Paperback. Condizione: Good. In Before Conflict: Preventing Aggressive Behavior, John Byrnes gets to the heart of the concept of aggression prevention. Rather than look strictly at violence and all its implications--fatalities, crime, and assault--Byrnes instead chooses to look ahead, in order to prevent violence rather than simply to act in reaction to it. By using a unique methodology of Aggression Management, those responsible for the safety of others may circumvent the standard practice of mere conflict resolution by dealing with the problem before it creates conflict. Because everyone experiences and manages anger differently, Aggression Management teaches readers not only how to measure their own aggression, but that of others as well. The result empowers the reader to stop problems before they even develop. This book is recommended for anyone responsible for the safety of others, especially people who work in the fields of education, health care and social services, law enforcement, the retail food service industry, and the U.S. Postal Service.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Miracle of Effort: Thalia's Autism Journey is the story of Thalia being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when she was two years old and her journey to graduating college and becoming an elementary school teacher. Through Thalia's journey, this book aspires to offer a sense of what children with autism and their families go through. The book takes the reader through the experiences, the emotions, the challenges confronted, the sacrifices demanded, and the decisions that needed to be made at different stages of a child's life. Thalia's family is at the center of this story. There were several critical decisions made by Thalia's parents, Donnie and Lorena. They were confronted with a traumatic reality that required perspective and patience, while fighting through moments of despair and sadness. It was Donnie and Lorena's determination that they would be part of the solution for their daughter that shaped Thalia's journey. It is Donnie's cousin, Lisa, who noticed Thalia's autistic behavior symptoms and delivered her initial learning therapy sessions. Each child that is diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum will have a different experience with the disorder. No two situations are the same. The following is Thalia's unique autism journey. Her Miracle of Effort. The book is intended to offer hope to the many families that are confronted with this disability. As Thalia says, an autism diagnosis does not mean that a child cannot be successful. It just means that he or she will see the world in a different light. Thalia's simple hope is to inspire autistic individuals to live up to their full potential and provide optimism to families.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The Next Lesson is a spiritual concept and includes a daily practice journal. This book is simple in concept but profound in application. It is intended to inspire healing on a very deep level and to be useful to those of both religious and nonreligious orientations. The main goal is to catalyse a shift in perspective with the hardships of life. I refer to the point of integration as the moment when a patient shifts from victimization of their problems, where they are exhausted and demoralized, to an experience of meaning.

A once prominent American investor broken by the Great Recession seeks redemption in the jungle near the Sino-Burmese border, where a beautiful karaoke girl with a past might be able to save him.The Great Recession of 2008 humbled many good men. Once featured on the front pages of New York?s business and society papers, Jack Davis had spiraled downward in the aftermath of the crisis.  How far will someone go to get their reputation back? Jack is about to find out. Exiled to the last remnant of his investment empire?a rusty silicon smelter in the Chinese jungle north of the Burmese border?his comeback seems far-fetched. But it?s either take his best shot or crawl away from the world in shame.  At first, his prospects appear grim. Asked when they could earn a profit, his general manager answered, ?In China, no one make money in regular business. Make money other ways.? When Jack discovers his employees are using the company?s trucks to run jade from Burma over the border to China, his first instinct is to clean house?until he learns they?re making more money running jade than he is smelting silicon. Jack?s jade buyer tries to warn him. ?The problem is, it?s never just running jade,? the man said. ?Jade leads to other things way beyond your control. You?re a foreigner, for God?s sake.?  Set in a dangerous, once-obscure corner of the world that has recently vaulted to prominence, South of the Clouds tells the story of an American forced to choose, not between right and wrong??there?s no legal here??but between the predictable and the unknown, between a stale life or one with Mei, the beautiful karaoke girl with a past, and the woman he loves. Wall Street isn?t only about greed and cynicism. There are heroes there too.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Throttle Up Brings Leadership Thought and Practice into the 21st CenturyLEADERSHIP CAN BE anything one says it is--that is until a person or group has to do something complex with it. For the most part, leadership development remains an exercise of the abstract ostensibly possessed by the heroic or gifted few and disconnected from the multifaceted real-world challenges of everyday life. Throttle Up represents a departure from the traditional perspective in which leadership resides in the traits or behaviors of individuals in leadership roles. Instead, Throttle Up asserts that leadership in the 21st century is a practice to be learned-proving there is a difference between being a leader and doing leadership. The 21st-century world in which we live is filled with ambiguity, turbulence, rapid complex change, information overload, and the yearning of people to find meaning from the work they do. Therefore, leaders must be able to initiate and create an environment where people come to do their best work every day by melding diverse talent and individual abilities into collaborative, interdependent unified action. Most important, those involved in a leadership dynamic must increase their ability to do leadership together because in the 21st-century--LEADERSHIP IS WHAT PEOPLE DO TOGETHER However, leaders of organizations are prone to repeat yesterday's news because they are looking for leadership in the wrong place. Throttle Up explains how and why traditional leadership development initiatives are going nowhere fast. To accelerate a transition to 21st-century leadership practices, Throttle Up offers seven how-to methods to accelerate the impact of leadership training in organizations. These action-oriented 21st-century leadership practices include: - How to complete a strategic thinking session - How to initiate and establish a leadership network - How to create storybooks to accelerate culture shifts - How to use the four frames to create compelling communications to support a culture shift (Wax-On, Wax-Off) - What five questions to ask when selecting a 21st-century leadership impact program - How to apply the LeadSimm(R) Leadership Impact Simulation Method - How to create and implement a pull learning education and evaluation strategy designed to assess the training impact on the organization To bring leadership into the 21st century, Throttle Up presents a model that assures accelerated learning can shift an organization's effectiveness in ways not found elsewhere.…

After a terrible misjudgment in the delivery room, Dr. John Bruchalski realized that with every pregnant woman he attends, there are two patients--the mother and her unborn child. In addition to this discovery, two remarkable spiritual experiences deepened his understanding of the kind of man he had become and the one he was called to be.Two Patients is the story of how a physician who practiced abortion came to question the medical status quo and to pioneer an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and o­ ers care to patients regardless of their financial situation. Such health care, writes Dr. John Bruchalski, is merciful medicine, and his memoir gives a glimpse of just how merciful the relationship between a doctor and his two patients--mother and child-- can be.…
