  Lots of books teach the mechanics of using Facebook, Twitter, and  YouTube. Some explain how to use these and other tools to compete  in business. But no book addresses one of the biggest desires among  18-34 year olds: how to harness the incredible power of the new  social media to make a difference, to do something that  really matters.   The goal of this book is simple: to help you achieve a singular  goal by harnessing social media. To create political change,  the way the Obama campaign did. To foster economic justice by  making micro-loans easily available, the way Kiva has done. To  save the life of a friend diagnosed with cancer. In all these  cases, there is a single, measurable goal. You may not have money  but you have the energy and focus. And you are wondering how  to use social media to achieve your goal--allowing you to do so  more quickly, effectively, and powerfully.  The Dragonfly Effect is what happens when you coordinate four  small activities to produce big results. It's named after the  only insect that is able to move in any direction--with tremendous  speed and force--when its four wings are working in  concert. This book will teach you four key skills, explain how  to coordinate them, and show you how to harness them to the social  media to achieve disproportionate results.  Part I presents the story that led to the Power of Social  Technology class at Stanford, showing all four wings  of The Dragonfly Effect working together. Part II will teach  you each of the four skills. Its illustrated with  examples and includes practical tips from the social  technologists who engineered the Obama campaign, the founders of  Kiva and eBays World of Good, story-tellers from Pixar and  leaders from Facebook, Twitter and Google. Part III is your  Dragonfly Toolkit, which will get you started on using all the most  important social media tools without having to read a whole book  about each of them.  Its got Andys Cheat Sheets,  specifically designed for people who are not at all technically  proficient.  Linked to this book youll find a website where you can  find a community of other readers, like you, who will share their  experiences, tools, and other resources.  It will keep you  updated on new ways to use the power of social technology to  improve the life of just one individual or cultivate social  change.

  Imposter. Liar. Wannabe.Those were the thoughts that hammered what speck of confidence I had left every morning as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Often, I’d watch the woman staring back at me transform into a little girl.“Always be true to yourself, no matter what,” she’d say in a sweet tone, all while oozing an unfathomable yet familiar poise.Familiar, because that girl used to be me. Unfathomable, because somewhere along the line I had turned into a woman unsure of herself. Sure, my life was proof that I had worked incredibly hard, made sacrifices, fought for my place, contributed to the success of others, and that I had become a capable leader among my peers.Yet, there I was: convinced I was a fraud.***As women, we are notoriously self-critical. Ironically, this tendency amplifies when we grow into leadership roles. While we’re great at pouring positive energy into our families and those who look up to us, we’re equally great at doubting ourselves. You’d think, with what we’ve achieved, we’d be a little more confident.She Leads in Her Truth will introduce you to the Seven Cornerstones of Authentic and Confident Female Leadership:Lead with confidence.Lead with your femininity.Lead to motivate and inspire.Lead with emotions.Lead with effective persuasion.Lead while being in your truth.Lead by example.Each Cornerstone has a dedicated chapter in which you’ll find fascinating, science-backed research and strategies you can start using immediately to enhance the way you lead. You’ll also discover how the Cornerstones can unleash the absolute best version of you not only in your career and all aspects of your life.

  Real Estate A Love Story -...

  Real Estate, A Love Story shows the next generation of entrepreneurs how to pursue profit while building a human-centered future for American cities.
  Growing up on New York's Upper West Side in a bustling family of Jewish immigrants, Joshua Benaim discovered the power of place as he learned from his grandfather the art of minimizing risk while pursuing value in the world's toughest business—New York City real estate. And when a chance encounter in a cab led him to study opera, Benaim's time as a touring baritone inspired him to bring the poetry, passion, and historical authenticity of music to the world of business.
  In urban real estate, Benaim sees unique opportunities—the chance for us to follow our dreams, find love, nurture one another, and experience art in the everyday.
  But when Covid-19 disrupted our lives, radically changing the way we use our private and public spaces, he faced a question: Are cities—and the real estate industry that sustains them—obsolete?
  Benaim says no. The city is not dead. It is being reborn.
  Guided by a set of traditional values that prize fairness, honor, beauty, and respect for the communities in which he works, Benaim shares his wisdom through this lyrical story in four parts:
  I. How I Fell in Love with Real Estate
  II. Real Estate Investment and the Handshake Philosophy
  III. The Art of Real Estate Development
  IV: The Future of Real Estate
  An intimate blend of memoir and business strategy, Real Estate, A Love Story is a guide for those shaping their own paths and anyone who believes in human, value-driven enterprise.
