Your ideas are good. So why does everyone else's voice carry further in the room?

Most careers don't stall because of missing skills - they stall because of missing clarity. The people who get heard in meetings, trusted with bigger problems, and remembered when a promotion is on the table aren't necessarily the smartest in the room. They're the ones whose thinking is legible: they say what they mean the first time, they listen in a way people can feel, and they know exactly what to say when a conversation gets hard.

The Clarity Advantage is a practical, no-fluff communication guide built for working professionals who are ready to stop being talked over, misread, or overlooked - and start communicating like someone whose input people actively seek out.

Inside, you'll find field-tested language, structures, and scripts for the exact moments that make or break a professional reputation: the meeting you almost didn't speak up in, the feedback conversation you've been avoiding, the email that needs to get a response today, and the disagreement you need to raise without torching the relationship.

Inside you'll learn:

- How to say what you mean the first time - without over-explaining, hedging, or burying your point in paragraph three
- A simple framework for giving feedback that improves performance instead of triggering defensiveness
- How to receive criticism without shutting down, so people keep being honest with you
- Ready-to-use scripts for the difficult conversations most people avoid for months
- How to "manage up" so your boss sees you as someone who solves problems, not someone who creates more work
- The exact structure for speaking up in meetings, even if you're naturally quiet
- How to build influence with people who have no obligation to listen to you
- A 30-day practice plan that turns these skills into instinct, one week at a time

The Clarity Advantage

In collaboration with JVL Media—a captivating exploration of why many high-performing Black business leaders attribute their transformational leadership qualities to their experiences growing up in the Black Church and how we can foster these skills in younger generations despite waning church attendance.The Black church in the U.S. has long been a “one-stop shop” for developing Black leaders, teaching them many of the qualities required to lead effectively in today’s ultra-competitive, digital, and swiftly transforming corporate world. Many high-performing Black leaders benefited from their experiences growing up in this cultural institution steeped in rich history.Merging cultural study with applied neuroscience and tenets of positive psychology, L. Michelle Smith dissect how these qualities are demonstrated by leaders across industries, from resiliency to their sense of undeniable purpose, their ability to build community and collaborative environments, the delivery and language of their speaking style to their unique leadership flair. She reveals how this historic institution has served as a timeless wellspring of leadership development, empowerment, and cultural preservation and ultimately, is Black leaders’ “secret sauce.”Call and Response also explores whether the Black Church will be able to continue to ingrain these skills in future generations. Smith examines how cultural shifts have resulted in a decline in church attendance, how online attendance has risen since the Covid pandemic, and finally, how Black leaders may—or may not—be passing these traditions down to their children.

10 Leadership Lessons from the Black Church

Call and Response

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

Welcome to Faith &amp; Business: A 52-Week Devotional for Christian Entrepreneurs and Business Leaders.This devotional was born out of a simple but powerful truth: Your business is your ministry!Whether you're building a brand from scratch, managing a thriving company, freelancing, or leading a team, you are not just a business person - you are a Kingdom representative in the marketplace. You carry the light of Christ into boardrooms, coffee shops, contracts, spreadsheets, and customer service conversations. You are part of God's plan to transform culture, serve others, and create meaningful value-all through the work of your hands.Yet this calling is not easy. Business can be lonely, risky, overwhelming, and often deeply personal. It's a world where faith is tested in practical ways: in late payments, employee tensions, quiet seasons, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to perform. That's why this devotional exists-to serve as a weekly anchor, helping you reconnect your business life with your spiritual life, so the two become one seamless expression of who you are in Christ.God cares deeply about your work. Scripture is filled with builders, stewards, entrepreneurs, and marketplace leaders-from Abraham and Lydia to Nehemiah and the Proverbs 31 woman. These weren't just Sunday saints; they were everyday workers who honored God through faith-filled leadership, generosity, diligence, and trust. In the same way, you've been called to build, lead, serve, and create-on purpose and for a purpose.

Faith & Business

Selling doesn't have to feel like a betrayal of who you are. What if the most powerful sales strategy was simply telling the truth, consistently, on purpose?

If you've ever closed your laptop after writing a sales email feeling slightly sick about it, you're not alone - and you're not bad at business. You've just been handed the wrong playbook. Selling With Soul throws out the pressure tactics, fake urgency, and manufactured scarcity that modern buyers see through instantly, and replaces them with a method built on something far more durable: trust.

Drawing on real case studies and practical, repeatable frameworks, this book shows small business owners, coaches, freelancers, and creators how to turn their real story, their real voice, and their real values into the strongest sales asset they have - without becoming a different, louder, more "salesy" version of themselves.

