Body Language By Robert Phipps
Whether you’re closing a deal, managing people around you or simply asking for a pay rise, body language makes a huge difference. This handbook will teach you how to read other people’s body language, with practical tips on monitoring your approach in greetings, partings, presentations, negotiations and more. The book promises to unravel the unconscious effect non-verbal communication has on us all, with explanations on how to observe and read body language, ways to adapt your body language to give you more confidence and how to use body language to help you engage better with other people. Robert Phipps first became interested in body language when working within sales and marketing and soon built his knowledge through observations and research to advise some of the world largest companies, as well as featuring on the likes of GMTV, Big Brother and Trisha Goddard as a residential body expert. Phipps’ corporate clients include Lloyd TSB, HSBC, Citigroup, Slaughter & May, the Syrian Business Council and HP.

Yes I Can! By Robin Nixon
How many of us believe that we have the power to change our lives in ways we can’t even imagine? The power of creative visualisation has been recognised for centuries and before you pass this off as mumbo-jumbo, expect to find only practical, real world examples of change that you can achieve in your life, using tried and tested techniques based on psychology and science. Perhaps the highlight of the book are the simple five-minute exercises developed by motivational expert Robin Nixon, which have also worked wonders on thousands of others. Use the exercises as life blueprints, setting aside a few minutes each day to visualise the part of your life you wish to change and improve. On Robin Nixon’s personal site he quotes “By taking the time to soak in your world, study it, learn to love and learn to live it, and then sharing it with your friends and loved ones, you can become far more fulfilled and happy than you ever thought was possible. It’s simply a matter of taking the time to put things in focus, and then whatever goals you put your mind to become so much more achievable.”
