Kiyosaki expands on his belief that the school system was created to churn out 'Es' / Employees... those A Students who read well, memorize well and test well... and not the creative thinkers, visionaries and dreamers -entrepreneurs-in-the-making... those C Students who grow up to be the innovators and creators of new ideas, businesses, applications and products.

The book urges parents not to be obsessed with their kids' letter grades (good grades might only mean they or the student themselves were successful in jamming a square peg into a round hole...) and focus, instead, on concepts, ideas, and helping their child find their true genius, their special gift. The path they can pursue with a love and true passion.

Robert showcases success stories of C Students who grew up to be phenomenal successes - and HIRED those A Students(attorneys, accountants, and other school-smart specialists) to work in their businesses... while the more average students, B Students, often find themselves in government-type jobs...

Not surprisingly, Kiyosaki will coin his own definitions of what A, B, and C stand for as he gives parents and their children bits of wisdom as well as insights and tools for navigating an ever-changing world... an Information Age world where the ability to change and adapt, understand relationships, and anticipate the future will shape their lives.

Conflict is inevitable, in everyday life and especially in today's increasingly nonhierarchical organizations-in the workplace. So what has always been a key leadership skill, conflict resolution, has become even more critical. But too often, leaders receive little formal training in conflict resolution, and they struggle just to manage the simplest interpersonal conflicts. By using the lessons of this book, readers will be able to apply a thorough, proven method-summarized in ten steps-for resolving conflicts. Following these steps, leaders can analyze a conflict and move toward its resolution with more assurance of a positive outcome for everyone involved.

Economics is the science that deals with the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services, or the material welfare of humankind. Although relatively few men and women make a living from studying, explaining, or teaching its principles, economics affects every human being on a daily basis. Why do some people struggle just to survive, while others live in luxury? Is a free-market economy really better than a command economy? What makes certain items more valuable than others? You'll discover the answers to these questions and more in Practical & Foundational Economics. Designed around the national economics standards, Zeezok Publishing's Practical & Foundational Economics provides a solid foundation for life and future economic studies. The carefully crafted text and hands-on approach to economic principles makes the subject matter interesting and applicable to the student. Every lesson provides real-life situations and opportunities for the student to use the knowledge they are acquiring in unique and memorable ways. Practical & Foundational Economics emphasizes critical-thinking skills and evaluation of historical and contemporary economic events. It strikes a balance between success in this life and the wisdom of investing in things of eternal value. With the United States teetering on the brink of economic disaster, it's time for a return to our capitalist roots and the biblical economic principles that made us a great nation. By doing so, we can continue to experience God's blessing on our republic. Zeezok Publishing's Practical & Foundational Economics is a great way to start the journey home

Need to run a workshop? Your attendees are trusting you with their time and attention. What are you giving them in return?

Most workshops don't work. They fail to deliver real results and they fail to keep the audience energetic and engaged. They're stressful to run and painful to attend.

Designing and running a brilliant workshop is easier than you think. It's not about flashy showmanship or natural charisma. Instead, it's about following a set of clear, simple rules for structuring and arranging the day.

Discover and use key design principles such as:

• Naturally refresh and maintain the audience's attention and energy by alternating the teaching format (e.g. lecture, small group discussion, hands-on practice) every 20 minutes and making strategic use of good breaks
• Dramatically improve your educational impact by choosing an exercise which is properly matched to the type of knowledge/skill/wisdom currently being taught
• Save dozens of hours by beginning your design process with a simple skeleton of Learning Outcomes and timings rather than jumping straight into slides and materials
• Finish on time, every time, by intentionally designing flexible schedule springs into your session, allowing you to seamlessly adjust to delays and bad luck, and to ensure that everyone learns what they came for without running late

The first half of the book covers everything you'll need to know about designing and refining the session itself. With a good design in hand, teaching a brilliant workshop goes from arduous to nearly automatic.

The second half of the book shifts from ahead-of-time design to day-of facilitation.

Learn the essential facilitation needed to solve unexpected problems and run a smooth, stress-free workshop:

• Reliable tools and tactics for crowd control, recovering attention, and shifting between tasks (without feeling like you're fighting against your audience)
• Clear guidance for picking the best room setup, and also improving a bad room to make the most of it
• Spotting and problem-solving the six major types of difficult attentees who are being either accidentally or intentionally disruptive (including the most common issue of bringing a hostile expert onto your side)
• Checklists and reminders of what to bring, what to do, and when to do it, in order to ensure that nothing gets forgotten, overlooked, or lost

At no point in the book will we ask you to put on a big smile or project confidence. That's fluffy BS which doesn't work. Instead, we'll give you clear, concrete tools for managing a crowd and seamlessly guiding everyone to an effective outcome.

Why we're the right authors to help you succeed

Over the last 15 years, we've designed and run a huge number of successful workshops (and a few major flops) covering every type of audience: executives, undergrads, MBAs, disadvantaged youths, busy professionals, and more. We've designed everything from 20-minute teasers to 3-month intensives, in locations ranging from Costa Rica and Qatar to London and Berlin.

