    Invisible leadership is a quiet form of command that does not rely on loud orders or visible authority, but on presence, judgment, and trust. In firefighting and emergency environments, it emerges when teams act with confidence, guided by a leader whose influence is felt rather than seen. Calm becomes a stabilizing force, and restraint turns into strength. This kind of leadership is measured not by visibility, but by cohesion, timing, and the ability to keep the team functional when pressure is at its peak.

    Are you frustrated by your dog’s barking, pulling, lunging, or disobedience—despite training classes, endless advice, and countless “quick fixes”? You’re not alone. Across America, dog behavior is spiraling out of control—and it’s not because dogs have changed. It’s because we have. 
    In this groundbreaking book, dog behavior expert Jackie Eckert delivers a powerful wake-up call: the epidemic of misbehavior fueled by misguided training methods, societal myths, and everyday human habits that unintentionally make dogs worse. This isn’t another obedience manual filled with tricks and drills. It’s a wake-up call and a solution. You’ll finally see why dogs are struggling—and how to break free from the epidemic. 
    Inside, you’ll discover: 
    The hidden epidemic: Why dog misbehavior is skyrocketing across America. 
    The shocking truth about training: Why popular obedience methods often backfire. 
    The human factor: How subtle daily habits are shaping your dog’s struggles. 
    A new path to peace: How to rebuild calm, trust, and cooperation—without gimmicks. 
    A shift in perspective: How to move beyond obedience tricks and uncover the real causes of misbehavior—so you can correct it at the source. 
    Note to Listeners: This book is different. It questions the “accepted wisdom” about dogs and exposes why so many current training methods fail. Some listeners may find that uncomfortable or even controversial—but that’s the point. Real change begins when we challenge assumptions. If you’re ready for clarity, truth, and a lasting path forward with your dog, this book might provide you with the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. 
    PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

    Under the Henfluence - Inside...

    Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
     
     
     
    From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

    The story of a Canadian farm boy and his life’s journey as a bush pilot and then as a bureaucrat, and how he found his way back to his aviation roots. This collection of stories describes the progress of Tim Cole through one half of the history of aviation in Canada.  
    Tim worked as a bush pilot in Northern Quebec and Labrador. As a commuter captain he flew Twin Otters into Montreal’s downtown STOLport, and later flew these float-equipped aircraft on Canada’s West Coast.  
    Working as a Civil Aviation Inspector for Transport Canada he became “The Queen's Bush Pilot in British Columbia.” During his thirty-one-year rise to management levels in the federal Government, he experienced the perils of both the wilderness and the boardroom.  
    An active pilot in retirement, Tim continued to serve the aviation community in BC as a director for the Canadian Owner’s and Pilots Association and the British Columbia Aviaton Council.  
    Take a peek into the inner workings of Transport Canada in its heyday, when it was not only a regulator but also when it operated the air navigation system, air traffic services and most of the airports in Canada.
