    One insight or one piece of advice at the right time can change everything. If your goal is to grow as a high-level leader, you’ll find this book packed with “hacks” that can permanently change the way you think, live, and lead. For instance: •                The secret of the “swizzle”—using divergent thinking to apply your ideas, experience, and skills in new ways. •                How three circles can help you know when to keep your cool and when to (productively) lose it. •                Why Pete Carroll made the right call—even though it cost the Seahawks the Superbowl—and how that can transform the way you think about failure today.  •                Worth-the-price-of-admission hiring and recruitment hacks, including which “little things” you must pay attention to and which ones you should ignore. •                Twenty “play calls”—strategies, tools, mindsets, and tricks for becoming the kind of leader you want to be.  After years of aggressive self-improvement, C-Suite Executive and ICF-Certified coach Emily Sander has distilled all her insights from a decade and a half of leadership and coaching experience into this short, easy-to-read book.

    Survival strategies for communicating in a notification-saturated worldAs our ability to pay attention in a world of distractions vanishes, it's no wonder that our ability to be heard and understood—to convey our messages—is also threatened. Whether working with our teams and customers or communicating with our families and friends, it is increasingly difficult to break through the digital devices that get in the way of communication. And the ubiquity of digital devices means that we are often "multicommunicating," participating in multiple conversations at once. As a result, our ability to be socially present with an audience requires an intentional approach.This increased strain on attention has never been more clear than during the global pandemic, when our homes suddenly accommodated both work and family life. What are our options when facing professional communications at all hours? Do we ask for the technology to be put away at the dinner table? Establish other ground rules? What about using digital communications to our advantage—how can we facilitate information-sharing in the midst of a world where we are overwhelmed with content?
