You know it in your gut—training and development is valuable and worthwhile. But as a trainer, you need to prove this fact over and over to clients focused on bottom-line results. While most training evaluation methods are too elaborate, too complex, too costly, too difficult to explain, or worse, produce data that nobody believes, Telling Training's Story offers a simple, compelling way of evaluating training's impact: The Success Case Method (SCM).Based on careful analysis of participants' first-person accounts of their experiences in a training initiative, SCM doesn't just measure the impact of training, but pinpoints the very factors that make or break training success. Filled with examples, illustrations, tools, and checklists, Telling Training's Story not only shares the power of the Success Case Method to evaluate training, it also offers practical step-by-step guidelines for increasing the ROI of future learning and performance initiatives.Preface Acknowledgments Part 1Chapter One Getting to the Heart of Training ImpactCan We “Prove” Training Impact?Chapter Two How the Success Case Method Works: Two Basic StepsTraining Evaluation RealitiesThe Success Case Method: Step by StepChapter Three Success Case Method Strategy—Building Organizational Learning CapacityThe Determinants of Training ImpactLearning Alone Is Insufficient Risks of the Common Training Evaluation StrategyAn Evaluation Strategy for Building OrganizationalLearning Competence A Fundamental Shift in FocusRedefining the Evaluation Process Implementing the Strategy to Drive Change Chapter Four Focusing and Planning a Success Case Method Study1.

OLD-SCHOOL top-down organizational behavior won't cut it anymore. Direct chain-of-command hierarchies are obsolete, fast giving way to networked, team-oriented organizations. To be successful, the ability to influence others-especially others over whom you have no direct control-is a must. You have to build alliances and persuade people, not boss them around.The ability to influence people isn't something you're born with, it's a skill anyone can acquire. In his new book, The Influence Edge, experienced organizational consultant Alan Vengel teaches the influence skills needed to enlist the cooperation of others, inside and outside the organization, to achieve your professional goals.Drawing on case studies and illustrative anecdotes from his consulting practice, Vengel introduces a powerful system of influence initiatives and strategic thinking that anyone can apply to almost any work situation. The Influence Edge details specific influence tactics that can lead to workplace success. It provides a nuts and bolts guide for planning for a real influence situation, and shows exactly how to map out a strategy. And The Influence Edge goes deeper into the influence realm to show how to build better long-term rapport, even with really difficult people.An interactive self-study guide, The Influence Edge offers immediate hands-on applications. Its heavily tested, practical insights are embodied in a variety of exercises that help readers evaluate their progress, reflect deeply on what they've read, and build a personal strategy for increasing their influence edge.Vengel equips readers to influence without authority, sell ideas, and build relationships. The Influence Edge is designed to be used again and again. It provides a complete toolkit for turning the often disorderly and seemingly impossible task of getting someone else to help you achieve your goal into an entirely viable process of analysis, preparation, and action.Foreword by Angel Rampy, Manager, Nortel NetworksIntroduction Chapter One: Why You Need Influence Skills Worksheet1: Determining Where You Want More Influence Five Good Reasons for Attaining Influence SkillsWorksheet 2: Determining What You Know About InfluenceBuilding Your Strategy Worksheet 3: Focusing Your Influence NeedsWorksheet 4: Identifying a Specific Influence Situation Chapter Two: Mastering the Two Fundamental Factors of Any Influence SituationThe Two Fundamental Factors of Any Influence SituationJim's Story Worksheet 5: Jim's Dilemma A Closer Look at the Two Fundamental Factors Worksheet 6: Applying the Two Fundamental Factors Influencing a GroupWorksheet 7: Influencing a Group Worksheet 8: Determining Your Action StepsChapter Three: Learning the Key Behaviors That Drive Influence SuccessWhat Is Push Energy?Worksheet 9: Being Smart About Push Energy What Is Pull Energy?Worksheet 10: Being Smart About Pull EnergyWhat Is Push/Pull Energy?Worksheet 11: Being Smart About Push/Pull EnergyFive Key Behaviors of Push, Pull, and Push/Pull EnergyBuilding Your StrategyWorksheet 12: Self-Assessment Putting the Five Key Behaviors to Work for You Building Your StrategyWorksheet 13: Practicing in the Field Chapter Four: Attuning to Personal Communication Styles Worksheet 14: Revisiting Your Situation Worksheet 15: The Authoritarian and You Worksheet 16: The Analyzer and YouWorksheet 17: The Visionary and You Worksheet 18: The Supporter and You Building Your StrategyWorksheet 19: The Four Communication Styles Chapter Five: Putting Together a Complete Influence StrategyWorking the Strategy Steps: The Leslie Problem Strategy Step One: Identifying Situational Factors Strategy Step Two: Identifying Behaviors Strategy Step Three: Determining the Behavior Sequence Strategy Step Four: Distancing StrategyChapter Six: Practice Scenarios for Increasing Your Influence Skills When to Use the Key Behaviors: A Closer LookGuide for Mastering the Key Behaviors More Practice Scenarios for Mastering the Key Behaviors Worksheet 20: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario One)Worksheet 21: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Two) Worksheet 22: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Three)Worksheet 23: Practice Makes It Perfect (Scenario Four) Chapter Seven: Honing Your Influence Edge by Building Rapport \Visual PeopleAuditory PeopleKinesthetic PeopleBuilding Your StrategyWorksheet 24: Representational Systems and Your Influence SubjectWrap-UpAbout the Author

