Dave Ferguson

Employees rarely go to work to follow anyone for more than money. They certainly aren’t there to follow the vision of the person in charge. But you can change that!

In Boss or Leader, internationally recognized leadership coach and speaker, Dave Ferguson, cleverly defines the difference between a boss and a leader. In his direct, no-nonsense way, he uses his experience as a leader and as a leadership coach to help you first decide if you are a boss or a leader, then goes on to coach you on how to grow as a leader.

It’s not about how to be liked by your employees, nor is it about how to manage or supervise people. This book is about how to become a leader people will respect and be willing to follow. It’s also about developing leaders and identifying potential leaders. If you are in a leadership position, or want to be in one, then this book is for you.

Bill Humbert

Employee 5.0: Secrets of a Successful Job Search In The New World Order is Bill’s second book. Over 40 years as a Talent Attraction expert, RecruiterGuy.com, he found that most candidates never learned how to successfully find a new position beyond posting online and praying that the right person sees their resume.

Talent Attraction mirrors the Sales Process perfectly – few companies understand that concept. Therefore, they treat recruiting as an administrative process. They use their Applicant Tracking System to screen the best candidates out. They only screen keywords, not experience.

As an expert Career Coach, Bill demonstrates the search for a new job mirrors the Sales Process perfectly. Bill’s book is structured with the 12 Steps it takes to find their next position. Included in his book are the major pain points for job seekers – creating a resume, networking, interviewing, and Salary Negotiation. Since the beginning of the Covid-19 shut down on March 15 to November 30, 27 of the professionals Bill coached excitedly announced they accepted new offers. The majority received substantial increases in compensation.

This book includes links to the many television interviews where this expert discusses different aspects of the job search with TV hosts.
