Book excerpt: This isn't just a business book-this is a people-business book. Too often, executives place ambition and effort on the opposite end of empathy and cooperation. This is detrimental to your company and to you as an individual. Happiness and performance are not mutually exclusive. CEO and e-commerce expert Tom Caporaso learned the hard way. After discovering a hole in his heart during a routine physical, Tom underwent open-heart surgery at age twenty-nine. Not long after, his daughters were born prematurely. These experiences shifted his perspective from a self-focused mindset to one that appreciated a bigger, more collaborative picture. Second-Chance CEO details the value of compassionate leadership. Drawing on thirty years of business, mentorship, and life experience, Tom explains why empathy, inclusivity, and patience bolster a business's bottom line and serve a greater good. If you're seeking a better work-life balance, this book offers the tools you need to turn things around.

Download or read book Trust First written by Bruce Deel and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we choose to trust unconditionally, how many lives could we change? When Pastor Bruce Deel took over the Mission Church in the 30314 zip code of Atlanta, he had orders to shut it down. The church was old and decrepit, and its neighborhood--known as "Better Leave, You Effing Fool," or "the Bluff," for short--had the highest rates of crime, homelessness, and incarceration in Georgia. Expecting his time there to only last six months, Deel was not prepared for what happened next. One Sunday, he was approached by a woman he didn't know. "I've been hooking and stripping for fourteen years," she said. "Can you help me?" Soon after, Bruce founded an organization called City of Refuge rooted in the principle of radical trust. Other nonprofits might drug test before offering housing, lock up valuables, or veto a program giving job skills and character references to felons as "a liability." But Bruce believed the best way to improve outcomes for the marginalized and impoverished was to extend them trust, even if that trust was violated multiple times--and even if someone didn't yet trust themselves. Since then, City of Refuge has helped over 20,000 people in Atlanta's toughest neighborhood escape the cycles of homelessness, joblessness, and drug abuse. Of course, trust alone can't overcome a broken system that perpetuates inequality. Presenting an unvarnished window into the lives of ex-cons, drug addicts, human trafficking survivors, and displaced souls who have come through City of Refuge, Trust First examines the context in which Bruce's Atlanta neighborhood went downhill--and what City of Refuge chose to do about it. They've become a one-stop-shop for transitional housing, on-site medical and mental health care, childcare, and vocational training, including accredited intensives in auto tech, culinary arts, and coding. While most social services focus on one pain point and leave the burden on the poor to find the crosstown bus that'll serve their other needs, Bruce argues that bringing someone out of homelessness requires treating all of their needs simultaneously. This model has proven so effective that a dozen new chapters of City of Refuge have opened in the US, including in California, Illinois, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Texas, and Georgia. More than a narrative about a single place in time, this radical primer for behavioral change belongs on every leader's shelf. Heartfelt, deeply personal, and inspiring, Trust First will break down your assumptions about whether anyone is ever truly a lost cause. Bruce will donate a portion of his proceeds from Trust First to the charitable organization City of Refuge.

Download or read book On My Way Home written by Sharon L McDaniel and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s, the untimely death of a mother and the inability of a young father to care for his daughter and her two siblings propel a little girl into foster care. While hers is a singular tale of growing up with loss and uncertainty, and in a handful of disparate homes, this young girl's experiences connect her to thousands of others who still endure the loneliness and disappointment that come with being in the child welfare system.Even during a young life filled with frequent uprooting, including life in a shelter, she discovers an inner resilience to sustain her quest for a "home," learns to lean on the protection and love of her sister, and experiences the meaning of family. She survived. She endured. She overcame. Today that young girl is businesswoman in the non-profit and philanthropic sectors.Here is the story of how one little girl who lost her "home" now uses her voice as a national advocate for more compassionate and kinship care services so that over 500,000 children who are now in the system can reclaim their voices and thrive. Child welfare expert, provider of child welfare services in the non-profit realm, and philanthropist Sharon (Toliver-maiden name) McDaniel knows well the life of these children and youth in foster care. She was one of them. With a mother who died when (Toliver) McDaniel was just two and a father who was too young and inexperienced to properly care for her and her two siblings, she wound up in the child welfare system at the age of six until she was 17 when she graduated from high school and aged out of the system.Her memoir is a journey of her travels through other people's homes and being splintered from her siblings. She endures family loss, a life of instability, and intense loneliness and hunger, as well as the complexities of emancipation. But in the end, her inner resilience, a network of caring families, and education supported the pursuit of her life's work-advocating for kinship care as a primary placement option to foster care.
