Meaningful conversations (2nd book)

This book has been written about some very passionate subjects in business today: Communications, Strategy and Business Development and Growth.

In February 2014 I set out as an author to write a weekly blog across a variety of subjects and foremost about people in business, opinions, research and tips, advise on some revelations, past and present.

This book demonstrates the relationship between communications (human 2 human), strategy and business development and growth. It is important to understand that a number of the ideas, developments and techniques employed at the beginning as well as the top of business can be successfully made flexible to apply.

Communications, Strategy and Business Development and Growth are essential for success and profitability in the business process.

This book provides a holistic overview of the essential leading methods of techniques. It will provide you with a hands on guide for business professionals and those in higher education.

Readers will gain insights into topical subjects, components of Communications, Strategy and Business Development and Growth, including a wide range of tips, models and techniques that will help to build strong and effective solutions in today’s business world.

The terms ‘Communications’, Strategy’ and Business Development and Growth’ have become overused during the last decade and have become devalued as a result. In this book I aim to simplify these terms and to re-value management and leadership by addressing topics and subjects in each distinctive chapter.

As Anthony Robbins once said:

“The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives.”

The book therefore covers all the essential components of Communications, Strategy and Business Development and Growth, but ensures that they are described in an engaging, enjoyable way with clarity.

The book is divided into three key areas to make it easy to find the material you need. Each component is easy to locate by the titles of the short story at the top of the pages. Each chapter within the three components relates strongly to each other but is also interrelated to all the other chapters. Those with interest on certain topics may wish to start at their area of interest first, while those who prefer to read the book from the first page to the end will proceed as they started, there really is a topic for everyone in the book.

Business professionals and individuals in the great challenges of today’s business world have renewed responsibility for what business does best; innovate, invest and grow. Many people wait until circumstances force change and transformation, that can be radical and painful, this book will arm you with the tips, advise and techniques to provide fresh thinking to your everyday environment and to innovate your circumstances for a better environment, we are all extraordinary people and have the ability to share and provide wealth creation and richness to our surroundings, the question is how much do we want to be extraordinary.

This book has been written not just for people in a company or organisation, it is about helping and supporting understanding across a wide variety of subjects to anyone in life; students, budding entrepreneurs, business people and aspiring individuals.

Not only a Meaningful Conversation, but a very intriguing read!

I was really attracted to the name ‘Meaningful Conversations’ this book is very comprehensive, well written and articulates many subjects that effect today’s new world.

It is really hard to distinguish which section of the book was my favorite chapter or verse as the three sections really charged and challenged my thinking, but possibly communications; building a life of happiness and success, the two dimensional world and finally the value of three dimensional communication will definitely resonate with me for some time to come.

I enjoyed the book immensely because it touched so many subjects in today’s world that we do not necessarily address, with in depth knowledge and supported by measured research, I am sure I will find myself returning to the book for a second read.

Whether by chance or cleaver distinction the author has captured the essences of the majority of the changing world we live in, an incredibly interesting read, even for the most modest of readers.

Recommended reading for new (and not so new) business leaders!

Every budding entrepreneur should pick up a copy of Geoff Hudson-Searle’s new book.

It is packed full of useful advice, insights and clear observations about how business is conducted using 21st century technology. Nonetheless, we are reminded that sometimes old fashioned methods such as meeting in person and picking up the phone are still just as powerful.

It’s clear that a great deal of hard work and research has gone into this book, which covers such a wide range of matters, including leadership vs. management, managing finances, social media and managing personal stress, whilst finding time to discuss business theory within the context of vineyards and conservation. Highly recommended!

Well researched and cleverly formulated …

Read it cover to cover and it all fits together . Return to those specific points and you will get structure for your business decisions .

Take its advice and you will become a better leader , a better business ready for investment and a well controlled entity with good cash management and organisation.Geoff simplifies the process for you by listing the requirements , questions and indicators .

These conversations cleverly address the present and the digital future where business models must be dynamic to survive and thrive.

I really enjoyed the discussions on leadership and management …very thought provoking ..we should not only triangulate but we should critique ourselves and change accordingly .

My mantra is “little is more”. Geoff concludes in the slow mode with a good work / life balance and a pragmatic set of requirements for a successful and rewarding business.

IT IS a meaningful converation

The title itself defines the book very well – The content is MEANINGFUL and the style of writing makes you feel that it is as simple as having a CONVERSATION.

The thoughts are not forced on you they are more like a logical discussion. A very useful read for the top leadership of any organisation. Will add another dimension to the thought process and strategy. I really enjoyed it.

An incredible must read

I read Geoff’s first book ‘Freedom After the Sharks’ three times. It’s an excellent read about his life.

Geoff’s new book ‘Meaningful Conversations’ is a mastery on various subject matters benefiting everyone who loves to read to learn. Geoff’s impeccable authorship is prevalent throughout each chapter of his new book.

Blessed with a brilliant business mind, Geoff explicitly articulates the importance of human to human interaction in our ever evolving technological world.

I will re-read ‘Meaningful Conversations,’ and highly recommended everyone read this incredible book.
