Learn what the best speakers do and don't do, and communicate with more confidence in both formal and informal situations, with audiences big and small. Before you got into leadership, did you expect you'd be doing so much speaking? It seems you're always talking—in faculty meetings and one-on-one evaluations; in PD sessions and department meetings; at parents' night and awards ceremonies; to colleagues, supervisors, and the school board; and in front of dozens or hundreds or just a webcam and a ring light.

Moments of inspired visions, hard work, and being with gentle souls, mold us by giving us energy to move and change. In physics, a "moment" is defined as the effect of a force that causes an object to turn around a chosen pivot point. This perfectly describes the ideas expressed in Moments from the Side Yard. Life is about the effects of forces that help us see the world from multiple points of view -- moments that bring us joy and moments that make us reconsider our current situations. Taking time to absorb the energy of the moment is what lifts us, holds us up when the spinning gets too fast. Staying anchored to a pivot point keeps us from flying off course, reminds us to stay true to ourselves. My side yard is my pivot point. What is yours? In Moments from the Side Yard, each painting is followed by a poem and each poem by a journal prompt with pages for you to write your own thoughts. I hope you find energy in the forces that move you and a pivot point from which to mind your moments.
A monumental novel capturing how one man comes to terms with the mutable past. 'A masterpiece... I would urge you to read - and re-read ' Daily Telegraph **Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction** Tony Webster and his clique first met Adrian Finn at school. Sex-hungry and book-hungry, they would navigate the girl-less sixth form together, trading in affectations, in-jokes, rumour and wit. Maybe Adrian was a little more serious than the others, certainly more intelligent, but they all swore to stay friends for life. Now Tony is retired. He's had a career and a single marriage, a calm divorce. He's certainly never tried to hurt anybody. Memory, though, is imperfect. It can always throw up surprises, as a lawyer's letter is about to prove.
