Harnessing The Power Of Tension (Audio CD)
$29.99
The word tension comes from the Latin word tendere, which means “to stretch.” It’s not a bad thing to be stretched in our careers, our parenting, our ministries, or our leadership. Without tension, we become stagnant and stop growing. In fact, we might even say that tension is both inevitable and, in many cases, desirable in life and leadership.
In Harnessing the Power of Tension: Stretched but Not Broken, international leadership consultant Sam Chand examines tension as it arises in and between the arenas of business, church, and family. The presence of tension isn’t a flaw in you or a threat from others. It’s not a problem to solve, but a strain to be used. When you develop this perspective and you encounter tension, you’ll be less confused and feel less guilty because you understand that tension isn’t the result of your error or flaw. You’ll experience less pressure to figure everything out and less compulsion to resolve it quickly and completely.
When we accept tension as a reality of life, we gain confidence and mental clarity when we encounter it. Our focus isn’t on getting rid of tension, but using it to create something better than before. We don’t walk on eggshells, afraid to say the wrong thing. We learn when to speak up, when to ask questions, when to listen, and when to let things go. As we relax in the middle of tension, we see people and situations more clearly, and we invite our families and teams into the process of creatively using tension in life and leadership.

Secuencia Hacia El Exito – (Spanish)
$14.99Todos llegamos a algun lugar en la vida debido a tres cosas: alguien nos observa, forma una opinion sobre nosotros y decide darnos una oportunidad… o no. Nosotros hacemos lo mismo con los demas. Las personas han jugado este papel esencial en nuestras vidas, y nosotros lo jugamos en la vida de quienes nos rodean, y no importa cuanta habilidad tengamos, podemos jugar aun mejor.
La secuencia se aplica en los negocios, la iglesia, los matrimonios, la paternidad y las amistades. A menudo evaluamos a otros en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Percibimos instintivamente la expresion de la cara de alguien, el tono de voz o el lenguaje corporal que es consistente o diferente de sus palabras. Reaccionamos a nuestra observacion, pero rara vez nos detenemos a analizar antes de responder; simplemente sucede inmediatamente. Observamos y tenemos una opinion, y en base a lo que hemos determinado en ese segundo, le damos a la persona una oportunidad de relacionarse con nosotros, o cerramos la puerta y permanecemos vigilantes.
Secuencia del exito es un libro de liderazgo, pero no se limita a las empresas, presidentes, directores generales o pastores principales. Es para todos los que tienen una posicion de influencia en la vida de otra persona, y eso nos incluye a todos. En este libro, Sam Chand saca a la luz nuestras suposiciones subconscientes. Con mas perspicacia y confianza, tomaras mejores decisiones para avanzar a las personas que te rodean… o tal vez mostrarles la puerta. Estos principios tambien te ayudan a ser mas consciente de que las personas te estan observando y formando opiniones sobre ti, abriendo o cerrando puertas de oportunidad.
Every one of us gets anywhere in life due to three things: someone observes us, forms an opinion about us, and decides to give us an opportunity…or not. Likewise, we do the same with others. People have played this essential role in our lives, and we play it in the lives of those around us–and no matter how skilled we’ve become, we can play it even better.
This sequence applies in business, church, marriages, parenting, and friendships. We often assess others in the blink of an eye. We instinctively notice the look on someone’s face, their tone of voice, or their body language as consistent or different from the words being spoken. We react to our observation, but we seldom stop to analyze before we respond–it just happens. Immediately, we observe and form an opinion, and based on what we’ve determined in that split s
