The Astonishing Lives of Older Women - How to Create Pleasure Over Peril in Peak Longevity

Moira Welsh

Summary

A powerful exploration of the financial realities women face as they age — and the resilience, reinvention, and relationships that sustain them.
		 
Women are living longer than ever, but for many, those extra years come with financial uncertainty. This book tells the stories of women who, after raising children, managing households, and working in fulfilling careers, find themselves now alone and surviving on the edge.
		 
A national housing crisis hits harder when the gender pension gap leaves women with significantly less retirement income than men, but this crisis isn’t inevitable. A CEO, a legal scholar, and a feminist economist offer essential advice on careers, pensions, and relationships, while the voice of a young writer from Lainey Gossip reveals why financial independence is non-negotiable.
		 
This book looks at how women can embrace this new longevity with strength and purpose. A wake-up call for women of all ages, it is an inspiring testament to the lasting social and economic contributions of women.
		 
The astonishing lives of older women are not defined by money or men. They are defined by resilience, purpose, desire, and the unbreakable bonds of female friendship.

Sentient Strategy - How to...

Alan Weiss

No pre-pandemic strategy is effective anymore. Alan Weiss has developed an original, new approach to strategy which thus far has certified over 100 people globally, delivering this approach to scores of firms of all types in four countries. 
 
 
 
Sentient Strategy is based on two modern dimensions: awareness of the environment in which the organization exists and has influence, and consciousness of the impact of actions being considered. The old SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) approaches are currently equivalent to riding down the freeway on a horse. We must drop the hubris that has led us to believe we can see years ahead and anticipate what's coming. 
 
 
 
It's time to turn volatility and disruption on their heads and use them as offensive weapons in the marketplace instead of trying to protect ourselves from them. Imagine a strategy that an organization can formulate in just a day or so, revisit easily and frequently, and design a series of shorter-term, viable futures. 
 
 
 
Alan Weiss equips the listener to consider using this approach independently. These are new times—a new reality, a "no normal"—hence, it's ridiculous to use old approaches to strategy. There's a clear reason why Sears didn't morph into Amazon and why Hertz surrendered its number one spot to Enterprise.

The 80 20 CEO - Take Command of...

Bill Canady

THE RISK IN LEADING A BUSINESS is the same as in piloting an airplane; namely crashing and burning. But what if you had an operating system to keep your business airborne until you wanted to land it?
How much time would that OS save you?
How much money?
Written by Bill Canady, the creator of the Profitable Growth Operating System, The 80/20 CEO: Take Command of Your Business in 100 Days is a detailed playbook for aspiring or accomplished senior-level executives who want to lead organizations in profitable strategic growth and to do so on demand, on track, on pace, and without surprises.
The reason that 80/20 is so valuable is that it is counterintuitive. We tend to expect that all causes will have roughly the same significance, that all customers are equally valuable, or that every bit of business, every product, and every dollar of sales revenue is as good as another.
The 80/20 Management Practice
Also known as the Pareto principle, 80/20 is a management concept based on a natural law: 80% of results come from 20% of causes. It is a tool used to prioritize and manage resources, focusing on the most important and impactful activities that generate the majority of results. The principle suggests that organizations can achieve significant improvement by focusing their efforts on the 20% of activities that generate 80% of their results, rather than spreading their resources non-strategically across all activities.
