Art of Caring Leadership Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

If your people know you care about them, they will move mountains. Employee engagement and loyalty expert Heather Younger outlines nine ways to manifest the radical power of caring support in the workplace.Heather Younger argues that if you are looking for increased productivity, customer satisfaction, or employee engagement, you need to care for your employees first. People will go the extra mile for leaders who show they are genuinely concerned not just with what employees can do but with who they are and can become. But while most leaders think of themselves as caring leaders, not all demonstrate that care in consistent ways. Your employees will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. Based on Younger's interviews with over eighty leaders for her podcast Leadership with Heart--including Howard Behar, former president of the Starbucks Coffee Company; Judith Scimone, senior vice president and chief talent officer at MetLife; Garry Ridge, CEO and chairman of the board of the WD-40 Company; and Shawnté Cox Holland, head of culture and engagement at Vanguard--this book outlines nine ways that leaders can make all employees feel included and cared for. She even provides access to a self-assessment so you can measure your progress as a caring leader. But this is not a cookie-cutter approach: just as Monet and Picasso expressed themselves very differently, each leader should express caring in his or her own unique, personal style. Younger takes an often nebulous, subjective concept and makes it concrete and actionable. Leaders have the power to change the lives of those they lead. They shouldn't just want to care, they should see caring as imperative for the success of their employees and their organization.

Normal Gets You Nowhere HarperCollins Publishers Inc

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

When Kelly Cutrone's first book, "If You Have to Cry, Go Outside", was first published, young people flocked to this new voice. It quickly became a "New York Times" bestseller, and fashion publicist Kelly Cutrone became more than a personality, she became a beloved guru, mentor, and fairy godmother. I know you don't feel normal, so why are you trying to act it and prove to everyone you are? Cutrone says. So much of what we say or don't say, and what we do or don't do, is dictated by what others have told us, or what people may think of us. This is not how we should be living - by measuring ourselves against the mundane. An invitation to rethink who you are, what you value, and what you want from life, "Normal Gets You Nowhere" goes beyond how to reinvent yourself and create your own brand, and begins to investigate what it means to live in this world as a tuned in, caring individual with a passion for making a difference.

Spalona Żywcem Wyd. Kieszonkowe - Souad

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Finding Chika HarperCollins

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

"Mitch Albom has done it again with this moving memoir of love and loss. You can't help but fall for Chika. A page-turner that will no doubt become a classic." --Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club and The Art of MemoirFrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tuesdays With Morrie comes Mitch Albom's most personal story to date: an intimate and heartwarming memoir about what it means to be a family and the young Haitian orphan whose short life would forever change his heart. Chika Jeune was born three days before the devastating earthquake that decimated Haiti in 2010. She spent her infancy in a landscape of extreme poverty, and when her mother died giving birth to a baby brother, Chika was brought to The Have Faith Haiti Orphanage that Albom operates in Port Au Prince. With no children of their own, the forty-plus children who live, play, and go to school at the orphanage have become family to Mitch and his wife, Janine. Chika's arrival makes a quick impression. Brave and self-assured, even as a three-year-old, she delights the other kids and teachers. But at age five, Chika is suddenly diagnosed with something a doctor there says, "No one in Haiti can help you with." Mitch and Janine bring Chika to Detroit, hopeful that American medical care can soon return her to her homeland. Instead, Chika becomes a permanent part of their household, and their lives, as they embark on a two-year, around-the-world journey to find a cure. As Chika's boundless optimism and humor teach Mitch the joys of caring for a child, he learns that a relationship built on love, no matter what blows it takes, can never be lost. Told in hindsight, and through illuminating conversations with Chika herself, this is Albom at his most poignant and vulnerable. Finding Chika is a celebration of a girl, her adoptive guardians, and the incredible bond they formed-a devastatingly beautiful portrait of what it means to be a family, regardless of how it is made.

Way of the Projectionist Independently Published

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Escape the prison without wallsA very perceptive joker once said: the only real difference between people is the size of their cages. What he meant, is that humanity is now in a cage, and that this cage imprisons us as individuals to the extent that we have the knowledge, and the personal power to fight against its binding forces. This cage is so well hidden and designed that most either don't know that they are in it, or even care to know about their current imprisonment at all.But this lack of awareness or desire for freedom has a price as most things do, and that price is that the large majority of people will live and die within the boundaries of a three-dimensional prison, a prison without walls, never knowing just how much potential they have; that indeed we are all incredibly magical creatures that can even learn to fly free across the infinite cosmos.Alchemists are people who have awakened to the fact this prison without walls exists, and they have dedicated their lives to escaping it. Their work, their doing, has for the most part been kept a secret from the majority of the human world, with only small portions of this knowledge escaping into the mainstream in the form of riddles, cryptic images, arcane formulas, and hit and miss techniques and methodologies.In this second course book in the trilogy, dedicated to the Alchemical road to immortality, I reveal the way of the projectionist, and the SECRET FORMULA that can allow you to break free from the unseen prison that binds you and most of humanity. This hidden knowledge, along with step-by-step techniques are revealed to you as I show you how to move through the Rooms of the Projectionist.THE REAL KEY TO astral travel, lucid dreams, out of body experiences and ALL altered states of consciousness.Here you will find the TRIUNE FORMULA that can allow you to leave behind the physical body, and break free of the corporeal prison in order to do and see everything that you have ever desired.In this course book you will discover:This second part of the trilogy, that started with The Magnum Opus, reveals the truth about the human condition and how to continue the journey towards eventual immortality, a journey that takes you, as a powerful practicing projectionist, on an unmeasurable road past incalculable pleasures and truly alien and awesome vistas beyond all rational understanding.Some have asked why each course is presented as a book. Why not make a video course or some other digital presentation that is more popular in this era? And the reason for this is quite simply: time.I have been around long enough, and my senses have become keen enough to see some of the intricacies of this world. Through such experience and perceptions, I have seen things peak and wane, and I have seen many things lost within the medium of time.Videos and digital formats require complex systems to work and be maintained, and such complex systems are usually the first to fall, or change when exposed to the brutal torrents and extreme pressures of time.But a print book, especially a Hrdcover book with the longest shelf-life, is something that you can keep in your personal library for a lifetime with only moderate care.What the prison without walls is all aboutHow to discover and free the hidden self, the True SelfHow to project your consciousness beyond your bodyHow to induce altered states of consciousness without ritual, subterfuge, or drugsHow to discover any secret, go anywhere, and travel through endless dimensionsHow to overcome and bind any situation to your power using the art of CubingHow to achieve true enlightenment and unite the inner and outer aspects of the complete individualityThe truth about how an Alchemist, as a projectionist, attains immortality...and how you can start this journey yourself!

Na szczęście to Żyd - Erica Lehrer

Książki & Multimedia > Książki

Opis - Dziś figurek ,,Żydów na szczęście" jest w Polsce więcej niż polskich Żydów. Wraz z wejściem kraju na drogę kapitalizmu, figurki i obrazki ukazujące Żydów trzymających pieniądze rozpowszechniły się nad Wisłą. Talizmany te zawisły w domach i stanęły przy kasach sklepowych i restauracyjnych w całym kraju. Czy mają pozytywny czy negatywny wydźwięk? Dzielą Żydów i Polaków czy ich łączą? Czy są to suweniry, czy może talizmany, czy wreszcie zabawki? Duchy Holokaustu czy też patroni polskiego kapitalizmu? Analizując, co figurki oznaczają dla ich twórców oraz odbiorców, Na szczęście to Żyd oferuje prowokacyjne spojrzenie na miejsce Żydów w świadomości współczesnych Polaków.
