  The Sponsor Effect - How to Be a...

  Many people know the benefit of finding a sponsor—someone who goes beyond traditional mentorship to partner with a junior-level employee to help build their skills, advocate for them when opportunities arise, and open doors. But few realize that being a sponsor is just as important to career growth as finding one.According to new research from economist and thought leader Sylvia Ann Hewlett, senior executives who sponsor rising talent are 53 percent more likely to be promoted than those who don't. Similarly, middle-level managers who have proteges are 167 percent more likely to be given stretch assignments. Well-chosen proteges contribute stellar performance, steadfast loyalty, and capabilities that you, the sponsor, may lack, thus increasing how fast and how far you can go. But how do you find standout proteges, let alone develop them so that they're able to come through for you and your organization?This book has the answers you need. Combining powerful new data and rich examples drawn from in-depth interviews with leaders from companies such as Unilever, Aetna, Blizzard Entertainment, and EY, The Sponsor Effect provides a seven-step playbook for how you can become a successful sponsor.

  Property Quadrants - The Passive...

  Property Quadrants It is a concept I was inspired to create in relation to property investing after reading Robert Kiyosaki’s “Why the rich are getting richer” book that explains his cash flow quadrants. Property Quadrants examines the four ways that real estate investing works and takes the reader through real life stories of how I have helped people turn their lives around using the formulas outlined in the quadrants. The real life examples also list all the numbers on passive income portfolios and explain how to get there. 
  My inspiration is around shedding the shackles of stress and struggle. I have made millions, lost millions and had to start all over again with nothing. My path back to making millions after experiencing the struggle of loss, has inspired me to write this book in order to show people how to secure their financial future through real estate. 
  The way I see it is that property is either your biggest cost making you cash poor or your biggest asset making your cash rich. Property Quadrants shows how anyone, no matter where they are starting from, can use property to become cash rich and help others do the same. 
  Quadrants one and two explain cash poor property, how making an emotional purchase means that you have to pay your mortgage or mortgages out of your wages. Effectively this leads the majority of people to being cash poor and living a life of struggle. That is why 80% of investors only have one investment property. 
  Quadrants three and four explain cash rich property. Quadrant 3 demonstrates how to work with property to make active income. As well as lump sums of cash to buy the lifestyle you want and get the deposit for investment property. 
  Quadrant four outlines my formula to buy passive income property. Once you have passive income, you secure your future as you no longer rely on a job and you can pay your family home off quicker and buy those quadrant two properties without draining your pockets.

  Selling Beauty - Cosmetics...

  Morag Martin

  An “enjoyable” history of the French cosmetic industry and the evolution of beauty standards and commercial culture during a revolutionary era (European History Quarterly). 
   
  As the French citizenry rebelled against the excesses of the aristocracy, there was a parallel shift in consumer beauty practices. Powdered wigs, alabaster white skin, and rouged cheeks disappeared in favor of a more natural and simple style. 
   
  Selling Beauty challenges expectations about past fashions and offers a unique look into consumer culture and business practices. Morag Martin introduces readers to the social and economic world of cosmetic production and consumption, recounts criticisms against the use of cosmetics from a variety of voices, and examines how producers and retailers responded to quickly evolving fashions. 
   
  Martin shows that the survival of the industry depended on its ability to find customers among the emerging working and middle classes. But the newfound popularity of cosmetics raised serious questions. Critics—from radical philosophes to medical professionals—complained that the use of cosmetics was a threat to social morals and questioned the healthfulness of products that contained arsenic, mercury, and lead. Cosmetic producers embraced these withering criticisms, though, skillfully addressing these concerns in their marketing campaigns, reassuring consumers of the moral and physical safety of their products. 
   
  Rather than disappearing along with the Old Regime, the commerce of cosmetics, reimagined and redefined, flourished in the early nineteenth century—as political ideals and Enlightenment philosophies radically altered popular sentiment.
