Download or read book From The Plains To Planes And Other Plain Talk written by John Whalen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-07-24 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raised on a farm in the plains of North Dakota, John Whalen was determined there had to be a better life somewhere. For much of his youth, he lived without electricity and indoor plumbing. He despised farming. When he saw there was no change to broaden his education in the state, he sought other means. Thus began his journey From The Plains...To Planes...And Other Plain Talk. As an adolescent, John Whalen realized that he may be gay. His upbringing would not permit such a thing, and he was determined as he matured that those feelings would disappear. Leaving for the west coast, he worked for two trucking companies and finished college. He enjoyed the business but became bored with life in Portland. He decided to travel to Alaska. In Alaska, he found opportunities he could not have imagined. Starting with a small auditing firm, the opportunities grew and ultimately he found himself the president and CEO of one of the nation's largest worldwide airfreight forwarding companies. The path to success was not easy, and Whalen faced many struggles including his sexual orientation, a disruptive divorce, and diabetes. Determined to come out a winner, he made decisions in his life that eventually brought him success and happiness.

Download or read book Plain Speaking written by Merle Miller and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Never has a President of the United States, or any head of state for that matter, been so totally revealed, so completely documented” (Robert A. Arthur). Plain Speaking is the bestselling book based on conversations between Merle Miller and the thirty-third President of the United States, Harry S. Truman. From these interviews, as well as others who knew him over the years, Miller transcribes Truman’s feisty takes on everything from his personal life, military service, and political career to the challenges he faced in taking the office during the final days of World War II and the beginning of the Cold War. Using a series of taped discussions from 1962 that never aired on television, Plain Speaking takes an opportunity to deliver exactly how Mr. Truman felt about the presidency, and his thoughts in his later years on his accomplishments and the legacy he left behind. “The values of Plain Speaking, on the whole, are those of the highest form of political communication: the bull session. As with all good bull sessions, what is said here ranges widely in quality and seriousness, as one should expect when dealing with a complex man.” —The New York Times “Plain Speaking has a nostalgic, downhome quality of good friends gossiping over the back fence, or saying their piece of a twilight eve rocking on the porch—and if those fellas back in Washington have their secret machines running, well, they won’t like what they overhear. Not one little bit.” —Kirkus Reviews

Book excerpt: The definitive career guide for grad students, adjuncts, post-docs and anyone else eager to get tenure or turn their Ph.D. into their ideal job Each year tens of thousands of students will, after years of hard work and enormous amounts of money, earn their Ph.D. And each year only a small percentage of them will land a job that justifies and rewards their investment.

This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volunteer management is stuck in a decades old paradigm. It doesn't work for today's volunteers. In The Disruptive Volunteer Manager, blogger Meridian Swift lays out 6 steps to modernizing volunteer management. By following the steps, today's volunteer managers will position themselves as leaders of a movement to elevate volunteers and volunteer contributions. Each step equips a volunteer manager with the tools to attract and sustain modern volunteers while increasing respect and demand for volunteer involvement. Just a few of the many questions Swift answers are: How is volunteer synergy formed? Where do balanced volunteer projects fall on the tasks priority list? Are volunteers human capital, assets or a product? Should we worry about a volunteer block chain? How do we stop the volunteer talent churn? What is volunteer role scalability? Disrupting volunteer management means positioning for the future of volunteer engagement and breaking the bonds of an outdated system to become an effective leader. With 6 steps to reframe volunteer management, The Disruptive Volunteer Manager illustrates the path to a better way.
