A guide for positive interpersonal communications. 99 pages inistruction manual and a 72 minutes video
Book Description
Improve communication skills and watch productivity soar!
In today’s fast-paced, sound byte world, effective communication is still the foundation of organization success. Clear communication helps to develop interpersonal understanding and enhances a person’s ability to understand and solve complicated problems. Work teams, in particular, rely on their members to communicate effectively.
Despite this obvious need, communication inside and outside of organizations is frequently ineffective. Two difficulties are often the culprits: sharing information and finding common ground.
The Communication Skills Profile was designed to help people who want to gain a thorough knowledge of the processes of communication and to improve their effectiveness as communicators. It focuses on two main areas essential for effective communication:
After completing the 48-item self assessment and scoring the responses, participants are instructed to draw up an individual profile based on the author's six-axis model. Each axis in the model corresponds to one of the six essential aspects of effective communication.
Participants will learn how to:
-
Slow down their thought process
-
Make themselves understood
-
Test their conclusions
-
Listen constructively
-
Get to the bottom of things without interrogating
-
Explore disagreement
Everything you need to conduct a successful 2- to 3-hour communications training module is inside this single workbook. Purchase one copy for yourself and one copy for each participant. The workbook includes:
-
A 48-item questionnaire (takes approximately 10-20 minutes to complete)
-
Scoring instructions (scoring takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete)
-
Profile interpretation and analysis
-
Action planning guide
Both individuals and groups will find the Communication Skills Profile to be extremely useful and informative. Individuals will be able to identify areas for improvement; groups can use the tool to assess both individual team members as well as the group as a whole. All participants will be given the opportunity to develop the skills to listen and convey important information clearly and effectively!

Book Description
When individuals or organizations face significant situations or challenges, one of the first priorities is to understand the issues involved and to work out what needs to be done. In many cases, we do not need any formal assistance to help this process and can think our way through the steps that seem to be most appropriate. However, on occasion the issues or the problems may not be entirely clear and a structured approach can help considerably.
To meet this need, HRD Press has a suite of simple and easy-to-use but comprehensive diagnostic assessment profiles to help people understand their skills or the situations they face more effectively. HRD Press' diagnostic assessments fall into three categories:
Assessments that measure the individual are concerned with competency. These profiles provide participants with an inventory of their relative skills in subcategories within each topic.
Assessments that measure the team's or organization's performance as a whole (usually relative to the individual's perception of his or her own performance or level of competence).
Assessments that measure a particular task or situation in which the style that is adopted or utilized by the individual or by others is important to understand.
All of these assessments are described in detail on the subsequent pages. In most cases, assessments have comprehensive facilitator guides to explain the underlying structure of the profile and to help facilitators to provide structured feedback. Person and organization assessments also have detailed coaching guides which provide practical "how to" tips on each question in the relevant profile.

Book Description
Stop wasting time on unfocused and unproductive meetings!
A Common Sense Survey for Assessing the Meeting Effectiveness of Intact and Ongoing Groups
How effective are your meetings? Do people come well-prepared? Is there an agenda? Does everyone participate? Are participants open to the ideas of others? Do you spend most of your time on the most important things?
With this survey, you can diagnose the effectiveness of your meetings and identify practical ways to improve them. Designed for evaluating intact and ongoing groups and teams that meet at least once a week, this tool is an excellent choice if you want to:
Stop time-wasters—such as gabbing, deferring decisions, talking an issue to death or listening to blowhards
Put clear processes and protocols in place—the nuts and bolts of good meetings
Get everyone to participate
Participants will respond to 50 statements relating to effective meetings. The statements address five key elements of effective meetings, identified through extensive research and observations of thousands of meetings over 20 years:
Effective decision-making processes
A focus on results
Positive group climate
Basic procedural and protocols
Real participation and engagement
Whether you're a facilitator, group leader or consultant, this is a user-friendly tool—not a complex and validated instrument—that will help you approach meetings in a disciplined way to ensure the outcomes you need.

