It was a day like any other, crystal blue sky and warm summer air, as young Nathan Spiteri walked into a change room at a familiar public swimming pool and experienced a turn of events that would alter his life forever. In his powerful and deeply vulnerable memoir, Spiteri dives into the trauma of being brutally abused, groomed and manipulated by the actions of a vicious paedophile. It is a ''coming-of-age'' story, a tour-de-force that ushers the reader into the world of abuse, addiction, sex, drugs and violence. In words poetic, as well as raw and real, Spiteri paints a stunning masterpiece of triumph over tragedy; a powerful canvas of self-discovery, therapeutic growth and self-love. Spiteri offers a cautionary tale for all parents who are raising children; and an anthem of survival for anyone who has suffered the difficulties of youth. In our search for a better life, Toy Cars proves that love and healing are possible.

From brilliant spins on children's rhymes to gut-punching mic-drops of truth to darkly funny dispatches from Rock Bottom, Gabbie’s poems are a front-row seat to the sideshow that is her mind: her fears, insecurities, and the battles she wages with herself and the universe on a daily basis that serve as cathartic mirrors to our own. Dandelion is for people looking to feel less alone, to laugh at the absurdity of being human, and to imagine that something beautiful can come of all this pain. Cry alone no more.
Are You Scaring Your People into Mediocrity? All leaders want to outperform, outsell, and outinnovate the competition. And most teams are fully capable of doing so. The problem: we consistently say and do things that spark unconscious fears and keep our people stuck in their Critter State. This primitive fight, flight, or freeze mode distills all decision making to one question: What will keep me safest? Lying low, sucking up, procrastinating, and doing a good enough job may keep employees breathing, but it doesn’t make for vital organizations. Leaders have to get their people unstuck and fully engaged, replacing their old, limiting mental patterns with new patterns that foster optimal...