What's inside:
<ul>
<li>How to turn your personal story into a strategic sales asset, using a simple five-beat structure</li>
<li>A step-by-step method for finding and protecting your authentic voice across every channel</li>
<li>The three pillars of a brand people actually trust - and how to audit your own</li>
<li>Scripts and templates for sales conversations, objections, price talk, and honest "no" moments</li>
<li>How to turn followers into customers using invitation instead of pressure</li>
<li>A referral and retention system built on real relationships, not gimmicks</li>
<li>How to scale a team without losing the authenticity that built your audience in the first place</li>
<li>A 30-day action plan, a glossary, twenty reflection questions, and dozens of ready-to-use templates</li>
</ul>

Perfect for coaches, consultants, course creators, freelancers, and small business owners who want to grow sales without sacrificing integrity - and who are tired of choosing between "make money" and "stay true to yourself."

This is not soft, feel-good advice. It's a practical, chapter-by-chapter system for building a business that compounds trust into consistent, sustainable sales - one honest conversation at a time.

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 'BEST BOOKS TO DIP INTO THIS SUMMER' 'The Bowie you thought you knew is recast completely' The Spectator 'A transfixing look at David Bowie's life through a spiritual lens... fresh and revealing' Publishers Weekly How David Bowie's search for meaning inspired him to write the music that defined a generation. In this wide-ranging biography, Peter Ormerod explores the quest for spirituality that powered David Bowie's creativity from his earliest recordings to his death-defying final album. Bowie's genre-expanding, era-crossing genius had an extraordinary impact on popular culture but his life-long search for spiritual truth and enlightenment has been overlooked. From Bowie's first musical encounters as a choirboy, this book traces his spiritual obsessions over the years. As a young musician at the start of his career, he was enraptured by Tibetan Buddhism. It was the first step in a spiritual journey that would generate his most profound lyrics and music. From the Kabbalah-influenced tracks of Station to Station to Ziggy Stardust's messiah complex and the profound affinity between Heroes and Christian thought, Ormerod sheds new light on the spiritual traditions behind Bowie's genius. Taking Bowie's spiritual explorations and faith seriously, Ormerod shows us how this quest for meaning propelled him through his darkest moments and biggest successes, lending his music a timelessness and depth that has spoken to so many people across the world. Whether experiencing a dark night of the soul in LA during his occult phase or reciting the Lord's prayer in front of thousands of concertgoers, Bowie was always searching for that universal truth that lies beyond everyday reality.

Sneakers are a $100 billion business and a global obsession that started in the pages of a catalog called Eastbay.This is a startup story unlike most you've read, but as instructive and inspiring as any of the rest. It's the story of two entrepreneurs with $4,000 worth of track shoes stuffed into an AMC Gremlin who eventually launched a mail-order catalog, Eastbay, that became a bible and a cultural icon to Gen X and Millennial kids. The catalog that was such a powerful and authentic tastemaker that pro athletes swore by it and a burgeoning generation of sneakerheads coveted it.This is also the story of a company ahead of its time that understood the affirming power and cultural significance of sneakers. A company that mastered the mail-order business we take for granted today before most of us understood it. A company that never wavered from its mission as it grew fast, suffered massive setbacks, then grew even faster until the catalog reached tens of millions of kids across the world.And this is the story of Art and Rick, born two days apart, bonded by the company they founded together and by a lifelong friendship that's lasted throughout a tumultuous, heady, difficult, exhilarating, frustrating, and ultimately profoundly rewarding career. Together they built a business that mattered, with as talented and devoted a team as any leaders could hope for.In Eastbay, a generation of kids were encouraged to dream big and dream often, which is just what the founders were doing all along. This is their story.

Rare architectural drawings from the Gothic period uncover a flourishing tradition of design and draftsmanship, making this book essential for understanding the roots of modern architecture &nbsp; The Gothic era produced some of the Western world's most imposing structures, today icons of the European cityscape. Unlike buildings from the Renaissance onward, these medieval works are rarely discussed as the products of the ingenious, innovative contributions of individual architects. This book challenges that common perception by asserting the significant impact of draftsmanship on the development of the Gothic style from the twelfth to early sixteenth century. The rediscovery of a little-known corpus of architectural drawings and prints reveals the crucial role of drawings in the development of complex and visually appealing structures-from monumental stone cathedrals to small liturgical objects. Gothic by Design includes surprising ties to contemporary concerns, showing how these works on paper functioned on and off the building site, established the basis for modern concepts of artistic identity and intellectual property, and provided evidence of the long afterlife of Gothic design strategies and their potential use today in sustainable architecture. &nbsp; Published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press &nbsp; Exhibition Schedule: &nbsp; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (April 16-July 19, 2026)
