Synopsis

Personal and professional success in today's crowded, competitive economy is dependent on your discovery of the answer to the following questions:

"What is my best purpose to achieve conscious success?"
"How can I demonstrate high awareness for conscious success?"
"How can I positively differentiate myself from others?"

In his book, The Nine Dimensions of Conscious Success, David Nielson addresses the dilemma of how to define your purpose in life to achieve conscious success. Drawing upon his unique life experiences as a management consultant, executive coach and as an organizational developer at Coors Brewing Company, Nielson outlines a practical process model for you to achieve individual success. He uses real-life stories, humor, and a humble approach that has connected with audiences of all ages worldwide in his consulting practice and in the pages of this breakthrough book.

Nielson builds the foundation of his "Conscious Success Model" on three pillars: Purpose, Self-awareness, and Social Awareness. When combined and mastered, these essential starting blocks will bring you fulfillment on their own, but they can also be used to create your unique brand, style, and strong reputation. They also support the structure of six key "Differentiators" identified to create Nielson's nine-dimensional model for achieving success. The six key differentiators include:

• Authenticity
• Work Ethic and Personal Responsibility
• Listening for Results and Connections
• Articulation for Impact
• Humor
• Gratitude

Each differentiator is a powerful tool (when mastered) to strengthen your brand, your reputation, and to open doors to opportunities that allow you to fulfill your purpose...as consciously planned!

Nine Dimensions of Conscious Success is a must read for young executives, career professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone committed to a personal and professional development journey. A critical starting point on that journey is utilizing the interactive Conscious Success Assessment(R) - an added bonus for readers. This assessment allows you to increase your self-awareness before creating your own Conscious Success Action Plan.

If you are tired of the trial and error approach to your life, read this book and find yourself on the path to conscious success today!

About this title

Review:

"When David Nielson asked me to write the foreword to The 9 Dimensions of Conscious Success, I was pleased for several reasons. For one thing, success is important to everyone I know. There are a lot of books about achieving it, but to my knowledge none follow logical steps--particularly steps that begin with a sense of purpose and self-awareness.

Why is it important to begin with these two elements? Because until you know your real purpose in life and understand who you are as a unique individual, the success you pursue could end up being the flavor of the month. David follows with the third foundational element--social awareness. This is where you watch the environment around you so that you are aware of how people are affected by what you say and do. Remember, relationships are just as important--if not more important--than results.

Once you have the elements that form the foundation for success--a sense of purpose, a sense of self, and an awareness of how you affect people in the social systems around you--David introduces six differentiators that will help you transition from where you are to where you want to be. Three of these jump out at me.

• Listening. I've always liked the saying "If God wanted us to speak more than listen he would have given us two mouths." Listening is a skill most of us need to work on.
• I also love that David includes Humor as one of his six differentiators. To me, the most successful people take what they do seriously but themselves lightly. Humorless people are just not fun or interesting to be around.
• The other differentiator that really resonates with me is Gratitude. Research shows that when you are in a stressful situation, if you stop and think about what you are thankful for, the stress will subside. Stress and gratitude cannot exist together.

As you read this book, you'll also learn about the other three differentiators: Authenticity, Work Ethic and Personal Responsibility, and Articulation. David goes deep to describe all 9 dimensions, giving examples of how and why they are necessary in the big picture.

Thanks, David, for showing us that we are our best selves when we realize there is a better way than trial and error to plot our course in life and achieve our ultimate level of success."--Ken Blanchard
