Coming About - How We Transformed a Major Media Company and the Lessons There for You

David Paragamian

Summary

Enacting meaningful change requires more than sending out a memo with new policies. Change that matters — change that really makes a lasting difference — starts with a change in culture. David Paragamian is an expert in organizational transformation, as he has helped companies, departments, and teams pivot. In Coming About, David describes the steps you need to become a successful “storyteller-in-chief” — a confident change agent who convincingly leads transformation rooted in transparency and values. This book is the culmination of everything David has learned. He knows that change takes grit and determination; it demands the ability to get back up after you’ve been knocked down. If you’ve got that kind of grit — and you want to enact real organizational transformation, not just superficial change — this book is for you.

Spark the Heart: Engineering Empathy in Your Organization

How to leverage the benefits of empathy to get the results you want

There’s no place for empathy in business was a belief Dr. Price, a logical, results-focused engineer held onto tightly, until a cascade of life-altering events provided her a new perspective. A perspective that recognized empathy as a critical skill that every leader must develop and employ to achieve success. Dr. Price’s empathetic leadership journey has been a multi-year process, one that continues today, and one that she willingly shares with you — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

In Spark the Heart: Engineering Empathy in Your Organization, Dr. Price dispels common empathy myths:

False: Empathy is a trait that you’re born with or notTrue: Everyone can develop the skill of empathy.False: Empathy requires you to take on the other person’s beliefs and values.True: Empathy is understanding why another person believes what they believe and values what they value, even if it’s different from your own.False: Empathy means you don’t have accountability, high expectations, or stretch goals.True: Empathy can fuel expectations and aspirations in new ways. Empathy and accountability can and should exist in tandem.

And provides clear actionable steps for you to take to begin your own empathy journey or bolster your existing empathy practice.

For leaders ready to bridge the gap of misunderstanding between themselves and those they choose to lead and to leverage that understanding for greater success, look no further. Dr. Price is here to guide the way.

Innovative Insurance - How to...

Shawn Woedl

Have you noticed that fix - and flip television shows seem to be on every television in America lately? They’re on at banks, hotel lobbies, airports, and even buses. And why have they risen so dramatically in popularity over the last few years? Television has made real estate investing seem like the easiest way to make money. If you can swing a hammer, you can flip a house. Right? Well, it probably goes without saying that it’s a lot more complicated than that. Truth is, most real estate investors fail the first time out. Think about it. If every fix-and-flip project went smoothly, it wouldn’t make for very interesting television. These investments fail for various reasons, of course, but a substantial portion of them fail when things inevitably go haywire, and the investor is not able to financially recover from the loss. This is the book that every real estate investor wishes they had read before they bought that insurance policy that didn’t cover their property adequately. It is the book that could have saved hundreds, thousands, and even millions of dollars for property owners when they were sued for something they didn’t realize they could be sued for. It is also the book that those television shows don’t tell you about because insurance isn’t sexy enough for TV. But “Innovative Insurance” is full of tips, hints, and practical advice that can save you stress and allow you to sleep well at night. Whether you own a hundred rental properties and just need to tweak your policy to make it suit your portfolio best, or you recently inherited your grandparents 1940’s cottage, you will find information that can help you navigate the ever-shifting sands of insurance. Topics include: Why we have insurance and what it’s supposed to do Types of insurance forms Difference between soft and hard markets Common types of investors and investing goals Appetite for risk Lender requirements and hints for success Factors that affect insurance ratesCommon terms such as ACV, RC, coinsurance, umbrellasFactors that affect your property deductible choiceExclusions and gapsLiability Special circumstances that affect insurabilityThe goal of this book is to arm readers with the knowledge they need to ask the right questions, make the right decisions, and cover their assets in the best possible way for their unique situation and goals. Sure, maybe insurance isn’t sexy, but being made whole after a catastrophe or avoiding a million-dollar lawsuit certainly has its appeal. Wouldn’t you agree?

Cultural Intelligence in the...

MBA Stephan M. Branch

If you are a CEO, global leader, or part of a global organization, you can revolutionize every part of your business by raising your cultural intelligence. Cultural Intelligence in the 21st Century explores nine crucial cultural competencies that will transform every part of your business, including: how you drive inclusion, revenue, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG); how you lead global teams for better results; how you increase sales and operational performance; how you communicate across cultures; and how you build relationships and trust in other countries. 
 
 
 
The "S" in ESG isn't only about social equity; it's about understanding the importance of how other countries conduct business. Did you know you can solve both at the same time while having a transformative financial impact on your organization? How can you build a globally inclusive culture in an organization where everyone feels seen, heard, and respected if you don’t understand how cultures communicate, build relationships and trust, and show respect differently? You can learn the cultural competencies to do business in other countries in order to create a more inclusive environment within a global organization, which qualifies as a metric within the ESG rating. Cultural Intelligence in the 21st Century gives you the competencies you need to do this.
