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.

    Learn how to take the right risks for lasting success. Begin Boldly provides a framework for making the kind of bold moves that will get your career off to its best start! 
     
    Have you ever shied away from taking a risk? Maybe you didn't apply for a job because you didn't meet 100 percent of the requirements or passed up the opportunity to take on a challenging role because you didn't feel ready.  
     
    If you can relate, you are not alone. Despite recognizing the benefits of making bold moves, most women-especially those early in their careers-struggle to harness the power of risk-taking. Begin Boldly changes that. 
     
    Christie Hunter Arscott equips readers to intelligently take risks using an actionable model built around three mindsets: a curious mindset, a courageous mindset, and an agile mindset. With a step-by-step method for taking risks, assessing rewards, and refining approaches, she gives women a flexible and repeatable framework to help them develop this critical career skill. 
     
    Begin Boldly inspires women to take chances on themselves and turns risk-taking into an enlightening and empowering antidote for self-doubt. As Christie reminds us, the biggest risk for women is not taking any risks at all.

    An informed argument for an economic policy based on bridges of preparation and adaptation rather than walls of protection and exclusionFree-market economists often have noted that there are winners and losers in a competitive capitalist world. The question of how to deal with the difficult real-life consequences faced by the losers, however, has largely been ignored. Populist politicians have tried repeatedly to address the issue by creating walls—of both the physical and economic kinds—to insulate communities and keep competition at bay. While recognizing the broad emotional appeal of walls, economist Glenn Hubbard argues that because they delay needed adaptations to the ever-changing world, walls are essentially backward-looking and ultimately destined to fail. Taking Adam Smith's logic to Youngstown, Ohio, as a case study in economic disruption, Hubbard promotes the benefits of an open economy and creating bridges to support people in turbulent times so that they remain engaged and prepared to participate in, and reap the rewards of, a new economic landscape.

    Video Marketing Lead: Essential Guide for Beginners on Video Marketing and Social Media, Discover the Secrets to Using Videos to Reach Massive AudienceVideo content has been proven to be the most effective of the majority of other forms of online content. When watching a video, customers are more likely to remember the video than they are to remember written content or an image, for example. Because of this, marketing videos tend to have a much bigger impact on potential new customers as opposed to a marketing banner, for example.Video can be an extremely powerful medium when it comes to connecting with and communicating with your audience. Many businesses have found that the use of video allows them to better present their brand ‘voice’ and image in a way that customers will be able to relate to personally.One of the most popular types of video content is marketing content, where you will come up with a short movie that convinces customers to express interest in your brand. Some marketing videos may focus on the brand as a whole, whilst others may focus on a particular product or service. You may use actors, animations, or something else in order to put together a marketing video.Every business which has an online presence should use video content in some form or another. With video now being more and more accessible, even the smallest of businesses with the tightest of budgets can afford to use video content to some extent, even if it is just Snapchat stories or Facebook Live videos.If you’re not yet using video content for your marketing strategy, you should definitely change things starting now because even the smallest of businesses are benefiting from it now.

    "To conquer both business and life, unwavering resilience and unyielding mental fortitude are essential. Stéph & Shay epitomize sheer resilience, effortlessly embracing change, fearlessly seizing risks, and swiftly taking action—the quintessential traits of the world's triumphant and indomitable achievers." —Darren Hardy, CEO Mentor & New York Times Bestselling Author"The only thing standing between where you are now and the life you are longing for is your own mind. In their debut book, Stéph & Shay share their proven strategies that will unlock the chains that bind you. What a remarkable and captivating read!" —Dianna Kokoszka, Author & Former CEO of Keller Williams MAPS CoachingThis book is for you if you want to:● Have laser-sharp focus every single day.● Get through stress and overwhelm with ease.● Align your Principles, Passion & Purpose (3 Ps).● 10X your productivity, 10X your wealth, and 10X your life.● Improve your health, your wealth, and your overall success.● Achieve your Big Effing Goals even amidst the most uncertain times.MOST PEOPLE STRUGGLE IN LIFE—AND IT'S NOT WHY YOU THINK. WHY DO THEY STRUGGLE?This is what Wall Street Journal Bestselling Authors Stéphane & Shalee Schafeitel (aka Stéph & Shay) embarked on a mission to discover during a 12-year research project studying the thought patterns and behaviors of the most resilient and successful people in the world.What they found was eye-opening. All of the common assumptions and explanations, such as the availability of resources, financial stability, and support networks, were wrong.Whether people struggle or succeed was not due to external factors nearly as much as internal factors. It wasn't about one's material circumstances—it was about their mental toughness and emotional resilience. The hidden and often neglected inner battles an individual faces turn out to be the crucial determinant in whether they flounder or flourish.BUT THIS DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR REALITY.Master Your Mindpower will equip you with the mental and emotional armor you need to triumph over adversity. It will alert you (of impending self-doubt, fear, and the self-defeating conditioning of your past), inoculate you (from the societal pressures, stressors, and emotional turmoil), and guide you (as you forge those under-nurtured skills of mental toughness and emotional resilience) safely away from the pitfalls that lead most people to struggle.READ THIS BOOK . . . AND GET READY TO MASTER YOUR MINDPOWER!

    Humans have a natural instinct to help others.Imagine walking up to a stranger on the subway and asking them for their seat. What about asking a random person on the street if you could borrow their phone? If the idea makes you squeamish, you're not alone—social psychologists have found that doing these very things makes most of us almost unbearably uncomfortable.But here's the funny thing: even though we hate to ask for help, most people are wired to be helpful. And that's a good thing, because every day in the modern, uber-collaborative workplace, we all need to know when and how to call in the cavalry.However, asking people for help isn't intuitive; in fact, a lot of our instincts are wrong. As a result, we do a poor job of calling in the reinforcements we need, leaving confused or even offended colleagues in our wake.This pragmatic book explains how to get it right. With humor, insight, and engaging storytelling, Heidi Grant, PhD, describes how to elicit helpful behavior from your friends, family, and colleagues—in a way that leaves them feeling genuinely happy to lend a hand.
