Write Your Book; Get Paid Like This

Steve Farber

If you’ve ever had an impulse to write and publish a book, I urge you to act on it. Not because of the money or visibility. But because of the feeling you’ll get when someone, somewhere, reads your book and then sends you an email like this: “Dear Steve, The Radical Leap worked in reverse for me.

I’m In Great Company

Steve Farber

The management side of my speaking business has been through a couple of starts and stops over the last year or so, but I’m happy to announce that I’ve landed in the magnificent hands of the renown SpeakersOffice team.

Do Women Know Their Place?

Women's Leadership Exchange

Today's headlines reminded me AGAIN that things are far from equal in the power suites of America. What's worse is so many men are not even aware of the language they. use. It just comes naturally to them. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was told by the National Republican Congressional Committee that she needed to be put "in her place"for her views on Afghanistan.

Show Trust

Eric Jacobson

If you as a leader don't show trust in your employees, you and your team will not achieve maximum results. Judith E. Glaser states it so well in her book "The DNA of Leadership:" "Leaders who are secure in their own abilities allow others to display theirs." So powerful. So true.

Eric Jacobson
