Psychologist Karel de Laat has provided advice to owners and managers of large businesses and to their many employees. In his work, he collected numerous anecdotes and used them to motivate and guide his clients. Karel believes that everyone has a unique role to play in the world, focusing on those with whom we live, work and relax. We can all experience life to the full, even though we do not get the same publicity as the people we may see presented to us in the media every day. The key to realizing our personal success is taking control of our lives, not living in the shadow of public opinion. Karel's anecdotes show in a practical way how each of us can achieve the personal success we want, or make the dramatic step to realizing we already have it right in front of us, but just have not been able to see or grasp it yet.

Business Tips was a newspaper feature column for many years and this collection of some of the articles contains many of examples of how apparently simple things can make the difference between success and failure in business. Organizational psychologist Karel de Laat has provided advice to owners, managers and team members of large businesses for four decades. In his work, he collected numerous examples of good and bad business practices and used them to motivate and guide his clients in the board room and in the heart of operations. Karel believes that everyone can attain business success. They just have to know the right strategies. Karel's case studies show in a practical way how each of us can achieve business success by developing a business philosophy and follow some very basic principles of management and customer service.

Say It Do It is the result of the need for Karel de Laat to be more innovative and broaden the base of his work with people seeking assistance in their overall approach to life's challenges. Initially, Karel's work was vocationally based, but often the desire to succeed at work was hampered by personal factors. Over time, Karel's work in training, coaching and mentoring in both personal and business success focused more on overall self development as a key part of goal achievement. Based on his very early study of semantics, the ideal self and later studies in behavior therapy, Karel started to include more self development material as part of his general training. Progressively, the vocational training frameworks he had created as part of his work with rapidly growing companies developed into a more general psychological framework (Psychoframe) method for self analysis of interpersonal style and the creation of ideal Psychoframes for the pursuit of vocational and personal goals.This new book explains the Psychoframe method and provides the reader with the necessary materials to use it to pursue personal, career and business goals. It also includes many case studies from Karel's various published works on personal success to illustrate the wide range of challenges for which the book was created. In addition, It illustrates the wider theoretical basis for Karel's books on Personal Success Strategies, Career Management Strategies, Goal Achievement Strategies and Practical Management Strategies, which provided Psychoframes designed by Karel to achieve particular vocational and personal goals. With this book, Karel allows you the reader to use the Psychoframe values shaping system to assess your values and shape new ones to achieve your goals. In addition, the Psychoframe values system can also be used to assess other peoples values. As Karel goes to great lengths to point out, however, the Psychoframe process is just a more formal way of managing your opinions about the behavior of yourself and others. These opinions remain the same personal thoughts that you have been using to manage your whole life with varying degrees of success. The Psychoframe process aims to allow you to improve this opinion management challenge. First, by revealing how and why you very often do not realize that any process is going on at all. Second, by showing you how to take greater control of your thinking processes. Third, by showing you that thoughts should lead to consistent actions but often do not. Finally, the crux of the book is revealed as challenging you to align what you say with what you do. Hence, Say It Do It.
