Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking Through Barriers is a collection of events centered around the good fortunes and the struggles that the author has experienced. The author relives many of life's trials, battles, and some happy times, that result through the impact of decision making. Life can be joyful and engaging, but sometimes can be fearful and demanding. But no matter what life throws at us, we sometimes must break through the barriers of different forms of dysfunction, long suffering, bad judgement, and a host of other negative struggles that may imprison our minds, immobilize our bodies, and harden our hearts to successfully uncover all of life's pleasures, that the author believes we are destined to experience. The author often mentions her Christian faith, and how believing in God may not be a reality for some but has drawn her own conclusions from the most printed book ever published, The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible speaks of a Savior called Jesus Christ, who broke through so many barriers to save mankind. The author feels so deeply about her beliefs. She wanted to capture the essence of the message of the cross on her book cover. The author wanted to express to her readers that, like Jesus, we all have a cross to bear in life. And whatever struggles you face to bear that cross, you must to win and succeed in life! The author's faith in God has helped her conquer a large portion of her challenges, and many barriers faced. Faith enabled her present understanding that God is love and love conquers all. If you love yourself and you love others as you do yourself""no matter the size, shape, color, nationality""the majority of life's battles are mostly won. Sometimes we fight against each other because we have no compassion or love for someone who does not look like us or share our same beliefs. Somehow we must strive to get past the outer image, the physical, and look with our hearts spiritually, to find that unconditional love that conquers all! The author thinks the world would be a much better place to live if we changed our hearts and our interactions with all people, to improve the human race.

Download or read book Overcoming Employment Barriers written by Ronald L. Krannich and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do successful job seekers do that separates them from their less successful counterparts? Here's the book that provides 127 answers to that question. In fact, millions of job seekers face employment barriers. While some barriers may be caused by other people (discrimination) or circumstances beyond one's control (chronic health issues or natural disasters), most barriers represent self-inflected red flags created by poor choices, questionable skills, sketchy experience, and difficult personalities. Few job seekers are victims of a lousy job market, bad employers, or dumb luck. It's a candidate's own cumulative red flags or potholes in life - job hopping, incarceration, termination, time gaps, negative attitudes, and limited education, skills, and experience - that make employers suspicious, hesitant, reluctant, and then resistant to interview and hire such risky people. Similar to addictions, old habits are difficult to break, and denial prevents many people from changing their red flag behaviors. But few employment barriers are ever insurmountable. Most self-inflicted barriers pose challenges that require changes in attitudes and mindsets - renewed understanding, purpose, determination, and the drive to succeed. This user-friendly guide, overlaid with a strong cognitive therapy theme, initially profiles each barrier as a series of introspective questions and then provides descriptions and analyses followed by sound advice on how to best overcome the particular barrier. Organized by different types of barriers and related red flags, the book includes: - 12 barriers related to skills and work history - 27 barriers associated with attitudes and behaviors - 8 barriers focused to health, wellness, and disabilities - 80 barriers centered on job search knowledge and skills How do successful job seekers approach their job search, communicate with potential employers, complete applications, market resumes and letters, and get job interviews and offers? How do they handle rejections and bounce back? The 127 barriers outlined in this book go a long way to answering these important questions. . Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

In this widely anticipated and deeply researched book, Dr. Donohue, a victim of workplace stress herself, lays out a seven-step solution to give you the tools you need to make communication a cure for workplace stress, not a cause—even (especially) when you’re working with a generationally diverse team.

Through helpful charts, case studies, evidence-backed research, and more, you’ll walk away with the tools you need to ensure everyone on your team—yourself included—is heard and understood, so there’s less time clarifying and more time for everyone to be their best, most productive selves.

