People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts

A wall of silent resentment shuts you off from someone you love....You listen to an argument in which neither party seems to hear the other....Your mind drifts to other matters when people talk to you....

People Skills is a communication-skills handbook that can help you eliminate these and other communication problems. Author Robert Bolton describes the twelve most common communication barriers, showing how these "roadblocks" damage relationships by increasing defensiveness, aggressiveness, or dependency. He explains how to acquire the ability to listen, assert yourself, resolve conflicts, and work out problems with others.

Kernell Lessons: Intermediate

Kernell Lessons: Intermediate is an intensive revision, reinforcement and extension course designed for adult students of English. The course carefully reintroduces the basic esssentials of the language and then uses these as the basis for entirely new work on more advanced structures. The course will be also found suited to adults who have learned English at some stage of their lives but who have forgotten most of what they learnt. Previously, little special material was available for these "false beginners".

Rapid—and seemingly accelerating—changes in the economies of developed nations are having a proportional effect on the skill sets required of workers in many new jobs. Work environments are often technology-heavy, while problems are frequently ill-defined and tackled by multidisciplinary teams. This book contains insights based on research  conducted as part of a major international project supported by Cisco, Intel and Microsoft. It faces these new working environments head-on, delineating new ways of thinking about ‘21st-century’ skills and including operational definitions of those skills.
