In his popular Stanford University lectures, Shirzad Chamine reveals how to achieve one's true potential for both professional success and personal fulfillment. His groundbreaking research exposes ten well-disguised mental Saboteurs. Nearly 95 percent of the executives in his Stanford lectures conclude that these Saboteurs cause significant harm to achieving their true potential. With Positive Intelligence, you can learn the secret to defeating these internal foes. Positive Intelligence (PQ)SM measures the percentage of time your mind is serving you as opposed to sabotaging you. While your IQ and EQ (emotional intelligence) contribute to your maximum potential, it is your PQ that determines how much of that potential you actually achieve.

The great news is that you can improve your PQ significantly in as little as 21 days. With higher PQ, teams and professionals ranging from leaders to salespeople perform 30 to 35 percent better on average. Importantly, they also report being far happier and less stressed. The breakthrough tools and techniques in this book have been refined over years of coaching hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. Shirzad tells many of their remarkable stories, showing how you too can take concrete steps to unleash the vast, untapped powers of your mind.

Discover how to
- Identify and conquer your top Saboteurs. Common Saboteurs include the Judge, Controller, Victim, Avoider, and Pleaser.
- Measure the Positive Intelligence score (PQ) for yourself or your team--and see how close you come to the critical tipping point required for peak performance.
- Increase PQ dramatically in as little as 21 days.
- Develop new brain muscles, and access 5 untapped powers with energizing mental power games.
- Apply PQ tools and techniques to increase both performance and fulfillment. Applications include team building, mastering workload, working with difficult people, improving work/life balance, reducing stress, and selling and persuading.

Buffalo is literally a walkable encyclopedia of amazing --architecture, told through the works of internationally renowned masters such as Frank Lloyd Wright; Louis Sullivan; H. H. Richardson; Daniel Burnham; McKim, Mead, & White; Eliel and Eero Saarinen; and dozens of great local architects, including E.B. Green and Louise Blanchard Bethune.

These masterworks are framed by the radial street plan designed by Joseph Ellicott and a series of parks and parkways implemented by Frederick Law Olmsted and his partner Calvert Vaux.

This result is a legacy of stately, beautiful, and innovative architecture that's delightful in both form and function. It's a rich inheritance for a city rediscovering its past and redefining its future.

We all know how it feels when our colleagues talk about us but not to us. It's frustrating, and it creates tension. When effective communication is missing in the workplace, employees feel like they're working in the dark. Leaders don't have crucial conversations; managers are frustrated when outcomes are not what they expect; and employees often don't get positive feedback or constructive feedback.

Many of us remain passive against poor communication habits and communication barriers, hoping that business communication will miraculously improve--but it won't. Business communication and relationships won't improve without skills and effort.

The people you work with can work with you, around you, or against you. How people work with you depends on the business relationships you cultivate. Do your colleagues trust you? Can they speak openly to you when projects and tasks go awry? Do you have effective communication skills?

Take charge of your career by eliminating communication barriers and taking charge of your business relationships. Make your work environment less tense and more productive by improving communication skills. Set relationship expectations, work with people how they like to work, and give positive feedback and constructive feedback.

In How to Say Anything to Anyone, you'll learn how to:

- ask for what you want at work
- improve communication skills
- strengthen all types of working relationships
- reduce the gossip and drama in your office
- tell people when you're frustrated and have difficult conversations in a way that resonates
- take action on your ideas and feelings
- get honest positive feedback and constructive feedback on your performance

Harley shares the real-life stories of people who have struggled to get what they want at work. With her clear and specific business communication roadmap in hand, Harley enables you to improve communication skills and create the career and business relationships you really want--and keep them.

A book of six long poems about dysfunctional and abusive relationships, cruelty, placation, beauty products, skin rashes, gender, and intoxication, TACT reveals how humans tiptoe through their orbits around one another, how magnetism is measured by will. Duffy locates meaning in existence by scoffing at it, finding the purpose being to clear one of one's self, to make room again.

Utilizing my conflicting truths and heartfelt inspirational reflections to heal and connect God's family

I wish to transform millions of lives: moving people from fear to faith and understanding, bringing healing, embracing, and allowing the love of self first.

