If you love fantastic stories, and don't mind a bit of squirming, Melanie Marshall has them for you right here. Find out what it was like to fly in the Himalayas and have a bee as a pet. When was the last time you hunted termites or came face-to-face with mad dogs? Ever get caught with your hand in the till and have to take some bitter medicine? (Don't do it.) Read about it instead. Meet a mouse that negotiates a truce between enemies!These are just a few of the stories that will steamroller you into disbelief. Pick any story. Be glad it never happened to you. Or, wish it had. Laugh and cringe in the same sentence. Go ahead, don't believe a single one. So what if they are true?Journey from Kathmandu, Nepal to Kensington, Maryland; Bobo Dioulasso Burkina Faso to the Swiss Alps and then to the ancient town of Carthage in Tunisia. Ladybug's perspective may be different, but the sentiment, faith and lessons from the school of hard knocks are not only touching, they are hard earned and remembered. And, best of all, hilarious.

Trust is the foundation of organisations and teams. We talk about it, complain when we don't have it, and watch its effect on the bottom line. Its absence makes headlines when organisations and leaders fall from grace, breaking the covenant they hold with clients and staff.Trust is so important that it appears in our visions and plans as essential for strategic and operational success. But how do we establish cultures of trust when individual interpretations and expectations can be so vastly different?This book shows how. It is a practical, evidence-based, call to action for positive organisational change and higher performance. Here you will learn about: - Overcoming the challenges for trust- Culture as a team sport- Obtaining freedom to deliver what matters- Leaving a legacy for sustainable success If you're seeking a realistic and adaptable approach for leading with trust, then this book is for you.

Been chased by mad dogs? Need a bat? Laugh and squirm in the same sentence. Pick any story. Be glad it never happened to you. Or, wish it had.
