Download or read book Choosing Courage written by Jim Detert and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational, practical, and research-based guide for standing up and speaking out skillfully at work. Have you ever wanted to disagree with your boss? Speak up about your company's lack of diversity or unequal pay practices? Make a tough decision you knew would be unpopular? We all have opportunities to be courageous at work. But since courage requires risk—to our reputations, our social standing, and, in some cases, our jobs—we often fail to act, which leaves us feeling powerless and regretful for not doing what we know is right. There's a better way to handle these crucial moments—and Choosing Courage provides the moral imperative and research-based tactics to help you become more competently courageous at work. Doing for courage what Angela Duckworth has done for grit and Brene Brown for vulnerability, Jim Detert, the world's foremost expert on workplace courage, explains that courage isn't a character trait that only a few possess; it's a virtue developed through practice. And with the right attitude and approach, you can learn to hone it like any other skill and incorporate it into your everyday life. Full of stories of ordinary people who've acted courageously, Choosing Courage will give you a fresh perspective on the power of voicing your authentic ideas and opinions. Whether you’re looking to make a mark, stay true to your values, act with more integrity, or simply grow as a professional, this is the guide you need to achieve greater impact at work.

Download or read book Silent Brand written by Borden Davis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-06-18 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This adventure, is packed with so much rich historical fact, the idea of fiction will be pushed from your mind. For instance, in the first chapter, there is a fire at 159 Hudson Street.In 1844, when our adventure starts, there was, in fact, a fire at 159 Hudson Street, in New York City. At the age of twelve, Brad Jamestown becomes a street kid in the most horrid city of the times, New York City in the eighteen hundreds. That is an unrelenting location to learn how to survive. He develops a street gutter heart. Soon he is taken in by two very tough, but decent men that own a saloon. His ability to fight to extremes is a story in itself. By way of a realistic situation, Brad is taught how to defend himself without weapons. Some of the confrontations were taken from events that happened in my own life. The methods and results are real. In this part of our thriller, you’ll learn horrendous facts about New York City, caused by the tremendous incoming of immigrants. Among many regrettable details, you’ll learn that seventy percent of the deaths were child. Child prostitution was rampant. Brad is given some simple advice from his mentors. ‘If you’re going to fight with every jackass you meet, be prepared to fight every day for the rest of your life.’ Another man tells him, ‘You’re to young to be a lover, be a liker. And, remember there’s enough women in the world that want to fool around, don’t pick on the one’s that don’t. Factual information is added to the story about baseball. It’s injected periodically to add some lightness too my writing. The first recorded baseball game was on June 19, 1847. Brad attends the game. In that game, the first fine was handed out.The pitcher, Davis was fined six cents for swearing at the umpire. Another game that Brad goes to, further into the story, is the first game that started the biggest and longest rivalry in baseball history, between the Giants and the Dodgers. During this time in baseball history, there was only one league, the National. The first pitcher to throw a no-hitter, was Joe Borden on May 23, 1875. Borden and Davis, interesting. When Brad was young, his mother and father were teachers and he was well educated. An event forces, Brad to move on from the saloon and his first job is working for Mr. Cogswell. He is a loveable, middle-aged man who was chosen to make the John Jacob Astor library a reality. Mr. Astor before his death bequeathed his personal library and forty thousand dollars to make his dream come true. Mr. Cogswell does quite a good job in adding knowledge to the young man’s mind. One difference between humanity and animals is, animals don’t have libraries. We learn that Brad is a restless young man. His next job is at the New York Daily Times. He is hired just before the first edition hits the street. The publisher, Mr. Henry Jarvis Raymond, takes him under his wing. The young man learns much about society. I do not take any writer’s license to justify this thought-provoking thriller. I believe a tale that grasps a readers thoughts should be logical. Frank, a reporter at the Times, becomes one of his teachers. He warns him not to be bamboozled into a false interview. He gives him an example of a young man who got the New York Sun to publish an article that immigrants were being brought into America from Europe by balloon. The man who completed the hoax was none other than Edgar Allan Poe. Frank tells Brad he should patronize high class restaurants, every once in awhile. That way he will be able to rub elbows with the rich and prosperous. Brad, although only nineteen now, is a fine figure of a man. He appears much older than he looks. One night, he goes to a fine restaurant. A twist of fate brings love into his life.It so happens,the lady is a very expensive, high class prostitute. Another part of his person is educated. As we start to put the pieces together, Brad is becoming a very well rounded young man. It so happens, the next time he goes to ru
Download or read book Brave Journeys written by David Mixner and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2011-04-20 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Stranger Among Friends, renowned activist, political adviser, and White House insider David Mixner offered a compelling account of his decades-long fight for human rights and the challenges he faced as a gay man in Washington. Now, in this new book written with collaborator Dennis Bailey, Mixner presents moving, candid, and inspiring portraits of other extraordinary men and women engaged in the struggle for equality. Brave Journeys: Profiles in Gay and Lesbian Courage From a top-gun pilot in the U.S. Navy to an authority on antigay violence, from a member of the president's administration to a leading Shakespearean actor, Brave Journeys tells the stirring stories of seven intrepid men and women who effectively challenged the status quo and thereby altered the political and societal landscape of the world we live in. In these pages we meet Hispanic-American Dianne Hardy-Garcia, executive director of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Lobby of Texas and a passionate crusader against hate crimes; Elaine Noble, the feisty veteran of Boston's busing wars who became the first openly gay person to be elected to a state office in the United States-the Massachusetts State Legislature; brilliant British actor Sir Ian McKellen, who came out as a gay man and an activist in one very public moment on the BBC; Roberta Achtenberg, who braved the venomous homophobia of Jesse Helms in Senate confirmation hearings for her appointment to the Department of Housing and Urban Development; Lieutenant Tracy Thorne, a Navy fighter pilot living his lifelong dream of flight who outed himself on Nightline to challenge the U.S. military's policy against gays and lesbians, fully aware that this would mean the end of his Navy career; and San Franciscans Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, founders of the first national lesbian organization, the Daughters of Bilitis, who have celebrated fifty years together as a couple. Powerful and eloquent, Brave Journeys is David Mixner's tribute to gay men and lesbians who have made a difference. Rich in private bravery and public risk, these profiles comprise a vivid map of the gay rights movement over the last fifty years-and individually they testify to the power of courage to force change against profoundly overwhelming odds.

Download or read book Choose and Choose Again written by J. Kevin Butcher and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Choose and Choose Again, the reader will encounter story after story of different people, most of whom are from Hope Community Church of Detroit, where Pastor Butcher has been sharing the healing love of God for thirteen years. They represent men and women, African American, Caucasian, Latino, and Asian, urban and suburban, professional types and prostitutes, clergy and addicts, drunks and lawyers and convicts—wounded human beings who have found themselves empty, dying, and longing to be filled. The stories are not only about their own healing and restoration but also about how the love of God heals. Butcher hopes that readers will find before them a path of healing that they feel compelled to embrace. He begins with his own story of emptiness and despair, and his journey to healing, but the ultimate power of his message is that this healing journey is for anyone who is willing to own his or her emptiness and hold one’s heart out to God, who is desperately longing to love each person all the way home.
