Books:

This is a compendium for beginner or veteran covering what to consider, possess, or create for a successful practice, with specific examples and templates to incorporate.

"Breaking Through Writer's Block: Every Business Letter and Template You'll Ever Need for A Thriving Professional Services Practice."

Alan's most definitive work on a subject he's become passionate about: blending life, work, and relationships into a holistic, fulfilling existence.

Alan's only book written expressly for internal change agents, human resource professionals, trainers, and others who want to become more effective in internal change initiatives.

This sixth book in "The Ultimate Consultant Series" provides the wisdom Alan has gleaned from his own practice--and from other veteran consultants--to help overcome both persistent problems and the challenges of reaching the next level of success.

This is the first and most likely the only book that Alan Weiss will ever write on the methodology and techniques of consulting. This fifth book in "The Ultimate Consultant Series" is crammed with the detailed approaches Alan uses in all major aspects of consulting.

The fourth book in "The Ultimate Consultant Series" from Jossey-Bass/Pfeiffer focuses on the acquisition of new business, of more concern for consultants today than ever before.

This is the third book in the seven-book "The Ultimate Consultant Series." It contains everything Alan knows about value-based fees, a concept he pioneered over a decade ago.

APA Division 13

Members of SAC and the Mentor Roster and Blog visitors may be interested to know that APA Div 13, the Society of Consulting Psychology, has just extended the early-bird rate for the mid-winter conference to this Friday, 11 Jan 2008 at midnight EST. This is the conference where Alan Weiss was a keynote speaker on two occasions..

This year’s conference will take place from 8-10 February 2008 in Austin, Texas and the Theme is, “Leading Edge Consulting: New Ideas, Approaches, and Markets.” The Consulting Psychology Mid-Winter Conference is one of the best professional education events I attend every year. Most of all, the sessions provide practical tools and skills that can be implemented immediately.

Please inform the membership about this wonderful opportunity for anyone involved in organizational consulting. I am a member of the Consulting Psychology Board as Chair of the Media Relations Committee. I will also be speaking at the conference on a panel about “Gender Power, Dyads, and Triads.”

For more information about the conference please go to www.div13.org the Consulting Psychology web site. To sign-up, please contact Lorraine Reiff and Associates at 312-655-1150 or div13@lrieff.com. Their office is in Chicago.