Download or read book Breaking the Fear Barrier written by Tom Rieger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes the reader through a journey of how fear of loss progressively creates barriers and bureaucracy that inevitably cause companies to fail -- and what leaders need to do to overcome these seemingly impenetrable walls. The greatest threat to an organization's success is not always the competition. Often, it is what a company does to itself. Because of fear, companies become plagued with barriers and bureaucracy that limit success, crush employees, and infuse frustration and a sense of futility across the enterprise. It starts with a narrowing of focus, which leads to the first level of bureaucracy: parochialism. Parochialism exists when managers and departments begin to view the world through the filter of their own little silo and build walls made of rules and policies to protect their turf. As businesses grow and become more complex, the second level of bureaucracy is reached: territorialism. While parochialism is about protecting a department from outsiders, territorialism is about controlling those inside the silo. The third and final level of bureaucracy is empire building, which is a response to perceived threats to a department's ability to be self-sufficient. These barriers cost organizations a fortune in inefficiency, turnover, waste, and demoralization. Tearing down these barriers is difficult, but it can be done. Parochialism can be eliminated by resetting rules and policies and refocusing on the ultimate mission of the organization. Territorialism can be eliminated by creating true empowerment, along with appropriate levels of accountability. Empire building can be addressed through shared goals and a set of guiding principles that help act as a referee in decision making. But that's not enough. Managers must also create a culture of courage to enable employees to take advantage of these new freedoms and accountabilities. Courage killers must be rooted out and dealt with swiftly and strongly. Finally, leaders must refocus on mission success rather than just checking off their part of the process, manage reference points, and engage employees. By doing all these things, an organization can become fearless and unstoppable.

Download or read book Career Barriers written by Manuel London and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume's goal is to help readers understand how people react to career barriers and how people develop constructive ways of coping with them. Drawing on original cases and data from interviews with people who faced different types of career barriers, the author describes how people react to, and make sense of, unfortunate events in their lives--and career barriers when they occur. He considers how and why some people cope constructively while others don't, and explores how resilience and support from others help get us through tough times and emerge with a sense of renewal and career growth. He suggests how we can manage career barriers and prepare for--or even prevent--career barriers through foresight, planning, and education. These methods also suggest what managers and organizations should do to help their employees who are or may soon be facing career barriers. People can learn while facing the stress and self-questioning that accompany career barriers, but this is not an easy process. Learning requires considerable self-understanding and environmental support. The organization can play a vital role in limiting people's pain and creating opportunities. However, despite generous severance packages and outplacement services, many organizations have been little help to people who lose their jobs, suffer job stress, face unreasonably demanding bosses, or suffer from physical handicaps or chronic illnesses. Most of the burden falls on individuals and their families. Assistance can and should come from employers, government agencies, educational institutions, and religious organizations. While the book focuses on the perspectives of people who have been or may be affected by career barriers, the material should be of interest to a broad range of readers --in particular, academics who study careers, practitioners in the fields of training and development, and government officials who set public policy that affects displaced workers.

Download or read book It Starts with One written by J. Stewart Black and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2014 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As many as 60% of organizational change initiatives fail. This means that many normally successful, motivated, and determined managers nonetheless struggle to lead change effectively. Most of those leadership failures share a common cause: managers mistakenly believe that organizational change is brought about by changing the organization. The truth is this: organizations change only as much or as fast as individuals change. And, to change individual behavior, you must first change the mental maps guiding that behavior. In It Starts with One, Third Edition, J. Stewart Black identifies the three critical "brain barriers" managers must break through in order to start, deepen, and sustain needed change. With new cases, examples, and tools for executing successful change initiatives, this edition dives even more deeply into the personal aspects of leading strategic change - as well as the unique challenges posed by driving change in global business environments. One step at a time, Black shows how to use their tools and techniques to bring solutions to life -- and transform change from a hope to a profitable reality.

Download or read book Breaking Barriers written by Freddie Pitcher, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-07-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Breaking Barriers, Judge Freddie Pitcher Jr. describes how he made history in Baton Rouge by becoming the first African American to be elected to judgeships at three different levels of the court system. Pitcher recounts his early years in Valley Park—a segregated and semi-rural neighborhood—where one of his cousins, a civil rights attorney, served as his role model and inspired him to become both a lawyer and an agent of change. Pitcher depicts what it was like to grow up in the segregated South and how racial discrimination fueled his drive to challenge the norms of the Baton Rouge judiciary later in life. Pitcher discusses how he forged together Black political organizations, the Black church community, and a group of white attorneys into a campaign coalition that ultimately helped him overcome the racial barriers that prevented Black people from ascending to the judiciary in Baton Rouge. He details the strategy used to win seats on both the Baton Rouge City Court and the 19th Judicial District Court at a time when many said a Black candidate could not win a city- or parish-wide election. He describes many of the challenges he faced as the first and only Black judge in Baton Rouge while highlighting some of the notable cases he tried and sharing his beliefs about judging and the judicial process. Pitcher’s story of rising from “the bench to the bar to the bench”—from the bench outside the local grocery store that he and his friends frequented as young boys, to the Louisiana bar, to the judicial bench—is informative and inspiring, shedding light on the perseverance and determination required of early African American candidates to overcome the many roadblocks to full participation in the political process related to the judiciary.
