Book excerpt: Rejected. Banished. Packless. Alone. When the love of my life rejects me, I'm desperate to escape the wilds. Even if it means fleeing to the human cities. Shifters grow up hearing horror stories of how humans treat us as nothing more than easy sport; beasts to taunt and kill. It's a truth passed down through generations, and we're taught to stay away, to keep to our kind. But if being rejected by my mate has taught me anything, it's that people lie, and I need to discover the truth of the world for myself. When I catch the eye of two shifters, I gain a couple of sexy, though unwanted, stalkers. They follow me to the cities where nothing goes as planned, and I end up in a horror story of my own until a stranger comes to my rescue. All of this is more than I bargained for, and three men? Hello, complicated. I may have lost my pack, but maybe I had to be a lone wolf to realize I have the power to build my own.

Book excerpt: Despite the progress we have made, women are still faced with discrimination and bias in the workplace every day. The only way to prove our capabilities is to be a great leader! According to the Harvard Business Review, women were rated as more effective leaders than men. Furthermore, out of the 19 leadership competencies, women rated significantly higher in 13 areas. This isn't just in leadership roles that are considered traditionally female. The same difference was seen across different functions including IT, research & development, and manufacturing. So why is it that only 26% of CEOs and managing directors are female? And the bigger question is, why is it that women earn over $40,000 less per year than men who have earned the same qualification? There is no doubt that women have more challenges when it comes to leadership roles. These challenges are hard to overcome, but it's gender bias that causes the biggest problems. Women are either seen as dainty, proper ladies who are too quiet to lead or as the other extreme - bossy, aggressive, and unladylike. Consequently, while women have the qualifications and skills required for a leadership role, it's still the men who are more likely to be offered opportunities. Now, we can talk for days about the glass ceiling and how unfair the gender gap is, without really achieving anything... Or we can do something about it. This book will give you the tools and skills you need to excel as a leader and show others how effective women can be. Inside, here is just a fraction of what you will discover: Exactly why the world needs more female leaders and what is holding women back 14 leadership styles and how to discover the best one that fits your personality The real reasons why women fear leadership and 4 ways to calm the anxiety How to overcome imposter syndrome and break the cycle of self-doubt 7 hard skills that you can gain today to demonstrate your leadership qualifications 10 steps to boost communication and 3 bonus steps to make sure you are getting your point across How you can increase your income just by increasing your emotional intelligence The benefits of diversity for all companies- and it's not just about women!

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.
Download or read book Reservations Recommended trade paperback written by Eric Kraft and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-06 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Leroy constructs a plausible adult life for his grade school chum Matthew Barber, now living in Boston, where he is vice-president of a toy company by day, but becomes Bertram W. Beath, restaurant reviewer, when the sun goes down. Reservations Recommended is a satire of the critical mind; a dark commentary on contemporary culture; a story of midlife crisis; a morality play; and a book that matches bleakness against humor, seasoned throughout with B. W. Beath's hilariously acid reviews. We watch as Matthew Barber descends from a self-protective superiority into a species of madness, and into the dark night of the soul. "A brilliant satire." LA Life "A merciless sendup of contemporary American pretensions.' Janice Harayda, Cleveland Plain Dealer "Wonderfully readable . . . touching and intelligent." Richard Gehr, The Village Voice

Yet, Sage is connected to Caspian, and the two begin a relationship that could lead toward only destruction. --- Sage gasped as he pressed against her. She didn’t answer his question. His hands wandered to her hips, squeezing tightly. Caspian searched her eyes before dipping his head to kiss her neck. “Were you searching for me?” His voice heated her from the inside out. Sage sighed into him as his lips trailed down to her collarbone. She turned her head to give him better access to her throat. Sage didn’t know how to answer him. She hadn’t been searching for him, yet she found him. --- The Alpha's Witch is created by Amara Nelson, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
Download or read book Sherbrookes written by Nicholas Delbanco and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-25 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now finally collected into a single volume, the Sherbrookes trilogy—Possession, Sherbrookes, and Stillness—is Nicholas Delbanco's most celebrated achievement. Centering upon one New England clan and their estate in southwestern Vermont—a full thousand acres, including the bleak and chilly Big House, from which the volatile Sherbrookes have such trouble escaping—these books form a virtuoso portrait of the love, pride, resentment, and even madness we inherit from our families. Written in his characteristically opulent, bravura prose, Delbanco is here revealed as a Henry James for our time: a passionate cataloger of human strength and frailty. Edited and revised by the author some thirty years after its first publication, the trilogy—“made new” as the single-volume Sherbrookes—can now be rediscovered by a new generation of readers.

Book excerpt: Have you wandered from the life you want to live? Chrystal Evans Hurst shares raw and vulnerable stories from her own life to let you know how you too can find your way back after a few missteps. Over 100,000 copies sold! What happens when a woman looks at herself in the mirror, lingering just a little longer than usual and realizes that she no longer recognizes the person staring back at her? What does she do when she sees that, somehow, her life has drifted away from all her original hopes, dreams, or plans? Speaker, blogger, and writer Chrystal Evans Hurst wrote this book because she was that woman. One day she realized that she had somehow wandered from the life she was meant to live. Chrystal since discovered that this moment of awareness happens to lots of women at different seasons of their lives. Poor decisions, a lack of intentionality or planning, or a long-term denial of deep hopes and dreams can leave a woman, old or young, reeling from the realization that she is lost, disappointed, or simply numb. And she just needs encouragement. This woman simply needs someone to hold her hand, cheer her on, and believe with her that she is still capable of being the person she intended to be. Chrystal uses her poignant story of an early and unexpected pregnancy, as well as other raw and vulnerable moments in her life, to let readers know she understands what it's like to try and find your way after some missteps or decisions you didn't plan on. In She's Still There Chrystal emphasizes the importance of the personal process and the beauty of authentically sharing your journey one girlfriend to another. It’s a book of "me toos," reminders of the hoped for, and challenges for the path ahead--to find direction, purpose, and true satisfaction. Also available: She's Still There DVD series and study guide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate advocate for women of color shares her personal story as well as interviews with female changemakers across the globe. Vasudha Sharma immigrated to the United States to find better opportunities. She soon discovered what the glass ceiling looks like in one of the world’s most advanced nations.

But how long will it take for a major impact to finally shatter it? In Why She Must Lead, Vasudha draws on inspiration and interviews with women around the world to envision how issues like the pay gap, broken rungs, and lack of mentorship can be filtered out systematically, and how workplaces can uplift the most underrepresented group of women.

Why She Must Lead will help women: • Analyze reports related to the leadership gap for minority women • Understand the causes for a leaky talent pipeline • Create personalized approaches to eliminating barriers and bias • Deepen their insight about how to minimize the leadership gap • Rise as a leader to champion equity goals for themselves or their organization

A woman’s field guide to the new frontier of professional development—working with other women Women-to-women relationships in the workplace are . . . complicated. When they’re good, they’re great.
