FIND YOUR CLARITY AND SUCCESS WILL FIND YOU!

Clarity can mean different things to different people. For some, it arrives in the form of an answer or a direction. For others, it’s understanding the context of a complex situation. For most, however, clarity evokes a calm and focused state of mind with lower stress and diminished anxiety over what to do next.

As satisfying as it is to help people find clarity with their business problems, it’s far more rewarding to teach someone how to find their own clarity. That’s the purpose of this book – to describe how people can find the clarity to help manage, grow, and lead their businesses to greater success.

Any executive, leader, or owner can benefit from greater clarity regarding their business. Let Clarity show you how you can:

• Learn to quickly sift through distractions and address the real issues.
• Identify the core problems affecting your business and impeding your success.
• Develop the curiosity to destroy assumptions and find solutions.
• Enhance your awareness of the emotions and context that lead us astray.
• Improve your success with better sequencing, timing, and patience.
• Create Conscious Competence around the most impactful parts of your business.
• Develop your own Business Wisdom® to see the world clearly!

GROW WISER, WORK LESS, AND WIN BIG IN BUSINESS!

Inside the Liberal Arts accomplishes two ambitious goals at once, and shows why they are inseparable: It explains the nature and purpose of liberal learning – to produce critical thinkers and well-rounded democratic citizens – and offers a probing, accessible guided tour of critical thinking, emphasizing the analytic skills that form the intellectual core of all higher education. Becoming better critical thinkers doesn’t mean we have to become philosophers. As users of language, Scheuer explains, we’re already philosophers. Advanced critical thinking simply makes us better philosophers – and better learners and citizens. In lucid and often witty prose, Scheuer guides us through the moral and conceptual heart of the liberal education ideal. In an era when colleges and universities are struggling to convey the value of that ideal to students and parents, Inside the Liberal Arts will be a lasting aid to intellectual excellence, and a benchmark for understanding what it means to be an educated citizen.

Today we are facing the “The Great Resignation.” People are resigning from the workforce or, possibly worse, resigning themselves to an unsatisfying status quo and being disengaged at work. They’ve quit…but stayed. Neither outcome is “great.”

Mark A. Mears prefers to redefine this era as “The Great Repurposing”—an opportunity to focus on what (and who) really matters most to create deeper meaning in our life and work. He shows us that WHO we "serve" is even more important than our WHY—in fact, it can lead us to our WHY and subsequently our HOW and WHAT. The emphasis Mears places on "serve" is on purpose; especially given the fact that team members don't leave bad companies, they leave bad leaders. And Mark believes the very best kind of leaders are servant leaders—those who help us grow into our God-given purpose.

In The Purposeful Growth Revolution, Mears shares a wealth of personal experiences as a C-Suite executive, relevant examples of best practices, and insights from both research and subject matter experts to unveil his revolutionary 4 LEAF GROWTH model based upon “The Higher Power of 4s” (Think 4-circle Venn diagram) where a leaf serves as both a metaphor for growth as well as an acronym which stands for Leadership, Engagement, Accountability, and Fulfillment.

In this book, you will learn to apply 4 holistic and revolutionary processes found in nature to help individuals, teams, and organizations find purpose, fulfill their true growth potential, and leave a living legacy—what Mears calls paying it backward. All designed to fulfill Purposeful Growth, Purposeful Self, Purposeful Work, and a Purposeful Life.

The world of work is changing—on purpose.Are you ready to grow into yours?

The Purposeful Growth Revolution is on!

Mark A. Mears is an author, keynote speaker, consultant, and visionary business leader with a significant track record of building shareholder value. He has driven innovation and profitable growth among world-class, high-profile brands such as PepsiCo/Pizza Hut, McDonald’s, Frito-Lay, JCPenney, NBCUniversal, and The Cheesecake Factory.

Paranoid about the “ums” and “uhs” that pepper your presentations? Concerned that people notice your vocal fry? Bewildered by “hella” or the meteoric rise of “so”? What if these features of our speech weren’t a sign of cultural and linguistic degeneration, but rather, some of the most dynamic and revolutionary tools at our disposal?

In Like, Literally, Dude, linguist Valerie Fridland shows how we can re-imagine these forms as exciting new linguistic frontiers rather than our culture’s impending demise. With delightful irreverence and expertise built over two decades of research, Fridland weaves together history, psychology, science, and laugh-out-loud anecdotes to explain why we speak the way we do today, and how that impacts what our kids may be saying tomorrow. She teaches us that language is both function and fashion, and that though we often blame the young, the female, and the uneducated for its downfall, we should actually thank them for their linguistic ingenuity.

