Empowerment Selling demonstrates the paradigm shift from selling a product or service by having to convince the customer that it’s the best product/service (which, at the extreme, would be high pressure sales) to facilitating the customer in a client-generated solution for a successful outcome which helps build collaborative, ongoing relationships—and a long-term sales win/win strategy. We are presenting a powerful approach we call The 3C Principle: Connect. Clarify. Cultivate. The 3C Principle focuses on the essence of this underlying empowerment philosophy for effective sales versus detailed mechanics or formulated scripts and the inference that the seller knows more than the customer.
Student self-assessment as a practice and as a goal in higher education is generally emphasised for academics. This book researches specifically what academics emphasise in their experiences of student self-assessment. The investigation focused on the different ways academics described their understanding and practice of self-assessment. These academics ways of experiencing student self-assessment are subsequently discussed in terms of assessment, learning and power.
Whilst there is much emphasis on student self-assessment as a practice and as a goal in higher education, there is less attention paid to how it is understood and used by academics. This book is about student self-assessment from the perspectives of academics in higher education who had provided their students with opportunities to judge their learning. The investigation focused on the different ways that student selfassessment was experienced by sixteen academics from a variety of disciplines and programs of study. The consequent research findings describe a structure of progressive awareness of meanings and practices of student self-assessment.

I have written this book, to share my passageway of how I became aware of the incredible power which exists within forgiveness. How I learned to become empowered by looking outside the walls of my pain and anger. How I moved beyond discomfort and confusion to release that which was determined to swallow me up, wholly and completely. My choice instead, was to take what was agonizing and terrifying in my life and turn it around, utilizing it to fuel my own self-empowerment. And, to bring my heart and mind the peace needed for healing.
A life of dignity is the right of every citizen and poverty is an obstruction to a dignified life. Of the 1.3 billion people who live in absolute poverty around the globe, about 55% are women. For these women, poverty doesn’t just mean scarcity and want, rather, rights denied, opportunities curtailed and voices silenced. Women, who represent half of the human resource are often not recognized and regarded so, due to their inferior positioning in the society. Empowerment’ is a continuous process by which powerless people become conscious of their situation, organize collectively to improve it and access opportunities, as an outcome of which they take control over their own lives, set their own agenda, gain skills, solve problems and develop self-reliance. Personal empowerment can lead to changes in existing institutions and norms, however, without the collective empowerment the personal empowerment and choices are limited, as Sen explains. The nature of empowerment can be diverse, depending upon the parameters that define the lack of power within the institutional framework in operation. In India, Micro finance intervention have brought tremendous change in the life of women.
The Holistic Self is an inspirational story of a woman, who despite the constraints of growing up in an Asian culture, managed to put herself through university in the USA and secure senior roles with major multinationals – before suddenly giving it all away. She experienced a spiritual phenomenon one night that would totally change the trajectory of her life-path. Her journey took her from Asia to Ireland in response to a mystical calling, and then unexpectedly onwards to Australia. She translated those events into a proven three stage program to help people find self-acceptance, empowerment and a love of their authentic self. If you have ever felt disempowered, anxious, or simply a ‘mis-fit’ – the insights and methods described in this book will inspire you to take control of situations that you may previously have found challenging, uncomfortable or even scary. The author’s research in such areas as sociology, psychology, spirituality, astrology, and various self-help areas is distilled into easily understood methods and templates. ‘EQ’ skill building, an innovative concept called “The Ulysses Paradox” and other methods collectively acts as a guide for your journey into self-discovery.
In Empowerment: The Competitive Edge in Sports, Business & Life high-profile personality Dr. Gene Landrum presents, in a self-help format, the 13 winning behaviors modeled by the 13 greatest athletes of the modern era. Landrum’s research into the lives of the great entrepreneurs and athletes, supported by a growing body of evidence, suggests that eminence, whether in business or sports derives not from genetic superiority, but from winning behaviors and learned emotional dispositions.
With a delightful blend of gifted story-telling and intellectual scholarship, Dr. Landrum has created a book that melds the recent discoveries in psychology and brain research with the dramatic performances of the world’s greatest athletes. Charismatic athletes such as Michael Jordan, Lance Armstrong, Martina Navratilova and Tiger Woods are analyzed in psycho-biographical profiles that focus on the underlying motivations and behaviors of these preeminent personalities rather than on what they achieved. In this respect and in its connection to the recent research in brain function and psychology, Dr. Landrum’s work is unprecedented in the extant literature on athletes and athletic technique.
