    I help conscious capitalists who feel unfulfilled despite creating a successful and profitable business discover confidence, community and clarity so that they can play their way through an inspiring journey within. 
Without this book these people will continue to feel as though they are: 
Confused about why financial profit and material success are no longer fulfilling experiences 
Frustrated or isolated in their personal journey; and 
Unable to explore the depth of their potential as human beings. 
This makes their life tough because, in the face of abundance of every inner and outer resource, they feel stagnant, unfulfilled and wrong-footed in a journey of deep personal importance. They feel like impostors in a world that used to feel so familiar to them as they. 
Exploring the ideas in this book will support the reader in re-experiencing themself as a spiritual being who is returning to a familiar home rather than a lost traveller scrambling about in a foreign land. It provides guideposts that allow them to reclaim creativity, community and clarity on their own terms, in their own time, and in so doing rediscover curiosity, confidence and calm. Readers will be able to recontextualise familiar experiences that were once shameful, confusing or isolating as the building blocks of a deeper identity that wishes to find loving witness and external expression. Internal expiration will become fun and easy and yield insights that are empowering to the reader and valuable to those they serve.

Andy Reynolds, a concert tour manager and live sound engineer, has answered those questions, and others, in '5 Steps to a Roadie Job'. Andy has worked in the live music business for more than 25 years – '5 Steps to a Roadie Job' is the distillation of his experience and knowledge gained in that time. He has written this audiobook to help you - the road crew of tomorrow -start working for music artists on tour.

    The First Rule of Mastery - Stop...

    High-performance psychologist Michael Gervais presents a groundbreaking guide for overcoming what may be the single greatest constrictor of human potential: our fear of people's opinions (FOPO). 
 
 
 
FOPO shows up almost everywhere in our lives—and the consequences are great. When we let FOPO take control, we play it safe and small because we're afraid of what will happen on the other side of critique. When challenged, we surrender our viewpoint. We trade in authenticity for approval. We please rather than provoke. We chase the dreams of others rather than our own. But it doesn't have to be this way. 
 
 
 
In The First Rule of Mastery, Michael Gervais shows us that the key to leading a high-performance life is to redirect our attention from the world outside us to the world inside us. He reveals the mental skills and practices we need to overcome FOPO—the same skills he's taught to the top performers in the world, including sports MVPs, world-renowned artists and musicians, and Fortune 100 leaders and teams. Filled with fascinating stories from the worlds of sports and business, leading-edge science, and insights from the frontier of human performance, The First Rule of Mastery is a much-needed wake-up call that when we give more value to other people's opinions than we do our own, we live life on their terms, not ours.

    Increasingly, people report feeling overlooked, ignored, and underappreciated at work. Simply put, they don't feel like they matter to their leaders or organizations. This hidden epidemic of insignificance is fueling a mental health crisis, intensifying loneliness, and, for organizations, driving disengagement, turnover, and low performance. 
 
 
 
The good news is that leaders can learn the skills to ensure that everyone around them feels valued. Drawing from hands-on work in hundreds of diverse industries and organizations, researcher and speaker Zach Mercurio reveals how mattering to others is a fundamental requirement for thriving. He introduces a simple yet effective framework for making daily interactions with your people more meaningful: 
 
 
 
● Noticing: the practice of seeing and hearing others 
 
 
 
● Affirming: the practice of showing people how their unique gifts make a difference 
 
 
 
● Needing: the practice of showing people they're relied on 
 
 
 
Filled with practical advice, helpful exercises, and inspiring real-world examples, The Power of Mattering equips leaders at all levels with the tools they need to revitalize their teams—and entire organizations—by showing people that they matter.
