Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
An expert in business turnaround shares his inspiring approach to problem-solving: “A fascinating read” (Mitt Romney). Visionary leader Greg Brenneman believes that true business success and personal fulfillment are two sides of the same coin. The techniques that will grow your business will also help you achieve a rich, purposeful, and integrated life. Here, Brenneman takes what he’s learned from turning around or tuning up many businesses—including Continental Airlines and Burger King—and distills it into a simple, clear, five-step roadmap that anyone can follow. He teaches you how to: *prepare a succinct Go Forward plan *build a fortress balance sheet *grow your sales and profits *choose all-star servant leaders *empower your team For more than thirty years, Brenneman has seen these steps foster dramatic results in a variety of business environments. But he also came to realize that he could apply these same principles to improve his life and build a lasting moral legacy. He found he could make better decisions by carefully taking the most important facets of his life—faith, family, friendship, fitness, and finance—into consideration. Brenneman’s inspiring examples, from both his business and his life, demonstrate the astounding effects these steps can have when you apply them—right away and all at once.

A Woman's Guide to Claiming Space
Author: Eliza VanCort
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
ISBN: 1523092750
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
For too long, women have been told to confine themselves-physically, socially, and emotionally. Eliza VanCort says now is the time for women to stand tall, raise their voices, and claim their space. Women fight the pressure to make themselves small in private, professional, and public spaces. VanCort, a teacher, consultant, and speaker, provides the necessary tools for women to rewrite the rules and create the stories of their choosing safely and without apology. VanCort identifies the five key behaviors of all Space-Claiming Queens: use your voice and posture to project confidence and power, end self-sabotage, forge connections, neutralize unsafe spaces, and unite across differences. Through personal narrative, research, and actionable strategies, VanCort provides how-tos on combating challenges, such as antimentors and microaggressions, and gives advice for building up your old girls club, asking for what you're worth, and owning your space without apology. Bold, fun, and enlightening, this book is birthed from VanCort's incredible story. Having a mother with schizophrenia forced VanCort to learn to be small and invisible at an early age, and suffering a traumatic brain injury as an adult required her to rethink communication from the ground up. Drawing on these experiences, and those of real women everywhere, VanCort empowers women to claim space for themselves and for their sisters with courage, empathy, and conviction because when we rise together, we rise so much higher.

Book Description
The ex-military pilot. The bewitched single mother. The plane crash that saves their lives. Getting pregnant by the wrong man and trying to make it right didn’t serve me well. It’s been years and we’re not any closer to where we should be. Working night and day in an I.C.U. doesn’t bode well for a relationship, either, but I’m doing my best. Tonight, the most beautiful man walks into the hospital. He’s here for his father, who was just rushed in with a massive heart attack. If the man lives through the night, I’ll be surprised. His son, Garrett Ford, is a pilot, and he’s dressed like one. It’s difficult to focus on my job with a man who is larger than life, and dressed to kill, with piercingly blue eyes and full lips. What’s more, he’s very polite and professional, which gets me. When his father wakes up for just a second and thinks I’m his estranged wife, Garrett looks at me in a way that I’ll never forget. *** She’s hands down the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Nora could stop traffic. What’s more, she’s smart, hard working, independent, and she’s the best single parent I’ve ever met. Her kid’s dad is a pill, but I have to turn the other cheek with him around, even though I know he’d rather see me crash and burn than see Nora and I together. I soon learn what lengths he’ll go to to remove me from the picture. We’ll see how far he gets. Trouble is, Nora sees him through a different set of eyes, and there is no convincing her that he is what he is. It’s tough being the outsider in this three person relationship, and sometimes I feel like Nora’s daughter Missy just puts up a front for me. I mean, what kid wouldn’t want her natural father and mother to be together? Soon, it’s clear just how much that is true… HEA (Happily Ever After) Second chance romance Medical romance Military romance Medium heat Course language Mild cliffhanger ending Third book in a complete 5 book standalone series "An emotional story that grabs you from the beginning. The subject matter was dealt with brilliantly. I love the Ford brothers and their sense of family. Looking forward to reading Dalton's story." - 5 Stars from Belinda, Amazon reviewer "I am so in love with these books!! Great read, well written. Just enough drama and romance to keep you interested the ENTIRE TIME!!!" - 5 Stars from Brooke, Amazon reviewer "This book is another demonstration of the close relationship between the Ford brothers. Garrett finds the love of his life only to lose her due to a lie. His brothers support him through his pain." - 5 Stars from @rdcorder1, Bookbub reviewer "I LOVED this story about a second chance at love. Full of passion, heartbreak, misunderstandings and family togetherness through tough times. It also touches on the effects of mental illness too. I really couldn’t put it down." - 5 Stars from Bella Gwyn, Goodreads reviewer "So many twists and turns, the depth of emotions as the story explores many issues faced by couples and families, especially when adding in mental health issues and estranged parents. The power of family strength shines through all the Ford brothers books and this is another incredible read!!!" - 5 Stars from Mandy Foley, Goodreads reviewer

Pages : 306
Book Description
From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