This is a collection of the many emotions that I battled with for years, including while I was depressed and suffering from heartache, amongst other things. It is not meant for you to read this book as a chapter book, reading from cover to cover, chapter to chapter, from the beginning to the end. I purposely wrote it so that you could go directly to the table of contents and locate the chapter title that resonates with you and where you are in your journey in life right now. After you read over the titles of the chapters, you will know exactly where you need to begin your healing journey.

The authors share three critical performance drivers, along with the four high-growth activities that coaches must execute to build a team that is motivated to achieve at the highest levels. Through both hard data and rich stories, Eckstrom and Wirth demonstrate how leaders can measure and improve their coaching to lead their teams to better results.

The Coaching Effect will help leaders at all levels understand the necessity of challenging people out of their comfort zone to create a high-growth organization. Leaders will learn how they can develop trust relationships, drive accountability and leverage growth experiences to propel their team members to the highest levels of success.

In this new edition, based on new research and double the survey data, ENGAGEMENT MAGIC provides you with an expert approach to increasing workplace engagement.

Discover how to engage employees (and yourself) more effectively.
Most leaders understand that engaged employees are passionate about their jobs and deliver better results, and most of us know what it's like to either be engaged or disengaged in a workplace where we spend most of our waking hours. Yet, most don't understand how engagement really works. Maylett introduces you to the five MAGIC keys of employee engagement--Meaning, Autonomy, Growth, Impact, and Connection--and discusses how leaders can help employees achieve higher levels of engagement, while engaging ourselves in the journey as well.

Learn tactics for increasing engagement at all levels of your organization.
Based on the most extensive employee engagement survey database of its kind, ENGAGEMENT MAGIC incorporates organizational research with updated case studies, stories, and examples to present you with practical solutions for creating an extraordinary employee experience. In addition, Maylett provides a self-assessment, thought-provoking questions, and specific applications for individuals, managers, and organizations.

Benefit from a psychological approach to fundamental business concepts.
​Based on data from over 32 million employee survey responses across 70 countries, ENGAGEMENT MAGIC combines principles of psychology and human motivation with solid business concepts, providing actionable advice for reducing attrition, encouraging initiative, and driving profitable growth at your organization.

As they instill these more effective behaviors throughout the organization, Encore begins to solve problems collectively, prioritize resources without infighting, and focus on the initiatives with the greatest strategic value. When the financial crisis of 2008-09 forces 90 percent of its competitors out of business, Encore thrives, with its profits increasing by 300 percent and its stock price by 1200 percent. Told from two lively first-person perspectives, Ego Free Leadership brings readers along for Encore's incredible success story. They'll see a CEO overcome his unconscious resistance to modeling the change he wants in his team and discover a time-tested roadmap for eliminating the destructive effects of the ego in teams and organizations.

Architecture truly is a continuum. So many of the structures we see on our streets stretch thematic roots back to the temples, monuments, and places of ancient sanctity of humanity's earliest sacred expressions, and, like an ancient church, the best of them still have an indefinable grip over the imagination.

So much more than a collection of ghost stories, Buffalo's Occult Architecture, Volume 1, is a stunning analysis of some of the Niagara's grand builders and buildings from occult perspectives: sacred geometry, mystical interests, archaeoastronomy, esoteric geology-geomancy-First Nations- and world mysticism, and, yes, supernatural folklore.

Buffalo is a gallery for the great designers, and Buffalo's Occult Architecture presents a radical new aspect of its study.

Culture Is Everything

​A good leader builds and establishes a company culture people want to be a part of. A transformational leader elevates that, cultivating a culture in which everyone--throughout the organization--is empowered to use their talents to live and work at their best. As the chairman and CEO of Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States, J. Frank Harrison III knows firsthand the importance of not only prioritizing culture but also living out and modeling the values that drive it. He believes every person in an organization matters and how they are led matters just as much.

With a company that employs over sixteen thousand people, Harrison understands that real culture transformation takes great effort, intention, and courage and also humility and generosity. His book is about teaching leaders how to engage in meaningful work with people, inspire a culture of genuine care, and mobilize everyone around a purpose that not only transcends the everyday work they do but also informs it. Harrison integrates faith with work and demonstrates a revolutionary approach to leadership, modeled after the heart of God.
