We all need help--especially in today's uber-collaborative workplaces. Here's the good news: humans are naturally wired to want to help each other. Now here's the bad: asking for help makes most of us wildly uncomfortable. As a result, we do a poor job of calling in the reinforcements we need, leaving confused or even offended colleagues in our wake. This pragmatic book explains the research on what psychologists call social intelligence. To elicit helpful behavior from their colleagues, you need to do two things: 1) Remove the obstacles that stand in the way of them helping you; 2) Trigger one or more of the motivations that make people want to help. Whether you're a first-time manager or a seasoned leader, getting people to do things for you is what management is. This book will help you do so, and do it in a way that leaves your helpers feeling good about pitching in.--

Did you know that the $600 billion-a-year global weight loss industry has a 95 percent failure rate for weight loss sustainability? Immaculate Consumption: The Path to Lifelong Weight Management offers a scientifically based weight loss program designed to empower dieters to achieve long-lasting results. After years of yo-yo dieting and spinning wheels trying various commercial diets, author Deena Solomon was unhealthy and emotionally disheartened. She realized the traditional weight loss methodology -- blind adherence to rules, forbidden foods, mandatory compliance -- failed to adequately prepare dieters to adapt to the ever-changing temptations, often leading to an unrecoverable relapse. The Immaculate Consumption method is refreshingly different. There are no forbidden foods or abstinence-only models. Using real-life, relatable interactions with former clients to illustrate her methods, Dr. Solomon asks dieters to become scientific researchers into their own food habits and psychology, enabling them to take personal responsibility for their eating habits in a positive way. And with a documented 84 percent success rate, the Immaculate Consumption model has proven successful in maintaining long-term weight loss. Learn how to: • Be the competent and proactive captain at the helm of your own journey • Use scientifically valid empirical evidence and apply it to your own custom weight loss plan • Profoundly change your relationship with food • Effectively use tools such as scientific observation and food ledgers to guide you during both everyday and anomalous meal situations • Shed the persistent shame and guilt from having "failed" at other commercial diets This revolutionary new approach to weight loss may help you shed those extra pounds for good.

Accelerate strategy and achieve desired results with this guide to understanding and influencing employee behaviour, based on the theory and practice of strategic management, behavioural psychology and change. The realisation of strategy is entirely dependent on employee behaviour, so in order to achieve business results it is vital that managers and leaders develop an understanding of human behaviour. Advancing Strategy through Behavioural Psychology shows that by identifying which behaviours should be measured and encouraged, organizations can succeed in implementing strategies for continuous adaptation in a rapidly changing business environment. Grounded in practitioner experience and academic research, this book argues that to achieve set goals organizations should spend less time planning and sending out instructions and more time on providing feedback on implementation and drawing out key points to be learned. By focusing on behaviour in this way, organizations can create a culture where innovation is encouraged and employees want to contribute to the company's future. Ensure long-term success and seize competitive advantage with this essential guide to identifying the key behaviours which will create business results and what influences them.

This book focuses on tier two strategies for classroom management. When teachers feel empowered with information, classroom management is easier. This book is filled with specific strategies based on Dr. Riffel's Triple T- Triple R chart. The three T's are 1) Trigger (what sets the behavior in motion), 2) Target (what behavior do you want to target for change), and 3) impacT (what is the student gaining or escaping by engaging in this behavior). The three R's to combat the three T's are 1) Revise the environment (set the student up for success by changing the environment, 2) Replace the behavior (Teach the student what you want to see instead of telling them what not to do, and 3) Reframe your response (change how you react to the target behavior and feed the replacement behavior. When these three formats are followed, the behavior dissipates. This book also includes specific strategies on many common classroom target behaviors. This book coincides with Dr. Riffel's Tier Two Training.

The other type of partial reinforcement schedule, an interval schedule, is based on the amount of time that has passed between reinforcements. You still have to respond to get a reward, but you have to wait a certain time before your ...

He constantly studies trends in business and talks with sales professionals the world over, learning from them and teaching them at the same time.
