Download or read book Hearts Touched with Fire written by David Gergen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This instant New York Times bestseller is an “inspiring and useful” (The Washington Post) guide to the art of leadership from David Gergen—former White House adviser to four US presidents, CNN analyst, and founder of the Harvard Center for Public Leadership. As nations careen from one crisis to the next, there is a growing cry for fresh leadership. Those in charge have relatedly fallen short, and trust in institutions have plummeted. So, what does great leadership look like? And how are great leaders made? David Gergen, a leader in the public arena for more than half a century, draws from his experiences as a White House adviser to four presidents, his decades as a trusted voice on national issues, and years of teaching and mentoring young people to offer a stirring playbook for the next generation of change-makers. To uncover the fundamental elements of effective leadership, Gergen traves the journeys of iconic leaders past and present, from pathbreakers like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, John McCain, and Harvey Milk to historic icons like Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, to contemporary game changers like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students, and the Black Lives Matter movement. Leadership is a journey that starts from within, Gergen writes. A leader must become self-aware and then achieve self-mastery. You cannot lead others until you can lead yourself. As you start to leap into the world, you begin your outer journey, overcoming setbacks, persuading others, empowering them, and navigating crises—armed with a sense of history, humor, passion, and purpose. By linking lessons of the past with the ever-changing practice of leadership today, Gergen reveals the time-tested secrets of dynamic leadership. A “clarion call for lives dedicated to service and leadership” (Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize­–winning author of Leadership), Hearts Touched with Fire distills experience and wisdom of the past into an invaluable guide for leaders of our future.

Download or read book Tattoos on the Heart written by Greg Boyle and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you fight despair and learn to meet the world with a loving heart? How do you overcome shame? Stay faithful in spite of failure? No matter where people live or what their circumstances may be, everyone needs boundless, restorative love. Gorgeous and uplifting, Tattoos on the Heart amply demonstrates the impact unconditional love can have on your life. As a pastor working in a neighborhood with the highest concentration of murderous gang activity in Los Angeles, Gregory Boyle created an organization to provide jobs, job training, and encouragement so that young people could work together and learn the mutual respect that comes from collaboration. Tattoos on the Heart is a breathtaking series of parables distilled from his twenty years in the barrio. Arranged by theme and filled with sparkling humor and glowing generosity, these essays offer a stirring look at how full our lives could be if we could find the joy in loving others and in being loved unconditionally. From giant, tattooed Cesar, shopping at JCPenney fresh out of prison, we learn how to feel worthy of God’s love. From ten-year-old Lula we learn the importance of being known and acknowledged. From Pedro we understand the kind of patience necessary to rescue someone from the darkness. In each chapter we benefit from Boyle’s wonderful, hard-earned wisdom. Inspired by faith but applicable to anyone trying to be good, these personal, unflinching stories are full of surprising revelations and observations of the community in which Boyle works and of the many lives he has helped save. Erudite, down-to-earth, and utterly heartening, these essays about universal kinship and redemption are moving examples of the power of unconditional love in difficult times and the importance of fighting despair. With Gregory Boyle’s guidance, we can recognize our own wounds in the broken lives and daunting struggles of the men and women in these parables and learn to find joy in all of the people around us. Tattoos on the Heart reminds us that no life is less valuable than another.

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.

Book excerpt: Betty Huizenga, author and founder of Apples of Gold, says “Mentoring is really nurturing—sharing ideas from life lessons and passing on wisdom, ideas, and truth from God from one generation to the next. It is a forgotten art—one that we have neglected and, in the process, we have lost the joy and sheer fun of days gone by.” At the heart of Apples of Gold is the desire to touch the lives of women, young and old, by reviving the art of older women nurturing younger women. In Gifts of Gold, Betty encourages and instructs the wonderful ‘golden women’ who have answered God’s call to be mentors. Wondering if you were meant to mentor? Answer these questions for yourself: • Can you be a friend? • Can you listen? • Can you share what Christ has done in your life? • Do you care about the needs of other women? • Do you have a tender heart toward God and others? THEN YOU CAN BE A NURTURING WOMAN! Nurturing others is much like passing on a priceless heirloom. Your life and the lessons God has taught you were meant to be shared—preserved and passed on from generation to generation. You are a precious gift of gold God wants to unwrap and show to others. You can be a mentor—Gifts of Gold can help you get started!

