An Inspiring Guide to Making Life Miraculous "So much has been written about the negative aspects of today's work environments. Angels in the Workplace is an inspiring look at how ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference at their place of work."--Karol Emmerick, corporate director and former vice president and treasurer, Dayton Hudson Corporation Angels do exist and they can transform your workplace. With these enchanting stories, noted business author and consultant Melissa Giovagnoli recounts the tales of ordinary people whose random acts of kindness have generated some extraordinary results. These people are living proof that there are angels among us, and Giovagnoli tells us how we might join their ranks. The author says that to be angels ourselves, we must shape our lives according to seven heavenly tenets: faith, hope, charity, courage, truth, trust, and love. Devoting a chapter to each virtue, Giovagnoli describes the miracles that living angels have performed on the job, and shows how we can put these virtues into practice in our own lives. It?s an inspiring work about renewing hope, creating a stronger sense of community, and redefining the meaning of success.

Make Your Connections Count: The Six-Step System to Build Your Meganetwork

Get wise to the knowledge within your organization.... Within every company, a small group of people exist who know how to get things done: how to solve big problems that stump others, navigate obstacles, and anticipate emerging opportunities with amazing speed. But most companies don't make the best use of their wisest people...or even know who they are. The Wisdom Network introduces readers to an eight-step process for discovering and realizing the power of the untapped knowledge that exists within their organization. The book shows how to: 
* establish an environment that encourages wisdom sharing and expansion of roles * identify "magnet" topics vital to the company and support ad hoc teams of experts that form around them * create unconventional measures to track the progress of the wisdom network 
Employees who continuously prove their worth can be found at all levels of the organization. Here's how to reap the true value of their wisdom.

Do you wish to surround yourself with people of like-minded values but struggle to find them? Are you experiencing a variety of 'takers' in your life, and spending all your energies defending yourself or your department or your company? The Nanosecond Networlders show us that there are compelling new solutions to some of the most vexing cross-cultural, career, and organizational business issues we face today. These solutions recognize that every decision is made in a split-second, and that although we often deliberate for months, the moment of commitment is the moment that counts. Making that commitment in a way that is firmly rooted in recognized individual core values is the key. No one can remove those barriers alone. This book shows us how to participate in an 'exchange' of ideas, values, and solutions to break through to our true potential-by leveraging the limitless possibilities inherent in every conversation we have.
