Managing production on a television or film set is rich in conflict, resolution, danger, stress, inappropriate behavior, creativity, and impossible goals. Where else could a person struggle with temperamental wildlife, meet the unattainable demands of eccentric talent, and conquer budget and scheduling limitations that seem insurmountable — all on the same day? These experiences have provided the author with a treasure chest of unusual stories that have shaped her career philosophy, management style, and ethical values both as a woman and a working mother. Each year, over one million women enter the workforce, many in the entertainment business. With their formal education behind them, they are looking for advice to help them navigate the business world and help guide them in meeting their life goals. Can This Elephant Curtsy on Cue? provides just this type of advice with an entertaining spin in well-organized, easy-tounderstand rules that are derived from personal experiences in over thirty television shows, feature films, mini-series, movies made for television, or documentaries. A fundamental insight into the world of television and feature film production told through a series of humorous, heartbreaking, or horrific personal stories by an eighteen-year veteran in the entertainment business. Only rarely does a book come along that so skillfully integrates entertainment, education, inspiration, wisdom, and revelation as this one.

Presentation Mastery Is the Key to Professional and Personal Success. As presentation coach to America’s top CEOs, Tony Jeary has become known as Mr. Presentation™. In his work with more than 500 world-class organizations in 35 countries, he has found a common denominator in every situation: Your success in life depends upon how you approach the millions of opportunities before you. And in this insightful and compelling book, Jeary reveals the eight simple secrets that you can put to work immediately to achieve dramatic results both at work and at home — and everywhere else! Unless you’re a hermit living on a mountaintop, your life largely consists of your interactions with the people around you. Whether you call them presentation skills or people skills, these eight essential practices will allow you to master any interaction, whether it involves a roomful of colleagues, a small group, or just one other person. You will learn to understand both why the eight essentials work as well as how they work, including: the single word that will convince 93 percent of your listeners every time the big question presenters consistently forget to ask themselves the 10 personality types you must be able to recognize and handle the firepower of your own Presentation Arsenal the magic behind the mnemonic I P R E S E N T. Engaging, informative, and loaded with useful anecdotes, this book will teach you easy-to-use skills that change the way you approach every situation and that will have an immediate impact on you, both professionally and personally. Because your life is a series of presentations.Amazon.com Review
Communication coach Tony Jeary estimates that we make one hundred presentations every day. He tells readers, “Whether you are talking to a soccer coach or potential client, the way you present your thoughts and ideas to people have a profound effect on the shape of your life.” Jeary paves the road to friendly persuasion with theory and practice in Life is a Series of Presentations.
Drawing upon established research in the psychology of influence and neuro-linguistic programming, he guides readers to define their “presentation universe” by using a “3 Dimension” (what-why-how) outline. Although Jeary introduces eight general practices of successful presenters, he shines in describing the practical nuances of presentations including how to: do homework to understand an audience, cut tensions that interfere with rapport, give an audience breathing space, handle hecklers, wrestle stage fright to the ground, and build a presentation arsenal of anecdotes.
A call to self-awareness adds depth to his strategies. For example, one insightful chapter lists eight inhibitors (such as perfectionism, desire to please, aloofness, and good student syndrome) that sabotage presentations. Another section focuses on the anatomy of how to say “thank-you”–and what it communicates about a speaker’s self regard. At times, the chapters suffer from too many theories backing up Jeary’s smart suggestions. But this is an insightful book on how to change someone’s mind. –Barbara Mackoff

Most women today are expert multi-taskers, hefting a skillet in one hand and a half-packed diaper bag in the other, all while emailing a client or boss. It’s a juggling act that can take a toll on the most organized person. Most women, though, are pretty good at keeping all the objects in the air because they know if the drop one, then someone or something suffers–faith, husband, children, or career. In Blessed Are the Jesus Chicks, Miranda Bradley offers a practical guide to balancing the complex issues working Christian moms face–such as childcare, careers, marriage, faith, and friendship. Hers is the perspective of one who not only has “been there,” but who is still struggling to keep God at the top of her priority list. Readers will come away with the knowledge that they are not alone, with the inspiration to embrace their sometimes chaotic lives, and with the reassurance of Christ’s everlasting grace.

Career or motherhood? Do you have to sacrifice one to be truly successful in the other? And if you’re trying to do both, will you have to compromise your career path or your child’s needs? Is “having it all” even realistic, or just plain fantasy? Leading Stanford University psychologist Dr. Laraine Zappert draws upon her twenty years of clinical and research experience to answer these questions and create a road map of innovative solutions. Through her findings from a landmark study of more than three hundred female graduates of Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, Dr. Zappert addresses such critical concerns as: choosing between career and family handling the job stress and the demands of parenting the best time to have children — and what effect they’ll have on a career keeping relationships healthy feeling confident about the decision to tackle the challenges of home and work.

In this provocative book, economist and work/life expert Robert Drago constructs a unique vision of the meaning of balance, unmasking the real reasons most Americans lead unbalanced lives. Sifting through the vast body of relevant research from a range of academic disciplines, including new findings from the author’s own studies, Striking a Balance: Work, Family, Life examines the deeply held but unexamined beliefs about work, womanhood, and society that are responsible for our out-of-balance lives. In his optimistic final chapter, Drago calls on us to challenge those beliefs, and provides a road map for change. If we take this path, he argues, we will not only improve our life balance, but also address the nearly one-fifth of our population who require but do not receive adequate care, the “new gender gap” between women who care for others and women who succeed in high-powered careers, and even the rise in income inequality. With a forward by Juliet B. Schor, author of The Overworked American: The Unexpected Decline of Leisure.
