She introduces the reader to an exciting world of new, easy-to-use, high-tech devices and suggests how they can work in tandem with more traditional care. She also provides savvy guidance on how to evaluate and deal with home health care agencies. While coordinating care for her elderly mother, who died at home at the age of 95, Tadd had the opportunity to work with two in-home health care agenciesone was great and the other only added stress to an already stressful situation. Her book analyzes the reasons for the differences, presents guidelines and warning signs, and provides questionnaires to use in assessing and selecting quality in-home care, rehab, and hospice services. With first-hand experience in helping a parent age gracefully at home, Tadd has written a practical, user-friendly book with warmth, wisdom, and a touch of humor. As one of the reviewers stated, “Reading this book is like having a long conversation with a friend over coffee.” A vast array of topics such as simple ways to improve home safety, signs and symptoms that may indicate that assistance is needed, the importance of good nutrition and exercise, exercises to prevent falls, ways to manage medications and enhance compliance, and many more are addressed in this engaging, comprehensive, holistic guide to home care.

In this highly anticipated follow-up to The Renegade Server, author, speaker and consultant Tim Kirkland examines how leaders can focus on creating stronger, more engaged teams and motivating them to improved performance daily. Cultivation - The first responsibility of any Coach is to collect, develop and maintain high performing team members. Readers will discover new ways to improve how they recruit, motivate and retain top talent. Observation - Often, leaders find themselves very 'busy,' but accomplishing little. It's frequently a diagnostic mistake by not taking the time to fully understand the landscape in which we're operating. Readers will learn to observe challenges from multiple perspectives and apply meaningful, lasting solutions. Accountability - Great coaches know that you don't win games by only watching the scoreboard. Readers will learn how to make team members personally responsible for the work, not just the results. Connection - When team members are fully connected to the purpose of the work and the mission of the team, they produce better results. Discover how to connect your team to each other and to the greater goal. Hand-Off - Often, when we fail at Customer Experience, it's not because any one person failed at their role...but because the ball was dropped during the 'hand-off' between team members. Learn how to deliver seamless, customized Customer Experiences by existing as a Coach "in the gaps."
