Written by a leader for leaders, The Millennial Whisperer shares proven, profit-driven strategies for leading millennials in the workforce. The Millennial generation is the largest, most diverse generation in the history of the United States. They will make up 75 percent of the workforce by 2030. Unfortunately, Millennials made a poor first impression in the business world, developing the reputation of being lazy, entitled, selfish, and disloyal. The truth is, Millennials are no lazier or more entitled, selfish, or disloyal than any previous generation; they just grew up with different experiences than older generations and are motivated by different things. In The Millennial Whisperer, Chris Tuff puts into context the ways Millennials differ from previous generations and shares practical steps companies and leaders can take to immediately boost productivity without building an office full of ping pong tables, beer kegs, and participation trophies. Chris provides practical ways for leaders to build a corporate culture in which Millennials can thrive, establish effective rewards systems at lower cost, address disciplinary methods effectively, and more! Get ready to turn your conference room back into a conference room, bring the beer kegs home for your next birthday bash, and put the participation trophies in the trash where they belong.

Wall Street Journal BESTSELLER New York Times bestselling author of Rich Bitch and renowned money expert Nicole Lapin makes investing accessible and fun so women can make bank and become Miss Independent. You’ve worked hard for your money and now it’s time for your money to work for you. You will never earn or budget your way into real wealth. Growing your money significantly doesn’t require starting with a lot of money. It requires a little bit of knowledge about taking smart risks and as much time as possible to take advantage of the glorious power of compound interest, which Einstein refers to as the eighth wonder of the world. From automating your savings to easy, no-stress investing strategies, Nicole will teach you how to take your financial knowledge and portfolio to the next level and start you on your journey to your ultimate destination: true financial independence. In Miss Independent, you will learn: The freedom that wealth affords you, whether it’s the ability to leave a crappy job or significant other, go on the vacation of your dreams or otherwise live life on your own terms. The best method for establishing your “number”—the amount of wealth you want to accumulate before you retire—and getting it. The meaning of the most common investing terms, like stocks and bonds, (and some more exotic ones like REITs or cryptocurrency) and how to make them work to your advantage. The ins and outs of big financial decisions and concepts, like taking out a mortgage, owning investment properties, and buying life insurance. Miss Independent takes the fear out of money management and investing once and for all. Using her own vulnerable stories and her signature conversational style, let Nicole show you all the different ways and paths that you can take to become financially free at last.
“This book is for any parent who has ever struggled under the substantial weight of caregiving—which is to say, all of us. Good Inside is not only a wise and practical guide to raising resilient, emotionally healthy kids, it’s also a supportive resource for overwhelmed parents who need more compassion and less stress. Dr. Becky is the smart, thoughtful, in-the-trenches parenting expert we’ve been waiting for!”—Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play and Find Your Unicorn Space Dr. Becky Kennedy, wildly popular parenting expert and creator of @drbeckyatgoodinside, shares her groundbreaking approach to raising kids and offers practical strategies for parenting in a way that feels good. Over the past several years, Dr. Becky Kennedy—known to her followers as “Dr. Becky”—has been sparking a parenting revolution. Millions of parents, tired of following advice that either doesn’t work or simply doesn’t feel good, have embraced Dr. Becky’s empowering and effective approach, a model that prioritizes connecting with our kids over correcting them. Parents have long been sold a model of childrearing that simply doesn’t work. From reward charts to time outs, many popular parenting approaches are based on shaping behavior, not raising humans. These techniques don’t build the skills kids need for life, or account for their complex emotional needs. Add to that parents’ complicated relationships with their own upbringings, and it’s easy to see why so many caretakers feel lost, burned out, and worried they’re failing their kids. In Good Inside, Dr. Becky shares her parenting philosophy, complete with actionable strategies, that will help parents move from uncertainty and self-blame to confidence and sturdy leadership. Offering perspective-shifting parenting principles and troubleshooting for specific scenarios—including sibling rivalry, separation anxiety, tantrums, and more—Good Inside is a comprehensive resource for a generation of parents looking for a new way to raise their kids while still setting them up for a lifetime of self-regulation, confidence, and resilience.

What Are You Waiting For? You Don't Have 9 Lives! beautifully blends the familiarity of a childhood storybook with the challenges of young adulthood. In each chapter, the smart and sometimes snarky little tuxedo cat named Coco, shares her life experiences and lessons learned in tandem with those of her human "Mama." Through Coco's observations and advice, readers will: - Be encouraged to stay true to, and develop their natural talents - Learn how to recognize, reframe, and recover from life events - Realize they have the power to shape their life story There is no how-to manual or comprehensive college course to help young people navigate the transition from student to young adult. What Are You Waiting For? You Don't Have 9 Lives! will help the young adult in your family, your classroom, or your organization conquer self-limiting beliefs and move through life with an authentic sense of self worth. *A portion of the profit from this book will be dedicated to helping shelter cats find their forever home.* Praise for What Are You Waiting For? In Nancy West's book, "What Are You Waiting For? You Don't Have 9 Lives!" through the eyes of the wise and clever, Coco, a tuxedo cat, she shares insightful stories, provides guidance mixed with humor, and messages about working through fear and life's up and downs, while not letting it diminish our authentic talents, our purpose, and our beliefs. This book is bound to be a go-to resource for up and coming talent to begin to understand the laws of the universe and how they apply to your personal and professional lives. - Dave Ciliberto, Adjunct Instructor at Cornell University A tear-jerking page-turner, this book is simply spectacular. Implementing the Law of Attraction and the "T" Chart, brilliant. I give Nancy West a 40/40 on equipping college graduates with a guideline for living a more authentic and fulfilling life. On the weapons range, that's an expert marksman. - Avrie Welton, Second Lieutenant, United States Military Academy at West Point Graduate "What Are You Waiting For? You Don't have 9 Lives!" is so cleverly written and in such a fun and light way that makes it easy for the reader, especially recent graduates, to understand how we can help ourselves and "Become More." It is uplifting and inspirational and by the end, we all wish we could have a "Coco" to help us on our personal and professional journey. - Maureen McCarthy, Director at MMC Training and Consulting With a smile on my face, a tear in my eye and a hopeful joy in my heart, Coco's "lives" are the perfect metaphor for all of us as we face and traverse the challenges of life. Seeking, finding, enjoying, loving, losing, recovering, and ultimately deciding to take responsibility for our own happiness and being. Coco's wisdom is profound, and yet so obvious if we "mere humans" would just allow ourselves to accept our emotions and fears, seek out, and attract people and solutions that allow us to Believe, Seek, and Do! Whatever challenges life hands us, it comes down to saying "Says who?" and deciding and acting to make things different. Even though short term pain (investment) may be required, the outcome is ALWAYS preferable to remaining stuck and settling. Just as the Professor was able to demonstrate to his audience and his production crew, through Coco's lives, we all have the power to love ourselves and each other, overcome our differences, and attain our goals. What are we waiting for? - Steve Shap, Road Scholars International
