Lisa Levy

For companies who’ve embraced new opportunities only to lose money through inefficiency, mismanagement and misinformed decision-making, Lisa Levy knows there is a better way. Lcubed Consulting is her invention and Future Proofing Cubed: The Definitive Guide to Improving Productivity, Refining Processes, and Bolstering Profitability is the companion. Providing everything you need to know about why processes work and don’t and when they are most needed, Levy has written in a clear, concise voice about the intricacies of effective project management and how to systematize successfully while interweaving personal stories of climbing the ladder leaning against the wrong building, trusting too much and finally finding her voice and calling. Chock full of case studies from elite executives sharing the moments when the wheels fell off the process wagon, Future Proofing Cubed is the go-to resource when upscaling or downscaling, onboarding monster projects and expanding offerings. Her billion-dollar system of rapid adaptive transformation allows the giants of the planet to thrive and those at the helm to prosper through solid organizational change management.

Levy turns organizations inside out to examine the silos and ivory towers that shunt communication, the stagnant methodologies with the byproduct of preventing future-proofing, and the misalignment of operational efficiency and effectiveness. If you’re a business owner or executive, keep Future Proofing Cubed on tap to help ease the rough waters of industry and ensure your business’ longevity and profitability.

Ron Price & Stacy Ennis

Emily is a career-driven thirtysomething with big ambitions and a young family. She is making an impact as a manager at a tech company, but after being passed up for multiple promotions, she finds herself at a loss for how to improve.

Emily needs direction, and David is the perfect mentor.

Growing Influence offers readers both practical advice on how to develop leadership skills and a relatable account of one woman’s growth by applying the principles in the book. Unlike nonfiction business books or business memoirs, this story is a true business fable that is both impactful and transformative.

Karyn Schoenbart

CAREER ADVICE FROM A GLOBAL CEO WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE A MOM
In Her New Book Mom.B.A., CEO Karyn Schoenbart Provides An Insider’s Guide To Career Success Imagine what your life would be like if your mother was the CEO of a global company. Instead of just helping with your homework, she could provide the type of advice that would propel your career and allow you to overcome the many stumbling blocks that keep people from fulfilling their full potential at work. That’s the idea behind Mom.B.A. Essential Business Advice from One Generation to the Next by Karyn Schoenbart, CEO of The NPD Group, a global provider of information and advisory services.

MOM.B.A. is an insider’s guide to career success based on Schoenbart’s “lessons” to her daughter Danielle, now an established businesswoman in her own right. The book is filled with wise advice, personal anecdotes, and brief commentary from a wide range of top executives. What makes this book special is Schoenbart’s candor and engaging sense of humor as she reveals the problems, decisions, and ultimate triumphs that led her from market research project director to international business leader. Whether she is discussing the importance of first impressions, the most effective ways to build professional relationships, or techniques for managing a team, Schoenbart is the ideal mentor for people at all stages of their business journey.

Learn step-by-step how board searches really happen, and how to master each stage. Prepare for the board interview and vetting process, and get ready for your first board meeting.

Sheila Anderson

Sheila A. Anderson is a master at bringing forward the inner and outer expression and connecting it with the experience of an individual to form a remarkable personal brand that lives and breathes like none other. If you are seeking visibility, I.C.U. will guide you to building an intentional, consistent brand with impact. You will become a constant example of your brand word, goals, values, and strengths. I.C.U. helps you cultivate and own what lives in the minds of others after they have interacted with you. You become an experience connecting with a purpose – intentionally and consistently. You will have them at hello.

Sheila designed The I.C.U. Rule™, a process to work with leaders to lean into personal style and authentic brand. Through an analysis phase, leaders focus in on being intentional before encounters occur. After gaining clarity in the analysis phase, the focus moves into executing personal style and image through disciplined consistency. Once leaders look inward and defined who they are and consistently execute authentic style elements into the spaces of their lives, the last phase of I.C.U. is you. The U step is two-fold. First, it represents authenticity. Second, it is about solidifying the brand experience by prioritizing others (you) and relationships, audiences, and communities. These steps result in career advancement, increasing one’s center of influence, and being recognized as a leader.

