Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work--and your workplace--from good to great. "Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide and answer, or unleash a solution. giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice." --Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly "Michael Bungay Stanier distills the essentials of coaching to seven core questions. And if you master his simple yet profound technique, you'll get a two-fer. You'll provide more effective support to your employeesand co-workers. And you may find that you become the ultimate coach for yourself." --Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive "What can you do to become a better leader? Michael asks and answers this question by offering aspiring leaders seven thoughtful questions that will change their leadership habits. This book is full of practical,useful and interesting questions, ideas and tools that will guide any leader trying to be better." --Dave Ulrich, co-author of The Why of Work and The Leadership Code "Michael's intelligence, wit, articulateness and dedication to the craft of coaching shine forth in this brilliant how-to manual for anyone called to assist others. Even after four decades of my own experience in thisarena, The Coaching Habit has provided me with great takeaways." --David Allen, author of Getting Things Done "The Coaching Habit is funny, smart, practical, memorable and rounded in currentbehavioural science. I found it highly valuable for my own work and collaborations." --James Slezak, Executive Director of Strategy, New York Times

"An uplifting memoir we can all relate to, and the funniest book about depression you’re ever going to read.” Kathryn Greenwood, Whose Line Is It Anyway? "Jessica Holmes has delivered a powerful ‘antidepressant’ with this hilarious, informative, and heartwarming book.” Dr. Shimi Kang, psychiatrist, bestselling author of The Dolphin Parent “Jessica's ability to open up about painful things in a way that make them hilarious and beautiful is astounding! This book will make you laugh, make you feel brave and make you feel like you are normal and wonderful just the way you are!” Aisha Alfa, comedian, Just For Laughs Comedians live by the mantra tragedy + time = comedy―hence Jessica Holmes’s refreshing and hilarious new memoir about depression, “the cold sore of the mind.” She takes us on her journey― sometimes laugh-out-loud, sometimes cringe-worthy―from successful performer to someone who was basically living the life of a house cat. She muses about: · the chicken and the egg of depression and comedy · marriage counselling (a.k.a. tattling on your spouse) · where jokes come from · living on the sofa, which now looks like a tornado hit a 7-Eleven · her kids’ take on the perks of having a depressed mom: “We don’t have to clean up anything. Yesterday the cat barfed and Mom just put a cushion on it and went back to playing on the iPad!” · the obnoxiousness of anti-depressant commercials: “I never noticed the ocean before!” Holmes shares her two cents on how to play it cool when your medication makes you hear Kate Hudson’s voice, and why you don’t sneak pepperoni into the movies. It’s a validating read for anyone who has suffered from depression a little (“I get sad every January”) or a lot (“My psychiatrist doesn’t have a name for what I’ve got”) or who just thinks real life calls for levity and understanding.

From a simple smile from a stranger on the street to a hug from a relative or close friend, we humans thrive when we feel connected to one another. And yet, loneliness is on the rise. The good news is, you don't have to continue suffering in silence. In this powerful guide and workbook, renowned mental health expert and addictions counselor Dr Bill Howatt drills into the root causes of isolation and loneliness--including the double-edged sword of digital technology--and shows you how to conquer them to achieve a more fulfilling, enriching life. Through a compelling mix of real-life case studies, self-reflection exercises, and cognitive behavioral techniques, you'll learn how to recognize your own self-limiting thoughts and behaviors, unlock your mental traps, and close the social connection gaps in all areas of your life--from the personal to the professional. Employers will also find tips for boosting psychological safety in the workplace and among their virtual teams. No single pill or exercise offers an escape from isolation; the cure for loneliness lies in a combination of realizing where you're stuck, and closing social connections gaps in meaningful ways. But if you commit to doing the work, you can become who you want to be. You can have more meaningful social connections. Ultimately, you'll see that why you feel isolated and lonely may not be as important as what you learn to do with it.

