Soft Skills for the Professional Services Industry: Principles, Tasks, and Tools for Success
by Andreas CreutzmannSoft Skills for the Professional Services Industry Auditors, accountants, lawyers, consultants, and other highly educated and trained professionals frequently hold impressive credentials and offer clients specialized expertise in complex areas. At the same time, these professionals understandably focus on the analytical and technical components of their jobs, sometimes to the point of excluding or ignoring important soft skills critical to the success of their careers and practices. In Soft Skills for the Professional Services Industry: Principles, Tasks, and Tools for Success, veteran auditor and entrepreneur Andreas Creutzmann delivers an essential discussion of often overlooked professional competencies that can mean the difference between career, engagement, and business success or failure. In the book, you’ll find accessible guidance on critical soft skills that can make a difference between fulfilment and success and failure on a professional and personal level. You’ll learn to handle the blending of home and the home office, how to effectively manage staff, how to market yourself and your firm, practical strategies for client and colleague communication, and how to find happiness in your day-to-day work. Each chapter stands alone and can be read in any order. They provide professionals with invaluable skills for navigating the modern—and digital—reality of work, showing you how to combine your professional education with the latest research and common sense on everything from client management to firm marketing. Soft Skills for the Professional Services Industry uses the field of auditing as a template and guide, but it is highly relevant to all skilled professionals – including lawyers, consultants, medical professionals, and others. The book is a must-read for any knowledge worker trying to add to their toolbox of practical skills. Critical guidance for practicing professionals on how to build often overlooked soft skills Most highly educated and trained professionals aren’t lacking in analytical or technical skills. Lawyers know the law, accountants understand double entry bookkeeping, and doctors know anatomy. However, many of us are less familiar with often overlooked—and equally essential—soft skills: client management, communication, staff and employee management, and others. In Soft Skills for the Professional Services Industry, accomplished auditor, entrepreneur, and consultant Andreas Creutzmann walks you through how to build critical competencies, from self-marketing to balancing work and life when your office is in your house. The book is made up of numerous, self-contained chapters that can be read in any order, and it demonstrates how to navigate increasingly digital and insistent professional demands on your time, effectively manage client and colleague relationships, and sell new clients on the services your firm offers. An essential roadmap to achieving personal and career success, Soft Skills for the Professional Services Industry is an indispensable resource for lawyers, doctors, accountants, auditors, and any other extensively skilled professional. It offers practical tools in functional areas that are frequently neglected in formal professional training.

Una sola semilla hace que la tierra sea más verde
by OshoLa sociedad no puede tolerar la individualidad porque nuestra propia individualidad impedirá que sigamos un solo camino como si fuéramos ovejas. La individualidad tiene la cualidad del león, el león se mueve solo. Actualmente, el planeta Tierra sufre destrucciones aceleradas. Osho considera que las propuestas ecológicas no son suficientes para transformar el mundo y evitar la destrucción del planeta. Para Osho, la solución a esto se encuentra en el zen: la transformación sólo será posible por medio de la meditación, la rebelión en contra de las tradiciones. La revolución espiritual es lo que transformará a todo el planeta. En estas charlas, Osho reflexiona y critica con mucho sentido del humor no sólo a las religiones sino a todas las doctrinas que han cubierto de oscuridad a toda la humanidad. Con un lenguaje sencillo y directo, Osho arremete contra las costumbres políticas, religiosas y culturales de Oriente y Occidente. Ninguna se salva del ojo crítico del místico contemporáneo que se atrevió a vivir como un león.
Solace
by Mary SojournerNPR commentator Mary Sojourner, "a pithy yet sensuous, spiritual yet ferocious writer" (Booklist), delivers a powerful memoir about the joys of rejecting the pace, addictions, and false values of society...and learning to live without compromise. Twenty years ago, Mary Sojourner was a mental health consultant and counselor in Rochester, New York, a divorced mother of three, longing for her real work, her real home. She found it in Flagstaff, Arizona, in a remote two-room cabin that had no running water and only a wood stove for heat, but offered Sojourner everything she needed in terms of light, beauty, joy, and the perfect setting for writing and reconnecting. Solace is a book about obsession and release, and the lifelong search for balance in a world revolving around appetite and acceleration. Written in short, beautifully crafted pieces, the book carries the reader through Sojourner's life, from a restrained Catholic childhood to the excesses of her generation, through motherhood and divorce to her quiet, solitary existence in the Southwest, where she has learned the importance of living at the right pace. Sojourner's voice is as compelling on the page as it is on the radio -- lively, funny, moving, combining the outspoken out-of-stepness of Anne Lamott with the environmental activism and poetic prose of Terry Tempest Williams. In chapters with titles such as "God Is Coming and She Is Pissed" and "How to Leave: Leave," her vivid personality, passion, and sense of humor come through. This is a book for women everywhere -- those who recognize their own truths in Mary's life and younger readers who will find inspiration in her hard-won wisdom.

