Jenni talks

Hi...

Dear Readers; Jenni is back! This month I share with you a new book from the co-author of the Chicken Soup of Soul, Jack Canfield. He once again co-wrote the new inspiring book, “Coaching for Breakthrough Success”, with Dr. Peter Chee, a renowned trainer.

Another interesting book that I would like to recommend to you is “Brick by Brick”

by David Robertson with Bill Breen. It’s all about the success of LEGO in the toy world. Can you imagine that they have been in the business for almost a century now? If you want to know how they survive and still going strong after all these years, you just have to check it out!

Plus, if you want to travel through time, read my Jenni Knows It! and get all the gadgets to relive the memory of the good old childhood days with your kids. But if you are hooked on to your books, add more fun with our Magnif-i. It’s a pocket lighted magnifier which will make your reading even more enjoyable.

Read, Dear, Read

If you think money can’t buy happiness, you’re not spending it right! When it comes to spending that money, most people just follow their intuitions. But scientific research shows that those intuitions are often wrong. “Happy Money” explains why you can get more happiness for your money by following five principles, from choosing experiences over stuff to spending money on others. These principles can be used not only by individuals but by companies seeking to create happier employees and provide “happier products” to their customers. “Happy Money” will prove the smartest purchase you ever make.

“The Science of Marketing” applies a scientific approach to the way businesses and brands approach marketing. It uses a combination of marketing, statistical, and psychological research to explain why and, more importantly, how, companies should adapt marketing strategies such as blogging, social media, email marketing, and webinars to achieve maximium results. The book contradicts what the author calls the “unicorns and rainbows” strategy that simply encourages companies to love their customers and hug their followers.

Instead, the book offers more substantial, proven tactics and tips gathered through scientific research and techniques.

By JOHN C. MAXWELL Hardback

In this perfectly compact read, #1 New York Times bestselling author John C. Maxwell explains how true leadership works. It is not generated by your title. In fact, being named to a position is the lowest of the five levels every effective leader achieves. To be more than a boss people are required to follow, you must master the ability to inspire and invest in people. You need to build a team that produces not only results, but also future leaders. By combining the advice contained in these pages with skill and dedication, you can reach the pinnacle of leadership-where your influence extends beyond your immediate reach for the benefit of others.

Whatever you want to do with your life -speak a language, change career, master yoga- you must master new skills. But where can you find the time? You are already busy, much too busy to spend the 10,000 hours Malcolm Gladwell claims you’ll need to master a new skill! Moreover, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating: if you can’t make it through the first 10-20 hours, you’ll never get to 10,000. Josh Kaufman’s “The First 20 Hours” is a systematic approach for acquiring new skills quickly with a small amount of practice each day.

Coaching for Breakthrough Success: review

Proven Techniques for Making Impossible Dreams Possible

9780071804639 COACHING FOR BREAKTHROUGH SUCCESS

By CANFIELD & CHEE 10

If you are a fan of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, you will be pleased to hear that Jack Canfieldthe co-creator of those inspirational books-has teamed up with a world-class trainer, Dr. Peter Chee, to come up with yet another groundbreaking book: “Coaching for Breakthrough Success.” Before we give the book a quick peek, I think you need to know a little more about our authors. I mean if you haven’t heard this, you should know that Jack Canfield-or rather Dr. Canfieldholds the title in the Guinness Book of World Records for an author with the most number of books on the New York Times Best Sellers List; having 60 bestsellers and 11 books that hit #1. He has co-authored more than 210 books, with 125 million copies in print in 47 languages! If you can read that in one breath, you should read this new book. I dare you!

For more than 40 years, Dr. Canfield makes his indelible mark as an inspirational speaker. He has been teaching Fortune 500 executives, entrepreneurs, corporate leaders, educators, and others from all walks of life, ages, cultures and backgrounds-guiding them toward happier, more successful and more fulfilled lives.

He has helped thousands of people excel beyond their self-imposed limits … succeed after job loss, business decline and career misfortune … move beyond toxic relationships and emotionally unhealthy behaviors … and finally creating the life and achieving results they desire.

Dr. Canfield said in one of his lectures: “Breaking through the success means breaking through all the barriers that is keeping us blocked. You have the power to create anything that you want. Literally anything! You can have it all. All you need to know is the key to unlock the lock.”

Similarly, Dr. Chee has been coaching and training business people in over 80 countries around the world for almost 30 years. This native Singaporean has extensive experience with world renowned business gurus as well as best-seller authors such as John C. Maxwell, Kenneth Blanchard, Thomas G. Crane, Tom Peters, Tony Buzan, Robert Tucker, Anthony Robbins, William J. Rothwell, and Brian Tracy. Dr. Chee

review

himself also has many successful coaching cases that he shares willingly with us in the book. His training, coaching, consulting and research experience resonate in the areas of Personal Excellence, The Success PrinciplesTechniques for Breakthrough Results, Leadership and Team Excellence, Coaching & Mentoring Excellence, Work, Life & Time Management, Motivation & Performance Management, Strategic Management, Sales and Marketing, Human Resource Development, Creativity and Innovation.

Dr. Chee quoted in one of his seminars: “Leaders are effective when they are able to coach and develop followers to produce sustainable results. When we develop others we develop ourselves even more and as a result we are able to multiply the value we add to our organization, our loved ones and the world. Coaching is certainly a highly fulfilling and rewarding work that can last a lifetime.” Dr. Canfield together with Dr. Chee have created the Situational Coaching Model, which provides coaches the flexibility they need to navigate seamlessly from one coaching paradigm to another.

