Practical Manual. Learn in six weeks the magic of the 3 essential soft skills for managers, executives, and entrepreneurs: time management, networking, and persuasion.
Rarely addressed in schools and professional training programs, "behavioral qualities," sometimes called "soft skills," are essential abilities contrasted with "technical skills" or "hard skills." "Managing Time, Networking, Persuading" is designed as a manual. We go straight to the point without lengthy and boring theoretical explanations. All topics will be covered through concrete examples.
This manual will also include numerous exercises to begin mastering the presented tools.

This book aims to be a guide that combines the necessary theory with the pragmatism of tools. It will immerse you in the twists and turns of the mind and accompany you on the discovery of a series of psychological profiles, insidious mechanisms, teach you to identify them, and equip you with defenses to combat them.
The first part will lead you to a better understanding of the subject studied here, manipulation. We will paint the psychological profile of manipulators, their motivations, and objectives.
We will dwell on the tools and means they deploy, the twisted use of body language, the elements of languages and rhetoric that support a manipulative stance.
In the second part, after having clearly identified the threat and its means of expression, we will conduct a methodical review of a set of blocking techniques that will effectively protect you against the assailant.