By exploring the dark corners every English teacher has taught us to avoid, Like, Literally, Dude redeems our most pilloried linguistic quirks, arguing that they are fundamental to our social, professional, and romantic success—perhaps even more so than our clothing or our resumes. It explains how filled pauses benefit both speakers and listeners; how the use of “dude” can help people bond across social divides; why we’re always trying to make our intensifiers ever more intense; as well as many other language tics, habits, and developments.

Language change is natural, built into the language system itself, and we wouldn’t be who we are without it. Like, Literally, Dude celebrates the dynamic, ongoing, and empowering evolution of language, and it will speak to anyone who talks, or listens, inspiring them to communicate dynamically and effectively in their daily lives.

Naked at The Knife-Edge, Vivian James Rigney’s compelling and often harrowing true account of summiting Everest, offers a unique window into lessons on leadership and what it takes to succeed in any circumstance.

Only a relatively small group of individuals has climbed the highest peak on each of the planet’s seven continents. Known as the Seven Summits, it is a feat that typically takes years and an enormous amount of planning, training, and effort, in some of the most inaccessible places on earth. But Vivian James Rigney was determined to do just that.

An executive coach and globally recognized authority on leadership and teamwork in business, Rigney relied on skills learned in the corporate world in addition to physical training to attempt these summits. Everest, his seventh and final peak, almost broke him. There, he and his team confronted wild storms lasting for days, near-vertical walls of ice, and a knife-edge ridge with fatal drops on either side. They endured avalanches, sub-zero temperatures, and tragedy unfolding around them. The roller coaster of pain, self-reflection, questioning, and above all, loneliness left Rigney with ego in tatters. It was then he discovered an awakening of what real purpose and legacy actually is.

This unique and powerful journey reveals critical wisdom for individuals and leaders in any circumstance, including how to:

• Overcome the ego trap and get out of your head
• Triage what you can and cannot control
• Harness your intuition
• Create shared purpose and real followership
• Tap into the power of vulnerability and authenticity

In Naked at the Knife-Edge, Rigney uniquely combines the hands-on and reflective approach of one of today’s most respected executive coaches with adventure and a raw and revealing personal story.

The Mental Handbook is an award-winning book. But I realize the book itself wasn't enough.I realize it's not enough to simply tell you how to build Mental Toughness, Confidence & Discipline. I know my daily Work On Your Game Podcast, though the best in its category and a giant step in the right direction, isn't going to permanently change you by itself. I know for a fact that changing your life from the inside-out, starting with your mindset and how you see YOURSELF, isn’t a second-person job. No matter how much I talk to you, inspire and motivate you, nothing I say to you will have a much impact on your life as what YOU say to you. Which is why I created The Mental Workbook. Setting goals and working hard are requirements for achievement. Many people falsely believe that's all there is to it. If that’s all it takes, why are so few people successful? There’s more — much more — to you reaching all your goals than just having them and working every day. The Good News is, I know the exact formula for creating anything you want in life. I explain in detail how and why it works. I walk you through each step of the program. And, most importantly, I put you in position to do it yourself instead of just reading or hearing about it. This is the exact program I follow myself, still to this day. I guarantee that it works. And I DEMAND that you follow it. It’s called The Mental Workbook. Let’s start now.

For leaders who believe they may not be maximizing their leadership potential, Warwick Fairfax is the trusted leadership advisor who helps readers uncover their own unique path to living and leading with significance, effectiveness, and authenticity in all areas of life.

In Crucible Leadership, he shares the power of embracing the crucible moments: those past trials, failures, and setbacks that can be seen as either roadblocks or as jumping-off points to leading a life of significance and purpose dedicated to serving others. Crucible Leadership comes alive through the unique framework of Warwick’s own story: how his legacy shaped his worldview and drove decisions that eventually led to his own crucible moment. He demonstrates to readers in an honest, self-reflective way how they can make sense of their own talents and trials to lead with authenticity in all areas of life. Warwick empowers readers to become the leader they were designed to be through his unique perspective, which has been shaped by three powerful touchstones:

• Hard-won insights and honest, self-reflective lessons learned from his own crucible moment, and the long road back from it
• Inspiring and instructive stories from his rich and iconic family history
• Time-honored leadership truths proven out by history’s greatest and most inspirational figures

Creating a culture of learning and growth.