Sustainable company growth isn't just a pipedream. This 3-part blueprint is your guide to avoiding the traps that cause growth to stall.As companies mature, their underlying growth naturally slows—this is called the 'growth curse'. It's a pervasive problem that plagues companies, CEOs, and board members alike. In order to safeguard a company's future, a strategic form of governance in which the board plays a more active role on behalf of all stakeholders, must be activated.This book is comprised of 3 parts. First it shows companies how to identify the traditional traps that hinder growth. The second part provides companies with a blueprint for building their board, defining long-term strategy, and adjustments necessary to serve continued growth. The final part delves into the specific ways that the board and executives must collaborate in relation to strategic renewal.Reimagining the limits of growth and how companies are run as a consequence provides an escape from the 'growth curse' at last.

There was motive enough for the murder of Fred Dunstable, but when Inspector ‘Jimmy’ Waghorn is sent down to the little village of Cradwell to investigate his death, he finds it difficult to be satisfied with any of the solutions offered by the local police. Whose was the half-smoked cigarette found near the body? Why did Kenneth Neasden want £100 so desperately? It is not until further violence has been done that the answers to these and many other questions are found. An ingeniously contrived plot and a gripping climax.

« Réparer les relations brisées dans l’Église » s’inscrit dans une démarche biblique, pastorale, contextuelle et pratique pour aborder les conflits internes dans les communautés chrétiennes souvent négligés. Il se distingue par une approche à la fois pratique et spirituelle de la gestion des conflits. À travers une plume lucide, l’auteur explore les causes profondes : spirituelles et doctrinales, différences de tempérament, absence de pardon, luttes d’influence, réformes mal gérées, mauvaise gestion des biens, pressions contemporaines, blessures ignorées, frustrations, manque d’écoute, poids des traditions, rumeurs mal traitées, etc. Loin d’un simple constat, il propose des stratégies concrètes : formation au leadership spirituel, veille théologique, culture du pardon, gouvernance inclusive, soutien aux ministres, intégration des dons spirituels, usage éclairé des technologies, etc. L’auteur conjugue méditations bibliques, témoignages, études de cas contextualisées, stratégies et solutions pragmatiques. Destiné aux pasteurs, évêques, anciens(anciennes), responsables de départements, chefs de familles, de cellules, formateurs et fidèles soucieux de voir l’unité triompher, ce livre est un outil de restauration. Finalement, l’ouvrage interpelle chaque croyant en filigrane, en tant qu’ambassadeur de la réconciliation en ces termes : « Le vent des conflits souffle… où es-tu ? »

Personne n’attendait cet auteur-là, cette prose sèche, ces émotions tenues à distance sous une croûte à ne pas gratter.

« Un pauvre homme, dans ce livre, s'arrache, non sans douleur, de rouges morceaux de vérité.» Au fil de cinq « confessions » adressées à un médecin de l'hôpital psychiatrique de la Salpêtrière, l'écrivain Jean Martin raconte ce qui l'a amené à l'internement : les mille distractions de la vie quotidienne, l'écartèlement entre deux femmes et, enfin, ses sentiments pour la fille de sa compagne. Au bout du chemin : l'anorexie et la dissociation de la personnalité. Se réfugier à la Salpêtrière, c'est pour lui fuir la dispersion, retrouver la simplicité et se consacrer à son idéal : la littérature. Né à Anvers en 1875, journaliste à Bruxelles, André Baillon est mort à Saint-Germain-en-Laye en 1932 d'une absorption fatale de barbituriques. Ce solitaire, cet écorché vif, a fait de sa vie la matière première de son oeuvre. Né à Anvers en 1875, journaliste à Bruxelles, André Baillon est mort à Saint-Germain-en-Laye en 1932 d’une absorption fatale de barbituriques. Écartelé entre plusieurs amours, entre besoin de simplicité et pulsions morbides, ce solitaire, cet écorché vif, avait fait sa vie la matière première de son œuvre. Le thème de la folie, transcende son œuvre, notamment dans Le Perce-oreille du Luxembourg ou, ici, Un homme si simple, dont les accents autobiographiques sont manifestes.

