Wake Up! a Mid-Life Challenge by Roy C. Richards Pdf

Renewal for Men and Women In Their Thirties, Forties, Fifties and Beyond Are you among the millions of North Americans over age thirty-five burdened down by unfulfilled dreams, diminished expectations, an irrational fear of tomorrow and a stressful, uninspiring daily routine? Is your life at mid-stream far less than you had intended it to be? Our book, A Mid-Life Challenge-Wake Up , was written to restore joy, reestablish positive expectations and return a spirit of adventure to your life Almost by accident, the author awakened in the year 2000 to a highly positive realization: persons in their middle years need not abandon dreams of a fulfilling career, mutually beneficial personal relationships and a prosperous lifestyle precisely on their own terms. Indeed for most, middle age is an ideal time to reassess the present, creatively plan for the future and take control over life's direction. Unlike the author, readers need not endure thirty long years of "sleepwalking through life" or rely upon a once-in-a-lifetime chance inspiration. Based upon personal experience and observation of successful renewal "graduates", the author lays out a comprehensive step-by-step blueprint to reinvigorate life at mid-stream. This book will inspire any middle-aged woman or man earnestly committed to restoring positive emotions and reentering life's mainstream beginning this very day. The author Roy Richards is a motivational speaker and consultant and co-founder of the Middle Age Renewal Training Institute (MART.) His stated mission is to revitalize the life experience for dispirited men and women over age thirty-five. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota with a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Chicago, the author spent seventeen years climbing the corporate ladder with four major U. S. corporations. For the past fifteen years, he has thrived as a small business owner and entrepreneur. The author and his wife Gloria reside in Clive, Iowa, a suburb of Des Moines and are parents of two grown children, Kristen and Geoffrey. They share their home with an energetic English Springer Spaniel named Chips.

Why We Can't Sleep by Ada Calhoun Pdf

The acclaimed author explores the hidden crises of Gen X women in this “engaging hybrid of first-person confession, reportage [and] pop culture analysis” (The New Republic). Ada Calhoun was married with children and a good career—and yet she was miserable. She thought she had no right to complain until she realized how many other Generation X women felt the same way. What could be behind this troubling trend? To find out, Calhoun delved into housing costs, HR trends, credit card debt averages, and divorce data. At every turn, she saw that Gen X women were facing new problems as they entered middle age—problems that were being largely overlooked. Calhoun spoke with women across America who were part of the generation raised to “have it all.” She found that most were exhausted, terrified about money, under-employed, and overwhelmed. And instead of being heard, they were being told to lean in, take “me-time,” or make a chore chart to get their lives and homes in order. In Why We Can’t Sleep, Calhoun opens up the cultural and political contexts of Gen X’s predicament. She offers practical advice on how to ourselves out of the abyss—and keep the next generation of women from falling in. The result is reassuring, empowering, and essential reading for all middle-aged women, and anyone who hopes to understand them.

Wake Up Captian and Crew Restart Your Engines by Roy C. Richards Pdf

Renewal for Men and Women In Their Thirties, Forties, Fifties and Beyond Do you lead or participate in a collective enterprise which has grown old before its time? Lagging corporations, family businesses, governmental entities and private foundations dampen the spirits and drain energy from managers, employees and volunteers top to bottom. The author's second book, Wake Up Captain and Crew-Restart Your Engines , addresses leaders, formal and informal, intent upon revitalizing their stagnant or declining organizations from within. The author begins from the premise that sagging enterprises are best transformed by reigniting the creative energies and collective spirit of those presently on board. No matter how outstanding its products or services, any organization's primary asset is the combined talent, knowledge and imagination of on-board personnel. Rather than attempting to tear down and rebuild, today's outstanding leaders are able to inspire colleagues, subordinates or fellow volunteers to anticipate and adapt to a radically different, continually evolving positive culture of innovation. The author presents a five-fold formula designed to restore positive momentum to lagging organizations large and small: 1) early diagnosis and treatment of the symptoms of decline, 2) identification and evaluation of collective strengths, traditions and resources upon which to build, 3) inspirational exercises intended to revitalize the personal lives and careers of on-board participants, 4) merging of individual and collective objectives into fully engaged circles of cooperation and 5) empowerment and reward for every dedicated and capable contributor. The author Roy Richards is a motivational speaker, Business consultant, personal coach and co-founder of the Middle Age Renewal Training Institute (MART.) His stated mission is to revitalize lagging businesses and not-for-profit enterprises across North America at the same time reenergizing on-board leaders, employees and voulenteers. A Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota with a Masters in Business Administration from the University of Chicago, the author writes from the unique perspective of a thirty-six year business career, including seventeen years climbing the corporate ladder with four major U. S. corporations followed by nineteen years as a successful small business owner and entrepreneur.

