Download or read book The Not So Good The Bad and The Downright Ugly written by Dr. Joey Beeson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures stories from leaders from various business sectors. In a lighthearted way, through exploring five bad leadership characters, and at times in some heavyhearted ways, this book effectually draws upon history, Scripture, and personal experiences to provide insights into what to avoid or not do if you want to be a great leader. Most leaders have ample opportunities for training to learn and, with the addition of experience, to tell and guide them on what it means to be a good leader. Plenty of excellent books, articles, studies, and videos have been published on how to be a good, effective leader. But what about learning from our experiences of what NOT to do to be an effective, good leader? What if leaders were to consider and value the stories of what to avoid, what not to do, how not to be hated, and how not to destroy a team or organization? Readers of this book will realize they have likely experienced what is captured in its pages, either in part or whole. Take heart. You are not alone in what you have experienced, and rather than engage in a comparison game of whether you have experienced worse situations, this book focuses on learning opportunities from leadership principles and stories. Experience can be a great teacher, even when it is a negative experience. If nothing else, we understand what not to do. Or, when we observe or experience someone in leadership do something destructive, we say and commit to practice that “I will never do that when I lead.”
Download or read book 70s Dinner Party written by Anna Pallai and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spaghetti in aspic, anyone? Revel in astonishing dishes from yesteryear: Stuffed Cocktail Grapes, Savoury Sausage Salad, a spunky Shrimp-Salmon Mould and so much more. Anna Pallai was brought up on 1970s stalwarts of stuffed peppers, meatloaf and platters of slightly greying hardboiled eggs. When she rediscovered her mother's grease-stained 70s cookbooks, she knew she needed to share them with the world, and so the hit Twitter account @70s_Party was born. Harking back to a simpler pre-Instagram, pre-clean-eating era, when the only concern for your dinner party was whether your aspic would set in time, this is a joyful celebration of food that can give you gout just by looking at it. Covering all the essentials, from starters through to desserts, dinner party etiquette (just how does one start to eat a swan fashioned from a hardboiled egg?) and the dreaded 'foreign' food, there's no potato-fashioned-as-a-stone left unturned.

Download or read book Be the One You Need written by Sophia A. Nelson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From acclaimed journalist Sophia A. Nelson, the bestselling author of The Woman Code, comes a poignant, powerful, and revealing memoir providing life lessons that emphasize the importance of self-care, self-love, and self-understanding that will lead to freedom, healing from the past, and a better future. Sophia A. Nelson is a highly accomplished woman. Yet following a bout with Covid-19, caretaking for a sick parent during the pandemic, running a business, and being a mainstay on national television as a political pundit and legal analyst on CNN, MSNBC, the BBC, and Sirius XM, she realized that she was struggling internally even as she maintained her breakneck schedule. Like so many others, as an adult child of an alcoholic Nelson struggled with self-love and knowing her value despite her successes. As she came to learn, it was when she stopped feeling guilty and neglecting herself emotionally and started understanding the importance of self-care and nurturance that she found the freedom to truly live and thrive. Her message, Be the One You Need, reveals lessons illuminating for readers that the answers we seek are always within us. Nelson's call does not mean we do not need other people--quite to the contrary--but that our first love and our priority must be to self. Good emotional health. Good physical health. Good spiritual health. Good relational health. The earlier we can figure this out and take care of these basic needs--love, connection, faith, and success--the better chance we have of a balanced, fulfilled life. In this thought-provoking book--at times sobering yet also uplifting and encouraging--Nelson speaks to readers from all walks of life: young people just starting out; those at mid-life trying to wrestle with what she calls "your second life"; and readers in their later years who still have time to forgive themselves and seek forgiveness where needed. Her purpose in this book is to encourage men and women alike to practice meaningful self-contemplation, self-care, and self-love. This book is for anyone who is still fighting demons from their childhood. For anyone who has been hurt too many times to count. For anyone who desperately wants a roadmap to break free from toxic family ties. Or simply for those who need to be reminded that until you take care of yourself first, you will have little to nothing of yourself to give to others. As the old saying goes: It's never too late to have a life, and it's never too late to change one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What we expect, all too often, is exactly what we get. Nowhere is this more true than in education, where teachers' expectations of students are crucial. The self-fulfilling prophecy should be of great interest to teachers, both those in training and those in service. Whether or not a teacher is aware of it, the self-fulfilling prophecy is at work, impacting students either to their benefit or their detriment. It follows that teachers should be made aware of the SFP and how it can be used effectively in education. Using the new on-line research facilities, Dr. Tauber has compiled over 700 doctoral dissertations and countless journal articles on stereotyping, perception of social differences, race, gender, ethnicity, body features, age, socioeconomic levels, special needs, and other personal and situational factors. The last part of the book presents a collection of testimonials written from the viewpoint of practitioners.

The truth is that we often avoid such conversations in order not to offend others or appear "intolerant." But in doing so, we miss out on opportunities to influence others' views and make a real difference in the world.

Drawing on his years of experience as a teacher of apologetics and ethics, Chamberlain leads us through the maze of obstacles we often encounter when trying to discuss moral matters. Combining keen insight with practical wisdom, he squarely confronts the reality of our culture's moral relativism, notions about "tolerance," fascination with new technologies and other challenges to moral discourse. Through helpful illustrations and sample conversations, he uncovers the real issues that lie behind these obstacles, and he offers practical strategies for getting past them without "getting ugly."
