Katharine Hayhoe

How is your book helping others?

United Nations Champion of the Earth, climate scientist, and evangelical Christian Katharine Hayhoe changes the debate on how we can save our future in this nationally bestselling “optimistic view on why collective action is still possible—and how it can be realized” (The New York Times).

In Saving Us, Hayhoe argues that when it comes to changing hearts and minds, facts are only one part of the equation. Called “one of the nation’s most effective communicators on climate change” by The New York Times, Katharine Hayhoe knows how to navigate all sides of the conversation on our changing planet. A Canadian climate scientist living in Texas, she negotiates distrust of data, indifference to imminent threats, and resistance to proposed solutions with ease. Over the past fifteen years Hayhoe has found that the most important thing we can do to address climate change is talk about it—and she wants to teach you how.

The Resilience Plan: A Strategic Approach to Optimizing Your Work Performance and Mental Health

Book Cover Upload
Author:

Marie-Helene Pelletier PhD

How is your book helping others?

Leaders and business professionals handle grueling hours and exceed high expectations. They are undaunted by challenges and embrace opportunities for growth. They assume they are resilient.

But given enough demands, anyone can burn out. This makes logical sense, yet you likely still think it could never be you. You are fabulous and at risk of burning out.

Resilience is not an innate character trait. Whether you’re in a leadership role or working as part of a team, you need to implement strategies that build and nurture resilience. You need a resilience plan.

I draw on experience from my clinical practice and extensive knowledge in therapeutics and business practices to explore how resilience is the best defense against burnout and how everyone can build it in themselves―not with a one-size-fits-all plan but with strategies to help you create a custom plan.

The Middle Matters: A Toolkit for Middle Managers

Book Cover Upload
Author:

Jeff Sigel

How is your book helping others?

Middle management is perhaps the most underappreciated place in the corporate hierarchy. Yet, it’s where most people spend most of their careers. It’s also, arguably, where the most important work happens. No vision or strategy handed down from leaders at the top can come to life in the actions of thousands of employees without passing through the hands of underappreciated middle managers. There’s no way around it.

And yet, most middle managers are promoted into their roles with little guidance or training on how to manage up, lead teams, and influence organizations. Having never done these, managers are left feeling profoundly uncomfortable. This book seeks to close that gap and empower middle leaders with a toolkit of skills that will help them find greater success and satisfaction while driving results for the companies they support.

How is your book helping others?

"This memoir could be used as a textbook to write the stories of one’s life as a legacy for children and grandchildren. Every person needs to read the Secular Humanist 10 Commandments/Committments, this is the blueprint for a principled, happy life, with respect for another with differences embraced. Just what the world needs!" Five Star Review in Amazon
"As an early millennial, the ideas in this book forced me to think about my own life, what I want to be known for, and how I want to be remembered. It encourages living by a set of values, acknowledges that failure is inevitable, and places emphasis on learning and continuous growth and curiosity. I much appreciated the theme of doing good for others and expecting nothing in return. This is the true definition of integrity and should encourage us all to do more and do better, simply because it’s the right thing to do. I look forward to referencing the ideas in this book as I embark on my own journey." Five Star review in Amazon.

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.
