Title: Ethics in Finance: Case Studies from a Woman's Life on Wall Street
Published: 2021
How this book is helping:
I wrote these cases as a way to help young finance professionals, the future of the industry, to build a more ethical and socially responsible financial industry. Many of these young people will work in international finance across diverse financial fields. To that end, this book is international in scope and covers a broad segment of the financial services industry.
The book provides ethics guidance to finance practitioners, policy makers, and regulators by assuring them human beings are morally educable. I try to do this through engaging stories. The case studies form a narrative chain that represents a woman's journey through her finance career, inspired by Homer's Odysseus and his twenty years of travels after the Trojan Wars. Each case study starts with a story. Following the narrative, I highlight the prominent ethics issues in the case. For example, in Chapter 6 the ethics issue is quite clear: should a person engage in insider trading?

Title: Untapped Talent: How Second Chance Hiring Works for Your Business and the Community
Published: 2021
How this book is helping:
"Untapped Talent" encourages and supports the employment of people who have been marginalized from society and the workforce-- those whose past mistakes led to a criminal record. It is helping employers find needed workers in a labor shortage, and through employment helps people with criminal records rebuild their lives, benefiting their families and their communities. Since publication, the book has been highlighted by the Business Roundtable (through the Second Chance Business Coalition), the National Association of Manufacturers, the Aspen Institute, SHRM, numerous Chambers of Commerce and other business organizations, all of whom have given me opportunities to share the findings of the book with employers. This has helped many employers start implementing second chance hiring. Universities are using it to teach future leaders about the opportunity to hire people who have been overlooked. NOTE: the only PDF allowed by my publisher (attached) is a watermarked pre-release version.

Title: Get Out of Your Head, It’s a Mess in There!: 101 Simple Aphorisms for Better Thinking and Living
Published: 2022
How this book is helping:
Rick Carson, acclaimed author of Taming Your Gremlin, had the following to say about my book in his forward..

“Savor this book. There is more here than first meets the eye. While it can be a quick and enjoyable read, I suggest an experiential approach. Perhaps select one teaching each morning as your personal growth theme of the day. Keep it in your foreground as you move from one circumstance to the next. Live it. Practice it. Experience it. This material is worth integrating into your being. Art has done a beautiful job of providing us a set of guiding principles for a life well lived. I know you will enjoy and benefit from them all.... Live them!”

My book highlights 101 aphorisms for better thinking and living. Writing it prompted me to explore great ideas already embedded in our life experience, age old sayings that are so prevalent that we often take them for granted without fully appreciating their relevance or weight.

Aphorisms are like cave paintings, they tell our story.

Title: Gods in Shackles: What Elephants Can Teach Us About Empathy, Resilience, and Freedom
Published: 2022
How this book is helping:
What happens to elephants in India has repercussions around the world, so Sangita's mission to protect them is imperative! Elephants' enormous bodies are literally designed to be natural climate mitigators . As we've seen this summer with floods, wildfires and soaring temperatures across the globe, climate change has no borders, so what happens to elephants in India and Africa reverberates and impacts other countries at a devastating pace. Protecting elephants and their habitat protects the biodiversity that is essential to combating climate change. Since money makes the world go round, it's important to highlight that even the International Monetary Fund acknowledges elephants’ contribution, noting that each elephant is responsible for sequestering carbon worth more than $1.75 million in its lifetime. Elephant extinction would only exacerbate climate change. Sangita's message also speaks to other women yearning to become free of their own shackles.

Title: 40 Thieves on Saipan
Published: 2020
How this book is helping:
In today’s individualistic culture, the strength of forty individuals bonded into one team is a valuable story. Tachovsky demanded that each man have the back of any other man. There was no room for prejudice. Training required ruthless hand-to-hand fighting to combat a brutal enemy. Witnessing atrocities and watching buddies die raised ordinary men to extraordinary heroes. The bond of embracing common goals changed everything. Stepping outside one’s own circle can raise the value of one’s life. These are timeless lessons lost in a competitive world.

A handful of the Thieves did not come home and many who did come home were not successful in rejoining the society they had fought to defend. The U.S. does not always value its veterans, but this book does. Families of the 40 Thieves have pride in their father’s heroics. The story neither sugar-coats, nor glorifies, the reality of war. A true lesson

Title: The Captivating Public Speaker: Engage, Impact, and Inspire Your Audience Every Time
Published: 2022
How this book is helping:
I believe that everyone should be able to confidently share their knowledge and experience in a manner that resonates and serves their audiences. However, too often, people stand in front of others and merely talk about their topics, leaving audiences disengaged. But when people know how to captivate their audiences and positively affect them, everyone wins — the audiences because they get what they wanted and needed from the talk; the speakers because they fulfilled their responsibilities. My book helps them accomplish this.