Growth is the goal. Helping people develop their potential—enabling them to articulate and become the self they want to be, are capable of being, and that best serves them and others in the short and long term—is what we as individuals and leaders strive toward.

But how do we grow? It turns out it happens in a predictable way, which means we can understand where we are in our growth and chart a way forward. In this compact, complete guide, Whitney Johnson dives more deeply than ever into the S Curve of Learning so that you can envision how growth happens and direct yourself and others in your organization to create a culture that fosters it.

The growth and learning journey comes in three phases: the Launch Point, the Sweet Spot, and Mastery. Compelling examples of successful people will show you when and why growth is slow, how to keep going, what to do when growth and learning are almost too fast to keep up with, and how to leap from one growth journey to another.

As individuals grow, so do organizations and societies. Growth is learning put into action—action that betters the world as we better ourselves and our small niches, both personal and professional, within it. Growth occurs when learning is internalized—when we try something new and invest the effort to move it from being something we do to something we are.

Climbing the right mountain will require you to get clear about what you want, who you want to be, and how to get there. Tony will take you through these guideposts to help you navigate the way: Evaluate Where You Are, Connect with the Leader Within, Calibrate Your Being, Check Your Surroundings, Be Ready to Adapt, Get Your Bearings, Evaluate Your Footprint, and Make a Meaningful Impact.

We rarely speak about how many people get to the top of the mountain only to realize they gave everything they had only to summit the wrong peak. If you are a leader who has had success in the past, but feels unfulfilled and wants more out of life, then you have the right book in your hands.

If you want to have a more meaningful impact and are motivated and ready to do something about it, I invite you to climb the right mountain.

Tony guides leaders and their teams to design their work and life to feel fulfilled and live an inspired life. He creates space for people to open their minds, expand their world, imagine new possibilities, and inspire bold actions. Tony inspires leaders to disrupt their thinking patterns, make a more meaningful impact, and shape their legacy.

Imagine if you could unlock the power of emotional intelligence in a matter of weeks.

In many workplaces today, workplace conflict is an escalating issue. The shift to remote work and hybrid teams has left many people longing for deeper human connection. On top of this, add a younger generation clamoring for more feedback and impatient for change, steady advances in technology that can feel threatening to job security, or people reexamining priorities and quietly quitting. Take the increase in anxiety, stress, and depression, mix in the loss of human relationships, and you get less tolerance and understanding leading, ultimately, to more unresolved workplace conflict.

At a time when many long-held workplace structures and beliefs are changing, Career Forward is a beacon for women aspiring to achieve success and satisfaction in rewarding careers. Drawing on decades of experience reaching the top of Fortune 500 companies, Grace Puma and Christiana Smith Shi show women how to maximize their career journeys, get paid what they’re worth, navigate the shifts that occur in any company, build a leadership identity, and have a full life in and out of work.

The authors challenge negative stereotypes about female ambition, and urge women to be bold, follow their dreams, and seize the chance to lead “big” lives. The secret is to focus on career first, job second. Instead of chasing a better job title or a salary bump, the goal should be a long-range career path that leads to success. “Career forward” means keeping a focus on the future and recognizing that being good at your job is often not enough—that you should take every opportunity to boost your connections, take on “difficult” assignments, and work actively to broaden your skills.

Packed with personal anecdotes and wisdom from women who’ve been there, and featuring quizzes and checklists for self-evaluation, Career Forward provides a wealth of valuable lessons, including the value of thinking of yourself as a “growth stock” and, instead of chasing the elusive work-life balance, living a well-rounded 360-degree life that fully embraces both. Offering a refreshing response to anyone who wonders whether working hard is really worth it, Puma and Smith Shi’s emphatic answer is “yes,” because by correctly following the blueprint in Career Forward, the rewards will far outweigh the effort.

Through true stories, readers will discover sixteen simple life lessons that will motivate and inspire. These simple truths will:make decision-making simpler;provide courage to pursue passions;give eyes to see new opportunities; offer tools to conquer challenges; and equip with the ability to find joy in each moment.

Author, blog-talk radio host, and renowned speaker Rick Tocquigny delivers truly motivational messages tailored to help people overcome life's discouragements and find the blessing in each day. Tocquigny's message is infused with grace, joy, and faith.

