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.

Atlantic Crossing Journal: Day 1

With web guru Chad Barr’s help, I’m going to attempt to record our Atlantic Crossing in print, by photo, and with video. And I’m going to attempt to do that using a minimum of my time, but also trying to provide a real flavor of the experience. So, photos and video should be accompanying this.

We are at the Ritz-Carlton Battery Park,which sits almost alongside the Statue of Liberty. We’ll spend the evening here, then a car will pick us up for the trip to the Brooklyn Piers for embarkation on the Queen Mary 2 tomorrow.
