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. Fate answers her in the form of a kind–and surprisingly direct–older man in a coffee shop. A well-respected CEO before he retired, David has deep and rich leadership knowledge. 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.

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.

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.

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

Rick Gillis

As a kid, you were likely taught that modesty is the best policy. Better to let others discover your greatness on their own. The problem is your work does not speak for itself. You do. When done properly, self-promotion is not bragging. It is informing.

For the individual PROMOTE! takes you through the very simple, but until now, virtually non-existent process of sourcing and quantifying previous achievements.

Companies, per Rick’s plan in the final chapter, learn how to take this same information on a monthly (not annual performance review) basis and apply it to potentially reduce turnover and enhance the bottom line. Think for a minute…how many dynamic employees have slipped through ‘your hands’ because you were not aware of their value until after the fact?
