Janet M. Harvey

How is your book helping others?

Janet M. Harvey, the CEO of the innovative human development company inviteCHANGE, has trained global Fortune 500 leaders for nearly 30 years. She’s done so successfully using the innovative vehicle of Generative Change. As Harvey writes, she wants to “make your head hurt.” And indeed this book does just that as the Generative Change Journey to Generative Wholeness is now made available to a wider audience. It’s all about giving up your “expected identity” and harnessing the tension that results – so that “all of you” is brought to the fore. The book begins with “making it yours” (reflection as active process; fearless use of intuition); moves to Generative Wholeness (trust the unknown; “notice” to build resilience); pulling back for perspective; leadership dilemmas (be alert to autopilot mindset; be curious versus reactive).
And tension as a deliberate tool for solutions and judgment as one for inspiring wonder.
This important book is life- and business-changing.

The Kindness Games: How a Single Post Changed Our Mindset About Community

How is your book helping others?

What if we ferociously pursued shout outs of kindness instead of shouting to be right? What if we chased down the people we know are hurting, so we can lift them up to the world for how beautiful and amazing they are?
The Kindness Games (TKG) was started as a movement amongst security professionals to shout out people in their sphere who’d influenced or helped them during their career. The founders of TKG quickly realized that any industry would benefit from a structured way to build kindness into their culture, so what began as a social media trend has quickly grown into a global movement of gratitude and compassion. Authors Lee Oughton and Tim Wenzel share how to play The Kindness Game in your own professional network and help people unite their spheres of influence, heal their communities, and change the world by leading with kindness. You’ll also read inspiring stories from the original TKG players about how this simple concept of kindness impacted their professional lives.
