Crash Course in Creativity £12.99+p&p - Crash Course in Creativity is an easy way to improve your creativity. But it is far from a dry traditional course,  as the authors say: ‘be prepared to learn, but also be prepared to have fun’. Creativity is a business skill – or rather a life skill – that cannot be simply learned. The only way to enhance your creativity is through practice. This puts activity-based learning at the core of the course. Creativity is also hugely important to both individuals and organizations – yet at the same time it's hard to put aside large chunks of time to work on personal development. For this reason, Crash Course in Creativity  is oriented to getting up to speed as quickly of possible . After exploring the key skills that will help you to nurture creativity, the course itself consists of a programme of 150 exercises and techniques to help you to develop your creativity either alone or as part of a group.  Note includes many of the techniques from Instant Creativity, Instant Teamwork and Instant Brainpower.

Books in Arabic  
Mining the Internet - Arabic translation - £8.99+p&p - The Internet, and particularly the World Wide Web, is a vast, confusing mix of incredibly useful information and garbage. The good news about using the Internet for research is that almost anything you want to know is probably out there somewhere. The bad news is that it is like searching for a particular item on a noticeboard, which is planted with millions of other noticeboards in a field the size of Turkey. This book takes the pain out of using the Internet as an information source, whether you need to know what's on at your local cinema, to find a telephone number of a company on the other side of the world, or to produce in-depth research material for your academic studies. It provides simple, practical ways to improve your ability to find the right information, with specific application-focussed sections to chase up specific requirements. Shipped to (p&p):

Crash Course in Managing People - Czech translation - £11.99+p&p - The Crash Course in Managing People is an easy way to improve your management skills fast. But it is far from a dry traditional course,  as the authors say: ‘be prepared to learn, but also be prepared to have fun’. When you begin to look at the nature of management a number of things become obvious. First is the importance of communication – two-way flows of information are at the heart of management – and second is the need to distinguish between two very different management styles. These two styles are usually referred to as leadership and management. Although this course is titled Crash Course in Managing People, in fact it concentrates on leadership. Alongside pure leadership, you will see themes developing around motivation, coaching and interviewing. Other parts of the course concentrate on developing you as an individual. After exploring the key elements that make for effective management, the course itself consists of a programme of 150 exercises and techniques to help you to develop your managerial skills. As with the companion books Crash Course in Creativity and Crash Course in Personal Development, targeted reading ensures that the practical exercises are backed up with expert knowledge. Contains exercises from Instant Leadership, Instant Motivation and Instant Interviewing and Instant Coaching, arranged into a structured course with a reading programme to back up the material, plus online links to expand your knowledge.

Capturing Customers' Hearts - Chinese TRADITIONAL translation - £14.64+p&p We all realize how important customers are. We all know what will help build a good relationship with our customers. Yet so often it is done badly. Unlike great products and low prices, great customer service is hard to copy. In a fiercely competitive world, differentiation is the name of the game. Capturing Customers' Hearts analyzes companies where the product or the company itself generate a special reaction in the customer, something much more than brand loyalty - true affection. Building 12 components of charisma on the foundation of service delivery, it uses examples of best and worst practice to pinpoint the forces that will win new customers, keep them and capture their hearts.
