The biggest hurdle between you and your plans for growth is this: nobody knows you. This is true if you’re a freelancer, an employee, an executive, even a company founder. You may be going all out with your company brand, but you’ve neglected to hone your own. But the first thing your business needs to grow, is you.
 
If you feel like there is way more potential than you are currently leveraging, this book is for you. It is for those wanting to scale their business. For those sitting on a great idea with nowhere to go next. For those experts looking for ways to share the knowledge. For those corporate execs who need to find the next competitive edge. And for those who simply want to find another career path.
 
It is time your prospects, future customers, investors or employer got to know you. Fix this basic flaw of remaining under the radar. With the insights in this book, you’ll set out your strategy and create content. Not just any content, but content that matters. Content that makes you tick and brings you the right contacts. Build your thought leadership and leverage it as a mechanism to scale your business—starting with yourself.

People want to change things, improve the world. Our mind cannot live without meaning. Just like the body asks for food. We all know that we have the leverage to make things happen. It’s important to know what to do, but it’s even more important to remember why you do what you do. Leaving a legacy is about impact surviving the erosion of time. About scaling and accelerating positive impact. Be ready to get inspired about leaving your own legacy.

How do you leave a legacy? What drives a legacy? How about your legacy statement? And how about growing your impact? Will you choose for scaling up, scaling deep, scaling out, or maybe even scaling down? Get carried away by the impact point of view and discover how you can grow the impact of your organisation too.

This book reveals strategies of a diversity of organisations, from NPO’s over associations, governmental and knowledge institutes to commercial organizations, who succeeded in growing their social impact. Because no matter in what kind of organisation you are spending your days, you too may leave a legacy that has improved our world socially or ecologically.

Que faire si votre collègue est percuté par un chariot élévateur ? Ou si un membre du laboratoire se brûle à la suite d’un contact avec un agent chimique ? Quelqu’un dans votre entreprise sait-il comment réagir lorsqu’un employé ou un visiteur a un malaise ?

Être en mesure de fournir les premiers soins de manière adéquate et efficace avec ce type d’incidents peut faire la différence. Ce livre contient les réponses pratiques aux maladies et aux traumatismes urgents les plus courants, qui peuvent se produire sur le lieu de travail et qui sont également décrits dans la législation actuelle.

Le Guide Pratique du Mémoire et autres TFE et les Dix Règles pour réussir un examen constituent, à eux deux, le remède parfait, à prescrire à tous les étudiants anxieux à l’approche d’un examen, de la rédaction et de la soutenance d’un mémoire ou d’une thèse.

À travers des conseils aussi pratiques que concrets, tant sur le rendu du travail que dans la préparation psycho-somatique de l’élève, ces deux ouvrages vous donne les clefs pour surpasser vos angoisses, mettre le stress de coté et vous redonner confiance durant ces périodes d’appréhension.

Il était donc naturel que La Charte vous propose une offre exceptionnelle et éphémère pour ces deux ouvrages qui n’ont qu’un seul objectif : votre réussite !

This book is not meant to come up with the typical ten point plan that you find in the plethora of books on “how to…” or “finding the shortcut to…”. It is simply not realistic to impose the one and only way to become a performance beast. We cannot be made immune to personal emotions and our brains work in a very unique way and therefore it seems illogical to accept the restrictions of such ten-point-plans. Dixie Dansercoer surely does not want to preach, generalise or standardise training methods to manipulate people into becoming high performers. Our brains may be trained just like muscles, but people cannot be as easily manipulated as flesh and bones.

The goal is to provide the reader with inspirational insights with respect to high performance, provide him/her with practical guidelines and stories to be read and shared without drowning in all-too-academic theories. The red line of polar exploration allows the author to write from the heart with accounts of his direct experiences. When confronted with the monotony of infinite white, wide-open spaces, one cannot but study the mental and psychological impact of these ambitious expeditions.

Do you have the dedication, discipline and concentration to finish what you set out to do? To be a high performer?
