  How can ambitious professionals stand out as future executives?In The Day One Executive, strategic leadership advisor April Armstrong explains how long-term success requires getting results, building mutually beneficial relationships, and cultivating reserves of resilience. It empowers you to hit the ground running in all three of these areas starting on Day One.Early in her career, Armstrong discovered a huge gap between what is taught in school and what it takes to be a successful executive. This book aims to close that gap through insight, research, and stories from more than a dozen top executives who share secrets from the C-suite to help you know:1. Why it pays to move up early;2. How to spot—and seize—a potential “catapult moment,” which can rapidly accelerate your career; and3. Why you must go beyond the job description to custom create your role starting on Day One.Choosing to be an executive is a very specific form of leadership: the stakes, standards, and levels of success are higher. The Day One Executive shares the distinguishing attitudes and behaviors to get noticed and, once recognized, start enjoying better choices, increased financial autonomy and freedom, and greater influence and impact in your career.

The book then dives into more technical topics like basic type annotations, using the TypeScript compiler, advanced features like enums and interfaces, and manipulating types. 
  
  The book then discusses chapters on classes and control flow analysis that are particularly helpful for developers looking to build more complex applications. The book teaches by example, with numerous code examples that illustrate the main concepts and approaches towards writing TypeScript programs and codes, and finishes with a comprehensive practical example that shows step-by-step development of a modern web application using TypeScript and Angular.

  Finding Voice For Authentic...

  Terry Tempest Williams

  Terry takes us on a whirlwind tour of what it means to give voice to our own authenticity. It requires deep listening and fertile silences. She encourages us to speak “Mother Tongue” — speaking from the belly rather than the mind. 
  She laments that in Western culture “the language of economics has power, the language of the law has power, the language of science has power. But an intelligence of the heart, an emotional intelligence, or a poetic sensibility, or even a sensibility that comes from the side, from a different angle, from a different point of view, asks us to form a different kind of shape of conversation.” 
  In this delightfully warm and thoughtful program you’ll be dazzled by the mystery of Terry’s dying mother’s request for her to read her journals, but not until after her death. Terry found 3 shelves of journals only to discover all of them were blank. Puzzle along with Terry as she takes us from the Red Rock Wildlands of Utah to the Plains of Kenya in a far-reaching dialogue about finding one’s authentic voice. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

  How to Make a Killing - Blood...

  Six decades ago, visionary doctors achieved the impossible: the humble kidney, acknowledged since ancient times to be as essential to life as the heart, became the first human organ to be successfully replaced with a machine. Yet huge dialysis corporations, ambitious doctor-entrepreneurs, and Beltway lobbyists soon turned this medical miracle into an early experiment in for-profit medicine—and one of the nation's worst healthcare catastrophes. 
   
   
   
  With powerful insight and on-the-ground reporting, Tom Mueller introduces an unforgettable cast of characters. Heroic patients risk their lives to blow the whistle on how they've been mistreated. An unpaid activist living in a south Georgia trailer park fights to save patients from involuntary discharge from their lifesaving care. Industry insiders put their careers on the line to speak out about the endemic wrongs and pervasive inequality they've witnessed—and about dialysis executives who dress as musketeers and Star Wars characters to exhort their employees to more aggressive profit-seeking. 
   
   
   
  How to Make a Killing reveals dialysis as a microcosm of American medicine and poses a vital challenge: find a way to fix dialysis, and we'll have a fighting chance of fixing our country's dysfunctional healthcare system as a whole, restoring patients, not profits, as its true purpose.
