Dallas Professional Development Coach Ashley Forbes Kellogg shares responses to last month's book question. Last month we asked, what book(s) have made a difference in your professional life? Here are some of our responses: Linda Wilkins wrote: The Acquisition Mating Dance - and Other Essays on Negotiating by James C. Freund.

Dallas Business Professional Coach lists five ways to win people over  April 02, 2011
Dallas Business Professional Coach Ashley Forbes Kellogg lists five ways to win people over. 1. Tell someone (nicely) what she has to lose: "Although most folks say they want to hear what they have to gain by taking your advice, they're actually more influenced by what they have to lose by not heeding it. For example, you'll get further with your boss if you emphasize the revenue you'll miss out on by NOT pursuing the project, rather than citing any potential benefits. That's why the phrase "Don't miss it!" is more effective in ads than "Take this opportunity." -Noah Goldstein, PH.D 2.

Dallas Business Development Consultant Ashley Forbes Kellogg delivers March 2011 note to readers. A Note from Ashley "One cannot divine nor forecast the conditions that will make happiness; one only stumbles upon them by chance, in a lucky hour, at the world's end somewhere, and holds fast to the day, as to fortune or fame." -Willa Cather "Most of us are just plain lucky or certainly better off than we deserve to be. Considering that we go through our days doing everything in our power to think up a life that will make us happy in the future, "We treat our future selves as though they were our children, spending most of the hours of most of our days constructing tomorrows that we hope will make us happy." -Malcolm Gla  [more info...]
