  Observers tell us that we will have many jobs and possibly several careers during our lifetimes.  But there is very little practical help available for professionals on how to move between jobs and careers. 
  This audiobook takes the listener through a comprehensive process that will help them to prepare for job search, identify job opportunities, and then maximize their chance of success. 
  The author has worked with over 1,000 senior executives as a career coach.  So, his advice is practical and it is supported by real stories of successes and setbacks. 
  Most people are not aware of the life skills required to manage successful transitions between jobs.  They tend work on their cv and then to make up their own approach to moving forward.   
  They often aim too low.  They do not understand how to prepare properly.  It is not uncommon for them to fail to reach their potential.   When their approach does not work out they blame themselves.    
  It does not need to be this way.  This audiobook increases the possibility of success in your transition process and then in your subsequent career. 
  The original book was written for mid-career professionals.   But the process it describes is relevant for individuals at any stage on their career, from graduation to retirement. 
  This audiobook has four parts: 
  1.    Understanding the basics 
  2.    Building on your strengths 
  3.    Growing the power of your network 
  4.    Finding the right job.

  Magic. Mayhem. Soap. 
  Fine, then. Let's put this soap to good use. And what better use than to re-visit my old schoolmates and see what they've been up to. And maybe some will be up for some soapy, soapy lesbian love. I'll provide the toys, of course. Not gonna show up empty handed, right?  
  And so in the fourth part of Soap Magic, this trip down memory lane is paved with sweet, sticky lesbian juices, less sweet, but still sticky anal probing and quite possibly more than two lesbians at one time, if I was counting correctly. Which I may not have. Look, things got heated, is all I'm sayin'.

  The Radical Potter - The Life...

  From one of Britain's leading historians and the director of the Victoria & Albert Museum, a scintillating biography of Josiah Wedgwood, the celebrated eighteenth-century potter, entrepreneur, and abolitionist 
   
   
   
  Wedgwood's pottery, such as his celebrated light-blue jasperware, is famous worldwide. Jane Austen bought it and wrote of it in her novels; Empress Catherine II of Russia ordered hundreds of pieces for her palace. But the life of Josiah Wedgwood is far richer than just his accomplishments in ceramics. He was a leader of the Industrial Revolution, a pioneering businessman, a cultural tastemaker, and a tireless scientific experimenter whose inventions made him a fellow of the Royal Society. He was also an ardent abolitionist, whose Emancipation Badge medallion—depicting an enslaved African and inscribed "Am I Not a Man and a Brother?"—became the most popular symbol of the antislavery movement on both sides of the Atlantic. And he did it all in the face of chronic disability and relentless pain: a childhood bout with smallpox eventually led to the amputation of his right leg. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on a rich array of letters, journals, and historical documents, The Radical Potter brings us the story of a singular man, his dazzling contributions to design and innovation, and his remarkable global impact.
