Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book is a gift to organizations, showing their employees how to achieve win-win-win solutions by being their better selves, being better collaborators and still helping the bottom line. James is a deep thinker with a sophisticated understanding of human nature. A masterpiece!' Russell Lemle, Former Chief Psychologist, San Francisco VA Health Care System Most of us believe that good collaboration depends upon how cooperative our colleagues are. That's a costly mistake, says Grayson James, international collaborative performance consultant, leadership coach, and 6th degree black belt in Aikido. Integrating understandings from organizational leadership, psychology, language action theory, martial arts, and other mind-body disciplines, James gives us an eye-opening view of what really happens when organizational collaboration goes well, and what to do when it doesn't. Through personal insights and stories, this book brings to life the five principles and the three key conversations that enable us to make Full Contact with our colleagues. And the simple practices provided help us recognize the action inherent in every word we speak, the role our body plays, and how our attention determines the success of our collaborative performance. James shows that we ourselves are always where the real action is whenever we're trying to get things done with other people. This is great news, because it means we each have the power to transform our collaborative performance, regardless of our circumstances, no matter who we're working with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE CONFESSION OF A TRUST MAGNATE Picture the combined navies of the world anchored off our seaboard cities, the combined armies of the world in possession of our inland cities, envoys from each nation congregated at Washington partitioning our country, the entire population being apportioned as slaves to do the bidding of the conquerors. Would you be interested? An equally appalling situation confronts the people of this country to-day. Read of it in the following pages. "In this magnificent country of ours there is a growing unrest. Workers complain of hardships in terms of employment and housing accommodations, poverty is attendant upon many, and the cost of living has become oppressive to a large majority of the inhabitants. Formerly affluent people have been compelled to forego their accustomed luxuries and those previously in comfortable circumstances are now forced to practice the most rigid economy to make ends meet. While these conditions exist, it is noticeable that a comparatively few are amassing fabulous fortunes and becoming absolute dictators of the big business affairs and the government of our country." That was written in 1911. It could have as easily been written today -- 2012. Discover the 100+ year-old Big Business Conspiracy that keeps Most of the American Population ---------- that’s YOU and ME, folks ----------- in Economic Bondage to the Extremely Wealthy (even if you happen to consider yourself to be "Rich", too) as a Result of their Hoarding our National Resources and Manipulating our Monetary System . . . AND WHAT YOU CAN DO (even as a little guy) TO STOP THIS OPPRESSION! In 1911, George Allen Yuille broke ranks with his fellow big business moguls and wrote an exposè about money. No. More than an exposè. It was a bearing of his soul and a sincere apology for usurping the power of his fellow citizens through his belief in his Divine Right to control the destiny of others. The honesty and simplicity by which Mr. Yuille pulls back the curtain to teach us about money and expose the hypocrisy practiced in the manipulation and usurpation of our money is truly unsurpassed. It must have caused quite a stir! The Confession of a Trust Magnate (copyright 1911) is a masterful explanation of how money works by George Allen Yuille, a powerful and wealthy man at the beginning of the 20th century. Hopefully, we (the people of 2014) will heed Mr. Yuille's warnings, learn from our mistakes, embrace his solutions, and create a brighter tomorrow. Read The Confession of a Trust Magnate.

The absence of fathers in the lives of their daughters has become an epidemic that has plagued our society and affects many families from all walks of life. Daughters that grow up with a healthy father-and-daughter bond are often less likely to become a teenage mother, experience depression, experiment with drugs and alcohol, develop body image problems and engage in criminal activity.

This Thing Called Love is about a young girl who shares her story about her life and the various hardships that she experienced as a result of living with a father who is physically present but emotionally absent. Bewildered by his rude comments and his continuous expressions of his disapproval of her, she makes conscious efforts to shine in his eyes. In the pursuit of trying to achieve her fathers love, she learns a great deal about Gods love. As her relationship with God matures, her newfound faith ignites her determination to win her father over, not just for her personal gain, but for the benefit of the Kingdom of God.
