The Graceful Exit by Mary C. Lindberg Pdf

Pastors say goodbye to congregations. Sometimes their goodbyes are timely and sweet; sometimes they are jarring and painful. But as they leave, they face a unique journey of grief, one shaped by their role. They face both the outward grief of leaving people behind and the inward grief of leaving an identity behind. In The Graceful Exit, Lutheran pastor Mary Lindberg shares insights from her experience of ending her service to a congregation, as well as wisdom from other pastors who have changed their life work. Lindberg invites readers to pull apart the strands of self and role, individual and community; confront regrets, confusion, and dislocation; and figure out where and who God is at this juncture in their lives. She offers the book she wishes someone had handed her about finding a new church home, about getting a life, about relating to the colleagues who stayed. She reflects on how to be a pastor in a non-pastoral role, how to find community, and how to be graceful in the midst of the awkward unknown. Lindberg acknowledges that as pastors leave congregations, they have to discern how to wrap up their ministry and get out the door without regrets. She recognizes that most pastors will struggle with the spiritual themes of fulfillment, surrender, community, legacy, and separation. But she also believes pastors can face these challenges together. The Graceful Exit invites them into a community of healing and shows them that God walks with them to a new place, even as God keeps on loving the place they have left.

Graceful Exits by Geri Reid Suster Pdf

Offers advice on how to handle various exits in life, from death and loss, to firings and breakups with empathy and humor. “Actually, Geri, it’s you. We have to let you go.” Hearing these words from my dear friend of more than 25 years over the phone on a sunny Friday afternoon left me shaking. It was a first for me – being at this end of a layoff. And it was a gut punch. Being on the receiving end of a layoff, Geri Reid Suster pondered her next steps and had an epiphany – life is full of exits. From school, from jobs, from relationships, and ultimately from life itself. And those transitions can be rocky or they can be handled with grace, honor, and humor. Still, most people struggle with such endings, getting mired down in thoughts of failure, grief, frustration, regret, and anger. Here, Suster shows readers how they can do better, be better, and live better through all of life’s goodbyes. Exits are going to happen whether we like it or not, so why not get good at them? How much time did you spend learning to walk, ride a bike, drive a car, and/or interview for a job? Why not spend a little time learning to approach exits with greater skill? An ugly exit not only leaves scars on everyone involved, but also adds to the psychological burden one carries long after the exit. On the other hand, a graceful exit is hard in the moment, but sets us up to feel lighter and healthier on the other side. Direct and full of advice and suggestions for next steps forward, Suster guides readers through the ups and downs of goodbyes, and carefully reveals the best methods for a smoother, more graceful transition.

Half-Retire by Jim Muehlhausen JD Pdf

Entrepreneur and business coach Jim Muehlhausen has turned his attention to the problems facing experienced business owners. Ten years ago, business owners turning sixty-five were not selling their businesses and retiring. As Jim researched the issues, he found that owners: 1) Simply could not afford to sell the company. 2) Wanted to stay active. 3) Wanted to maintain the business for the employees. By studying thousands of business owners, Jim saw a select few that had shifted from “working income” to “equity income.” Owners earned money by owning the business, not working in it. By collecting their best practices and augmenting them, Jim created the Half-Retire Blueprint. This step-by-step process helps business owners like you create a profitable alternative to selling your business via Half-Retirement, allowing you to shift your focus and find your balance. “Every business owner should consider Half-Retirement if they want to get full value for all their hard work.” —Wayne Breitbarth, Author of the bestseller The Power Formula for LinkedIn Success “Many business owners want to stay involved and active but can’t find a way to extricate themselves from day-to-day office demands. Half-Retire shows you how to transform your mindset, keep your relationships and your income, and work on your own terms.” —Bill Schley, Worldwide Marketing Expert, Author of The Micro-Script Rules “I’ve worked in the exit community for decades and have seen business owners struggle to sell their business for enough to retire comfortably. Half-Retirement is a great solution to help business owners enjoy life and increase wealth.” —Bill Black, Host of Exit Coach Radio

Rediscovering Muhammad Yunus by Mohammad Jabbar Pdf

In 2006, Bangladeshi economist Muhammad Yunus made history by bringing the Nobel Peace Prize home to the micro-finance institution he had pioneered, the Grameen Bank, based on the idea that micro-credit model was such a meaningful tool for poverty alleviation that it could contribute to true and lasting peace., This win would swiftly become mired in controversy. Yunus would go on to try and fail to enter electoral politics. He resigned from the position of the managing director of the bank amid controversy about the legality of holding that position for a decade beyond official retirement age and about the mode of creation and management of dozens of grameen affiliated enterprises. In a tight, thorough investigation, Rediscovering Muhammad Yunus takes a look at its eponymous figure and institution, detailing how Yunus came to found the Grameen Bank, win the Nobel Prize, and eventually find himself plagued by controversy. Author Mohammad Jabbar details the contending version of events, thoughtfully drawing out the fallacies of Yunus’s positions to reveal a much more complex, opaque story of what led to his departure from the bank—and the questions that have dogged him and his brainchild since. Whether or not they are familiar with Yunus’s story, this book is sure to interest those looking to enrich their understanding of development and economics—particularly as they relate to micro-finance and Bangladesh. It will make an excellent addition to the bookshelves of anyone interested in the shady underside of philanthropy, capitalist solutions to poverty, and the “development” of the so-called developing world.
