There are so many wellness and business titles on the market focusing on success and productivity, but not many which encourage you to break that autopilot circuit of 'busy' and flip the conversation back towards what makes you yay. Entrepreneur and Co-Founder of Matcha Maiden green tea, Sarah started her first business after suffering from a case of complete adrenal exhaustion. As a young lawyer looking for a caffeine-free fix to supplement her serious coffee habit, she ordered ten kilos of tea from Japan by accident. Starting up a side hustle to shift the nine kilos of matcha she didn't need, Matcha Maiden was born. With no background in the area, business experience or investment behind them, Sarah and her partner Nic built Matcha Maiden from scratch, followed by internationally acclaimed plant-based cafe Matcha Mylkbar and, later, the chart-topping Seize the Yay podcast. Here, Sarah shows how it can be done without losing your joy or sense of appreciation for the journey. Sharing practical tips and life advice to help you realize your own career and life dreams while staying grounded and well, Seize The Yay is your one-stop shop for achieving business success.

Book excerpt: Zachary Wong offers practical strategies, skills, and tools to help project managers diagnose and solve their toughest people problems. Based on decades in the trenches, the book shows how to confront and correct bad behavior, increase team performance and inclusion, turn around difficult people and poor performers, get people to do what you want them to do, boost employee motivation and attitude, reduce change resistance and risk aversion, and manage difficult bosses. Wong believes that the best team leaders are problem-solvers and facilitators, so this book provides problem-solving models and tools to diagnose people problems, and facilitative methods, processes, and techniques to correct them. It's an approach that can be personalized to fit any person or situation. Each skill is explained with a well-balanced mix of case stories, examples, strategies, processes, tools, and techniques along with illustrations, graphics, tables, and other visuals to clarify key concepts and their workplace application. To reinforce the most important learnings, Wong includes a “Memory Card” and “Skill Summary” at the end of each chapter. Nothing is harder than leading people and managing project teams. Being successful takes a combination of knowing human psychology, organizational behaviors, and human factors; having supervisory, process, and communication skills; ensuring good teamwork, high integrity, and strong leadership; and having the ability to integrate and apply these skills to a diverse work team. The Eight Essential People Skills for Project Management is designed for individuals, team leaders, and managers who oversee and coordinate the daily performance of others and who are seeking solutions that they can apply immediately.