We've taught for companies like HP and Deloitte and for universities like Oxford and NYU. We've built workshops for every price point, from free upskilling (paid for by the state or employer) through to $4000-per-seat premium events. We've taught casual sessions, with beer in hand and flip-flop on foot, through to formal, posh affairs with glitzy venues and high-end catering. In every case, no matter where it was located or who it was for, the process outlined in these pages worked.

Perhaps most importantly, we can teach you how to do this. We've trained up teachers from scratch who are now billing upwards of $5000 per day and getting invited back to teach again and again. This stuff isn't complicated.

School systems nationwide are struggling to excel as they lurch from crisis to crisis-teacher shortages, school shootings, high turnover rates, weak discipline systems, and more. These things can pull the focus of school boards away from why school systems exist: to educate students.

airick journey crabill has a track record of helping school systems improve student literacy, numeracy, and career- and college-readiness rates while simultaneously strengthening the school's financial and operational standing. Great on Their Behalf is your practical guide to igniting the transformation of your school board and enabling it to create the conditions for improving what students know and are able to do.

Step by step, the exercises in this book inspire board members to adopt a student-outcomes-focused mindset as they reevaluate their impact on those they serve. It challenges them to explore effective ways to focus on what students need. Then, it provides the necessary knowledge and skills for school boards to empower their students for success.

*The Chief of Staff: An Insider's Perspective to Becoming a Strategic Partner in the Executive Suite* by Anne Marie Otanez provides an in-depth exploration of the multifaceted role of a Chief of Staff (CoS) in modern organizations. The book is structured as both a guide and a reference for individuals who aspire to serve in this capacity, as well as for those currently in the role seeking to enhance their effectiveness. The Chief of Staff, as presented in the book, serves as a strategic partner, advisor, and operational leader, tasked with ensuring the smooth execution of executive-level goals while navigating the complexities of organizational dynamics.

Otanez draws from her personal experiences as a CoS to outline the responsibilities and expectations associated with the position. She emphasizes that the role is deeply collaborative and requires a blend of operational acumen, leadership skills, and emotional intelligence. A key theme throughout the book is the notion of the CoS as a force multiplier, someone who amplifies the impact of the executive by managing priorities, addressing conflicts, and fostering alignment across departments.

The book is divided into several sections, each focusing on core competencies such as strategic planning, decision-making, communication, and leadership. Otanez delves into the importance of mastering operational excellence-ensuring that all processes run smoothly and efficiently-and developing strong partnerships within the organization. The ability to anticipate challenges, think critically, and adapt quickly in ambiguous environments is presented as central to the role's success.

Otanez also highlights the CoS's role in handling vulnerability fatigue, managing the emotional and interpersonal demands of high-stakes environments, and maintaining a balance between personal well-being and professional responsibilities. She stresses the importance of building trust with executives and peers, as this trust serves as the foundation for effective collaboration and influence.

Key pillars of the CoS role, such as the ability to act as a trusted advisor, a liaison between teams, and a gatekeeper of the executive's time and priorities, are explored in detail. Additionally, the book addresses common challenges that Chiefs of Staff face, such as managing ambiguity, handling difficult conversations, and making decisions with limited information. Otanez provides actionable tips and strategies for overcoming these challenges, drawing on real-world examples from her career.

Throughout the book, Otanez emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and self-improvement. She encourages Chiefs of Staff to remain adaptable, build robust internal networks, and continuously refine their skills to stay ahead in the fast-paced world of executive leadership. The book concludes with practical tools, including checklists and frameworks, to help Chiefs of Staff excel in their roles and drive long-term organizational success.

With its blend of practical advice, personal anecdotes, and professional insights, *The Chief of Staff: An Insider's Perspective* is an essential resource for anyone looking to understand or advance in the CoS role, offering a blueprint for becoming a strategic partner in the executive suite.

This radical and rigorous rethinking of the traditional MBA program combines solid business principles with a commitment to environmental and social justice.

Many current and aspiring entrepreneurs are looking for a solid business education that also deeply aligns with their progressive values. Based on a course field-tested with over 500 students, this book fills that gap. It covers traditional topics such as business strategy and structure, finance, marketing, recruiting, and branding from a socially just and environmentally regenerative perspective. And it also touches on topics such as strategies to reverse climate change, nonviolent communication, self-managing organizations, locally self-reliant economies, racial justice, and more.

Traditional MBA programs are based on outdated principles that were developed during the Industrial Revolution--and they can be hugely expensive. Sustainable MBA programs, while laudable, are too incremental to make a sufficient impact. The Next Economy MBA is for entrepreneurs seeking to make business an active force for good. It draws on the authors' experience of working with over 300 social enterprises, from small organizations like Winona's Hemp and Heritage Farm to household names like Ben & Jerry's and Patagonia.

Our current economy, what the authors call the Business as Usual Economy, has created a massive wealth gap, a climate crisis, racial division, and needless housing, food, and healthcare shortages. This book shows how businesses can pave the way to a Next Economy that meets the basic needs of all people and restores and protects the planetary ecosystem.

Veteran childcare business owner Tori J. Brown's journey into the childcare sector was born from personal struggle. As a teen mother, she was faced with the overwhelming challenge of finding affordable, high-quality childcare for her daughter and became a teacher to help provide her with better education opportunities.
