Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Imagine three wheelchair racers setting and completing a truly audacious goal: Finishing 50 marathons in 50 states in 50 weeks. Travel with Paul Erway and his fellow racers to the first 14 marathons in a journey that's as life-changing as it is inspiring. While Erway's story is unique and born from tragedy -- suddenly paraplegic at 21 after a car accident -- his insights and attitude are instructive to us all, regardless of our abilities or disabilities. Erway finds solutions and positivity in every challenge, and teaches readers to first do three things when adversity strikes: 1) Overcome your fears. 2) Take control of the situation. 3) Then take an unbelievable ride, and experience a journey you never imagined. What to one person might be a handicap is to Paul Erway an avenue to new possibilities. In this debut book, Erway recounts the planning and excitement of the bold mission to complete 50 marathons in 50 states across 50 weeks. He shares the grueling moments, the surprising lessons, the exhilaration of finish line after finish line, and the amazing people he met along the way. 50 Abilities, Unlimited Possibilities -- Wheeling Through 50 States: From Jackson to the Boston Marathon Bombing is a story you'll never forget. It dares you to believe that we are full of abilities, not disabilities, and that the world presents us with possibilities, not limitations. With the right attitudes and the right goals, anything is possible -- especially when surrounded by the right people (like Erway's family, who treated him immediately after his accident like he was the same person just with better parking privileges). With a foreword by Peter Wilderotter, President and CEO of the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, the nation's foremost advocate dedicated to finding treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury (SCI) and other neurological disorders.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. While some of today's workforce is made up of deep-rooted, dependable staff, a larger portion of roles are transitioning into revolving doors of employee turnover. This impacts levels of customer service, productivity and profitability. The only way for organizations to successfully and sustainably face the new realities of today's workforce and the evolution of employee expectations is through a deep understanding of how to effectively hire and manage shorter-term workers who have a different view of the workplace. This insightful, breakthrough book by Cara Silletto and contributing author Leah Brown is designed to help leaders at all levels discover exactly how our workforce has changed over time, why employers are struggling to keep talent and how to gain better staffing stability. Business leaders know the workforce is changing, yet management strategies have been slow to respond to evolving employee expectations. In a world where employers are fighting to get newer staff to adhere to traditional standards, Staying Power explains how employees and candidates have an advantage over managers and supervisors with greater tenure and titles. Today, nearly all businesses are hiring, and staff have the choice to go elsewhere. The tidal wave of employees with a new mindset regarding loyalty, entitlement and cell phones cannot be stopped, but what leaders can and should do is get to know their new workforce, then build a place where people want to work. Readers of Staying Power are offered insights that will drive big-picture thinking, new understanding about the mindset of today's workforce, and an opportunity to shift their attitudes about who they are hiring. Readers are also provided with tangible operational tools for immediately improving employee retention and profitability within their companies. Readers will discover: - Ways to dedicate more staffing resources to make retention a higher priority and stronger component of the organizational culture - How to diagnose the real reasons staff leave (beyond pay) - Common mistakes managers should avoid that unintentionally cause employee turnover - Best practices for keeping new hires longer. Silletto and Brown's book is a how-to for organizations that need to understand the tangible and intangible costs of excessive turnover, and that haven't yet learned to treat employees as internal customers. The book, peppered with memorable real-life stories, provides fresh insights and proprietary frameworks and tools in three key areas: 1. Understanding the evolution of our workforce by generation. A history and sociology lesson on Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X and Millennials that informs our perceptions of multi-generational workplaces and demonstrates what has shaped our various definitions of professionalism. 2. The issues on the T.A.B.L.E. - those that cause the most conflict in the workplace. An exploration of how workers see technology, authority, work/life balance, loyalty and entitlement differently, and eye-opening real-life stories about divorce and credit card use in the 1980s explain how Millennials gained a different view of the employer/employee relationship. 3. Key areas where businesses can improve to become M.A.G.N.E.T. employers that successfully attract and retain talent. Thoughtful strategies and actionable tactics for improving Management Effectiveness (Communication & Appreciation), Attraction & Recruiting (Employer Brand & Application Processes), Guidance Upon Entry (Onboarding & Activation), New Staffing Models (Scheduling & Advancement), Empowered Champions (Staff Councils & Retention Specialists), and Trust through Transparency (Feedback & Setting Examples). Staying Power reader bonus materials help leaders implement their new learning to take the experience from great read to great results.…