De l'aveu de Maurice Maeterlinck, ce livre n'est ni un traité d'apiculture, ni une monographie scientifique de l'abeille, ni un recueil d'observations. Plus d'un siècle après sa parution en 1901 chez Fasquelle, le jour où paraissaient ses traductions anglaise, allemande et néerlandaise, La Vie des abeilles n'en continue pas moins de susciter la curiosité des amateurs et des scientifiques. La Vie des abeilles est le livre d'un penseur humaniste, témoin attentif du quotidien des insectes, qui n'a eu de cesse de les comparer aux sociétés humaines. Maeterlinck s'attache à décrire le fonctionnement d'une organisation sociale perfectionnée, dans laquelle chaque abeille occupe un rôle bien défini comme au théâtre. Par-delà l'analyse, La Vie des abeilles offre une lecture politique de la ruche et témoigne de préoccupations proto- écologiques. Car la catastrophe qu'engendrerait l'anéantissement des abeilles n'avait pas échappée à Maeterlinck. Cet essai est suivi de L'Intelligence des fleurs, paru six ans plus tard, proposition philosophique et morale au départ de ses connaissances en botanique. Né à Gand en 1862, Maurice Maeterlinck se consacre rapidement à la littérature. Dès 1889, il publie un recueil de poèmes, Serres chaudes, et une pièce de théâtre, La Princesse Maleine, qui traduisent ses préoccupations symbolistes. Poète, dramaturge et essayiste, il reçoit en 1911 le Prix Nobel de littérature. Il meurt à Orlamonde, près de Nice, en 1949.

« Les me?te?ores ? On a pris l'habitude de ne nommer me?te?ores que les astres errants, les e?toiles filantes ou la foudre. Or, tous les phe?nome?nes qui se passent dans l'atmosphe?re re?pondent a? ce beau nom. La gre?le, le brouillard et les pe?tales de la rose des vents sont des me?te?ores, ainsi que le givre, le gre?sil et le de?gel, l'arc-en-ciel et le halo lunaire, et aussi, les silencieux e?clairs de chaleur ou? se libe?re l'angoisse des nuits de juillet ; me?te?ores enfin le rougeoiement des couchants et les lueurs vertes de l'aube. Ayant redonne? leur ve?ritable nom a? tous ces demi-dieux aile?s, qui obe?issent au Temps-qu'il-fait ou servent le Gulf-stream, il faudra aussi que nous rendions a? nos sens e?mousse?s leur subtilite? premie?re. De?s lors, tous les plaisirs des me?te?ores nous deviendront accessibles.» Marie Gevers a passe? toute son enfance dans le domaine familial de Missembourg, ou? elle rec?ut cette e?ducation mi-francophone mi-flamande dont on retrouve les traces dans son univers romanesque. Entre?e en litte?rature avec la poe?sie, qui la fera remarquer de Verhaeren et d'Elskamp, elle s'adonne au re?cit a? partir de La Comtesse des digues (1931). Comme le donnent a? voir entre autres Madame Orpha (1933) et Vie et mort d'un e?tang (1950), ses the?mes majeurs sont le souvenir et la communion de l'homme avec la nature. Autrice belge francophone d’origine flamande, Marie Gevers (1883–1975) a écrit des romans, de la poésie, des contes pour enfants. Elle a également traduit des auteurs flamands. Son écriture est influencée par son enfance, passée en Campine, et marquée par les thèmes de la nature, l’eau, le rythme des saisons. Marie Gevers a été la première femme élue à l’Académie royale de Langue et Littérature françaises de Belgique en 1938.

En 1938, Marie Gevers fut la première femme élue à l’Académie royale de langue et de littérature françaises de Belgique. Marie Gevers est l’autrice d’une œuvre considérable.

À Aprilia, les hautes eaux exceptionnelles prévues pour 2030 ont eu un peu d’avance: la lagune est défigurée, l’eau engloutit désormais la station balnéaire, le climat a viré au subtropical, végétation et maladies comprises. Mais ce sont les répercussions de l’impact d’un astéroïde qui ont achevé de ravager la lagune en phase d’abandon. Graham est désormais l’un de ses seuls résidents, et à l’aide de sa station d’écoute, il constate que les lieux du crash de l’aérolithe affolent encore les instruments de mesure des engins qui survolent la zone. «Lagune morte» est l’une des dix-sept nouvelles qui composent ce volume consacré à Dominique Warfa, figure belge incontournable de la science-fiction. Écrits entre 1976 et 2022, ces textes recouvrent près de cinquante années d’écriture. Ils offrent un parcours à travers les nombreuses thématiques chères à l’auteur et les multiples déclinaisons d’une science-fiction, parfois teintée de fantastique. Dominique Warfa est né en 1954, il est écrivain, critique et essayiste. Dès les années 70, il intègre, pour ne plus le quitter, le milieu de la science-fiction. Depuis, il publie principalement ses nouvelles au sein d’anthologies et de revues spécialisées (Fiction, Galaxies, Bifrost)dans lesquelles il développe volontiers sa plume d’essayiste et de critique. Dominique Warfa est né en 1954. Il est un intense lecteur de toute littérature, des avant-gardes parisiennes aux récits de genre. La découverte de la science-fiction vers 1970 le pousse vers l’écriture de nouvelles. Des premiers textes publiés dans des fanzines dès 1975 aux collaborations à des revues et anthologies diverses, il aligne une production réduite mais remarquée. Parallèlement, il a mené une œuvre d’essayiste et de critique sur la SF.
