Download or read book Remarkable Retail written by Steve Dennis and published by LifeTree Media. This book was released on 2021-04-13 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical retail isn’t dead—but boring retail is! Remarkable Retail equips the savvy retailer with eight essential strategies to thrive in an increasingly volatile and uncertain future. Digital technology has profoundly altered the competitive landscape for retailers. In Remarkable Retail, industry thought leader Steve Dennis argues that in a world of nearly infinite choice, where the lines between digital and physical are increasingly blurred, even being very good is no longer good enough. To win and keep customers today, retailers must be nothing short of remarkable. In most retail categories, digital channels are often central to the consumer’s journey, but that doesn’t mean people aren’t also shopping in stores; they’re just using them differently, often browsing in one channel and buying in the other. The notion of a physical store channel and an ecommerce channel is increasingly a distinction without a difference; the customer is the channel. The future belongs to those who embrace the blur of digital and physical that represents modern retail today and work to deliver an experience that is more harmonized and more memorable, regardless of how consumers decide to shop. Packed with illuminating case studies from some of modern retail’s biggest success stories—and leveraging Dennis’s more than thirty years as a senior executive and strategic consultant to dozens of brands—Remarkable Retail lays out the case for going beyond a slightly better version of mediocre and forging a path to being truly remarkable. To help retailers on this transformation journey, Dennis presents eight essential strategies for visionary leaders who are prepared to reimagine their way of doing business. A remarkable retailer is digitally enabled, human-centered, harmonized, mobile, personal, connected, memorable, and radical. In an age where consumers have short attention spans, myriad options, and a digitally integrated relationship with every brand, Remarkable Retail is your indispensable guide to creating a powerful retail experience that keeps your customers coming back for more.

Book excerpt: The employment market has changed. The way to find work has changed. Expect to DO a job, not HAVE a job.

Your success will be determined by whether or not you're remarkable. Randomly searching for what's available is no longer a realistic option. This is not a book focused on job search. It's transformational thinking to help you understand and apply the concepts of personal branding to become financially independent, be successful in your career, establish yourself as being remarkable, and do work that matters. In today's job market, you need to sell yourself as "talent", not just someone looking for work.

Download or read book From Able to Remarkable written by Robert Massey and published by Crown House Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In From Able to Remarkable: Help your students become expert learners, Robert Massey provides a pathway to help teachers guide their students through the gauntlets of the gifted, the underpasses of underachievement and the roadblocks to remarkable on their learning journeys. What makes remarkable students remarkable? Attributes such as resilience, curiosity and intelligence may come to mind and we might also add others, such as intuition and tenacity. But what has helped make them what they are? Were they born this way, or did their 'remarkabilities' emerge during their schooling? Such questions may make teachers feel uneasy, prompting them to reflect on the sometimes limiting scope of what is often labelled as 'gifted and talented provision' in their school. Robert Massey argues, however, that these remarkabilities are there, latent and dormant, in many more students than we might at first acknowledge. In From Able to Remarkable Robert shares a rich variety of practical, cross-curricular strategies designed to help teachers unearth and nurture these capabilities and signpost a route to the top for every learner. Informed by educational research and evidence from the field of cognitive science, the book talks teachers through a wide range of effective teaching and learning techniques all of which are appropriate for use with all pupils and not only with top sets or high attainers. Robert also shares ideas on how teachers can improve their students' abilities to receive, respond to and then deliver feedback on both their own work and that of others. To complement the feedback process, he presents practical methods to help teachers make questioning, self-review and greater student ownership of their questioning within lessons a staple of day-to-day classroom interaction. Venturing beyond the classroom, the book also explores approaches to whole-school provision for high-attaining students and offers some robust stretch and challenge to educational leaders in considering what widespread excellence in education might look like. Suitable for teachers and gifted and talented coordinators in both primary and secondary schools.

Download or read book So Good They Can t Ignore You written by Cal Newport and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

Download or read book The Future of Charity Marketing written by Sarah-Louise Mitchell and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-07 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charities play an increasingly important role in our society. Whether caring for the vulnerable, campaigning for change or enabling access to the arts, they are organisations on a mission, underpinned by social purpose. However, charities now face unique challenges in a turbulent global economic climate due to structural changes in society post Covid and pressure on disposable incomes. Charities need to transform and, in some cases, modernise for sustained increasing demand from their service users. They need to engage with a wider range of stakeholders, meet higher public expectations on transparency and governance and compete for resources from existing as well as a continuous range of new competitors. This book brings together leading scholars to think about what is needed to future proof the nonprofit sector in areas such as partnerships, collaborations, branding, communications, income generation and fundraising, stakeholder involvement and meeting the future needs of service users. This edited collection builds upon the research in the editors' first book Charity Marketing: Contemporary Issues, Research and Practice to challenge students, researchers and practitioners in understanding the challenges and opportunities ahead and think about how to future proof nonprofit marketing. Drawing from a diverse group of academics and deep-thinking practitioners, The Future of Charity Marketing focuses on how charities can prepare for the future through sharing big ideas and examples of best practice. Presenting contrasting perspectives and the latest thinking on a range of challenges, this book gives topics for classroom debate, identifies areas for future research and offers practitioners useful insights.

Download or read book The Climate Crisis written by Adam Aron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-31 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, despite all we know about the causes and harms of global heating, has so little effective action been taken to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and what we can do to change that? This book explains the mechanisms and impacts of the climate crisis, traces the history and reasons behind the lack of serious effort to combat it, describes some people's ongoing scepticism and how to shift it, and motivates an urgent program of action. It argues that the pathway to stopping dangerous global heating will require a much larger mobilization of advocacy and activism to impel decision makers to abandon fossil fuels, and transition to renewable energy and electrification embedded in a political and social framework guided by justice principles. It is an excellent resource for students and researchers on the climate crisis, the need for a renewable energy transition, and the current blocks to progress.