Download or read book Tiny Heroes Big Heart written by AQEEL AHMED and published by AQEEL AHMED. This book was released on 2024-03-17 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary In the strange Whispering Woods, in the middle of a lovely meadow, the tiny but active Minikins start an amazing adventure that starts with a simple act of kindness. Their lives change drastically when they meet Tom, a huge man who is disabled because of something bad that happened. The Minikins form a group because they care deeply about others and want to help those in need. This sets the stage for a journey that shows how powerful teamwork can be and how endless the human heart can be. The Minikins get around the problems that come up when they try to help someone who is much bigger than them by being creative, brave, and working together. To keep Tom safe from the weather, they build a shelter and go food hunting to get his health back. Some of the problems they face on their trip are having to go through a thick forest to get supplies and a strong storm that could slow them down. Still, the Minikins' determination gets stronger as they face and overcome each challenge, showing how strong they are and how important it is to work together. Their journey comes to an end when they start looking for the famous Healing Flower. This search takes them through a land they don't know. During the journey, they form partnerships with other forest dwellers like the Owlens, Beewingles, and Whispering Rabbits. Each brings their own special skills to the group's overall goal. These new friends broaden the Minikins' horizons and teach them important lessons about working together, accepting differences, and making friends from all walks of life. Once Tom is better and has said thank you, there is a party to honor the lessons learned, the friendships made, and the wins won. This shows that the Minikins think any act of kindness is important, no matter how small. Tom and the Minikins have both been permanently changed by what they have been through together. As he leaves, he promises to take their legacy with him. This story takes place in the magical Whispering Woods and is a colorful tale of bravery, kindness, and a strong sense of community. It's a lesson that everyone, no matter how big or small, has the power to make a huge difference, and that real greatness often comes in small packages. When the Minikins show up, they show that our deeds, not our size, make us heroes, even though they are very small but have big hearts. Chapter 1: What They Found The Minikins were a unique group of small people who lived deep in the Whispering Woods, among the tall trees. They were in charge of this huge, green area that went on forever. These little people, who were no bigger than a grasshopper, had the bravest and nicest attitudes. In order to keep curious people from seeing their homes, the Minikins hid them under soft grass and between the roots of old trees. A group of Minikin kids were playing hide-and-seek in the field next to their forest home on a sunny morning as the trees woke up to the sound of birds singing and soft leaves rustling. As they played, something strange caught their attention. They were laughing and having a good time. A tall man was lying in the grass. He was huge, much bigger than any Minikin they had ever seen. He had long arms and legs and a soft face, but he didn't move. As the Minikin kids got closer, interest mixed with fear, and worry showed on their little faces. The tall ones had been told about, but they had never seen one like this. The kids' short legs helped them move quickly through the bushes on their way back to their village. The finding got a lot of attention, and Minikins of all ages got together to talk about what they should do. The wise old people understood they couldn't leave the tall guy when he needed help after hearing the kids' story. The Minikins thought that all living things, no matter how big or small, should be helped, even if they were strangers. The Minikins came together to save the day. They knew the job would be hard because they were small and the tall ones' world was big and often risky. Their hearts were big, though, and they were brave because they cared about others and had a strong sense of what was right. They went into the meadow with nothing but their willpower and the tools they could take. The tall grass there made them look like green giants. As they got closer, they paid more attention to the tall figure. It looked like he was sleeping because his chest moved up and down with each breath. The Minikins talked among themselves to figure out the best way to help. They knew that they wouldn't be able to move him because of his size. But they could keep him warm, dry, and safe from the weather until he woke up. The little people in Whispering Woods swore they would help the tall man, and their hearts were as big as the field they were standing in. They were set on finding a way, but they didn't know how they were going to do it. It was the start of an unexpected relationship that would teach them how important it is to be brave, how strong it is to stick together, and how giving can actually get you through hard times. The Minikins, despite their small size, were about to go on an amazing adventure that showed even the smallest heroes can make a big difference. Chapter 2: A Plan is Being Made As soon as the Minikins agreed to help the big guy, whom they called Tom, they knew they had to work together and come up with a plan. All the Minikins, from the tiniest sprout to the biggest oak, got together under the old trees that looked like they were whispering. This was the center of their secret society. Their little voices were full of thoughts and worries about their new friend. The Minikins had minds and hearts as big as the Whispering Woods, even though they were small. The crowd fell silent when the village's wise and experienced elders asked everyone to be quiet. They talked about how important it is to be kind and how strong it is to work together. The Minikins finally decided on two main goals: getting Tom food to make him stronger again and making him a shelter to keep him safe from the weather and wild animals. These people knew that they could still be nice to Tom even though they couldn't talk to him. First, they had to build a place to stay. The Minikins knew exactly what to do because they were skilled artists and builders. They split up into groups and gave each group a specific task to do. They used vines to hold things together, leaves as big as sails, and wood as strong as beams to gather materials. Others started the careful process of weaving leaves and wood together to make a strong cover that would keep out the weather. The Minikin designers did a great job with it because it was big enough to protect Tom from the sun and rain and well-designed enough to blend in with the field. After that, they focused on getting food. The Minikins were happy in the woods and fields. They knew where to get the best fruits, nuts, and berries. However, it wasn't easy for the monster to find food. A great many Minikins had to work very hard and nonstop to get enough food. Fruits, nuts, and seeds were passed from one small hand to the next as they made their way back to Tom's shelter. They also found a big leaf that they used as a temporary plate and fed Tom a meal fit for a king of that rank. Over the course of the night, the Minikins worked until they were done, lit only by fireflies. As they took a step back to enjoy their work, they were filled with pride and hope. They had joined forces and used their individual skills and energies to help achieve a shared goal. By showing that they were ready and able to help Tom, even though they were different sizes, they earned his trust and friendship.