Kathleen Thomas

Financial Advisor Kathleen Thomas has seen the difficulties and setbacks that occur when women don’t own their financial lives. It’s not a situation you want to find yourself in.
The Hardworking Woman’s Guide to Money provides all the information you need to make informed decisions about your own finances, whether you’ve just earned your first paycheck or retirement looms on the horizon.
After outlining the seven habits common to successful, hardworking women, Thomas discusses many vital topics, including determining your net worth, understanding bank account fees, paying for college, securing a mortgage, and taking full advantage of your employee benefits. She also explains the ways different life stages dictate your financial needs, offers basic investment advice and estate-planning tips, and explores the need for prenuptial agreements.
Thomas emphasizes that accruing wealth isn’t an end in itself. Rather, financial security is a tool you use to achieve your goals and dreams, whether they include traveling the world, enjoying a stable retirement, or building a legacy for your children.
Controlling your finances can be challenging, even frightening, but once you get a handle on money management, you will be able to plan your future with much greater confidence.

Joanne Sonenshine

On a career path that one could only call circuitous, Joanne Sonenshine learned that what fulfilled her the most was, in many cases, the opposite of what she had originally planned for her journey. The tragedy that struck America on September 11, 2001 changed how she saw her life and her role in the world. It also changed what she thought she wanted in her career. With new priorities, she made some serious course corrections, and pointed herself toward fulfillment – a more complicated and subjective path, but ultimately more rewarding. Now, with the perspective of hindsight, Sonenshine has condensed her (and others’) experiences into ChangeSeekers, a call to everyone who wants to make a difference and find their path to impact. Her message: always question where you are headed and why. Take risks, explore creativity, find new ways of adding experience and relationships to your life. Question authority. Be curious, be brave, and find your passion.

Jill Griffin

My new book is about women who have beaten the odds. Early on, they heard the whispers….the inner-call to leadership. They answered, and continue to answer it, with fierce passion—and the courage, boldness and resilience required to rise to the next level and the next, and the next. They continually polish their talent with a capacity to work really hard, help others succeed, and play the game fair and honest. They never lose sight that their purpose is to be kind, generous, and to dare greatly to make the world a better place. These women are doers and risk takers. They face their fears head-on. When they misstep, they pick themselves up and use the lesson to inform their steps forward. Along the way, they are patient with the ebb and flow of life. Many become devoted wives, partners and mothers while still building careers and influence. They all remain true to their work as leaders in the world, carrying it out with the grace, diplomacy and fortitude it requires. Welcome to the lessons these amazing women teach us

Lea Woodford

What is your inner critic telling you? How are your values and standards holding you back? What can you do to get yourself out of a depression that’s dragging you down?

These are the kinds of questions you can expect to be asking yourself to get you looking at new solutions and to propel you toward getting what you want in life.

But it doesn’t stop with questions. Lead…Share…Empower provides often simple wisdoms that result in profound “aha moments,” concrete actions for getting past the things that are holding you back, and practical ways of accessing your innate strengths so you naturally start moving toward what you want.

In addition to concepts like “Develop relationships and you will keep customers for life,” and “When things get rough and it seems like the cards are stacked against me, I reflect on past achievements,” the book supplies a wealth of hard-earned wisdom that can make a new impact when presented through Lea’s lens. The exercises at the end of each chapter help you immediately start integrating new practices and turn on the inner light bulbs that illuminate the path to where you want to go.

The book is refreshingly conversational and free of the self-help psycho-jargon often found in volumes promising to change your life. It is based on tried-and-true techniques the author either discovered or developed to further her career or enhance her personal life.

The bottom line is that many books promise and this one delivers. Of course, your inner critic may not approve.
