From the #1 award-winning author of Be a Change Agent. The definition of success and personal achievement is not universal as success comes in different shapes and sizes and at different life stages for everyone. For those looking at where they are and where they want to be and wondering how to get there, do not look any further. Using real-life examples, Dr. Dele Ola presents proven, practicable, and timeless principles to guide you on your journey to great achievements, a journey he calls, "the pursuit of personal leadership." Dr. Ola has learned that you can only attract great achievements and make great impacts through a process of personal change and imbibing the culture and discipline of successful people. The world must make room for someone who has discovered, and has the desire and determination, to develop and exploit their gifts, talents, and abilities to establish themselves in what they have determined to be their exact purpose and calling in life. In Pursuit of Personal Leadership, Dr. Ola highlights a missing piece in leadership literature, which is the discovery of one's personal identity. He explains the need for a personal blueprint for success and how to develop your blueprint. Learn how to cultivate the necessary personal leadership attitudes, exploit your creativity, discover and establish your life's work, explore the world of possibilities, and understand the five seasons of personal leadership every successful person experiences. Most importantly, all successful agents of change should understand and embrace the responsibilities of role modeling success and leaving a legacy.Show book

This is not a traditional book about money. It’s a human, psychological, and holistic journey into your relationship with finances – and with yourself. Through stories, reflections, and everyday examples, this book explores how money isn’t just about numbers and budgets, but about identity, values, and self-respect. You’ll follow Maria and Jonas, two individuals on their own paths toward greater financial insight, and along the way, you’ll be invited to rethink your own habits, blind spots, and dreams. The book offers fresh perspectives on everything from financial shame, invisible patterns, and the emotional power of giving, to safety, freedom, and conscious daily choices. Here, your finances becomes a conversation partner – not a judge – and balance is found not only on your bank statement, but in your sense of self. What will you gain from reading it? You’ll develop a new understanding of personal finances – not as a burden, but as a tool for clarity, choice, and deeper meaning. Many readers say they feel richer, lighter, and more grounded after reading – even without earning more money. My Money and Me – We’re Talking Now is your invitation to rebuild your financial life with honesty, rhythm, and respect – from the inside out. Henrik Kruse Master of Theology. Family therapist from the The Kempler Institute. Head of Hejmdal, the Danish Cancer Society's counseling center in Århus, 2002-2019 Initiator of mentor offer for men with cancer.Show book

The author demonstrates how to create more joy for your people at work, in both virtual and in-person environments, as well as how to incorporate joyfulness even in periods of dramatically heightened stress.

In the dialogues and research, listeners will also find: an introduction to "ikigai," a Japanese concept meaning "reason for being"—a framework we can all use to find joy and meaning in our work; an investigation into the link between social justice and joy; a new perspective on how the next generation will view joy at work, the Great Reflection, and the shifting balance of power in work cultures; in-depth discussions about people, purpose, and praise: the three key elements in building a joyful work experience; and a call for more reflective leadership.Show book
