Self Less - Lessons Learned from A Life Devoted to Servant Leadership in Five Acts

Len Jessup

Summary

One night, following a painful divorce, Len Jessup hit what he calls the “the lowest moment” of his life. He would go on to credit this moment as the start of his journey to selflessness. In Self Less, you’ll follow Len’s story of emotional vulnerability. Blending personal narrative with research, Jessup argues selfless leaders can maximize impact by guiding teams, not controlling them. He stresses the power of constant learning, surrounding yourself with people far smarter than you, and service to others. For leaders seeking to create meaningful change through personal growth, Jessup provides inspiration along with practical advice on inclusive leadership and securing stakeholder buy-in. Self Less offers a roadmap to lead change through humility, kindness, and care for employees and partners.

How to Rehearse in Order to Give...

Dr. Jim Anderson

Every time we are asked to give a speech, we feel a sense of nervous energy flow through our body. We think "I hope that this turns out well." We would give anything to be able to control the future and make this our best speech ever. Well, I've got some good news for you: you are in control and you can make that happen.

What You'll Find Inside:
HOW TO USE YOUR MENTAL TV TO MEMORIZE A SPEECH (OR ANYTHING)
PRESENTATION PRACTICE: HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
LIGHTS, CAMERA, TV PRESENTATION? 4 TIPS FOR SPEAKING ON TELEVISION
YOUR PRESENTATION VOICE: IS THAT REALLY ME?

The secret to delivering a great speech is to know how to rehearse your speech. The reason that so many of us don't bother with rehearsing our speeches is for the simple fact that it takes time – who ever has enough of that?

The sad truth is that just how effective our next speech is lies in our own hands. Take the time to not only rehearse your speech, but rehearse it the correct way and then when it's time to give your speech, you'll be ready.

A big part of why we rehearse our speeches is because we want to remember what we're going to be saying. There are a lot of different ways to go about doing this – some easy, some hard. I think that I've discovered a way that will make this task easy for every speaker.

Not every speech is the same. When we are asked to speak on Television, as more and more of us are, the rules are very different. As long as we know what the rules are, we can come away from this opportunity having been very successful.

Rehearsing your speech consists of so much more than just repeating your speech over and over again. Each rehearsal gives you an opportunity to work on your acting skills, your voice, and how you build the sentences that you'll be using in your speech.

In this book all of the secrets to getting the most out of the time that you spend rehearsing for your speech will be shared. We'll cover how to memorize your speech, how to deliver it, and how you can control what you sound like. After you have read this book, you'll be able to rehearse for you next speech knowing that your time is being spent wisely.

Trading For A Social Or...

IntelligentHQ.com

A social enterprise is a business that trades for a social and/or environmental purpose.

Social enterprises generally have a remit to do good in some way by solving a social or environmental problem. These organisations typically know who they are trying to help and why. One difference between social enterprises and charities is that these are organisations that aim to meet their needs for income through vending products and services. They will often not look for grants and donations to keep going. That said, they may use grants to get underway at the outset, or may look for alternative sources of financing such as debt finance (loans), equity finance or community finance. The founder of social enterprises generally launches them with a view to making a difference in the area targeted.

Logistics in World War II 1939–1943

John Norris

A history of the Second World War with a focus on supply, transport, and other crucial operations—includes photos.   Logistics, though less dramatic or glamorous than other aspects of war, nevertheless play a decisive role in the outcome of campaigns and battles. This book focuses on the role of logistics in World War II, marshaling some astounding facts and figures to convey the sheer scale of the task all belligerents faced to equip vast forces and supply them in the field.   Military historian John Norris also draws on firsthand accounts to illustrate what this meant for the men and women in the logistics chain and those depending on it at the sharp end. Many of the vehicles, from supply trucks to pack mules, and other relevant hardware are discussed and illustrated with numerous photographs. Numerous topics are covered—for example, how Hitler’s panzer divisions were kept rolling in the Blitzkrieg (a German division in 1940 still had around five thousand horses, requiring hundreds of tons of fodder) and the British army’s disastrous loss of equipment at Dunkirk. This is a fascinating and valuable study of a neglected aspect of World War II.
