In those late days of August, 2005, they thought they could overcome. They were wrong. They put their homes, their property and their lives in the hands of a levee system. They gambled on the Bayou and lost when the levee broke, washing away everything they had. The only surviving aspect of the human condition was their faith. Michael Scott watched his wife die in his arms as he struggled to save his daughter Trinity from the storm. When the Coast Guard rescued them from atop their washed out family home, they were forced to move on without her. Now, the widower is a single parent and must rebuild for the only family he has left. A new home, a new state and a new life await but he must first overcome his devastating loss. His wife was his destiny, his lovebird, his lobster and his forever love. In order to move forward he must put it all behind him. Can he ever find love again or is he destined to be washed away like the love of his life? Faced with challenges at every turn, Michael Scott hides in one Sanctuary after another to avoid the inevitable bridge that he will need to cross in order to find happiness once again. Come along on this heartfelt journey as LaPorta explores the courage, resolve, and closure needed to possess as his characters look to the everlasting rainbow. Sanctuary will evoke human emotions; the depth of which you may never have experienced before. Life supplies us all with an infinite supply of love but you have to be brave enough to open your heart again to experience it.

Download or read book Leading Collaborative Architectural Practice written by Erin Carraher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking guide to modern leadership in architectural practice Leading Collaborative Architectural Practice is the leadership handbook for today's design and construction professionals. Endorsed by the American Institute of Architects, this book describes the collaborative approach to leadership that is becoming increasingly prevalent in modern practice; gone are the days of authoritative "star" architects— today's practice is a brand, and requires the full input of every member of the team. This book builds off of a two-year AIA research project to provide a blueprint for effective leadership: the ability, awareness, and commitment to lead project teams who work together to accomplish the project's goals. Both group and individual hands-on exercises help facilitate implementation, and extensive case studies show how these techniques have helped real-world firms build exemplary success through collaborative teamwork and leadership. Highly illustrated and accessible, this approach is presented from the practicing architect's point of view—but the universal principles and time-tested methods also provide clear guidance for owners, contractors, engineers, project managers, and students. Build a culture of collaboration, commitment, and interpersonal awareness Adopt effective leadership techniques at the team, project, or practice level Handle conflict and resolve communication issues using tested approaches Learn how real-world projects use effective leadership to drive success The last decade has seen a sea-change in architectural leadership. New practices no longer adopt the name and identity of a single person, but create their own identity that represents the collaborative work of the entire group. Shifts in technology and changing workplace norms have made top-down management structures irrelevant, so what does it now mean to lead? Forefront presents effective contemporary leadership in the architectural practice, and real-world guidance on everyday implementation.

Book excerpt: The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.