Dare to Lead by Brené Brown Pdf

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she’s showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead. Don’t miss the five-part HBO Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart! NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don’t pretend to have the right answers; we stay curious and ask the right questions. We don’t see power as finite and hoard it; we know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don’t avoid difficult conversations and situations; we lean into vulnerability when it’s necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we’re choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we’re scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and AI can’t do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In this new book, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, “One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It’s learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It’s why we’re here.” Whether you’ve read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you’re new to Brené Brown’s work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership.

The Power of Soul Loving by Rebecca Gabrielle Pdf

Life is full of challenges that provide us with an opportunity to reflect on the choices that have brought us this far on our soul journey. Despite desiring answers to our deepest most introspective questions, we may hesitate to look inward for the answers, perhaps fearful of what we will hear within our soul. Yet even after we choose avoidance, our soul can be persistent, encouraging us to listen to the call of the Divine that urges us toward greater love. In an enlightening, uplifting presentation, Rebecca Gabrielle details her spiritual journey as she learned to acknowledge and accept the call of her soul to change the course of her life. While inviting others to walk with her on the path to true love, Rebecca reveals how her heart was opened to face her shadows and inner-truths, eventually compelling her to take a leap of faith towards a life of deeper love and spiritual awakening. The Power of Soul Loving is a spiritual guide for anyone ready to embrace personal transformation and soul growth. In sharing her story, Rebecca shines a light on how to face our fears, manage the discomfort of change, and shift towards compassion and self-love for a more fulfilling and purposeful life. One woman’s journey from despair to inner-freedom reveals the wisdom of our soul’s transformative power to unveil a life of true love.

The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown Pdf

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and new tools to make the work your own. For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way. Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.”

Waking Up by Sam Harris Pdf

For the millions of Americans who want spirituality without religion, Sam Harris’s latest New York Times bestseller is a guide to meditation as a rational practice informed by neuroscience and psychology. From Sam Harris, neuroscientist and author of numerous New York Times bestselling books, Waking Up is for the twenty percent of Americans who follow no religion but who suspect that important truths can be found in the experiences of such figures as Jesus, the Buddha, Lao Tzu, Rumi, and the other saints and sages of history. Throughout this book, Harris argues that there is more to understanding reality than science and secular culture generally allow, and that how we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the quality of our lives. Waking Up is part memoir and part exploration of the scientific underpinnings of spirituality. No other book marries contemplative wisdom and modern science in this way, and no author other than Sam Harris—a scientist, philosopher, and famous skeptic—could write it.

The Mid Life Crisis Survival Kit!! by Russell Wickens Pdf

Mid Life Crisis: that period when growing dissatisfactions lead to inevitable questions about the sustainability of our present place in the World and usually accompanied by a sudden encounter with the concept of our own mortality, can lead to a frightening conclusion - "Is this it...?!"

The rigours of this time - highly painful periods of personal re-evaluation and an uncompromising test of our true values - can leave us running aground in shallow waters of despair unless we have map and compass. This book provides both. Its world map helps the reader to understand his place in it and the coaching tools provide an opportunity to plot a route home -wherever that might be now. By the end of the book, the world will be a smaller and less frightening place as you find not just a path to understanding yourself better, but also the courage to express yourself authentically and with purpose.
