The 50 Year-Old Millennial
In The 50 Year-Old Millennial, business strategist Marc Petitpas delivers a leadership masterclass driven by a radical proposition: a new culture of servant leadership is the perfect framework to recruit, mentor, educate and promote the talent that will drive business. Millennials, Marc writes, are absolutely correct in demanding a workplace in which their career path is clearly delineated, where they are given consistent feedback and recognized for excellence. The 50 Year-Old Millennial proposes five anchors to install, maintain and renew a servant leadership workplace. 1. How to manage the pivotal connection meeting. 2. How to run short, powerful weekly coaching sessions. 3. How to coach employees on the shop floor. 4. How to shape and implement strategies for personal development. 5. How to sharpen employee results through performance review. Part manifesto, part handbook and always wholly entertaining, The 50 Year-Old Millennial will reshape the way you look at work.
The Girl and the Game
In the second edition of this groundbreaking social history, M. Ann Hall begins with an important new chapter on Aboriginal women and early sport and ends with a new chapter tying today's trends and issues in Canadian women's sport to their origins in the past. Students will appreciate the more descriptive chapter titles and the restructuring of the book into easily digestible sections. Fifty-two images complement Hall's lively narrative.
The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends
Winner of the 2023 Brian McConnell Book Award from the International Society for Contemporary Legend Research In the last fifty years, folklorists have amassed an extraordinary corpus of contemporary legends including the “Choking Doberman,” the “Eaten Ticket,” and the “Vanishing Hitchhiker.” But what about the urban legends of the past? These legends and tales have rarely been collected, and when they occasionally appear, they do so as ancestors or precursors of the urban legends of today, rather than as stories in their own right. In The Nail in the Skull and Other Victorian Urban Legends, Simon Young fills this gap for British folklore (and for the wider English-speaking world...
Where'd You Go, Bernadette
A misanthropic matriarch leaves her eccentric family in crisis when she mysteriously disappears in this "whip-smart and divinely funny" novel that inspired the movie starring Cate Blanchett (New York Times). Bernadette Fox is notorious. To her Microsoft-guru husband, she's a fearlessly opinionated partner; to fellow private-school mothers in Seattle, she's a disgrace; to design mavens, she's a revolutionary architect; and to 15-year-old Bee, she is her best friend and, simply, Mom. Then Bernadette vanishes. It all began when Bee aced her report card and claimed her promised reward: a family trip to Antarctica. But Bernadette's intensifying allergy to Seattle -- and people in general -- has made her so agoraphobic that a virtual assistant in India now runs her most basic errands. A trip to the end of the earth is problematic. To find her mother, Bee compiles email messages, official documents, and secret correspondence -- creating a compulsively readable and surprisingly touching novel about misplaced genius and a mother and daughter's role in an absurd world.
Hvor ble du av, Bernadette
Når Bee på 15 krever en familietur til Antarktis som belønning for toppkarakterene sine, går moren Bernadette, lynskarp men med angst for åpne plasser, energisk i gang med forberedelsene. Etter hvert som den ene katastrofen følger den andre, forsvinner hun, og familien må plukke opp bitene. HVOR BLE DU AV, BERNADETTE er en forfriskende og underholdende roman om hvor vanskelig det kan være å passe inn i de sosiale rammene. Det er også en rørende og varm fortelling om et misforstått geni og en mor og datters forhold i en absurd verden. Maria Semple (f.1964), har bodd og arbeidet i Los Angeles i 15 år. Hun har vært manusforfatter for en lang rekke suksessrike TV-serier, blant andre Ellen, Saturday Night Live, Arrested Development og Beverly Hills 90210. I dag bor hun i Seattle med sin familie.
The Women Who Changed Country Australia
A compelling and thoroughly researched account of the CWA of NSW - its beginnings, its remarkable achievements and the indomitable women who have driven each one of its many successes. In 1922 a group of determined women from both the city and the country joined forces to change the lives of Australian families in the bush. Many had found their voices campaigning for the right to vote. Now they had no intention of sitting quietly at home while women and children suffered and died in their thousands from preventable causes. One hundred years on, the iconic Country Women's Association is famous for making scones, stitching handicrafts and raising money for worthy causes. But there is so much m...
