Attitudes, like viruses are catching. They sweep through organization like a tsunami bringing a waves of productivity or eroding morale. People take their cues of how to feel and react to daily events from each other and especially their leaders. Employees want and need a consistent positive work environment to do their best work. Research has demonstrated that positive feelings enhance performance. They look to their leaders to set the behavioral example of the tone and impact of their interactions. While you may be clear about your company direction and strategy, how clear are you about the attitudes that you carry to work? Many people intend to inspire people to do their best but inadvertently end up intimidating them with their negative attitude. Your attitude speaks volumes before you utter a word. Like your shadow, you often are unaware of it. Your attitude permeates everything about you: the way you think, the tone of your voice, what words you choose, and even how you move your body - your body language. While you may think that your thoughts and feelings are purely private, your body is mirroring and in fact is speaking your mind. What you are thinking and feeling gets translated into your body language, and is very much like those electronic signs with a message that flashes, this time across your forehead. Most people don' t realize that they are communicating a non-verbal message that often may override the words they speak. Most of the time you may think the problem is just the other person who is being defensive when in fact you may be sending signals that are provoking that response. It is not necessarily easy to catch your self and adjust your mindset/attitude. Most people are consumed with the daily fires that flare up and the deadlines that are looming in their future. This book gives people access and tools to become aware and shift to a positive and productive mindset.

I want to thank God and the Lord Jesus Christ for using me to write such a great story. I was in the music business for twenty-six years and had only minor success and I retired from the business with the satisfaction that I gave it my best effort, but also a what if I would have made it sigh in my heart. I loved God and served him for many years, but nothing could prepare a person for something like this. The table cracking during the writing sessions reminded me of a teacher hitting the desk with a ruler to get the class to be quiet. Make no mistake about it the good Lord loved for me to sing to him the different gospel songs that I mentioned in the book and even some of my own songs from time to time but playing around and joking were not taken kindly of when it was time to go to work. I was disobedient one time during the process and I felt a burning pain in my foot after one of the writing sessions that I talked about in the God will not be mocked chapter of the book. The bottom line is we really are made in the image of God and we were intended to dwell with him on a daily basis. My point is that the veil was gone. That's how close we are to God. We think of God in some faraway place and he is, but he is also right beside us and he really wants to commune with us as a Savior who understands what we go through and feel. I want to thank everyone that helped me along the way especially my fiancée, Diamond. I also want to acknowledge my roots from southern Virginia to my current home in Fort Washington, MD. The events in my journey were incredible, but the main point was what my Savior Jesus Christ told me on the day he blessed me to have his spirit, "Tell my children to get right. I am coming back soon." Look at the events in the world now. Hey children of God, get right.
One conversation is all it takes to break a world wide open. Seventeen-year-old Macy Lyons has been through something no one should ever have to experience. And she’s dealt with it entirely alone. On the outside, she’s got it pretty good. Her family’s well-off, she’s dating the cute boy next door, she has plenty of friends, and although she long ago wrote her mother off as a superficial gym rat, she’s thankful to have allies in her loving, laid-back dad and her younger brother. But a conversation with a boy at a party one night shakes Macy out of the carefully maintained complacency that has defined her life so far. The boy is Sebastian Ruiz, a recovering addict who recognizes that Macy is hardened by dark secrets. And as Macy falls for Sebastian, she realizes that, while revealing her secret could ruin her seemingly perfect family, keeping silent might just destroy her. The Fix follows two good-hearted teenagers coming to terms with the cards they were dealt. It’s also about the fixes we rely on to cope with our most shameful secrets and the hope and fear that come with meeting someone who challenges us to come clean.

Whoever you need to get a message through to—an employer, team, committee, staffer, neighbor, teacher, student, or spouse—this book will show you how to get their attention by: • Using your head. Before you even think about opening your mouth, you need to think long and hard about the person you want to influence and how to say what you want. • Connecting with your listener(s). How to establish chemistry and intimacy with your listeners—from an individual to a stadium-sized audience—to make them want to listen to you. • Keeping their interest. Why “soft” communication, such as storytelling and picture-painting, are important devices, and how to use them effectively. Plus, how to avoid the dreaded “drone factor.” • Saying it right. Speech and body language techniques make a lasting impression. • Anticipating and overcoming the negatives. How to recognize disaster before it strikes, and handle it when it does. Each chapter also features a topic-specific “plan of attack,” plus client stories, checklists, worksheets, and quizzes. It can be hard to get through in today’s noisy world—but for those trying to get a raise, motivate a team, organize a group, or just get better customer service, these proven methods help you say what you mean to get what you want.
When Art Mimics Life, Somebody’s Going to Get What’s Coming to Them Henry Lindon's flight across the north Atlantic was turbulent and sleepless. His plane has just touched down in Amsterdam, where he’s come to work as a visiting professor. Lindon is torn about leaving his troubled wife, Marylou, behind in Dallas, but relieved and excited to start a new chapter in a lively city. The taxi drops him off at an elegant building at Roetersstraat 8-1, where he’s greeted by his university liaison and soon-to-be neighbor, the lovely and spunky art professor, Bernadette Gordon. After settling into his apartment, Lindon changes clothes and sets out to explore canals and cafés, wondering what the dinner invitation from Bernadette means for his fresh start. But troubles from the past soon cross the Atlantic. Lindon discovers that notorious Dutch art forger Han van Meegeren, born in 1899, is about to play a part in Lindon’s own personal drama. With evil closing in, Lindon, Bernadette, and Marylou find that secrets of the art world may hold the key to settling old scores and putting a predator away for good. Whether you are familiar with the world of Henry Lindon from author Clay Small’s first book, Heels Over Head, or this is your introduction to his works, you’re in for an exciting and unusual international adventure with characters that will live on in your memory long after you’ve finished the book.
