Book Seen  Heard  and Paid

Download or read book Seen Heard and Paid written by Alan Henry and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2022-06-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real tools for career success and work satisfaction for anyone feeling undermined or marginalized at their job, from a productivity expert and editor at Wired. “Alan Henry doesn’t just illuminate the invisible barriers that often stand in the way of success—he shines a light on what you can do to break through them.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLife For over twenty years, Alan Henry has written about using technology and productivity techniques to work and live better for publications such as Lifehacker, The New York Times, and Wired. But he found that as a Black man he didn’t have access to some of the more powerful ways to hack your job—like only checking email once a day or blocking out time on your calendar to do deep work. In fact, he found that even when he landed a prestigious title at the Times, there were moments when he was still overlooked and excluded from the most interesting and career-boosting work. This led him to first explore these struggles in a Times piece titled “Productivity Without Privilege.” Now he goes even deeper, interviewing experts across multiple fields to come up with powerful tools to overcome the forces of marginalization. In Seen, Heard, and Paid, Henry shares the new work rules that may finally allow people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ folks to have the same access to career advancement and rewarding work as those with more privilege, including: How to Be Seen: Only spend time on work that gets you attention. How to Be Heard: Figure out your unique contribution. How to Get Paid: Data is power and power is money. Whether you’re dealing with microaggressions, trying to get the glamour work instead of the office housework, weighing the pluses and minuses of working remotely, or deciding it’s time to look for a new opportunity, Seen, Heard, and Paid will help you feel informed, supported, and empowered.

Download or read book Seen and Heard written by Ellen Lynn Hall and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2011-01-13 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using examples from a Reggio-inspired school with children from ages 6 weeks to 6 years, the authors emphasize the importance of children's rights and our responsibility as adults to hear their voices. Seen and Heard summarizes research and theory pertaining to young children's rights in the United States, and offers strategies educators can use to ensure the inclusion of children's perspectives in everyday decisions. Real-life classroom vignettes illustrate how young children perceive the idea of rights through observation and discussion. The authors' work is based on these essential ideas: (1) the "one hundred languages" children use for exploring, discovering, constructing, representing, and conveying their ideas; (2) the pedagogy of listening, in which children and adults carefully attend to the world and to one another; (3) the notion that all children have the right to participate in the communities in which they reside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This literary thriller's complex narrative involves a cursed house, an unsolved murder and impeccable writing.” —The New York Times Book Review • The basis for the Netflix film Things Heard and Seen Recent transplants to the small town of Chosen, New York, the Clares have not received the warmest welcome; once a thriving dairy farm, their home is haunted by the tragedy that left the former owner’s three sons orphaned and adrift. Late one winter afternoon, professor George Clare knocks on his neighbor’s door with terrible news: he returned from work to find his wife, Catherine, murdered in their bed. Someone took an ax to her head while their three-year-old daughter, Franny, played alone in her room across the hall. As one dark secret peels away to reveal others—and as the Clare marriage reveals itself to have a sinister darkness that rivals the farm’s history—Elizabeth Brundage offers a rich and complex portrait of the scars that can haunt a community for generations and the dark longings inside each and every one of us that drive us to do inexplicable things.

Book Seen and Heard

Book excerpt: As a messenger of television news, an anchorperson must hook the audience and make them pay attention. In America, there has been a strong tradition of male news anchors--Edward R. Murrow, Walter Cronkite, Dan Rather, Peter Jennings. These men, perched at their 'electronic hearths', recounted the details of America's most significant history to its citizens. Today, women are visible in every area of television news, even in the hallowed anchor chair, but their presence has been hard-fought and continues to present unique challenges. When Oprah Winfrey edorsed the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, it reinforced the tremendous power a broadcaster can wield. Seen and Heard examines the lives, careers, and communication styles of twelve of the most compelling and recognizable women of television news, including Christiane Amanpour, Elizabeth Vargas, Diane Sawyer, Paula Zahn, Judy Woodruff, and Candy Crowley. From Barbara Walters's vast career that spans more than half a century to Katie Couric's historic appointment as the sole anchor of the CBS Evening News, this book explores the obstacles and opportunities for women in broadcasting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In normal times, adolescence is not easy. Changes in the external world can amplify internal changes and make it more difficult for teens to cope, let alone thrive. During adolescence, parents often struggle to remain connected with their teens. Lainie Liberti helps parents understand their teen's developmental stages and behaviors in an easy to follow format through stories, research, applied psychology and science-backed tools. Prepared with the right tools, parents can support their teens on a journey towards greater mental health. Throughout this inspirational book, you'll explore a new conceptual framework for parenting which will transform your relationships. Be prepared to do the uncomfortable work required in order to support your teen through some of the biggest mental health challenges our generation has ever experienced. In addition to providing a set of powerful tools, this book will offer a roadmap to learning: • Common teen myths • Healing traumas • Partnership parenting • Mentorship benefits • Teen brain basics Are you ready? "Do you feel there must be a better way to live with your teenager, but don't know how to start? This book could be just what you need. A powerful call to parents to look directly at young people, listen to where they are coming from and support them to find the life they want to lead. Combining personal experience, neuroscientific research and practical tools, Lainie guides you towards a different way of being with your teen, moving from coercion and manipulation to partnership and connection." ~Dr. Naomi Fisher, Clinical Psychologist and Author of Changing Our Minds: How Children Can Take Control of their Own Learning “Finally.. a book that sees and understands the unique needs of teenagers without all the negative stereotypes. This book is a gem.” ~Christiane Northrup, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of Goddesses Never Age, The Wisdom of Menopause, and Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom "Lainie Liberti provides relief from the fear-based need to control your teen, allowing partnership to replace domination. With a validating voice, she provides tools to heal yourself, such that you don’t have to react to your teen from your pain, but respond from your love." ~Naomi Aldort, Author of Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves; Transforming Parent-Child Relationship from Reaction and Struggle to Freedom, Power and Joy “As a mom of two teenagers, and a longtime admirer of Lainie Liberti’s work, I value her insights on prioritizing connection over coercion in our parenting approach. Seen, Heard & Understood provides the tools and inspiration to build a powerful, peaceful partnership with our teens.” ~Kerry McDonald, Author of Unschooled: Raising Curious, Well-Educated Children Outside the Conventional Classroom “This book is a major contribution to unschooling and homeschooling families and to the movement for reimagining education. It names the proverbial elephant in the room. Unless we as parents heal our own intergenerational trauma and face our fears and anxieties, we risk passing these to our children. Born out of many years of hands-on experience, this book offers very practical tools for how we can enter into partnership parenting and build a genuine learning culture with our teens centered around freedom and accountability. It is a powerful post-Covid roadmap for navigating the inner world of our teens and ourselves as adults. Lainie Liberti has gifted us with the parent’s liberation handbook for our times. ~Manish Jain, Co-Founder of Swaraj University, Learning Societies Network and The Peoples’ Institute for Rethinking Education
