   so this week I'm showcasing some books and products that can help you make the
     small changes in your life, that may lead to larger ones!  ENJOY!


We really don't think of our marriages as changes/resolutions, but this new book has some ideas you might want to consider!




Alot of people are getting new jobs or are out of job and looking to get hired. This book has a lot of great strategies to help you along your way!

Synopsis: Everyone wants to be a star at some point in their life. Become a true leader, a real mover, and quite simply, someone who people can count on to makes things happen. Inside the pages of Perform Like a Rock Star and Still Have Time for Lunch you can uncover ways to attain whole new levels in your own personal peak performance that can bring you greater success and fulfillment in your career - than you ever thought possible - and still have time for lunch . . . and so much more.


Drawing on her background as a speaker, coach and facilitator, author Orna Drawas uses illustrations, rock lyrics, quotes and fables to coach professionals to attain their own peak performance. Packed with practical 21st century techniques and advice, this book is a must for every success library.

Book Review:  Why does everyone need to be a star? Star's have GOALS, and goals make you a success, and Orna can show you success stories to prove it! Goals should be STARs she says: S stated in writing, T time-specific A actionable  R result orientated. Each component is critical to the goals success, and without one, the goal won't succeed normally.

Orna does a really good job of laying different business practices and what works well and reduces time spent on meaningless items. her chapter on how to send BETTER emails was worth reading the book alone! She does a really great job of showing how to cope with interruptions at work.

I really found this a very informative book- especially if you are a manager, looking to be a manager, or about to become one. I think I learned more from this one book, than all the business books in the past year.

This book will really help you make a difference in your professional life, and your personal life too, and I highly recommend it!