I got tired of all the military transition books coming out that offer a "follow the yellow brick road" fairy tale on how, if you just get your LinkedIn page right and follow some BS "to-do list" everything will be OK. So... I wrote my own that skips the to-do list and gets right to the point with the psychological transition we all eventually experience regardless of how prepared you are.It's a Non-PC approach to the transition conversation that uses the dark humor military people know and love to discuss something well known for ruining lives.About 70% of military service members transition out of the military before 10 years. And the vast majority of those that do, are junior enlisted personnel (E4-E6). Yet, most transitioning books on the market are written by lifers who have spent 20+ years in the military, or they are written by an officer. While both perspectives may offer valuable insights, there are some key ingredients junior enlisted personnel face that officers and retirees could never truly understand.When you transition from the military before 20 years, there is no guaranteed safety net made of a pension or disability payments. There is no good ole boy club helping you land a cush DOD retirement gig. And there is no additional support for family members.It is just you. On your own. Doing the best you can...Which has been proven, unfortunately, to not be going well for those of us who transition without post-secondary education, guaranteed pensions or disability, and a distorted world-view that 99% of the public does not fully understand. This book is written by a junior enlisted (E-6) Navy Special Operations (SWCC) veteran who transitioned at 12 years (honorably), without guaranteed income, without education, without family support, and without a solid plan. It illuminates the reality that many of the obstacles we face during transition are self-imposed. And one of the best ways to grow mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially beyond the military is to get out of our heads and into the world through sustained engagement with civilians.

Clarity can mean different things to different people. For some, it arrives in the form of an answer or a direction. For others, it’s understanding the context of a complex situation. For most, however, clarity evokes a calm and focused state of mind with lower stress and diminished anxiety over what to do next.

As satisfying as it is to help people find clarity with their business problems, it’s far more rewarding to teach someone how to find their own clarity. That’s the purpose of this book – to describe how people can find the clarity to help manage, grow, and lead their businesses to greater success.

Any executive, leader, or owner can benefit from greater clarity regarding their business. Let Clarity show you how you can:

• Learn to quickly sift through distractions and address the real issues.
• Identify the core problems affecting your business and impeding your success.
• Develop the curiosity to destroy assumptions and find solutions.
• Enhance your awareness of the emotions and context that lead us astray.
• Improve your success with better sequencing, timing, and patience.
• Create Conscious Competence around the most impactful parts of your business.
• Develop your own Business Wisdom® to see the world clearly!

GROW WISER, WORK LESS, AND WIN BIG IN BUSINESS!

In 2022, Lon defied conventional wisdom, leaving his prestigious C-suite job on a hunch that life demanded more from him. Without a resume, business plan, or vast wealth, he shed the big office, title, and image, embarking on a journey to unlock his life's potential. Unexpectedly, when he resigned, his inbox overflowed with messages from high-achievers from across the world, people he had never met, seeking the same path but lacking guidance.

Lon's pursuit led him to conduct thousands of one-on-one interviews with individuals navigating their most critical life transitions. These conversations and the tough decisions we all encounter fueled his drive to write this book. It's a testament to challenging the status quo and embracing transformative change. It’s a book about living your second-half story, and what you'll have to trade to live it.

One voice may urge you to stay safe, while the other implores you to take a leap of faith and explore uncharted territories. The Trade dares you to live your second-half story without regrets. This book challenges you to break free from your status quo, remove self-imposed limitations, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

Lon has named this feeling 'Normal 40.’ And he has since built a movement dedicated to giving a home to those who are quietly wrestling with a career or military transition. What he thought was a feeling only he was having, he has discovered thousands more who are living their own Normal 40 Moment.

The Trade is a playbook for how to help professionals work their own Normal 40 Moment. The Trade will help you to understand that you are not alone, and that this feeling in your gut, when understood, is a gift.

Every life culminates in a final day, surrounded by loved ones. In those last moments, you'll reflect on the legacy you'll leave and the life you've lived. The Trade prompts you to weigh the risks you've taken and embrace the two prevailing thoughts: "I am glad I did it" or "I wish I would have tried." This book inspires you to seize every moment and make choices that align with your truest self. The Trade will ensure you are glad you did it.

Lon’s mission is to inspire change in a thousand lives. And he will know he has been successful when he has a thousand notes of thanks from people whom the change has impacted.
