Pat Hutchinson, David Molden, "Brilliant NLP: What the Most Successful People Know, Say and Do" English | 2006 | ISBN: 0273707892 | 113 pages | EPUB | 2.6 MB Have you ever wondered how it is that two people faced with the same set of circumstances can produce opposite results?

There are people who just seem to have life sorted out the way they want it, and others who are just surviving, struggling each day with frequent problems and difficulties. We may refer to the more successful people as lucky but is it really luck? Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) shows it's not it's all down to the way we think. The discoveries of two Americans back in the mid-70s, who analysed what it was that made people consistently perform well, have inspired many thousands of people around the world to acquire the skills and attitudes of NLP - and improve their lives as a result. Now Brilliant NLP makes mastering the techniques of NLP easy helping you step by step to see things differently, master your thinking and become more efficient, more effective and more successful, in everything you do.

Using blockchain technology, firms can undergo new applications and processes by pursuing transparency and control, low bureaucracy, trustless relationships, high standards of responsibility, and sustainability. As a result, business and organizations can successfully implement blockchain to grant transparency to consumers and end-users; remove challenges linked to pollution, frauds, human rights, abuse, and other inefficiencies; as well as guaranteed traceability of goods and services by univocally identifying the provenance inputs' quantity and quality along with their treatment and origin. Blockchain Technology Applications in Businesses and Organizations reveals the true advantages that blockchain entails for firms by creating transparent and digital transactions, resolves conflicts and exceptions, and provides incentive-based mechanisms and smart contracts. This book seeks to create a clear understanding of blockchain's applications such that business leaders can see and evaluate its real advantages.
