The shelf life of well-established companies keeps shrinking as new entrants replace old ones in rapid succession. Even brands that seemed invincible only a few years ago are in danger of being disrupted by fast-moving startups. In this unprecedented environment, how can any business stay ahead of the market?
 
Companies can no longer assume innovation will "just happen"--it must be seeded, grown, and successfully harvested. They must disrupt themselves.
 
In Disrupt-It-Yourself, bestselling author and innovation expert Simone Ahuja guides readers through the DIY (Disrupt-It-Yourself) system that will sustain innovation and retain DIYers, the employees--or intrapreneurs--most committed to solving the problems of the future, even if it means moving far beyond "business as usual."
 
Based on her experience working with Fortune 500 companies and extensive research, Ahuja identifies the intrapreneurial archetype and presents eight new principles to foster a DIY mindset and action plan. In a clear, concise style with expert advice and real-world examples, this bookprovides a new lens to help companies become faster and more fluid, 
offers easy options to tailor the system to each company's unique circumstances, and
presents strategic lessons--from Keep It Frugal to Make It Permission-less--that open up the full spectrum of innovation and make it sustainable.


Using the DIY approach, organizations can build their ability to innovate and create an approach for growth that harnesses the creativity and knowledge of employees at every level.

HBR's 10 Must Reads on Managing People, Updated and Expanded (featuring "Are You a Good Boss--or a Great One?" by Linda A. Hill and Kent Lineback)

YES! You've been selling your whole life. You just may not have been doing it on purpose, and that's why you might not be where you think you should!

Every job interview you've nailed, every skeptical boss you've won over, every idea you've fought for in a room that wasn't ready to hear it - that was sales. And for traditional sellers chasing quotas and commission that's also sales. They both require the discipline of moving people, ideas, and opportunities forward with confidence and intention.
Most people leave that power completely to chance. This book changes that.

Written by Karlyn Kieffer former television anchor, former Chief Diversity Officer at the United States Tennis Association, sales enablement expert and founder of Pro Tip Partners - Wait What? I'm in Sales? is a masterclass in persuasive communication for both traditional sellers and everyone who influences others for a living. Which is... basically... everyone.

Drawing on two decades of high-stakes experience across broadcast journalism, corporate leadership, and sales enablement, Karlyn delivers a unique formula for the way influence works: prepare obsessively, read the room relentlessly, and show up with the kind of presence that makes people lean in before you've finished your first sentence.

Inside, you'll find the ACTION Sales Framework, the Customer Cue Card, and the Interviewer's Mindset. These proprietary tools were built from real results, including compressing enterprise sales cycles by up to 50%. You'll learn why improv training is the most underrated skill in any sales toolkit, how to handle objections without flinching, and why the meritocracy myth - the belief that talent alone determines outcomes - is the single most expensive blind spot a high performer can carry.

This is not a book about becoming someone you're not. It's about recognizing the seller, the communicator, and the closer you already are, and a repeatable system to leverage for success.

Three parts. Fourteen chapters. A career's worth of hard-won insight made immediately usable.

If you've ever walked out of a conversation thinking I should have said that differently, this book is for you.

Like it or not, you're in sales. Now, give it a read, and go close some business!

Wait, What? I'm in Sales?

These skills are elegantly dissected, combined, illustrated with practical real-world examples, and backed by research. I loved every minute of this read!" -TOM DRAPEAU, Owner and CEO, Tom D's Foolery "This book is transformational and practical-LifeLabs Learning nails the HOW in a field that often stays abstract. An enjoyable and truly helpful read!" -DR. HEIDI BROOKS, Professor, Yale School of Management "This is a book that I believe every People Manager and aspiring leader should read. By demystifying and breaking down the traits of great leadership, LifeLabs Learning has given every curious person a key to unlock what being an exceptional manager might look like for them.... If everyone read this book, workplaces would be a lot more empathetic and human-centered and managers would feel capable of being great at their jobs. Leadership is learnable, and this book shows you how." -RACHEL PECK, Founder and CEO, Metronome

Core Skills to Become a Great Manager, Faster

The Leader Lab

You can have a sharp mind and still disappear on screen.

Zoom to Success: Present Like a Pro identifies the gap between having strong ideas and landing them under live, on¿camera pressure. Credibility takes shape through how you show up on screen, as work unfolds visibly and in real time. Virtual presentations, meetings, and interviews do more than convey information. They determine how others experience your thinking in the moment.

Most professionals never learned how to think on their feet, speak clearly, and stay grounded on camera. When nerves spike or attention thins, their thinking freezes at the moment it matters most. Zoom to Success addresses that failure by strengthening improvisation, so presenters stay present and move forward as conditions shift.

Nancy Ancowitz focuses on the mechanics of presence when conditions are imperfect. She zeroes in on the moments presenters dread because those moments decide outcomes. A shaky opening. A sudden tech failure. A zinger question that disrupts your train of thought. The book treats these as expected disruptions and shows how to recover footing without losing authority or momentum.

Zoom to Success reflects how communication actually unfolds on screen. Attention drops. Energy shifts. Pressure rises fast. Ancowitz shows how to respond, stay intentional, and perform effectively without becoming performative. The book positions performance as the purposeful coordination of thinking, voice, and body under pressure, even when technology distracts or glitches on screen. It treats this as a disciplined practice grounded in clear thinking, physical steadiness, vocal use, and sustained attention to the virtual room.

The book also integrates the strategic use of AI as a preparation and sparring partner for thinking. It uses AI for rehearsal as a low¿stakes way to practice thinking aloud and pressure¿test ideas, helping presenters test language, probe weak spots, and refine points of view before going live, so they can stay coherent and responsive when the moment turns unpredictable.

Zoom to Success speaks to people whose ideas should carry weight once they land and whose credibility comes under scrutiny on screen. It values durability over surface polish. It keeps pace with real workplace demands and holds up when consequences are real.
