Up Your Impact helps you take action NOW to increase your impact and value in your work

What’s in Up Your Impact?

Strategies: My new 170-page e-book presents 52 strategies for adding exceptional value to your employer and your customers or clients, presented in a clear, concise and actionable writing style.

No armchair theories here: These strategies are eminently practical, and will help you to “move the needle” in your work. The book also contains numerous stories that will inform and inspire you to make a difference in your work!

Action steps: Each strategy is followed by one or two action steps, to help you to implement it immediately. No theoretical mumbo-jumbo here – just strategies and insights you can use – now – to improve your work!

Resources: A comprehensive list of books, websites and tools that you can use to further your learning on how to add value to your work.

Unique. Creative. Effective: This book contains strategies you won’t read anywhere else, written in a clear, actionable, easily-digestible style. Each strategy is only 1-3 pages, so you can learn something new and apply it in as little as 5 minutes.

Easy to implement: I know you’re overwhelmed by the wealth of voices online, preaching principles for success, leadership, personal branding, meditation and so much more. It’s like taking a stroll through a bazaar in the Middle East, with all of the vendors shouting incomprehensible words at you, hawking their wares. Many people get immobilized by all of this content – they don’t know where to start or whose voice to believe.

That’s why I designed Up Your Impact in a quick-read, actionable format – so you can pick one or two strategies and get work immediately with them.

“This book represents everything that I have come to expect from Chuck over the many years that I have followed his work – truly practical strategies backed up by genuine expertise and extensive research. At a time when added value is fast becoming the difference between sinking and swimming for individuals and companies, Chuck has assembled an impressive collection of unique ideas and strategies that can help you to not only survive but thrive in today’s business arena.”
