Book Description
William Ayot's poetry, prose and performances have helped leaders around the world to pause, reflect and occasionally re-think; to re-engage with their imaginations and refresh themselves on the journey of leadership. This slim volume represents his work in the field and reminds us that timeless challenges can still find contemporary champions, and that old virtues can find new venues, even in the jargon-polluted corporate world. This book wasn't written for poets. It was written for people who are often estranged from poetry, who might not trust it, who may have been baffled, or irritated, or even turned off by it. It was also written for those who spend the better part of their time guiding others through the labyrinth of working life, the men and women who at different levels, lead the organisations that shape so much of our modern lives. "Occasionally a book comes along that changes the way we see the world and ourselves. For many of today's leaders I believe 'E-Mail from the Soul' will be such a book. It shines a spotlight of humanity into the heart of organisational life, and on the often unspoken, deeply felt, and kaleidoscopic path that leaders follow. A much needed gift to those who carry so much responsibility for all our futures." - Andrew White, Associate Dean, Said Business School, University of Oxford "I have witnessed first-hand the profound impact of William Ayot's poems on leaders seeking to take themselves to the next level. Through them, executives come to understand that they manage in prose, but lead in poetry. The poems in 'E-Mail from the Soul' speak - directly and intimately - to core challenges of leadership in times of profound transition. - Michael Watkins, Author "The First 90 Days" William Ayot's poems don't offer much comfort. They are tools for survival in an uncertain corporate world - a way to preserve in yourself and to recognise in others, the roots of human feeling, passion, power and decency. - Philip Gross, Poet and Author, winner T.S.Eliot Prize

Book Description
"Voices of Leadership: Poems Inspired By US Presidents" From the foundational whispers of Washington to the resounding declarations of modern leaders, this collection breathes new life into the words of America's presidents. For centuries, the voices of our nation's leaders have guided, inspired, and shaped the course of history. Like beacons of light, their quotes offer wisdom and insight that transcend their time. Yet, sometimes, these historical gems can feel distant and untouchable. This book endeavors to capture the vibrancy and warmth of these timeless quotes by transforming them into the expressive language of poetry. Each poem acts as a brushstroke, delicately illuminating the essence of the original quote. It's not about replacing their words but revealing their hidden depths and emotions. Imagine Abraham Lincoln's powerful reflections transformed into poignant verses of unity or John F. Kennedy's stirring call to purpose blossoming into a narrative of inspiration. This book invites you to experience these quotes anew, not just with your intellect but with your heart. While I may not claim the title of a poet, I hope these humble creations spark a connection with the wisdom and strength embedded within our presidential legacy. Whether you're a seasoned reader of poetry or someone who appreciates the power of words, I invite you to delve into this collection and let the verses sing their unique song. From the quiet resolve found in early leadership to the bold visions of the modern era, these poems celebrate the resilience, courage, and determination that define the American spirit. May they inspire you to embrace your path with renewed determination and hope.

Book Description
In Leadership Above the Rim, Orlando Ceaser takes his years of leadership experience and communicates it clearly. This book will inspire, educate and challenge all who read it. -Mike Patterson President, On Track Leadership Leadership Above the Rim is a must-read for any and everyone interested in career development. The busy manager or executive will find the poetry insightful and rich in content. When I emailed a few of the poems through my network, several members and sponsor companies commented on how much they learned and how applicable the poems were to their development. One Fortune 500 company HR Director forwarded the poems to several managers in her company as suggested readings. I know you are going to enjoy the poetry contained in this book as much as I did. -John J. Erby President, National Sales Network, Inc. Chicago Chapter NSN National Board of Directors Leadership seminars today are most successful when the realities of corporate competition are sensitively addressed. Orlando does this with his insightful poem, Eagles in Cages. Leaders in corporations reside at all levels of the corporate structure. There are those who have realized their career goals, and those resigned to reside where their career paths ended. Orlando s poetry gives life to a reality which can be changed by leaders who are willing to boldly self-assess their level of resignation or motivation at each stage of their career. -Kimberly A. Farrell President, Unlimited Performance Training, Inc. The analogies intertwined with life experiences shared by Orlando let you know he is not just writing about them, but he has lived them. The poems are both inspirational and motivational and the messages relate to persons of various ages. It made me relive the positive things of my youth. -Allyn Curry Associate Director, Business Development Kelley School of Business I like the text and would recommend [this book] to others. Orlando s brief and concise statements can greatly help to keep their daily focus above the rim as they look to be a step above! -Lester J. Blair CEO, Blair Capital Management Corp.

