Not being understood, except through handy soundbites of reassurance, Confidence continues to drive our daily routine without many of us even realising it, affecting the perception of how we view the world; dictating the nature of every single personal action; and quietly influencing the outcome of every result we get! Yet true Confidence cannot be remedied with instantaneous acts, no matter how well meaning the advice.Confidence works through emotions, and many people are afraid of those emotions: afraid to even acknowledge them, address them, or learn how to use them to greatest effect. This is because the true origin and nature of Confidence is not fully understood even by the stated advisers. Through simple tips, this book explains how you can make Confidence and assertiveness work for you in all areas of your life. It shows the power of perception in achieving what we want, and influencing the way others treat us, and why success often eludes some people.It also demonstrates clearly how to be successful at interviews and in the workplace; the 7 attributes of the most successful people; the confident way to change your career; how to maintain self-esteem during stressful times; how to cope with retirement, especially after a long career; how to age confidently and extend your life span through a positive and confident approach, and how striving for perfection erodes personal Confidence;. There are also self assessment quizzes to help you understand your personality, needs and emotional blockages.This book is likely to change your perception of yourself and what you can achieve!The Power of Confidence to Achieve Your Dreams! is part of The Essential Guide to Confidence which explains the origins of Confidence in greater detail, using the Sihera New Theory of Confidence (c), its routine impact on our lives, and why we act the way we do. If you are wondering why you might not have achieved some of the things you've set your heart on so far, this book could provide some answers!

Cheating, or betrayal, is one of the most emotionally draining occurrences that anyone has to cope with. This is because, no matter how much one might be 'expecting' it to happen and fear its reality, it can still be pretty devastating. Nothing ever prepares one for the rejection and loss of favour that is usually involved when one partner places his/her attention and affection on someone else. Cheating carries so many emotional feelings in its wake: shock, rejection, loss, bewilderment, hurt, denial, lack of understanding, confusion and, above all, anger and recriminations. Worse still, it is so much easier to cheat now because of technology, that some people are doing it with impunity. Cheating & Betrayal aims to clarify the common reasons why people cheat, using some useful advice, personal dilemmas and tips for how to keep cheating at bay and reduce its impact whenever it happens. It is easy to convince ourselves that our partnerships are solid and secure, and partners wouldn't dream of cheating on us. But that kind of complacent thought could be the first mistake in denying its potential reality. If nothing else, this book informs and educates about a subject that is lethal in its effects but tends to be reluctantly discussed. The 10 chapters include: what happens when attraction is gone; the most common issues between couples that cause cheating; the seven key triggers of unhappiness in relationships; why break-ups happen, especially after many years together; and the effects of dramatic emotional change after breaking-up. Some key topics are: - Three Crucial Factors That Make a Relationship Work; - Six Signs Your Spouse is no Longer Interested in You; - Dealing with Dishonesty and Distrust Between Couples; - How to get Change in a Partner; - Five Tell-Tale Signs Your Relationship is in Danger of an Affair; - Gender Perceptions in Relationships; - How to Recover from a Broken Heart; - Three key Factors that Help to Speed up the Healing Process......among many others.

What is Confidence? How do we become confident in the first place? How do we know if someone is really confident, or just pretending? What are the key attributes of a confident person? We are all aware of this common word, but not much is really known about Confidence and its true power. The Essential Guide To Confidence, a ground-breaking book that proposes a NEW THEORY of the nature of Confidence, removes the mystery surrounding the concept to reveal its meaning, origins, usefulness, and significance to our lives; how we can vastly improve our quality of life through boosting personal confidence, building self-esteem, and empowering ourselves in rewarding self-management. With Confidence being so pervasive, there is something for everyone among this book's pages, with the true nature of confidence explained in a way that has not been done before, including: - How Confidence is maintained; - Its strong connection to self-esteem and success, - How we lose Confidence - How Confidence controls relationships - How both perception and striving for perfection can damage it. In its easy, no-nonsense, conversational style, The Essential Guide to Confidence also provides self-assessment interactive quizzes that should help you establish your own level of personal Confidence, self-esteem, self-value, and happiness, as well as important tips on being assertive, more successful (for example at interviews), developing confident parenting, especially with teenagers, dealing with job loss and retirement, and ageing in a youthful, enjoyable, and confident manner.

Ever wondered what 'diversity' and 'inclusion' are about? Or would you like to embed them effectively within your organisation? This is the book for you. If you also lead any group of people and need to have knowledge of the fairest way to manage and empower them, managing the diversity maze will show you how to do it. With a focus on the persistence of racism, regardless of measures taken down the years, it will change your perception of interactions with people who are different.Over 15 chapters, managing the diversity maze gives a cohesive overview of diversity inclusion. It sweeps across the subject expertly, providing historical, political, business, and operational insights that are hardly found anywhere else. It clearly demonstrates: - the widespread ignorance of diversity inclusion;- the way language impacts upon human difference in a devastating way; - the big difference between equal opportunities and diversity, and their inherent contradictions; - the most powerful word that controls diversity beliefs and actions; - the reason gender bias and discrepancies in pay, will remain embedded in organisational systems; - the myths and misconceptions around diversity inclusion; - the most effective strategies to develop diversity within the workplace; - why diversity inclusion and public service objectives do not go together; - the pernicious and embedded effect of institutional racism;- the effect of institutional racism on minority contribution, recognition and achievement- the importance of diversity training for the most effective inclusion management;- how the recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce can be developed for the greatest benefit to the bottom line.....and much, much, more.The final chapter contains a Diversity Dialogue that includes some informative and fascinating articles from different perspectives on the concepts of diversity and racism, providing much food for thought and room for debate - a chapter designed to challenge inflexible beliefs around difference. There are also Reflection exercises throughout each chapter to help understanding of the concepts, subject matter, and particular points of discussion.As Elaine Sihera notes, with an uncomfortable truth about current diversity inclusion: "The 'business case' for diversity is important, but it should not be the only reason for good practice, neither should it negate the natural make-up of our world. After all, the White population has never had to justify its talent, presence, and inclusion with a 'business case'! Their presence has always been regarded as automatic to the work situation, judged on individual merit, according to the specific talents required - an important element in any kind of economic success."Elaine's irreverent, knowledgeable, no-nonsense style will keep you reading managing the diversity maze for some time. It promises to reveal much that will be informative, surprising, thought-provoking, and, above all, highly challenging!
