            Bender, P.U.(1991). Secrets of Power Presentations (4th Ed.). Toronto: The Achievement Group.

"Secrets of Power Presentations is not a quick fix.  It's a reference.  it does not need to be read from beginning to end, but a smart presenter will read it through.  use it as a reference manual.  Each chapter, part and subtitle is designed as a stand-alone module." (Bender, 2002)  There are five key topics each organized to be easily understood.  The Speech, Body Language, Equipment, Environment, Preparation.

            


Bender, P.U. and Torok.G. (2000). Secrets of power marketing: promote brand you. Toronto: Stoddart.

"Millions have been raised to believe 'if you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door'.  But this is a lie!  To thrive in business, you must be seen and heard.  People must talk about you, know where to find you and believe in the value of what you offer.  In Secrets of Power Marketing Peter Urs Bender and George Torok explain how this exposure comes from marketing -- in essence, belief in yourself and the ability to communicate it to other." (Bender, 2002)


            


Bender, P.U. and Tracz, R.A. (2001), Secrets of Face to Face Communication. Toronto: Hushion House.

"This book emphasises a systematic approach to interpersonal contact because authors Peter Urs Bender and Dr. Robert Tracz know from their other work -- presenting, leading, marketing -- that systematizing the approach to any activity will help individuals excel at it." (Bender, 2002)



Bender, P.U. (2002). Leadership from within : discover your own star. Toronto: The Achievement Group.

"Analyse the five steps of becoming a more effective leader.  Leadership from within.  Most people see leadership as the act of leading others...Peter Urs Bender says that leadership 'begins with leading ourselves'.  It starts with understanding our values and finding our vision and passion, then taking action and communicating effectively to create results." (Bender, 2002)



Bender, P. U. (2002). Gutfeeling - Instinct and spirituality@work. Toronto: The Achievement Group.

I had a gut feeling that this would be a wonderful book.  And I had a good feeling too after I scanned it front to back.  The title was a little play on words that Peter and his assistant George Hancocks used in creating the title.  It all came about because, as Peter describes it, " George and I were looking for a title for the book. We did not want to call it simply "Spirituality at Work." George suggested Gut Feelings. When I wrote it down I wrote it as one word - "Gutfeeling." George immediately recognized that the English word "Gut," which is another name for "intuition," is the same as the German word "Gut," which means "good". A combination of Good and Gut produces Good Feelings, and that's how it came about." (Bender, 2002) 

As with all Peter Urs Bender's books, you pick them up, let them fall open anywhere and fall in to get great advice and tips that will help you to succeed.  This little book is the A-Z guide to finding and using your instincts, your gut feeling your spirituality every day in every way to motivate self, to self lead, to discover your true values.  Mr. Bender proposes that there are three aspects to sprituality that we should consider:

"1. Energy; 2. Gutfeeling (intuition, instinct, the subconscious); 3. Creativity" (Bender, 2002)
