Everything you've been told about leadership over the past thirty years no longer applies. The world has changed, and so has everything we know about becoming and remaining an effective leader particularly when it comes to keeping your top talent! The effective leaders of tomorrow will do one thing--Keep Top Millennial Talent. Finding and keeping extraordinary talent will be what determines which organizations thrive and which ones fade off into oblivion in the immediate future. Don't believe it? Then consider that the average company spends 1.5 to 2 times the annual salary of an employee in training and development. Meanwhile, the average millennial employee is only looking at a tenure of two and a half years... at the outside. That employee will walk away before your investment ever pays off! What's worse--the employee you have invested in will take the skills and training that you paid for, and leverage them into a better position with your competitor.
In this book Dov Baron lays out the strategies for not only keeping your top talent, but have them become Fiercely Loyal. It could likely be the most important thing to happen to leadership and human resources in a hundred years...read it and use it!

Wonderful Addition to the Rick Cahill Series
December 3, 2019
When Rick Cahill learns that his former training officer, Krista Landingham, has been killed in a hit and run accident he reluctantly returns to Santa Barbara to pay his respects. He left Santa Barbara and the force after being accused of his wife’s murder…a murder that has never been solved. Krista’s sister, Leah, doesn’t believe that her sister’s death was an accident and asks Rick to investigate. When clues lead Leah and Rick to believe that Krista’s death was not an accident the investigation turns deadly. Someone doesn’t want the truth of Krista’s death to be revealed, could this same person be responsible for his wife’s death? An exciting mystery as Leah and Rick try to learn the truth leading to an exciting and dangerous conclusion. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review.

This one will draw you in...
January 22, 2018
In the clever and stylistic vein of Michael Crichton and Robin Cook, Geoffrey M. Cooper has created a magnificently written novel about medical science and deceit. 'The Prize' takes you on a journey into the world of discovery behind the closed doors of scientists looking for the next fix-it drug. In this case, two particular big names in their field are racing to find a cure for Alzheimer's Disease. It's a race that leads to death.

I really enjoyed this book. It was quite the page turner and kept me up a couple nights. It's one of those stories you itch to get to the end of so you can see the bad guy (or woman) punished for their misdeeds.

You don’t need a title to lead.

Before running for mayor of Augusta, Georgia, Deke Copenhaver was an unofficial leader of social change and politics within his community. In The Changemaker: The Art of Building Better Leaders, Deke shares how all of us can be true and authentic leaders.

Leadership is never easy. Almost all leaders deal with both triumph and tragedy, oftentimes in equal measure. The fact of the matter is that leadership insists on a constant rejection of the status quo. True leaders demand continuous reflection and improvement of those around them, and even more importantly, of themselves. True leaders are Changemakers.

In Deke’s book, you will learn to become unafraid of doing something different in the service of a good cause and how to spark a movement that others can’t help but rally around. Deke’s Seven Attributes of Changemakers reveal how anyone can become a transformative leader

Georgia author Deke Copenhaver earned his degree in political science from Augusta College and has served as mayor of Augusta, Georgia, is principal of Copenhaver Consulting LLC, hosts a live daily radio show, is involved in journalism and speaking engagements on city design, economic development veteran’s issues, healthcare, and nonprofit industry, and is a competitive athlete! He comes to the topic of leadership well informed and experienced.

After a lengthy review of his personal experiences as a man growing into leadership, Deke offers the gist of this book – ‘The fact is, true leadership insists on a constant rejection of the status quo. True leaders demand continuous reflection and improvement of those around them, and even more importantly, of themselves. True leaders are Changemakers. So what is a Changemaker? It’s somebody who’s not afraid to do something different in the service of a good cause. Someone who can spark a movement that others can’t help but rally round. Changemakers are not perfect; they’re not saints. They’re just people like you and me who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty.’

Deke encourages us to ‘take a deep-dive’ into his seven attributes of Changemakers – Creativity, Courage, Connecting, Listening, Transparency, Composure, and Character – and in his discussion of each of these attributes it becomes clear that his process is achievable. ‘Changemakers want to see a change in the world. They work to inspire others to want to rally around their vision, around the common purpose and a higher cause, to really impact positive change for generations to come, and to build better leaders.’

This is not only a fine guidebook to improve our own abilities, but it is also a solid survey of what we need in all forms of leadership – from President on down! Grady Harp, October 19

Learning to celebrate your uniqueness
September 30, 2019
Everyone can use an infusion of self-esteem and self-confidence. Who doesn't like to be accepted by others and feel great about their uniqueness? This Pufferfish Adventure introduces you to Mike the Pufferfish who thinks he doesn't fit in unlike his best friends Sam Squid and Casey Crab. They are so cool and have lots of friends but Sam feels like a misfit. When he sucks in water he blows up like a balloon and he has spikes all over his body not scales like the other fish do. This embarrasses him and he feels ugly. He talks to his friends about his feelings but they don't seem to mind him being different. They explain to him that they too are weird and no one really cares.

And then something happens that changes Mike's view of himself forever. His friends are playing hide and seek in Secret Cave and Mike is "It." After he finishes counting he swims off to find his friends and the search and find game becomes a search and rescue one. Mike discovers that his besties are in grave danger and it's up to him to save the day. Can Mike pull himself together and use his weirdness to become a superhero? Mike's weirdness turns out to be his superpower and he doesn't hesitate to use it to save his friends.

Now not only do his friends celebrate his friendship and heroism but Mike is able to celebrate exactly what he is created to be... a brave, cool, popular Pufferfish that is highly accepted and belongs in his underwater community!

“The Birth Mother” by Seymour Ubell is a powerful novel that touches the very soul of the reader. I generally try to avoid books that are emotional, but I’m so glad I decided to try this one, it was a pleasure to read and didn’t disappoint me.

A rich and powerful man Daryl Landsman visits an orphanage in China with a business partner and immediately falls for a set of twin girls. Beautiful little girls that are half Chinese and half European, but they touch him as nothing else has touched him in his life. When he calls his wife, Maxine, and tells her his intentions her reaction is nothing short of hilarious! Much as mine might be if my husband said at fifty years old, we’re about to become parents!
Sing Ye and Lang Pi are beautiful little girls who have been given the gift of a future with this wonderful loving American couple. Given new names to go with their future, they become Samantha Sing Ye and Lauren Lang Pi.
The story moves back and forth between the exciting new life of Samantha and Lauren and their birth mother’s life. The story of their birth mother is heart breaking and it touches on how different our society is from the Chinese Culture.

Read along with this epic journey for two beautiful girls that bring so much pleasure to their new family and the moment they finally meet their birth mother and find where that road will take them in life.
This story brought me to tears, then had me laughing and shaking my head, what a great book, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a way to warm your soul on a winter afternoon!
