Review

"Jim gives you specific, sane skills that can be immediately applied to help you succeed. This is a must read for anyone that wants to move to the next level."--Marsha Petrie Sue, author of Toxic People: Decontaminate Difficult People at Work without using Weapons or Duct Tape

"Reading Dynamic Components of Personal Power is like hanging out with a wise friend who has seen a lot in life. Jim shares his hard-earned wisdom, not as someone who thinks they've arrived, but as a fellow traveler who has experienced--and learned--a lot in life. If you appreciate REAL people, a good sense of humor, and straight up, common sense 'how-to' information, you'll appreciate Jim Bouchard's book."--David Lee, Human Nature at Work

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal authority, charisma, leadership, and influence are not qualities that are innate at birth, March 4, 2008

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dynamic Components of Personal Power (Paperback)

Personal authority, charisma, leadership, and influence are not qualities that are innate at birth, rather they are learned skills and abilities based on principles and concepts going back thousands of years in recorded human history. In "Dynamic Components Of Personal Power: Success -- The Black Belt Way", martial artist Jim Bouchard has produced an instructional manual based upon ancient martial arts teachings that he has adapted and adopted for modern personal and professional success through creating, enhancing, and maintaining personal power within any social, business, or professional relationship. As a founder of northern Chi Martial Arts and a member of the U.S. Martial Arts Hall of Fame, Brouchard writes with a special expertise as he applies a Kung Fu-oriented philosophy and practice to harnessing its techniques to the development of personal talent and ability by applying the motivational and transformational power of the dojo to the demands of ordinary life. Of special note are the 'Power Drills', exercises specifically designed to strengthen goal commitments. Superbly organized and presented, "Dynamic Components Of Personal Power" is very highly recommended reading and would make a popular addition to any community library Self-Help/Self-Improvement reference collection.

By 

Dr. Jackie Black (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dynamic Components of Personal Power (Paperback)

Dynamic Components of Personal Power is a practical, no-nonsense book that makes the essential interpersonal work of accessing, understanding and harnessing our own inner power possible. This is not just one more theoretical, self-help book. Jim Bouchard provides the step-by-step guide to working with our personal power so we can create lives that are rich and meaningful; and deeply satisfying and joyful. Jim reminds us all soundly that life is an inside job and leads the way with courage, deep respect and a voice that beckons us each and every step along the way. This is a must read and a great gift for men and women alike!
