RSVP >>> https://hubs.li/Q02NF0fH0

✨ABOUT THE BOOK✨

In today’s breakneck world, we idolize hard-edged leadership, often at the cost of our humanity. Ever felt your leadership is driven more by fear than purpose? Ever drowned in relentless self-criticism? In Human First, Leader Second, dive into the revolutionary concept of self-compassion, debunking myths that it makes us weak or complacent.

Using the experiences of working with over 3,000 leaders and backed by rigorous research, this book is a clarion call to reclaim our humanity. Because to lead others effectively, we must first lead ourselves with kindness.

Whether you're an entrenched CEO or an emerging leader, learn how compassion towards oneself can catalyze groundbreaking leadership. Take a pause, pick this up, and discover the untapped power of leading from the heart.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant.

In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you “cancelled.” People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended.

But it’s not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication—written or spoken—with anyone:

• Reflect reality
• Show respect
• Draw people in
• Incorporate other perspectives
• Prevent erasure
• Recognize pain points

This guide clarifies the challenges—and the solutions—to using "they/them," and demonstrates why "you guys" isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband—because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like "America was discovered in 1492," because that's just when Europeans found it.

Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.

Check it out here >>> https://hubs.li/Q02NtNVv0 (August 28th, 2024)

✨ABOUT THE BOOK✨
Discover the science-based secrets to reducing workplace stress, building unwavering resilience, and achieving success through the power of conversation.

Technology, isolation, and increasing demands for productivity are making the workplace a hotbed for stress—it's no surprise employees are abandoning traumatic workplaces in unprecedented numbers.

Ed Beltran, the CEO of a powerhouse leadership communication company, believes the antidote to stressed-out workplaces starts with conversation.

Beltran has developed a science-based model to reduce stress and help people build what he calls fierce resilience. By leveraging the power of conversations, individuals discover:

▶️their unique stressors
▶️master skills to neutralize stressors
▶️build unwavering resilience that elevates their emotional well-being

This is no ordinary self-help book. The transformative process of fierce resilience goes well beyond developing mere coping skills. It helps people take control of their emotional health, become more resilient, and build organizations with resilience as a core part of their DNA.
