Who Gets It?!: How To Find, Motivate and Retain Top Talentby Dan and Eric Hoffend

Who Gets It?! How to Find, Motivate, and Retain Top Talent.

Never underestimate the power of customer service, or the importance of creating a company culture in which policy aligns with logic. If employees don’t see the value in your company, customers won’t either. This is why the right attitude, approach, and communication strategies are essential for a successful business. Those who “get it” already understand this.

We think of “getting it” as a philosophy, a strategy, a management technique, and a wellness lifestyle that can help motivate all stakeholders in a company.

Based on our extensive experience in the events industry, we’ve identified five categories that we’ve seen the members of our teams fall into every time without fail. We’ve seen this in every other type of business as well. At the top are those who get it, and those who are energized. The bulk are in the middle or the comfort zone, and at the bottom are those who don’t care or who just don’t get it.

Our method starts with identifying the top performers who “get it.” You can then use the strategies in this book to build a stronger company culture around their efforts, while also motivating others. This book steps you through how to identify employees in every category and also provides suggestions for how to energize or “jump” them up to the next level of engagement. Most importantly, you will learn how to attract top talent, as well as how to keep them engaged, motivated, and dedicated to your company.

My Last Love Affairby Ali Parker

You won’t want to miss their story, filled with ups, downs, love, lust and lots of sexy times. This is a must read. — Amazon Reviewer

Get Married. Have a child. These are the only two rules to get my inheritance.

Neither of which I want. My billionaire life doesn’t play well with either idea.

But no one asked me. My father’s company is up for grabs, and whichever of my brothers makes it to the finish line first wins.

In no time, I’ve found the perfect woman to play my fake fiancée while I figure things out.

Beautiful. Smart. Strong.

Everything I crave in a relationship and more.

But there’s a problem. She’s got a past I can’t ignore.

Not with just anyone.

With my younger brother.

To top it all off, she gets pregnant.

And the one person she doesn’t tell?

Me.

Recovery from Complex PTSD: From Trauma to Regaining Self Through Mindfulness & Emotional Regulation Exercises; Helping Overcome Anger, Anxiety & Depressionby Don Barlow

Are you suffering from chronic anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or uncontrollable emotions?

Although PTSD affects 7-8% of people in the world, it remains a relatively taboo subject. When people do talk about it, it’s usually restricted to war veterans and victims of child abuse.

The truth is, PTSD can manifest in response to any kind of trauma — but what does this mean for people who have been repeatedly subjected to traumatic events?

Recent research has shown that it is possible to recover from nightmarish experiences and live a life that feels happy and secure.

You don’t have to resign yourself to jumping at shadows and enduring intrusive, negative thoughts that wear you down mentally and physically.

By taking the steps to understand why you’re experiencing these things, you can begin to unlock the strength you have within you.

Instead of struggling to find a sense of worth, you can rewrite the script and engage with yourself compassionately. It can be so easy to judge yourself harshly, but you have to remember this:

When you are cruel to yourself, you are inadvertently cruel to the innocent child within you.

You may have spent years seeking compassion and validation from others and finding only frustration and despair.

However, that doesn’t mean you’re beyond help. Recovery from complex trauma is a long journey, but the rewards you’ll reap along the way will keep you moving forward.

In Recovery from Complex PTSD, you will discover:

• What Complex PTSD is and how it differs from the more commonly known PTSD
• How to rewrite the narrative of your life to overcome negative self-concept and regain control over your life
• The Loop of Traumatization: how your brain creates a survival-based narrative that dictates your thoughts and behaviors
• How understanding the causes of complex trauma can allow you to overcome the fear and pain that accompany distressing experiences
• What it means when you consistently experience disturbed interpersonal relationships
• The avoidance techniques you are unconsciously employing in your daily life that protect you but are also keeping you stagnant
• How you can build an accurate sense of self that isn’t formed by the events from your past

And much more.

You know what helplessness feels like. The paralysis of panic, the loss of control. What it’s time for you to learn, is that these feelings aren’t forever.

You are capable of transforming the way you experience life and in turn, change the lives of the people who care about you most.

Windfall: A Henry Lysyk Mysteryby Byron TD Smith

Henry has hit rock bottom. A fifty-year old mystery could save him – or finish him off.

“…a masterful work of mystery, drama, and criminally good writing.” (K.C. Finn, ReadersFavorite.com)

Henry Lysyk’s life is a mess.

With his marriage over and his accounting career marred by scandal, he retreats to the anonymity of a rented suite in a house shared with strangers. But the trail of a decades-old crime leads a murderous treasure hunter to his doorstep, and Henry is baffled by his neighbors’ cover-up.

An unexpected visit from his adventure-hungry niece, Frieda, further complicates Henry’s efforts to lay low. With his houseguest refusing to stay away from the danger, Henry’s terrified they’re about to expose secrets someone would kill to protect. Not knowing who to trust, they must choose which parts of the past to uncover, and which to leave buried.

A real-life ransom, a shadowy past, unlikely allies, and ruthless murder. Can Henry unravel this cold case before he and Frieda become its next victims?

If you enjoy absorbing mysteries, original characters, and a dash of true crime, then you’ll love Byron TD Smith’s clever “What if…” solution to the most captivating unsolved heist of the twentieth century. 

Windfall is the first instalment in the Henry Lysyk Mystery series. 

Time Warriorsby Amy Jarecki

What if it were up to three teen ninjas to save the world?

Recruited into the exclusive and highly secretive Military Academy of Martial Arts, sixteen-year-old Genesis Mans relishes the challenge, even after upperclassman and super jock, Noah Jones, tries to convince her to quit. Yeah, he may be the best fighter in school, but he’s totally wrong about her. His warning makes the girl fight harder to succeed, to uncover secrets first years aren’t allowed to know. She’s curious, she’s smart, and her developing second sight leads to peril beyond her imagination–straight through an off-limits time warp–with Noah and mastermind, Amir, in her wake.

Genesis soon learns she’s not on a joyride. Only a chosen few can travel through time and they have no idea where in history they’re headed. All they have to rely on is their God-given talent, elite training, knowledge of the past and, most of all, their will to win. The Qiang are meddling with the past and if they’re not stopped, tomorrow may never come.

Landing in 1215 London, these highly trained ninjas must cast their differences aside and work together to find the enemy and prevent them from altering time. And there’s nothing like fighting for their lives to transform a heated rivalry into an indestructible bond. But this mission is no date-night sparring match. It’s as real as it is deadly.
