Summary

In 1956 Brian Canfield got his first job at the BC Telephone Company as an apprentice installer. He was just out of high school, only eighteen years old, a local kid born and raised in New Westminster, and he took to this new opportunity like he would to any new opportunity in his career: with passion and wonder and huge commitment. Over a career spanning almost six decades, Canfield rose through the ranks of BC Tel, first in technical roles where he discovered his love for technology and learning how things work, and eventually as a manager and executive, where he found his passion for leadership, strategic planning and mentorship. He became President and CEO in 1990, then Chairman in 1993, and over his twenty-four-year tenure at the helm, he steered the company through a period of massive change in the telecom industry, eventually making the decision to make the company a national carrier.A much-loved, well respected employee, executive and leader, Canfield exemplifies the values that guide modern day TELUS, a company that strives to innovate and give back to the community. Told in a lively and engaging manner, and featuring full colour photographs throughout, Answering the Call is an inspirational look back at one man’s remarkable career.

    The very first question you may ask is why the Internet? Well, let me explain to you why this is the most profitable and hassle-free business in this date and age. First, let me show you several facts and figures to elaborate on the great earning potential of Internet business. Let's look at the advantages of Internet business. Potential Growth in Volume. 
    The Internet has been growing so rapidly that it becomes a primary tool for people to look for information! Simple as it might appear! Some categories of information, such as overweight, male impotence, debt, getting rich, MLM etc., are considered to be so sensitive that people would not discuss with their folks offline. They'd rather go online and search because they know the virtual world will protect their identity and save them from shame. In other words, the Internet is the place for people to look for solutions to their problems. If you know how to target certain groups of people who are willing to spend on those solutions, you've made it! 
    Potential Growth in Value. I want to emphasize that more and more people are spending their money on the Internet. Nielsen reveals that 875 million consumers shop online in 2008 and the trend is increasing rapidly. Now, with the popularity of Internet-connected mobile devices, people can spend money with just a click of a button. According to a study by the University of Oxford, there are more mobile subscribers than toothbrushes. So you can imagine how huge the market is and why you should tap onto this business as soon as possible, before another millions of people come in and make it more difficult to monetize. Flexibility. 
    The Internet business gives you the flexibility in working. You can choose to work anytime of the day, any day of the year, anywhere you prefer, as long as you have a computer and Internet connection. Your online store is your own 24-hour salesman that continuously works for you even when you sleep.

Now produced in Orange, Connecticut, the iconic PEZ brand is available in over eighty countries, selling more than sixty-five million dispensers annually and inspiring collectors and fans worldwide.

    Boring Meetings Suck - Get More...

    Author Jon  Petz, a former corporate executive and current corporate  entertainer who has keynoted meetings for groups ranging from  Wal-Mart to IBM, dares to address the boring elephant in the room:  where most of the millions of meetings held in the U.S. every day  are an unforgiveable waste of time and talent. Whats worse,  many of the books, blogs, and articles on the subject are as boring  as the meetings themselves. In  Boring Meetings Suck, Petz focuses on how attendees can take  charge of meetings that have become a waste of time and talent.  Most books on meetings focus only on the person responsible for  planning and hosting the meeting, but Boring Meetings Suck  dares to admit what other authors avoid. Only when attendees are  empowered to diplomatically speak up and get meetings back on track  will everyone benefit, instead of suffering in silence as an  ineffective chair or host loses control of their  proceedings. It offers dozens of  SRDs  Suckification Reduction Devices  to help  you make your next meeting efficient (get things done right) and  effective (get the right things done). It also  introduces a contrarian notion that meeting hosts should capitalize  on technology use during meetings versus curtail it. Instead of  telling people to turn OFF their digital devices, this book  suggests participants use these devices for instant crowd sourcing,  rapid dissemination of information to those affected by the  decisions and innovative note taking so important information is  not lost.

    Our ability to remake our world is unique among all living things. But where does our creativity come from, how does it work, and how can we harness it to improve our lives, schools, businesses, and institutions? The Runaway Species is a deep-dive into the creative mind, a celebration of the human spirit, and a vision of how we can improve our future by understanding and embracing our ability to innovate. Composer Anthony Brandt and neurologist David Eagleman seek to discover what lies at the heart of humanity's ability-and drive-to create. Examining hundreds of examples of human creativity, Brandt and Eagleman draw out what creative acts have in common and view them through the lens of cutting-edge neuroscience, uncovering the essential elements of this critical human ability and encouraging a more creative future for all of us.
