Winner of the 2022 Living Now Book Award for Health/WellnessFeatured In The Washington Post's "10 Books To Read In May 2021"A surprisingly open memoir co-authored by the married duo of a world class oncologist and a cancer survivor about love, pain, hope, strength and resilience while navigating the overwhelming breast cancer advocacy movement. Off Our Chests recounts the story of Liza and John’s experience with her diagnosis and treatment. Written in alternating voices, Liza details her treatment, the complex decisions she had to make throughout her course of chemotherapy and radiation, including clinical trial participation and an elective double mastectomy, the added complexity of being treated at the cancer center of which John was the chief of hematology and oncology, and the emotional impact of knowing she may die as a young woman with young children.John, who lost his own mother to cancer at the age of 13, provides an inside look into the world of cancer care and research, but also the perspective of someone who understands the medicine but who was unprepared for assuming the role of caregiver and worried husband. John adds insights into his world of running the clinical operations of the cancer center where Liza would receive her care, commentary on the breast cancer machine, the need for clinical research, the high cost of cancer care, and an easy to understand explanation of the clinical and scientific background of oncology.While they both felt that they were already expert commentators on their own “Cancer Channel” during the course of Liza's illness, they both came to realize how little understanding they truly had of what a cancer diagnosis does to the patient, caregivers, children, family members, and friends. Liza and John share their most intimate thoughts, including many that were previously unsaid—even between the two of them. Both gain an understanding of the other’s life, a deeper appreciation of what it means to be a cancer patient, and of the emotional strains of being an oncologist where so many of the patients die on their watch.

“An essential guide to the engine that drives the early adoption of disruptive innovations.”--Geoffrey Moore, Author, Crossing the Chasm and Zone to WinHOW COMPANIES CAN VAULT AHEAD BY DEVELOPING, MARKETING, AND DELIVERING SUPERIOR EXPERTISE“Thought leadership” is now a core part of the business lexicon. Numerous corporate websites devote whole sections to it. Entire conferences are built around it (TED and the World Economic Forum as the most exclusive ones). It’s at the center of sophisticated, high-ticket PR campaigns. Thousands of people are making careers of it. And companies from Fidelity Investments, Adobe and Cigna to PwC, Accenture and Spotify have people in charge of it.Interest in the field of thought leadership is white hot -- just like the buzz created by illustrious thought leaders when they bring groundbreaking ideas to market. So it’s about time the topic of thought leadership itself got a substantive treatment. In Competing on Thought Leadership, Robert Buday boldly delivers it. He defines thought leadership concretely: as the acclaim that a firm or a person earns for developing, marketing and delivering superior expertise in solving complex customer problems. And he defines it broadly -- as a business strategy, not just a marketing strategy. Buday also brings to bear his client work and research since the 1980s in helping companies and individuals inside them become known worldwide as leading experts in their field, which in turn has increased their revenue and profit multifold. This book focuses on how businesses that sell services and products to other businesses can thrive on thought leadership. It takes the lessons learned at some of the best firms in the world at selling expertise – consulting, accounting, law, financial services and technology firms – and makes them practical for every B2B firm. Yet the principles of Competing on Thought Leadership apply to all organizations – for-profit and non-profit alike -- that must demonstrate superior expertise in solving complex problems. Consumer companies, charitable foundations and other organizations, too, can benefit greatly from adopting these best practices in thought leadership.

It's the age-old issue facing sales organizations. Sales training and enablement is focused on the sales team, not the leaders. The prevailing thought is if you have graduated to sales leadership, you must already know what you're doing, otherwise you wouldn't have been promoted into the role. For most sales leaders, their approach is borne from experiences working for and around other sales leaders. No formal training. No framework. Limited understanding of how individual salespeople are inspired to stay, do their best, and advocate to others. Hitting a revenue target is not the job, it's the outcome. The inspiration of your team is only "coin operated" if you're doing it wrong.But there's good news!Sales leadership doesn't have to be that hard. There's a massive opportunity to stand out from the rest; to be more prepared, more effective and to maximize the revenue capacity of your teams. And in today's environment, where the physical and emotional cost of changing sales jobs is practically non-existent, the ability to recruit, retain and optimize has never been more important. The Transparent Sales Leader challenges long-held sales leadership standards, providing a modern, cards-face-up, science-backed, easy-to-implement framework for today's sales leaders.Todd Caponi, author of The Transparency Sale, brings the science of transparency and intrinsic inspiration to the pages of this book, in a simple-to-understand-and-implement structure to help you get the job, plan, strategize and communicate to your team, your bosses, and even your board. In the end, you'll see the holes before they form. You'll stop chasing, and start growing.