No more wasting time at meetings.......2006-06-28
All too often, meetings are dominated by two or three people who are more interested in hearing themselves talk than in maximizing the productivity of the group. Furthermore, how often have you left a meeting feeling frustrated that nothing got accomplished?
This book contains a number of systematic recommendations on how to handle these and many other pitfalls. The authors offer dozens of insights, some of which are common sense (for example, no personal attacks) while others are very creative methods to keep meeting attendees involved and accountable. One such idea is to recognize how the group makes decisions - consensus, chair's discretion, voice vote, or secret ballot - and rotate these techniques so that no single personality type is always in control.
Be warned that there are no eye-catching graphics or hip cultural references here. But if you want a no-nonsense, no-frills, textbook-like primer on how to get the most out of your meetings, check out this material.
A great resource!.......2006-01-20
My team and I at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society are proud to be highlighted as a case study in the book. Pat Sanaghan's direct work with us, which started with the effective meeting profile survey, established a clear base line for us to better utilize our strengths and understand our challenges regarding meeting management. We are putting our learnings into practice and have become a model team in the organization as a result. The book is an valuable tool for any business or organization that is "meeting driven". Thanks Pat!
Identifying Opportunities for Improvement in Groups.......2004-05-08
I highly recommend this book to any group who wants to uncover opportunities! It helps break down group interactions into manageable parts that are not too overwhelming to understand. Once the opportunities for improvement are identified, the book helps to guide a group through next steps. It doesn't just identify the problem areas, but provides solutions as well. This book is very valuable.
Our meetings are 100% better..........2004-04-23
This meeting inventory has taken our meetings to a new level of productivity. It was so easy to administer and score, plus it gives ideas for how to improve the areas that we needed to work on. I recommend this meeting survey to any leader who is serious about having meetings that are both enjoyable and productive. A great find for our organization.

Book Description
Understanding the clinical side of child development is one challenge. Developing a practical way to stimulate development day by day is quite another challenge, one that Helping Babies Learn meets well. This imaginative book is packed with developmental activities that fit easily into daily life. Parents and professionals alike will enjoy a deeper understanding of child development and a renewed enthusiasm for encouraging-and enjoying-a child's growth. And the innovative technique of presenting the text from the child's point of view gives adults new insight into the child's world. Helping Babies Learn was developed by a team of professionals experienced in child development work-Setsu Furuno, Ph.D.; Katherine A. O'Reilly, PT, MPH; Takayo T. Inatsuka, OTR; Carol M. Hosaka, M.A.; and Barbara Zeisloft Falbey, M.S., CCC-SLP. The manual encompasses a wide range of developmental domains-social and emotional, cognitive, expressive language, gross-motor skills, fine-motor skills, and self-help. Designed for easy use, the text is organized by three-month intervals (for example, for babies 0-3 months, 3-6 months, and so on) and by activities that reflect daily family life. The activities are grouped by:
*
Home routines
*
Indoor activities
*
Excursions
*
Social development
*
Health and safety The Hawaii Developmental Charts that come with this book provide a handy way to track a child's development in more than 600 skills.
Book Description
Rigorous methodological techniques have been developed in the last decade to improve the reliability and accuracy of self reports from research volunteers and patients about their pain, mood, substance abuse history, or dietary habits. This book presents cutting-edge research on optimal methods for obtaining self-reported information for use in the evaluation of scientific hypothesis, in therapeutic interventions, and in the development of prognostic indicators.
ALTERNATE BLURB:
Self-reports constitute critically important data for research and practice in many fields. As the chapters in this volume document, psychological and social processes influence the storage and recall of self-report information. There are conditions under which self-reports should be readily accepted by the clinician or researcher, and other conditions where healthy scepticism is required. The chapters demonstrate methods for improving the accuracy of self-reports, ranging from fine-tuning interviews and questionnaires to employing emerging technologies to collect data in ways that minimize bias and encourage accurate reporting.
Representing a diverse group of disciplines including sociology, law, psychology, and medicine, the distinguished authors offer crucial food for thought to all those whose work depends on the accurate self-reports of others.

Book Description
This book is a personal account of the evolution of millimeter-wave astronomy at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. It begins with the construction of the hugely successful, but flawed, 36 ft radio telescope on Kitt Peak, Arizona, and continues through the funding of its ultimate successor, the Atacama Large Millimeter-wave Array (ALMA), being constructed on a 5.000 m (16.500 ft) site in northern Chile. The book describes the behind-the-scenes activities of the NRAO Tucson staff. These include the identification and solution of technical problems, the scheduling and support of visiting astronomers, and the preparations and the politics of the proposal to replace the 36 ft telescope with a 25 m telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The book also describes the installation of a new 12 m surface and the involvement of the Tucson staff in the ALMA project. Finally, it recounts events leading to the closing of the 36 ft telescope and, eventually, of the NRAO offices in Tucson.
