Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work

"Thoughtload—not workload—is the culprit causing chaos for your team. Be the leader that creates clarity, calm, and greater capacity. In Thoughtload, New York Times bestselling author and team effectiveness advisor Liane Davey tackles today’s most pressing management challenges: over-burdened systems, burned-out teams, and declining results. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Davey argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads. The root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today’s offices is with our excessive thoughtload. Thoughtload is the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy. In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Davey lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that you and your team feel more focused—and get more done. The process starts with you. By learning to better manage your attention, you create periods of deep concentration that lead to the outcomes you strive for, and a sense of accomplishment. By processing emotions triggered in the workplace and at home, you gain greater control of your mood and productivity. And by making informed choices about where your energy comes from (and where it goes), you connect with reliable and renewable resources that fuel you to do the things that matter most. Davey then gives you powerful tools you can use as a leader to coach your team members to manage thoughtload for themselves. Doing so, you and your team will feel more focused, less burnt out, and finally free to do more great work. Backed by science and written with the time- and energy-strapped manager in mind, Thoughtload is Liane Davey’s potent handbook for a better way to lead. Apply the strategies in this book to create calm within the chaos—so you and your team can perform, produce, and prosper."

The Self-Worth Safari: Valuing Your Life and Your Work

"In your career and work, finances, and indeed all areas of life, experience the transformative power of a key relationship—the friendship you have with yourself. In a world obsessed with building self-esteem—doing activities to improve our reputation with ourselves—our sense of well-being hinges on performance, the whims of good luck and positive outcomes. But when we don’t measure up to our own tough standards, things don’t go our way or life falls apart, we are called to access a deeper source of resilience, that of self-worth. In The Self-Worth Safari, author, speaker and business coach John Niland invites us on a powerful adventure to uncover this intrinsic state of value, which is ultimately untouched by changing fortune. Along the journey, seven self-worth shifts reorient our perspective. Through simple, practical actions, we train ourselves to step off the hamster wheel of self-esteem and onto the untrodden paths of self-worth. We move from a stance of self-reproach to self-acceptance; from constantly evaluating our performance to focusing on our usefulness to clients, customers and others; from a preoccupation with “being interesting” to finding interest in the people and circumstances around us. By applying these shifts through six key “terrains” of life—the body, relationships and family, career and work, money and status, friendship and environment and leisure—we develop a faithful ally in challenging times. We better rebound from setbacks, find new meaning in what we do and honour ourselves as a valuable member of any enterprise or team. An adept, highly knowledgeable and often humorous guide, Niland offers stories from his own life and from previous Safari participants to illuminate self-worth in action. Drawing on more than eighteen years as a business coach, he provides a proven path to self-worth, on which we learn to build confidence, trust ourselves, and take a new lease on happiness and freedom."

An Other World: The Fight for Freedom, Joy, and Belonging

"We speak in we. A journey towards racial healing and the relationships that set us free. Addressing the leaders of today and tomorrow, An Other World alternates between heart-wrenching but hopeful letters to Hanif Fazal’s daughter Amina, reflections on Fazal’s formative life experiences and lessons on identity, Black and Brown relationships, and a unique type of freedom that could be available to all of us. In this moving blend of social commentary and memoir with a call to action, Fazal—co-founder of the Center for Equity and Inclusion—documents his journey towards Black and Brown joy, freedom, and belonging. This timely book traces Fazal’s relationships with Black and Brown family members, professional colleagues, and close friends as they attempt to thrive at home, school, and work in the all-consuming whiteness of Portland, Oregon, and the broader United States landscape. Fazal's youth involved a constant experience as the other in an all-white school system, breakdowns in family, and feeling split between his Mexican and Indian heritages. He went on to create programs that offered healing and belonging to BIPOC youth in schools and to BIPOC adults in the workplace. In An Other World, Fazal pinpoints how educational and professional diversity frameworks often perform surface-level inclusion but refuse to invest fully in the complex realities of their BIPOC learners and employees. He also stares down the myth of “making it” and invites BIPOC communities to reflect and redefine success on their own terms."

Dial Up the Dream: Make Your Daughter's Journey to Adulthood the Best—For Both of You

"This polished, inviting parenting guide illuminates the relationship between mothers and teen daughters.'—Publishers Weekly Your daughter is growing up, but you don’t have to grow apart. Picking up where her national bestseller, Dial Down the Drama, left off, Colleen O’Grady’s Dial Up the Dream supports you in navigating your daughter’s last days at home and her transition to adulthood. This emerging-adult stage can be even more stressful on both mother and daughter than the teen years, because the stakes are higher and the changes to the relationship more profound. This essential guidebook will validate what you are feeling and experiencing with your daughter right now as well as give you a road map for what’s coming. Dial Up the Dream will prepare moms for the three phases they will go through during the late teens and early twenties. The first goal is to preserve the relationship during senior year and not get preoccupied with the future, i.e. falling into the “college trap”. The second phase is when your daughter leaves home, whether it’s to live with roommates, travel, enter the workforce, try entrepreneurship, or go to college. As she gains her independence, you’re losing a job that’s defined you for nearly two decades. While she gets ceremonies and congratulations, there’s no accompanying ritual or even acknowledgment for the changes in your life. The third phase is letting go, which can trigger a “mom crisis.” O’Grady helps you get unstuck, make sense of your own story, reconnect with yourself and dial up your dream. The paradox is that when you dial up your own dream...you stay close to your daughter. In this book, you’ll learn: · Exactly what’s going on with your daughter emotionally and physiologically. And how to use this science-based knowledge to set realistic expectations · How to think about and navigate the many complex feelings in this journey for both you and your daughter · The most common emotional traps we moms get caught in during these years and how to avoid them altogether · Why it’s imperative to change your parenting role from monitor to trusted consultant—and how to do that· How to use this new phase in your daughter’s life to dial up your own dreams—and why doing so is imperative to your daughter’s development and to a having a vibrant, meaningful, lifelong mother-daughter relationship."

Western Waves

"I’d never met my father, but on the day he died, he left me a letter. He said he'd leave all of his millions to me if I completed the tasks on his list. The first task at hand? Move into the same household as Stella Lane, my new step-sister. Stella was cold. I was ice, too. Stella was lonely. I craved being alone. Stella didn't speak unless she had something to say. Each month, a new letter arrived with a new task. Each month, the tasks grew darker as more secrets of my past were revealed. Somehow every task circled back to the lonely girl living down the hall from me. Stella Lane didn't speak unless she had something to say. All I wanted was for her to have something to say to me."
