Practitioners Books

This is a great resource for school administrators and families. It's definitely the type of book you want to keep handy to use as a guide for children with ADHD. It's very practical, useful, and easy to understand.

I found this book as a New Entrepreneur Nurse Practitioner to be extremely informative, well written in a step by step approach and easy to read.

Conservatively, this book has helped me earn at least an extra $[...] in personal income and has probably helped my consulting and other services clients earn millions beyond what they would have earned otherwise.

I have 100% of my clients buy this book and Alan's "Value-Based Fees" and have them read both within the first 30 days of working with me. Without exception they complain about how much the books cost until they land their first deal where they deliver, often for the first time, what their clients really want/need and get paid as much as 4X their normal rates with new and old clients thanking them for delivering so much more value for the dollar. See the testamonials at [...] for inspiration.

Alan Weiss is the master, in my opinion, of delivering the win-win-win. The reader wins, the reader's business wins, and the reader's clients are the biggest winners.

If you can't make this book earn 100X it's cost in the next 90 days you probably shouldn't be in business.

This book is invaluable for trainners,HR practitioners and line managers who are being introduced to HPI (Human Performance Improvement) principles and practice.

This is a handy and practical book for corporate counsel. It analyzes employment law issues in thirteen countries by examining a typical corporate transaction -- from hiring (and firing) a workforce, dealing with possible union issues, restrictive covenants, wage and benefits issues, discrimination claims, and employment law issues on the horizon.

It's not an encyclopedia nor does it try to be one. It will answer your questions in a practical way.
