Personal Networking? 

This book deals with  is the idea of personal networking, and importantly how to use your connections to optimise your personal capital. Importantly, this is not about learning to put on a false front, cheesy grin or flash tie, that isn’t networking that is false and duplicitous. Effective personal networking is about being yourself and using the essence of who you are and your personal capital to build long-term successful and sustainable relationships with other people.

Know Your Value
The age-old company slogan that "our people are our greatest" asset is true whether business realizes it or not. Know Your Value sets out to provide a framework for calculating just how much of an asset you really are to your company--how much is that experience and knowledge worth? In the same way that you make choices about the clothes you buy, the food you eat, or the car you buy, you must now make choices about the way to manage your personal capital." The book explores the value of knowledge--and the relative value of sharing, retaining and exploiting that knowledge. 

Lead Yourself

In a fast changing world, where jobs for life no longer exist, your personal security has to come from within. It's time to take back control and manage your life as you would manage a project - time to lead yourself before leading others. As the corporate safety net disappears, so does the guarantee of emotional and financial security from your job title. You can't rely on your company, any more, to tell you who you are or where you're going. Building a leadership style based on personal capital, personal effectiveness and personal network is becoming of critical importance, as is the ability to guide your own career. 

Leading the Organisation to Learn

This book is aimed primarily at those people who are interested in the idea of organisational learning and knowledge management, but have been unable to find any tangible models that will help them to investigate the phenomena in their own organisation. The core benefits will be to ofer a bridge that links the ideas of personal development and individual learning with the corporate  perspective of organisational learning and offer a simple diagnostic framework that can be applied across all levels and divisions within a business.

Float-You 

This is a practical guide which will help people map, measure, manage and market their personal capital. The Float-You concept is based upon a simple idea. First and foremost it is a belief that we all have latent and untapped potential that has yet to be realised and valued in the market. The Float-You framework draws upon the idea that a company will float itself on the open market to convert its inner value into tangible wealth, people and teams can do the same thing. They can take their inner unrealized value and take it to market and optimize the value of the capital.