Stop treating your work and your life as separate. Work shouldn't be a burden that takes place outside of your "real life." It should, and can, be a source of happiness and authentic meaning - if you work from the inside out. In The Full Body Yes, LinkedIn's Head of Mindfulness and Compassion Programs Scott Shute shows how the evolution within companies lies in the evolution of ourselves. After all, a company is the sum of its people: we decide where, how, and why we work. Through a four-step action plan, Shute demonstrates how the journey to a working life of happiness and authentic meaning is fueled by compassion. Through guided activities to cultivate compassion for yourself and others, you'll move toward a work lifestyle that allows you to: - discover what is important to you, so that you can spend more time doing just that - recognize and empower the deeper part of yourself - measure your success by your own happiness - allow yourself to develop and evolve at work - love and serve all of life (including yourself). Everyone deserves to do work that makes them happy, and to find happiness at work. With compassion, we can all get there.

About the Author\nScott Lively, president of Raise American, is an organic food entrepreneur and an absolute freak about beef. Scott left a successful career in the IT industry to found the U.S.'s largest organic beef producer. Today, he oversees a broad portfolio of company and private label and brands. A self-professed beef geek, he boasts that he knows every cut of beef as if he cut it himself. He divides his time between Scottsdale, Arizona, and Martha's Vineyard, where he is an owner of the Martha's Vineyard Sharks, a collegiate baseball franchise that is part of the NECBL. Scott is an advocate of local economic development and regenerative farming practices applied to large agriculture.\nWe don’t eat beef to stay alive, we eat it to feel alive.\nWe eat beef for the experience. We eat it for the texture, the aroma, the atmosphere. Whether it’s prepared in a backyard or a bistro, North Americans LOVE beef. Look at it this way: the French have their wine, the Germans have their beer―and the Americans have their beef.\nFrom hamburgers to meatballs, briskets to ribeyes, the average American eats almost 60 pounds of beef every year. Yet, how well do you know the steak on your plate, the roast in your oven, or the ground beef in your freezer? Where does it come from―Texas, Nebraska, Uruguay, or Australia? Is it true that the meat from thousands of cows is in just one pound of hamburger? And, if so, how safe is it? And what about hormones and antibiotics?\nScott Lively, president of Raise American, cuts through the bull and brings you the truth about the Big Beef industry in this essential guide to all things beef. You’ll find out what packers, grocers, and the government know, but don’t have to tell you. You’ll learn how to look at a cut of beef and know whether it’s clean, green, and healthy, or came from an old dairy cow. You’ll find out what “grass fed” really means (and what it doesn’t), and how the USDA actually measures the quality of your beef. And you’ll understand what sustainable cattle farming is, and how it can benefit your health and the environment.\nFor the Love of Beef has the answers to the questions you never knew you had about your favorite meat, written by one of the foremost authorities in the beef industry. Whether you’re a budget-minded consumer or would-be connoisseur, you’ll never look at beef the same way again.

To be self-employed means more than employing oneself. It's putting your entire self into your business with a willingness to grow personally and to take action towards building the successful life of your dreams. Small business consultant, photographer and host of The Self-Employed Life podcast Jeffrey Shaw believes we must develop ourselves personally first in order to increase our capacity for the success in business we want. Then all our hard work pays off! What self-employed business owners need is both business strategies and personal development to reach and maintain that success. In The Self-Employed Life, Shaw offers a three-part ecosystem for success: - Personal development: Remove limited thinking and establish forward-thinking mindsets - Business strategies: marketing, business model, systems and other key tools for growing your business - Daily habits: Efficient and effective habits to even out the ups and downs of being self-employed This holistic approach will equip you over the long haul, beyond the mechanics of setting up and running a business. Whereas Shaw's previous book, LINGO, was about creating the secret language to attract ideal customers, this book is all about creating the environment to attract the business success and life you want - through thought-provoking questions, supportive coaching concepts, and actionable business strategies. Jeffrey Shaw plots a path forward for self-employed and small business owners who know that a successful life is only limited by how big you can dream. He shows you how you can set up your environment to create the success you want. You may be in business for yourself, but you're not in business by yourself
