Download or read book Men s Work written by Connor Beaton and published by Sounds True. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I can unequivocally say that this is the book every man needs.” —Mark Groves, human connection specialist and founder of Create The Love Suck it up. Stuff it down. Pour a bottle of whiskey over the top. Rinse and repeat until sufficiently numbed. This is the step-by-step doctrine men are taught. Men have traded in their internal leadership, sovereignty, and even masculinity for comfort, validation, and an escape from the mundane boardroom of their existence. Where is the modern-day strength training for the hearts and minds of men? In Men’s Work, ManTalks founder Connor Beaton offers the tactical, self-led guide men have been looking for. Here, he destigmatizes inner work by reframing it as a kind of psychological warrior training that many men can relate to and have been craving. Beaton walks you through a framework for facing the hidden and rejected aspects of yourself—factors that lead to self-sabotage, anxiety, and depression. Through real-life stories from men he’s worked with and guidance in practical, accessible exercises, he takes you on a three-part journey to uncover and free yourself from the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that hold you back. When you face off with those pieces in place, that’s when you’ll: • Live with clear purpose and direction • Build your skills to win at relationships • Gain better control of your anger • Learn how to regulate your mind, body, and emotions, even under stress and conflict • Become fearless and at peace with your journey Men’s Work focuses on the unique challenges that men with psychological and emotional wounds so often grapple with—while giving you the tools to heal and return to society in a way that is both empowering personally and beneficial for all. “The goal of this work is not only to become a better man,” says Beaton, “but a better participant in the collective enterprise of living. True freedom awaits.”

Download or read book Who s Got Your Back written by Garold L. Markle and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-02 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a small business and making it larger can pose formidable challenges. The entrepreneur’s dream is to create a product or service so highly desired that customers will form lines at their door, eager to hand them money. The entrepreneur’s nightmare is the same...except that there is no one to answer the door, provide the service, deliver the product, or take the money. In short, growth can be hard and even success can kill you. My friends at Vistage, by most measures, the largest educational institution for small and mid-cap CEOs in the world, describe this inherently risky but highly rewarding journey to reach the top of Entrepreneur Mountain as “a life of climb.” The need to make a small business larger is instinctual, even as the very real dangers in making that ascent are predictable. Like scaling a mountain, there are inevitable challenges, losses, and victories along the upward trail. This business fable is written for those who elect to take this journey, despite the dangers, and to the many more who support it. Who’s Got Your Back? describes the best way I’ve witnessed to climb – with a trusted guide who’s made ascents before, a peer group of noncompeting fellow leaders to question your answers, and some carefully curated experts on topics climbers don’t always know in advance they need to learn from. In short, this business fable is my “love letter to Vistage” and its contemporaries who have successfully shepherded this climb for decades and stand ready to help you be safe and successful on yours. About the Author Garold L. Markle is an award winning speaker, author, management consultant and executive coach who has been helping leaders of small and mid-sized companies ‘speed the pace of significant change’ for more than two decades. His first published work, Catalytic Coaching: The End of the Performance Review, has afforded Gary the opportunity to conduct more than 750 workshops for peer advisory groups throughout the US, Canada and the UK. He was a founding chair of a CEO-level peer advisory group in Atlanta and has also been an active group member. This is Gary’s first foray in writing fiction and he couldn’t have done it without the able assistance of his daughter, Carissa Cassiel, who helped infuse Gary’s imagined characters with depth and personality. Gary is also supported and sustained by his incredibly patient wife, Gail, two more children and a pair of grandkids. Gary and his clan live a quiet but happy life in the North Georgia Mountains.

It is the deconstructed sample, the researched lyrical metaphors, the aha moment on the way to hip-hop enlightenment. Hip-hop permeates our world, and yet it is continually misunderstood. Hip-hop's intersections with Afrofuturism and science fiction provide fascinating touchpoints that enable us to see our todays and tomorrows.

Are you the data thief sailing into the past to U-turn to the now? Or are you the unborn child prepping to build the next universe? No, you're the superhero.
