In a light similar to the best selling books, Tuesdays with Morrieand Who Moved My Cheese, "Pillow Talk Consciousness: Intimate Reflections on America's 100 Most Interesting Thoughts and Suspicions"alsoshines and conveys a sobering yet captivating story. "Pillow Talk Consciousness" is a story about the social and political discourse which frames the lives and conversations of Americans today. The story revolves around the daily thoughts and suspicions of an average American couple at this nexus of the 21st Century. The story's format is designed to draw the reader into an unsuspecting mindset of self-reflection. True to the adage "we are what we think", the book --- in its totality --- paints a vibrant picture of American life based on unusually candid adult dialogues. Upon reflecting on the book's 100 topics and dialogues, the reader comes away with an amazingly holistic sense of the complexity and variety of the thought that frames American life and American conversation today --- thought that undoubtedly has set the stage for America's ultra-polarized social and political climate. The book's prologue, through an insightful view of two naturally fascinating qualities (pillow talk and human consciousness), "sets the table" for the reader to fully enjoy the dialogues that convey an increasingly revealing narrative of life in America. The prologue establishes the premise for and the intrinsic value of "candor without rancor" as a powerful yet often misunderstood and seldom used form on human expression. The profile of the book's two characters, Paul and Paulette, paints an engaging image of early 21st century America. The image portrays a diverse society highly influenced by individual life experiences --- including politics, friends, life style, genealogy, occupation, social status, family structure, religious affiliation, geographical residency and educational background. The profile also offers the reader a connection to both the genuineness and the natural prejudices found in today's society and reflected within the book's entertaining and sometimes provocative dialogues. The idea of 100 dialogues on 100 different topics may seem daunting at first glance. However, as the reader breezes through each dialogue (with the opportunity to make notes on his or her own point-of-view on each topic) it soon becomes apparent that the topics are quite pertinent to life in the 21st century. The reader similarly begins to appreciate how his or her own genealogy, family structure, geographical residency, friends, life style, occupation, educational background and etc. have contributed to shaping his or her personal points-of-view. When viewed separately, the prologue, the profiles and the dialogues are surely worth reading. But, when observed within the context of the sobering yet captivating story that is being told about "us" as Americans and how we view ourselves, others and our world, Pillow Talk Consciousnesscan easily be seen as a book for the ages..

Could you have avoided costly mistakes in your life if you knew then what you know now? If you could make the outcome of one of your most crucial life decisions more positive, would you do it? A great number of people would seize the opportunity to make a good decision even better. That's one of the reasons many gravitated to Living a Richer Life: Getting the Most out of Life's Gifts and Circumstances. In their first book, Earl Cobb and his wife, Dr. Charlotte Grant-Cobb, constructed the Life Enrichment Model to provide you with a tool to enhance your ability to more consciously respond to major circumstances in your life. In developing the model, however, Charlotte and Earl noted that even the best tools can't give you peace in the midst of a crisis. So in their sequel, God's Goodness and Our Mindfulness, the Cobbs, for the first time, share the source of their belief that "responding versus reacting to life's most challenging circumstances results in more positive outcomes." In their usual, instructive and descriptive manner, Earl and Charlotte illustrate, through the use of two of the most preeminent stories in the Bible, the importance of recognizing God's goodness and responding mindfully when confronting life altering circumstances. By reading this book you will be encouraged by knowing that (a) God's Goodness always reveals the magnitude of the circumstance and (b) responding mindfully to all circumstances in your life invites God's presence and grace. Furthermore, you will be fortified by the presentation of uplifting narratives that demonstrate the application of faith and mindfulness to crucial life altering circumstances. Additionally, you will be presented with the opportunity to learn more about the consciousness-enhancing nature of the Life Enrichment Model and how to properly apply the model to a potentially life changing circumstance in your life.

The Official Leadership Checklist and Diary for Project Management Professionals is the consummate thought guide and performance tracker for PMP professionals to employ and deploy successful project leadership strategies. Most publications focus on the technical aspects of project management while giving little attention to the leadership aspects. This practical guide is designed to be a unique and personal leadership enhancing complement to the preeminent global standard for Project Management as set forth in the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK(R)).
The book contains an insightful and concise introduction to The Seven Habits of Successful Project Leaders(TM), a set of Project Leadership Checklists and a confidential Project Leadership Diary.
The Seven Habits of Successful Project Leaders(TM) succinctly reveals how any Project Professional can benefit from a deeper understanding of Industry and PMI best practices in: <ul>
<li>Project Communications;</li> <li>Team Building;</li> <li>Change Management;</li> <li>Visioning;</li> <li>Problem Solving;</li> <li>Project Quality and </li> <li>Confidence Building.</li> </ul>
The Project Leadership Checklists contain reassuring "phase-by-phase" affirmations of specific actions that should be taken during each project phase to increase a Project Manager's leadership presence and influence. Unlike typical project questionnaires, the Project Leadership Checklists are designed to be consulted daily during each phase of the project to benefit from its experience-based wisdom, vision and direction. The Project Leadership Diary uniquely complements the Project Leadership Checklist. The Leadership Diary plays a vital role in the process of strengthening leadership presence and influence on any type of project. The Project Leadership Diary is structured to become a personal reflective journal - one you can refer to several times a day as a dashboard for your leadership accomplishments. At the end of the project, the Project Manager will own a "private reflective journal" to reference later for further development, to serve as a retrospective with his or her and to share with other project managers to help them enhance and grow their professional performance. Based on reviews by many successful Program Management Professionals, The Official Leadership Checklist and Diary should instantly become one of the most valued and trusted tools in every successful Project Manager's toolkit and for mentors to gift to their protégés.
