ABOUT THE BOOK
From one of the top HR specialists in the world comes a guide to help people maximize productivity and increase revenue.
Whether it’s in corporate America or in our own living rooms, people are wasting time. There’s a precise moment that falls between working enough hours to be productive and working too many hours, yielding a diminishing marginal return. The difference between the person able to master this and most Americans that fail miserably at it is quality of life! We’ve siloed productivity to our work life, however; the impact on our personal life is often loss. Previous generations used to say, “Work harder,” but we’ve now learned we must “work smarter.”
A case-study backed guide for leaders that answers the age old question; “How can I get more done in less time?”
ABOUT THE BOOK
This is a story of hope, faith, and the ever-evolving realization that the essence of all love resides within one’s self and family. Will the Ishkadees, said to inhabit the depths of the Erawan jungle in Thailand, prove to be more than just a legend?
In a distant land far from the comforts of his own bedroom, Emet embarks on a remarkable journey. This land is inhabited by wondrous creatures: golden monkeys, pink elephants, and the intriguing Ishkadees. These mystical beings possess medicinal powers known only to pure souls under the age of nine. Unlike the usual bedtime stories told by his father, this tale becomes a stark reality for Emet. With just ten days left before his ninth birthday, he must undertake a treacherous journey to seek an Ishkadee’s healing abilities to save his ailing mother.