Book Description
What does poetry bring to business? According to Clare Morgan and her coauthors, it brings a complexity and flexibility of thinking, along with the ability to empathize and better understand the thoughts and feelings of others. Through her own experiences and many examples, Morgan demonstrates that the skills necessary to talk and think about poetry can be of significant benefit to leaders and strategists, to executives who are facing infinite complexity and who are armed with finite resources in a changing world. What Poetry Brings to Business presents ways in which reading and thinking about poetry offer businesspeople new strategies for reflection on their companies, their daily tasks, and their work environments. The goal is both to increase readers' knowledge of poems and how they convey meaning, and also to teach analytical and cognitive skills that will be beneficial in a business context. The unique combinations and connections made in this book will open new avenues of thinking about poetry and business alike

Book Description
The first-ever collection of writings by Christian D. Larson, author of the famous “Optimist Creed” and one of the twentieth-century’s pioneers of motivational thought. Contemporary research has shown that optimistic people experience longer and healthier lives, better relationships, and higher incomes. Generations before such findings, however, inspirational writer Christian D. Larson showed an amazing grasp of the life-changing power of gratitude and optimism. Today, Larson is known worldwide for his powerful meditation, “The Optimist Creed,” and other classics of spiritual living. But no single volume has collected his greatest writings. Here, at last, is a long-overdue anthology that makes Larson’s foundational writings available to the countless readers who already know his name and work. Like no one else of his day, Larson understood the metaphysical and psychological dimensions of grateful living – or, as he famously put it, “an attitude of gratitude.” Affirmative thought, Larson reasoned, sets in motion unseen forces, both spiritual and psychical, and aids in manifesting our desires. The Optimist Creed features complete editions of Larson’s most deeply affecting works, each redesigned and reset. It contains: The Pathway of Roses; Your Forces and How to Use Them (the work that features his original “Optimist Creed”); Mastery of Self; The Ideal Made Real; and Just Be Glad.

The contributors represent a wide range of professions including Vanguard Group founder John Bogle, MoveOn.org cofounder Joan Blades, several members of Congress, Christian activist Brian McLaren, business guru Peter Senge, and many other leaders from business, medicine, education, nonprofits, law, politics and government, and religion. In their reflections, these leaders explore how they have been inspired by poets such as T.S. Eliot, Mary Oliver, William Stafford, Langston Hughes, Pablo Neruda, Robert Frost, Rumi, May Sarton, Wallace Stevens, Wendell Berry, and Rainer Maria Rilke. "Leading from Within is perhaps the most soulful treatment of leadership ever composed. Leadership is first an inner quest, and there is absolutely no better place to explore your inner territory than in the pages of this book. This is an evocative work of art; do yourself an immense favor, and engage with these amazing and diverse leaders and their poems." —Jim Kouzes, coauthor of the bestselling The Leadership Challenge and A Leader's Legacy "Leading from Within makes brilliant use of the world's great poets to inspire us to lead with our hearts as well as our heads. It calls to the deeper purpose and meaning within all of us to use our gifts to serve others." —Bill George, author, True North: Discover Your Authentic Leadership "This is a superb collection of poems and deeply personal reflections from a wide range of real leaders. It is a gift to all of us who believe in bringing our hearts to our work." —Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) "The entries in this wonderful anthology are a joy to read and all the more interesting because of their special meaning to the leaders who recommended them. It is a book that every nonprofit leader should place among those they draw upon for inspiration every day." —Diana Aviv, president and CEO, Independent Sector "Leading from Within offers a candid view straight into the heart and soul of leaders striving to do good and effective work in the world. The poems and commentaries remind us that leadership is always deeply personal and chock-full of dilemmas that must be addressed by creativity, passion, imagination, and courage." —Jeff Swartz, president and CEO, Timberland
