But what happens when your soothing behavior is uncontrollable and causing more discomfort than relief? If you struggle with nail biting (onychophagia), skin picking (dermatillomania), or hair pulling (trichotillomania), you might have a Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB). This book explores what a BFRB is, how you are not alone in the struggle, and how you can take control. What happens when you can't stop picking your skin, pulling your hair, or biting your nails? What is it called, and why does it matter? "Everyone Picks" offers a simple explanation of body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) for all ages to feel a little less alone on their mental health journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After suffering a career ending knee injury, I’m forced to retire from the Chicago Guardians, the pro NFL team I’ve played with for fifteen years. To say it was heartbreaking is the understatement of the century. Even though I’ve had a great career, I find my way back to my hometown of Brystone Springs, Texas. Brystone Springs University, where I’ve taken a coaching job, is where the trouble begins. I didn’t know that one of the team's All-Stars is the man I had a mind-blowing one-night stand with when I first got back to town. Now, I have to see him every damn day. Kody Remington. He’s stubborn, sassy, and intoxicating as hell. His looks and memories of that night haunt me every waking and sleeping moment. His attitude, though, is appalling and makes me want to take him over my knee. I can’t touch him again, though. Not if I want to keep my job, and he wants to stay in school. One day, everything changes. Suddenly, I don’t give a damn about the consequences. I know we both need each other. What I don’t know is if our intense feelings for one another are strong enough to save us both from forces I don’t even understand.

Book excerpt: Where do you fall on your organization's performance spectrum? Unstoppable is performance-enhancing manual for those who are ready to change the world. Regardless of talent or skill set, there are four types of people in every organization: Undertakers, Caretakers, Play Makers, and Game Changers—but value is definitely not equal across the board.

The key to high performance is an intentionally cultivated mindset of success, backed by the bold action it takes to make things happen every day. This book delves deep into the elite performance paradigm to help you work at the highest levels. Learn what separates the playmakers from the game changers Step up your performance with a simple five-step process Transform your thinking and develop an unstoppable toughness Be the best at what you do, and elevate your entire organization The performance spectrum is not about classifying your coworkers; it's about self-assessment, self-reflection, and self-improvement.

Download or read book Recharge Your Team written by Jay W. Vogt and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As most managers know, you need a vision to motivate employees to achieve goals. But people, and companies, lose focus, and the future appears hazy. People say, We're getting stale, or, I just don't know where we're headed. Leaders know they need a vision to bring people together. And they know a good vision will renew enthusiasm and commitment. But waiting for inspiration rarely works—sometimes you need a vision now. But how? Recharge Your Team not only shows managers how to create an effective vision—it shows how to do it in as little as four hours, using a time-tested, proven approach. Traditionally, companies call in consultants to help create a vision. Experts can help—for $4,000 per day plus expenses. And then there's the time involved: Visioning efforts can take months. This book offers a less-expensive, faster method. Called Grounded Visioning, and based on a concept called appreciative inquiry, the process allows groups to come up with a revitalizing vision that everyone buys into in half a day or less. How? As this book shows, the key is to be sure everyone takes part, to base the vision on how the team acts when at its best, and to imagine a vision bold enough to inspire but practical enough to feel achievable. This book covers the six quick but essential steps that ensure such results—with small teams or large groups. And any manager, not just trainers or HR people, can lead a successful Grounded Visioning session. Grounded visioning is a breakthrough concept of breathtaking simplicity and power that any leader can put to use today. It works, because it frees employees to share their dreams, hopes, and aspirations. As they soar, a vision naturally arises that recharges the team.
