual Communications Book.
