Career Comedown

'Of course I'm starting my screenplay. I'm just going to Hoover the stairs first.'If you are at all interested in the nuts and bolts of story-telling and the curious workings of the entertainment industry, then this is the most informative, inspiring and funniest book on writing you will ever read, by someone who's been nominated for every showbiz award going (and then lost them all).Covering four decades in an ever-changing industry, John O'Farrell shares his writing journey from unsolicited radio sketches to huge Broadway musicals, crafting stories that have made people laugh, cry or sneak out to the pub in the interval. Here he reveals the inside secrets of every genre from sketches to sitcoms, novels to screenplays - as John kept swapping industries just before they noticed the missing Post-It Notes.Maybe If I Changed The Font? is packed with invaluable advice on structure, character, theme as well as guidance on how to get your work read by professionals and produced to great acclaim from millions - or maybe just several members of your family - you never know which way it's going to go. But you must read this book before you start - it's the perfect avoidance.'The most honest book about writing I have ever read' William Shakespeare

Maybe If I Changed The Font?

How to Master Pressure, Quiet Your Doubts, and Show Up When It Matters Most

Step into the Arena

A silent epidemic is taking place. More and more frequently, executives and mid level leaders are experiencing the trauma of an unexpected professional exit and enforced silence, such as through an NDA (non-disclosure agreement). The cost in terms of identity disruption, personal and professional fall-out, with the erosion of self-worth can be paralyzing.But being told to 'zip it' is not the end of the story. Dr Claire Handby draws on years of top-level business experience, exposure and executive coach credentials, to set out a bold way forward.Reclaim your narrative, rediscover your agency and own your identity, to step boldly into the next chapter of your life and career with confidence.<ul> <li> The first book to address directly this growing but little-acknowledged business practice and its personal and professional impact. </li> <li> Includes case studies demonstrating the trajectory into positive career advancement </li> <li> Deals with both the emotional side and the practical aspects of this traumatic journey. </li> </ul>

The essential guide for those who’ve been professionally silenced

Zip It

A provocative exposé of how our attention, behavior, and desires have been co-opted by the “choice box”—a curated set of options that offer a false sense of agency while funneling us down pre-determined paths controlled by a select few Choice boxes are all around us, but chances are you’ve never noticed them. Every time you click on a recommended video, rate an Uber driver, run a Google search, or invest in your 401k, you may think you’re the one calling the shots—but in reality, you’re limited to making the choices that a corporation wants you to make. Today, structured decision-making governs our lives to such an extent that we hardly see it at all. But who designs these choices, and whose interests do they serve? In Choose Your Captivity, historian Eli Cook introduces readers to the choice architects who first built these boxes and trapped us inside—from the maze-building eugenicist who invented the multiple-choice test to the marketing gurus who sold off our supermarket shelves to a few ultra-processed food giants. In less than a generation, architects like these have transformed a handful of online platforms into the richest businesses in the world. And by determining our options, controlling our actions, and even shaping our identities, they have laid the groundwork&nbsp;for the winner-takes-all game of digital capitalism that dominates us today. In a society built around the promise of free choice and personal responsibility, Cook argues, these hidden architects might just have the greatest power of all. A propulsive and vivid history, Choose Your Captivity opens readers’ eyes to the immense power of the choice box—and how to escape it.

Choose Your Captivity

What it takes to sustain leadership successAt some point in every senior leader's career, the skills that built success stop being enough to sustain it. The work accumulates, the stakes rise, and the gap between performing well and breaking down narrows. Most leadership books train skills at the surface. Conditioned is about what sits underneath them.An athlete trains, competes, and recovers on a schedule with an off-season built in. Leadership has no off-season, and almost no one is conditioned for that. Allen Weaver brings more than twenty years in sport psychology, executive coaching, and Fortune 100 human resources to a consistent observation: the leaders who last are not the ones with the most refined skills, but the ones who built the conditioning that supports them.Conditioned maps that conditioning through the Peak System. Two anchors, Mental Performance (how leaders show up) and Wellness (how they sustain the ability to keep showing up), are expressed across ten dimensions of leadership readiness, each read on a simple three-state scale: Peak, Plateau, and Valley. The book closes with three disciplines for the long climb of a leadership career: Mastery, Future-Proofing, and Legacy.The stories come from boardrooms, locker rooms, and coaching environments: Mary Barra steadied General Motors in crisis, Lisa Su rebuilt AMD, and Rory McIlroy and LeBron James extended their peaks past the age when peaks are supposed to end. Weaver's own path runs from a marathon medical tent to the coaching practice it inspired. Conditioned is written for senior and mid-career leaders who have achieved success and now intend to sustain it.Peak is what can be reached. Plateau is where reliable performance lives. Valley is where the learning happens. The climb begins with conditioning.

Create a Life on Your Terms

Great leaders aren't shaped by a title. They're shaped by a moment. A moment that changes not just what they do, but how they lead. This is THE UNLOCK MOMENT. Drawing on his own leadership journey, executive coach and podcast host Dr. Gary Crotaz explores the inner shift that separates outward success from truly grounded leadership. Interweaving stories from CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, and the many thinkers he has coached, Gary offers a clear, human framework for recognizing the moments that make us who we are. At the heart of The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead are five essential Keys--Self, Trust, Presence, Growth, and Impact--that shape how real innovators think, decide, and lead when it matters most. By cutting through the ambiguity to make decisions with conviction, you will find your leadership aplomb and learn to lead in a way that is authentic, not performative. This is not a book about getting people to follow you. It's a book about becoming the kind of leader people choose to follow . . . and the moments that unlock how you lead.

The Unlock Moment: The Inner Shift That Changes How You Lead

When life disrupts work, leaders need to know what to do next. This practical guide shows&nbsp;leaders at organizations of every size, from small businesses to large corporations, how to support employees through hard moments while strengthening trust across the workplace. This is the book to read before the crisis happens, so you can respond with confidence, care, and clarity when it does. Life disruptions do not stay outside the workplace. Grief, illness, caregiving, divorce, infertility, and other major life events shape how people show up at work, yet most organizations still do not prepare leaders for these moments. Even caring managers can freeze, unsure what to say, how to help, or how to balance support with team needs. The challenge is not whether a life disruption will affect your team. It is when. The leaders who build trust in difficult moments are the ones who prepare before those moments arrive. Drawing on original PhD research, interviews with employees and leaders, and nearly two decades of experience advising employers on benefits and workplace strategy, Dr. Nataliya Boychenko Stone gives leaders a practical guide for responding with confidence and care. She shows readers how to <ul><li>understand what support an employee actually needs,</li><li>connect people with the right workplace resources,</li><li>adjust work with clarity and flexibility,</li><li>stay present after the first crisis moment, and</li><li>support employees while maintaining accountability.</li></ul> This practical framework helps managers, HR professionals, and organizational leaders navigate life's most challenging moments at work while strengthening trust, loyalty, and performance across their teams.

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.
