Sinossi

The World Has Changed Enormously. Has Your Leadership?No one will dispute these are turbulent and troubled times, times when “business as usual” no longer seems like a viable attitude. So, just how do you cope with a world that often seems to be spinning out of control — especially when your business is caught up in all the chaos?Now, Ken Schmitt, Founder and CEO of TurningPoint Executive Search, one of America’s leading boutique recruiting firms, pulls back the curtain on the many life-changing challenges he’s faced as a business leader in The Practical Optimist: An Entrepreneurial Journey Through Life's Turning Points to reveal what’s worked for him — and what hasn’t. This frank, funny and revealing book pulls no punches as Ken details the massive challenges he’s faced personally and professionally in his journey to the C-Suite, leading his own company. More importantly, he also breaks down the secrets and strategies he’s discovered to be the most effective in navigating the highs and lows which all businesses experience. And he layers it all with a personal touch that makes his advice relatable and real.You’ll learn what happened after the Great Recession hit, when Schmitt had to tell his staff he had a whopping $200 left in the business account. How he later successfully rebranded and redirected his business, taking it to new heights. How he and his team weathered the unexpected trauma of the pandemic when all their clients disappeared in a matter of weeks — by taking the time to rebuild, refresh and restructure so the company could come back stronger than ever when all the lockdowns ended. You’ll also find out how Schmitt’s father, a serial entrepreneur, sparked his passion for running his own operation — along with the hilarious hiccups he experienced early on in his professional career, working for a series of belligerent and less-than-reliable bosses who drove him out of several business categories until he stumbled onto his true love, recruiting.Challenging the status quo. Transparency. Diversity. Perseverance and resilience. Staying Connected. Allowing yourself to be human. Schmitt makes it personal by taking these well-known leadership topics and exploding some of the myths around them — by providing incisive new perspectives that are both illuminating and instructive.The Practical Optimist: An Entrepreneurial Journey Through Life's Turning Points is the book you need to understand what successful business leadership looks like in the 2020’s.

    Your Time - The Greatest Gift...

    Face it, if you’re human you probably struggle with time management, either most of the time or at least some of it. And it’s not enough to say, “Tomorrow I’ll manage my day better.” Mastering the clock takes forethought and effort—and it starts with a clear understanding of the gift of time in the first place. In Your Time, readers gain perspective on God’s blessing of time, where with each tick of the timer we move closer to eternity. 
    Lending masterly perspective that reads as flowingly as a conversation with a friend, author, businessman, and pastor Daniel W. Evans breaks down what’s really involved in learning to manage and spend our time with intentionality. From issues of time-control, tools to monitor time, setting priorities, investing time, and learning to give the gift of ours, Evans’ message is simple and direct: our earthly time is limited, and only God knows how much of the irreplaceable asset we have left. So we must invest it well! Because if we don’t decide how we’ll spend it, other people will. 
    Learn from the bite-sized wisdom of history’s brightest minds—philosophers, poets, world leaders, evangelists, and entrepreneurs, with a profound sense of its value. As Steve Jobs said, “It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.” 
    In this concise and compelling booklet—one that takes no more than a single sit-down to complete—the reader is invited to consider time from a Scriptural perspective. And they’re shown an easy formula to manage it, what Evans calls “the ABC’s of investing time.” 
    One critical takeaway: time is undoubtedly our greatest asset on planet Earth, a gift created by God. And with a little consideration and planning, we can learn to spend it wisely, give it away generously, and thrive.

    Learn the new state-of-the-art techniques for detecting deception used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Very importantly, you'll also learn how to apply the tools and techniques to detect lies over the phone and in text messages and emails. 
    In addition to defending yourself against deception, we'll also discuss the tools and techniques in this book from the opposite perspective - for those times you need to be an effective liar and guard against having your deception detected by others. 
    We'll also discuss: 
    - Simple signs someone could be lying to you: Body language, verbal indicators, speech patterns, word choice, hand gestures, facial expressions, physiological responses, and much more.  
    - The ways you can question people to trap them in a lie or make their lies blatantly stand out.  
    - The classic 9-step 'Reid Technique' used in most police interrogations so you know not only how to apply it when talking to others, but also how to guard against it and stay out of jail.  
    - The flaws in the polygraph lie detector and how people beat it. 
    - How groups of people trying to deceive you sabotage themselves, and the rest of the group, by unintentionally making common errors that make lies clearly stand out, even when they're standing right next to their friends. 
    People unknowingly reveal much more information than they planned to through their word choice, so we'll also cover the ways you can read between the lines of what was said to learn more than they planned to share. You'll be amazed at what you can learn, and you'll gain significant advantages.  
    You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
