Synopsis
Corporate chairman. Successful businesswoman. Creator of new products. Marketing expert. Philanthropist. Working mom. A family life that produced many moments to celebrate and a few serious ones to grieve. Thought leader Carol Lavin Bernick, drawing from her extensive life and work experiences, shares 300+ highly engaging, inspirational stories in her memoir, Gather As You Go – Sharing Lessons Learned Along the Way. Through her insights, thoughts, and wisdom, she provides people of all ages practical advice to enjoy a more resilient, positive, and productive life. Rather than writing several books, Bernick chose to create one, self-help book imparting easily digestible short stories of her experiences for people with crazy, busy lives. Gather As You Go is part business book - sharing stories from her thirty-seven years at the Alberto Culver Company and encompassing new product development, branding, the company’s cultural overhaul she led, and the challenges in a family-owned business. It’s also part family focused – with advice on raising great kids as a working mom, losing loved ones - one to drugs and one to cancer, and the challenges of and solutions to helping elderly parents. It’s also part coffee table and lifestyle book – providing tips on designing, building and decorating homes; entertaining, throwing great parties and weddings; and creating meaningful and major charitable efforts to make communities stronger through philanthropy. Gather As You Go covers a lot of ground. Organized into 10 chapters that take the form of quick, informative and empowering life lessons and reflections, each chapter features introductory thoughts from well-respected people speaking to their own expertise. With its beautiful photographs and artful illustrations, this substantive, 455-page book is a must-have. From Millennial to Baby Boomer, readers will find Bernick’s teachings to be authentic, tried-and-true, sincere, and down-to-earth.