If you are not making a career out of coaching and are wondering why you should care, I can tell you that “Coaching for Breakthrough Success” is for everyone who wants to grow and become successful in their lives’ endeavors.

In this book, Dr. Canfield and Dr. Chee not only show step by step of how anyone can assist others in improving performances at work, but also how they can achieve personal satisfaction in life. With the long list of both co-authors’ credentials, I’m not surprised that there’s a good mix of excellent materials between business and personal life in the book.

Here are some of quotes from those who got a sneak peek of the book: “The ability to coach is the very essence of effective leaders. Engaging the heart and inspiring the mind will unlock the utmost potential of people in any organization. This book puts it all together and provides proven techniques to achieve breakthrough performance. I believe it will have a profound impact on you as it has done for me and my organization.” Thomas Soo, General Manager, Intel Technology “Coaching is one of those terms that is thrown around on nearly a daily basis in modern management circles. But what does coaching mean?

What should people do to make coaching effective? Why is coaching so valuable? These otherwise vague questions are insightfully answered in this outstanding book.” William J. Rothwell, Ph.D., SPHR, Professor, The Pennsylvania State University and Author of over 80 books “Coaching for Breakthrough Success contains practical techniques to help you engage the hearts and minds of your people and inspire them to realize their fullest potential.” Christopher Goh Soon Keat, Director, Global Learning and Leadership Development, Agilent Technologies Singapore (International) Pte Ltd. “Coaching for Breakthrough Success has had a profound effect on me, as well as the people in my workplace. My team has told me that since studying Jack and Peter’s book I have become a better listener, communicator and leader. The decisions we now make are our decisions, and my staff are taking more ownership of the work they do. My career development has come on leaps and bounds after I applied what I learned from this book.”

Nick Jonsson, General Director, Sophie Paris

Are you as energized as I am? Perhaps through this book “Coaching for Breakthrough Success: Proven Techniques for Making Impossible Dreams Possible” we’ll make our own dreams come through that much quicker!

Every person is unique, but science has struggled to pinpoint where, precisely, that uniqueness resides. Our genome may determine our eye color and even aspects of our character.

But our friendships, failures, and passions also shape who we are. The question is: how? “Connectome” shows that our identity lies not in our genes, but in the connections between our brain cells—our particular wiring or ‘connectomes’. This book reveals the secrets of the brain, showing how our connectome makes each of us uniquely ourselves.

Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five. When he did not show up for a trial on Monday morning, his law clerks called the FBI. At the crime scene, there was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies - Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. I know who killed him, and why. I am a lawyer, and I am in prison.

By STEPHEN CRAFTI Hardback

Stephen Crafti has always been drawn to black houses, irrespective of the materials they are constructed in, be they zinc, timber or simply painted. Unlike most houses, which scream for attention, black houses sit quietly, accentuating the often-verdant landscape. There is also a sense of calm and tranquility with a black home. This book, showcasing black houses, is the starting point to this goal and will be organized according to the following themes: Black Exteriors; Living in Black; Details of Black; Kitchens & Dining in Black; and In Black And White.

Readers....

Jenni knows it!

lend me your eyes...

I’m back, readers, and I have a lot of goodies to share with you. See, I was editing the book review and Igot writer’s block, so I took a walk around one of our shops and found the nifty stuff that everybody overlooked.

Here we go with my “Hot Items” for June!

Tikky Mechanical Pencil When I was in high school, I used to have this “rotring” pencil pen. I remembered how cool I was with a “rotring” in possession. Then came many other products and my “rotring” was tucked in somewhere I couldn’t find it anymore. So, when I saw this new cool “Tikky Mechanical Pencil” by “rotring” I just had to get one. Boy oh boy, it’s still as cool as it has always been. The design is still unique and fit well with your fingers, yet they added soft grip for your comfort. Say, if you like a pen over a pencil, don’t fret, Tikky is also available in ballpoint pen. I don’t sketch, but I use it for writing purpose and it makes my ideas fly like crazy. Look it up!

Bah t

“Hello Kitty” water bottle

Baht

Jenni knows it!

Well, talking about childhood, I really envy kids these days.

They are lucky to have a lot of cute and fun gadgets! Take this “Hello Kitty” water bottle for example, don’t you just love it? The important thing is that its look matches with the quality. Why? It’s not just any Hello Kitty water bottle, it’s the Sigg water bottle from Switzerland!

They made it all terrain proof. It’s good for everywhere. Maybe I’ll buy it for myself. Why not?

Crayola Dry-Erase Activity Center

8 2 3Baht

I also saw this Crayola Dry-Erase Activity Center. It’s a real treat for kids. It’s not just an erasable board, it has these pre-printed templates that you can slide underneath and kids can learn to draw or write on it, erase it and draw again. So, it’s sort of learning and having fun at the same time.

0t 5 7Bah Sakura Washable markers Well, but if your kids are the little artist imp, you may need Sakura Washable markers. They come in many colors. They are easily washable. Imagine if your little artist wants to do a Picasso on your living room wall, you know it will come off anytime you want to.

Take a picture and keep it as a memento but clean it up afterwards.

It’s as easy as wipe and clean

That’s all the fun I have for this issue. Talk to you again next time.
