"Karol Charles does not have time for ghosts. It's Christmas Eve and she's at the office. Sure, her kids thought she'd be making cookies with them back at home, but this is important. This is what it means to 'have it all.' Then, a familiar cough from the adjacent room jolts her out of her work. It can't be possible. Marley is dead. She has been for years. With Marley's death, Karol is now running their law firm by herself. But she still strives to live by her best friend and law partner's creed: The job makes the money and the money buys the things that make your family happy. Working all the time is a sacrifice Karol has made willingly. However, Karol's life takes a drastic turn when she falls outside of Rockefeller Center and has to be hospitalized. But something is wrong with this hospital. There's a ghost in the waiting room and another magical visitor in the lobby. With them, Karol revisits long-forgotten memories and begins to unravel the truth about her current situation--and a future that is anything but cheery and bright. In this modern twist on Dickens's A Christmas Carol, Karol's journey through her past, present, and future reveals a difficult yet liberating truth: It is far better to have what matters than to have it all"--

Written as a business allegory, Game of Teams: Discover How to Become a Collaborative Leader, is a story about team collaboration and the importance of coaching to become a collaborative leader. Author, Winsor Jenkins, introduces an innovative, yet practical methodology to support the development of team leaders seeking to become collaborative leaders who must develop teams to effectively collaborated and produce positive results. In a world demanding management innovation to solve complex challenges, the significance of collaboration cannot be underestimated. Defined as a marked departure from customary organizational forms that alters the ways in which the work of management Is performed, it's described herein as an operating framework. Embedded in this framework are several team principles and essential competencies to support leader and team development. Here, the book leverages the team platform introduced in my first book, The Collaborator, where our global business world is compared to the game of soccer, an environment where people must effectively collaborate to succeed. The principles come from the game of soccer and mirror a successful soccer team's behavior on the field. Competencies are aligned with these principles; applied they describe a collaborative skill set. As the story unfolds, we follow the learning and development journey of a newly promoted team manager, Jim Hernandez. He is confronted with the need to develop a nonperforming team. And he must develop a collaborative mind-set and skill set - all in real time to effectively lead his team to collaborate and succeed. With the help of an external coach, Toni Burns, he embarks on a journey that challenges his commitment and confidence to become a collaborative leader. As a trained coach, she helps him progress along his developmental pathway, providing team principles, essential competencies, best practices, along with established and trusted models. Combined, these provide a framework for her to coach Jim, build his commitment and competence, and develop a collaborative mind-set and skill set to crack the collaboration code and succeed. Part business allegory and part handbook, this resource reveals why team leaders (and teams) often fail to effectively collaborate. Winsor offers a powerful methodology for overcoming this shortfall to enable team leaders and their teams to succeed.

A NATIONAL BESTSELLERWSJ BestsellerUSA Today BestsellerPublishers Weekly BestsellerFacing public criticism, peer hostility, and widespread disapproval, would you compromise your principles to blend in with the crowd, or would you stand for what you believe?On July 31, 2020, the Orlando Magic starting forward Jonathan Isaac was the lone NBA player not to kneel for the national anthem amid a league-wide demonstration in support of Black Lives Matter. Standing alone, knowing the scrutiny to come, Jonathan had a peace he at one time never could have imagined possible. In Why I Stand, Jonathan shares the journey of how—through a series of divine connections and a willingness to follow Christ—his fear and insecurity-driven life was transformed into one of confidence and purpose. From his childhood in the Bronx to his high school years in Florida, from rail-skinny freshman at FSU to top draft pick in the NBA, Jonathan uses his life story to illuminate the freedom and peace found in the love of Jesus Christ. More than the story of an NBA player’s transformation from man on the court to man of God, Why I Stand is a testament to His love, power, and grace that extends to us all. This book is a discovery that no matter your level of confidence today, God’s strength will develop in your weakness. That courage is found in trusting that God is greater than your fears. As Jonathan takes you through the experiences that drove his decisions, he offers insight and inspiration to help you to grow to a point where standing alone is better than not standing at all. This is the story behind the stand.

“Fiery, but mostly peaceful protests after police shooting.”“It’s Not, Generally Speaking, Unruly.”CHOP was an Important Experiment in Democracy.”In the summer of 2020, America was under siege by radical ANTIFA actors across the country.  But if you were only reading mainstream headlines, you probably have no idea just how bad it really was. As homes and businesses were being burned to the ground and livelihoods were being destroyed, corporate media engaged in a full-scale attempt to gaslight the American people, pushing Orwellian narratives about the violent riots by mislabeling them as peaceful, democratic demonstrations, all seemingly to bolster their biased political views. But one intrepid reporter was on the ground at all the major riots and witnessed what really happened — and is telling the full story for the first time.In his explosive new book, Julio Rosas presents the definitive account of what really happened that summer, exposing the truth behind countless misleading headlines and taking readers inside the shocking and heartbreaking destruction the media refused to cover. Rosas’ groundbreaking reporting of the biggest and most destructive riots that gripped the nation in recent memory — including Kenosha, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, and more — decisively uproots the prevailing bogus narratives about destructive woke mobs and sheds much-needed light on the truth about what happened. Small businesses and citizens of targeted cities are still sifting through the rubble left behind by rioters while the media continues to turn a blind eye. Rosas’ shocking account highlights the ways in which this fallout continues to haunt and devastate communities even to this day. Thrilling, suspenseful, and packed cover-to-cover with jaw-dropping facts and never-before-told eyewitness accounts, Fiery but Mostly Peaceful pulls back the curtain and sets the record straight on a series of radical events across the country that, despite the media’s attempts to convince Americans otherwise, were anything but peaceful.