Solitude a Return to the Self: A Return To The Self (Flamingo Ser.)
by Anthony StorrOriginally published in 1988, Anthony Storr's bestselling meditation on the creative individual's need for solitude has become a classic.A pre-eminent work in self-help and popular psychology literature, Solitude was seminal in challenging the psychological paradigm that “interpersonal relationships of an intimate kind are the chief, if not the only, source of human happiness.” Indeed, most self-help literature still places relationships at the center of human existence. Lucid and lyrical, Storr's book argues that solitude ranks alongside relationships in its impact on an individual’s well-being and productivity, as well as on society's progress and health. Citing numerous examples of brilliant scholars and artists—from Beethoven and Kant to Anne Sexton and Beatrix Potter—he argues that solitary activity is essential not only for geniuses, but often for the average person as well. For nearly three decades, readers have found inspiration and renewal in Storr's erudite, compassionate vision of the human experience—and the benefits and joy of solitude.
Solo: Building a Remarkable Life of Your Own
by Peter McGraw"Brilliant and provocative, Solo transcends the loneliness narrative surrounding single life. It's not just about being OK with being alone; it's about the incredible freedom and endless opportunities that come with it. McGraw combines science and wisdom to unlock the secrets that Solos have always known: life is richer when you are the hero of your own story." —Kristin Newman, author of What I was Doing While You Were Breeding Join the movement that celebrates single living with Peter McGraw’s groundbreaking book, Solo.Amid the complexities of modern relationships, loneliness epidemics, and online dating burnout, there’s a refreshing alternative: going Solo. “Solos,” as coined by behavioral economist Peter McGraw, are people who choose to lead their lives authentically, purposefully, and passionately outside the confines of traditional relationship labels. In a world built for two, Solos break the rules and hold space for every type of individual—single and not. Meet the thriving “Just Mays,” who welcome romance if it comes their way, the determined “No Ways,” who prefer life unpartnered, and the bold “New Ways,” who redefine and redesign what relationships even mean. Which one are you?In contrast with the “Someday” singles who hang personal fulfilment on the success of a “serious” long-term relationship, McGraw reveals the secrets of happiness that Solos have already unlocked, offering readers a roadmap to reinventing sex, dating, romance, and beyond. Backed by scientific insights and McGraw’s experience as a lifelong bachelor, Solo offers a blueprint for cultivating fulfilling relationships and creating a rich, remarkable life. Solo is your invitation to pursue a life uniquely your own.

PaisNo cuento con esa información, al parecer, en este caso, todo lo que tengo es una sección de un libro más grande o una sección de lo que probablemente será un libro más grande, por lo pronto espero se revisada la presente traducción, ya que, lo correspondiente a mi traducción se ha llevado a cabo de forma puntual y completa. Al parecer la entrega del presente trabajo fue calificada como retrasada, a lo cual, hago mención que creo se debió a que el autor tardó demasiado en notificarme si las primeras 10 páginas serían aceptadas o no, por lo que estaré atento a lo que surja.

Soloing: Realizing Your Life's Ambition
by Harriet RubinSoloing has two meanings: "going it alone" and being "complete in yourself." . . . But you don't just leave--a company/a career/a paycheck--and cross over to a more satisfying life. There's more to it. There is a mysterious passage to be negotiated, a delicate transition required to go from alone-in-the-desert to complete-in-yourself.Harriet Rubin, bestselling author of The Princessa: Machiavelli for Women, returns with inspiring advice for professionals dreaming of crossing over from a corporate world of prescribed boundaries to the limitless opportunities of soloing. She describes how people can do great things--things they would never be able to accomplish inside the corporate structure--when they manage or lead no one.As one successfully navigates the passage toward a truer sense of self that Rubin describes, four invaluable freedoms await:The first freedom is regaining your sense of identity.Walk out of any big company and who are you, stripped of that mighty identity? Potentially bigger and better than before. Who were you before the corporate you? To get back one's sense of self is why people go solo.The second freedom is independence.Why is working alone so important in doing great work, given that it's also the scariest part? Imagine having complete command and control over your time and the work you do. This is how soloists realize their great strengths: They are reduced to themselves.The third freedom is income.You can earn in one year what you earned in two before. Do you work harder to do this? Yes. Do you enjoy it more? Yes. Solo money is alive. Unlike a salary doled out like an allowance from parents, the money earned by soloing is a true emblem of a person's worth.The fourth freedom is illumination.A professional builds a career, but a soloist builds a portfolio and a life free of boredom, full of challenge. Direct contact with work itself is direct contact with life.With insights as diverse as Henry David Thoreau's "I want to be sure the world doesn't change," and Michael Jordan's response to the statement: "There's no 'I' in team,"--"That's right, but there is an 'I' in win,"--Rubin gives readers the chance to bring their dreams into alignment with reality.

More than 4,000 churches in America close their doors every year.God&’s people keep praying for God to transform Washington, Hollywood, or Wall Street, but revival always begins with God&’s people themselves.
A Solovyov Anthology
by Vladimir SolovyovHailed as "the Russian Newman", the great Eastern theologian, poet and mystic Vladimir Solovyov has been unjustly neglected in the West. More recently however, leading Catholic figures such as John Paul II (in his encyclical Fides et Ratio) and Cardinal Giacomo Biffi (at a recent international conference on Solovyov held in Bologna) have called for a revival of interest in the work of this prophetic figure. Born into the Russian Orthodox Church, Solovyov was a life-long advocate for the authority of the Pope, and was received into the Catholic Church toward the end of his life.-Print ed.
