Book excerpt: The prescriptive follow-up to the New York Times bestseller The Dream Manager. One of the major issues in our lives today is work-life balance. Everyone wants it; no one has it. But Matthew Kelly believes that work- life balance was a mistake from the start. Because we don't really want balance. We want satisfaction. Kelly lays out the system he uses with his clients, his team, and himself to find deep, long-term satisfaction both personally and professionally. He introduces us to the three philosophies of our age that are dragging us down. He shows us how to cultivate the energy that will give us enough battery power for everything we need and want to do. And finally, in five clear steps, he shows us how to use his Personal & Professional Satisfaction System to establish and honor our biggest priorities, even if we spend a lot more time on some of the lesser ones.

Download or read book Balancing Green written by Yossi Sheffi and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-03-30 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert on business strategy offers a pragmatic take on how businesses of all sizes balance the competing demands of profitability and employment with sustainability. The demands and stresses on companies only grow as executives face a multitude of competing business goals. Their stakeholders are interested in corporate profits, jobs, business growth, and environmental sustainability. In this book, business strategy expert Yossi Sheffi offers a pragmatic take on how businesses of all sizes—from Coca Cola and Siemens to Dr. Bronner's Magical Soaps and Patagonia—navigate these competing goals. Drawing on extensive interviews with more than 250 executives, Sheffi examines the challenges, solutions, and implications of balancing traditional business goals with sustainability. Sheffi, author of the widely read The Resilient Enterprise, argues that business executives' personal opinions on environmental sustainability are irrelevant. The business merits of environmental sustainability are based on the fact that even the most ardent climate change skeptics in the C-suite face natural resource costs, public relations problems, regulatory burdens, and a green consumer segment. Sheffi presents three basic business rationales for corporate sustainability efforts: cutting costs, reducing risk, and achieving growth. For companies, sustainability is not a simple case of “profits versus planet” but is instead a more subtle issue of (some) people versus (other) people—those looking for jobs and inexpensive goods versus others who seek a pristine environment. This book aims to help companies satisfy these conflicting motivations for both economic growth and environmental sustainability.

Book excerpt: Nik Wallenda, "King of the High Wire," doesn't know fear. As a seventh generation of the legendary Wallenda family, he grew up performing, entertaining, and pushing the boundaries of gravity and balance. When Nik was four years old, he watched a video from 1978 of his great grandfather, Karl Wallenda, walking between the towers of the Condado Plaza Hotel in Puerto Rico, stumbling, and falling to his death because of improper rigging. When Nik heard his father quote his great-grandfather-"Life is on the wire, everything else is just waiting"-the words resonated deep within his soul and he vowed to be a hero like Karl Wallenda. Balance is the theme of Nik's life: between his work and family, his faith in God and artistry, his body and soul. It resonates from him when performing and when no one is looking. When walking across Niagara Falls, he prayed aloud the entire time, and to keep his lust for glory and fame in check, Nik returned to the site of his performance the next day and spent three hours cleaning up trash left by the crowd. Nik Wallenda is an entertainer who wants to not only thrill hearts, but to change hearts for Christ. Christ is the balance pole that keeps him from falling.

Time to get passionate about full self-expression and get you on track balanced, happy and moving forward with vitality and joy!You can have all the money in the world, but if you don't feel balanced and content with your life, the money in your bank accounts means nothing. While I have worked with many successful entrepreneurs who have the money side of things handled, many of them were unhappy in their relationships and everything that defined who they were revolved around their work.I've also mentored women unhappily married, and all the unhappiness focused on the partner. There was such a fog of muddle thinking and assigning blame. Saving the relationship or leaving it couldn't really be addressed because the balance wheel was so off kilter. I successfully helped many women focus on building themselves and their happiness up, while validating what they could in the relationship - leaving the hard discussions alone for a few months. Many women found such clarity in becoming strong and grounded for themselves. With that vitality and clarity, some returned wholeheartedly to relationship, while others were able to step out of a relationship that no longer was suited to them, with balanced calm and ease. In the second half of the book you'll find full self-expression action pages. This fast action guide is meant to be used over a period of weeks with the intended goal of bringing life into more balance and full self-expression.As you progress through each week you will be working on filling out the balance wheel so you each week are feeling more satisfaction in all 8 areas of life.* Financial* Spirituality* Creativity* Health and recreation* Social and friends* Emotional balance* Career* Family intimate friendsEach of these areas is addressed in the first half of Balance Your Life Now. You are given suggestions on how to raise your satisfaction and happiness in each area up to the goal being full satisfaction or 100%.I originally developed this training to go along with my spiritual life coaching practice years ago. I was working with women, a key focus on helping them get back into a relationship that had lost its luster, or to step out of the relationship and move on feeling complete. Other women who had not been in a long-term love relationship but were very successful in their career, at the expense of feeling happy or joyful also felt this was of great benefit.And of course a natural evolution to this was to add charts for children (typically over 10) who, with their moms, we also having difficulty finding balance and ease. This is a very helpful guide to getting grounded and enjoying life. And finally you'll see women wanting to find the balance with their man and a couples tool, a Balance Wheel used for weekly check-ins on how are we doing and what can we work on together to build our happiness came into existence.Pick a day of the week that will be your 'self-accountability' day. Make a date with yourself to review your chart and questions each week. Once you've measured how satisfied you're feeling in each area, look to the lower areas and day dream, brainstorm, and research, how can I bring more satisfaction into this part of my life? Add some action and activities to your week with the intention of raising the satisfaction number to a higher level.Most folks are able to accomplish their goals in 8 to 12 weeks, while others who were far out of balance got it done in 6-9 months. Everyone did get it done!

Book excerpt: Until Expectations May You Part Giddy with excitement and burning with love’s fire, engaged couples are filled with desires and expectations! Wonder and eager anticipation propel them forward. Then comes the marriage and if they take the wrong approach, those unrealized expectations and unmet wants can turn a life-giving covenant relationship into a dead-end contractual agreement. Suddenly your marriage has no love, joy, or peace. In this marriage-makeover DVD and study guide from Northpoint Resources, Andy Stanley ’s three key teachings help you transform your expectations and examine the “I’s” of marriage: “Keeping My ‘I’ On You,” “Putting Your ‘I’ Out,” and “It Takes Three.” Broken into six DVD sessions with discussion questions, this is one lesson your marriage won’t survive without. Until Expectations Do Us Part Standing at the altar we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like. The problem is this picture of marriage ends up as expectations that we unload on our spouse. The weight of these expectations will rob your marriage of love and joy. As a spouse you never feel like you measure up and you never feel like you are good enough. So what are you to do with your expectations? You can’t deny them because most expectations started out as God-given desires. In this six-session companion study guide to the DVD, Andy Stanley explains that you must instead learn to transform your expectations and look to God if you are to experience marriage as it was designed. This study guide is complete with a leader’s guide and six lessons including conversation-starting exercises, discussion questions and application steps. Story Behind the Book Andy Stanley is the senior pastor of three North Point Ministries campuses, with a cumulative congregation of more than twenty thousand. As couples voiced their various marital struggles to him, the common root problem became undeniably clear. The “me” syndrome, or the “I” effect, was tearing apart husbands and wives who were once head-over-heels in love. To help couples step back from their immediate circumstances and realize the bigger picture, he preached a series called “iMarriage.” This DVD and study guide will empower couples everywhere to transform their marriages into the one God intends for them.
