How African-American professionals can combine their personal strengths with the wisdom of others and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy in the workplace.
If the name Randal Pinkett sounds familiar, it may be because Pinkett was the first African-American winner on The Apprentice. When he won, this black man also became the only contestant to be asked to share his victory-with a white woman.
The request (and Pinkett's subsequent refusal) set off a firestorm of controversy that inevitably focused on the issue of race in the American workplace and in society. For generations, African-Americans have been told that to succeed, they need to work twice as hard as everyone else. But as millions of black Americans were reminded by Pinkett's experience, sometimes hard work is not enough.
Black Faces in White Places is about "the game"-that is, the competitive world in which we all live and work. The book offers 10 revolutionary strategies for playing, mastering, and changing the game for the current generation, while undertaking a wholesale redefinition of the rules for those who will follow. It is not only about shattering the old "glass ceiling," but also about examining the four dimensions of the contemporary black experience: identity, society, meritocracy, and opportunity.
Ultimately, it is about changing the very concept of success itself. Based on the authors' considerable experiences in business, in the public eye, and in the minority, the book shows how African-American professionals can (and must) think and act both Entrepreneurially and "Intrapreneurially," combine their collective strengths with the wisdom of others, and plant the seeds of a positive and lasting legacy.

Описание:
Avid North American birders share wit, wisdom, advice, and what fuels their passion for birds.
Birding gets you outside, helps you de-stress, exercises your body and mind, puts your day-to-day problems in perspective, and can be lots of fun. Birders know this, and in this collection of thirty-seven brief essays, birders from diverse backgrounds share their sense of wonder, joy, and purpose about their passion (and sometimes obsession).
From the Pacific Ocean to Central Park, from the rainforest in Panama to suburban backyards-no matter what their habitat, what good birders have in common is a curiosity about the natural world and a desire to share it with others. In these delightful essays, each accompanied by an endearing drawing, devoted birders reveal their passion to be fulfilling, joyful, exhilarating, and maybe even contagious.
Contributors include many well-known birders, such as Richard Crossley, Pete Dunne, Kenn Kaufman, Michael O'Brien, Bill Thompson, and Julie Zickefoose.
A portion of the proceeds goes to the American Birding Association, North America's largest membership organization for active birders.
It's time to be the best person you can be. It's time for YOU to reach your FULL potential. It's time to tap into ALL your unique traits and talents that can propel you to greatness. It's time to face all the challenges and obstacles this world will throw at you with the quiet confidence that you CAN and WILL overcome. It's time to understand that, at your disposal, you have the tools needed to be the best you can be. It's time to realize that the ONLY thing really holding you back from achieving your dreams is YOU. It's time to realize that you are a very complex and intricate individual, and to perform at your best, you must work on ALL aspects of your life. It's time to believe WITHOUT A DOUBT that no matter who you are or what stage of life you're in, you still have the ability to reach heights you never thought possible. We've all heard this before, but you may wonder, "What does it all mean?" Many of us are living our life like it is a giant jigsaw puzzle; some pieces are in place, while others are lost or still jumbled. To be the best you can be, all your pieces must be in place, and it's up to you to put them in the appropriate sections. For example: Being a successful, wealthy person isn't very enjoyable if you are ill or have health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a heart condition. No matter how talented or gifted a person is, they will never reach their full potential if they have low self-esteem, doubt their own abilities, or are easily discouraged by others. If a person is full of anger and resentment, they will have a difficult time enjoying life and living it to the fullest, as they may be preoccupied with all the wrongs done to them. While these are separate examples, it's important to understand that shortcomings in one aspect of your life could have a ripple effect and drastically affect other aspects. The purpose of this book is to help you become physically, mentally and spiritually fit- simultaneously-with each aspect of fitness having its own section. Many of us tend to focus on our spirituality, while neglecting our physical health. Others demean themselves and lose all self-respect in the quest for money or success. Instead of dealing with their issues head on, some will abuse alcohol, drugs, or engage in other harmful activities in hopes of avoiding the situation. This is just a few of the ways we may be out of balance, and it's up to you to put all the pieces together You only have one life, and it's up to YOU to live it to the fullest. No one else can do it for you, so that means it's TIME to make things right
