The Least Retraumatizing Read on Childhood Sexual Abuse.
For Survivors, by a Survivor.
Healing Honestly is a candid, poignant, and often funny survivor-to-survivor guide to navigating the salty waters of untrue stories and victim-blaming narratives that survivors of child sex abuse hear every day.
Survivors of child sex abuse (CSA) are inundated with untrue stories of their abuse, the aftermath, and what their healing journey should look like. The truth is those stories are a bunch of hot garbage.
Healing Honestly is a guide for survivors, written by a survivor, helping to break through the negative self-talk and debunk the myths that impact victims of CSA, such as:
There is a real survivor out there, and we are not it.
It happened so long ago that we should be over it by now.
We are having too much sex because of our trauma, and also, we are having too little sex because of our trauma.
With an approachable style that makes heavy topics not so damn scary, this book shows how trauma survivors can learn to identify these untrue stories that often come up in dating, in friendships, in families, at work, and more. Readers will discover strategies for turning down the volume on the bullshit so that they can hear their own wisdom and inner truth more clearly.
Full of wit and humor, Healing Honestly offers practical strategies for survivors of sex abuse to support themselves in living full and vibrant lives.

This book is a practical, evidence-based guide to seven key leadership disciplines that will help anyone working in healthcare to pursue brighter futures.
In this book, Andrew Garman looks at the major changes facing healthcare organizations and the leadership competencies required to successfully meet those challenges. He explains how people become more effective leaders over time and what science tells us works best in making this happen.
At the heart of this book are seven universal disciplines—values, health system literacy, self-development, relations, execution, boundary-spanning, and transformation—which Garman divides into “enabling” and “action” disciplines. The enabling disciplines encompass the foundational work that makes leadership efforts more effective: learning more about ourselves, deepening our understanding of the world around us, and taking care of ourselves. The action disciplines describe leadership in the context of getting the work done: setting and resetting direction, collaborating inside and outside our organizations, anticipating what's coming, and helping people prepare for it. Collectively, they form an evidence-based common language of leadership that readers can easily map to any model that their organization or profession may already be using.
Each chapter provides a description of the discipline, illustrates why it is important, and offers specific advice on how to raise proficiency. Appendixes offer step-by-step guidance on recruiting and engaging good mentors, along with input on developing long-term and foresight skills.

This book is a practical, evidence-based guide to seven key leadership disciplines that will help anyone working in healthcare to pursue brighter futures.
Andrew Garman looks at both the major changes facing healthcare organizations and the leadership competencies required to successfully meet those challenges. He offers a glimpse into our more distant future and how our health systems-and the demands of leaders-could evolve. He also explains how people become more effective leaders over time and what the research has to say about what works best in making this happen.
Garman introduces the seven primary disciplines associated with effective leadership: values, health system literacy, self-development, relations, execution, boundary-spanning, and transformation. Each discipline is rooted in research on leadership effectiveness, including studies conducted with the National Center for Healthcare Leadership. He also provides additional tools and resources to help people on their leadership journey.

Stay interviews prevent exit interviews!
You can't afford to lose them. They're your stars and your solid citizens. You wonder if they're happy in your organization—and what might keep them there. To find out, you could:
A. Conduct a survey—then try to guess who said what.
B. Take note of their latest tattoos. Is your company logo among them?
C. Ask, “What will keep you here?”
The correct answer is C. It's the opening line of a great stay interview, and it could make the difference between keeping and losing your best people.
Worried that your talented people will want things you can't deliver, like more money or a big promotion? Beverly Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans have a simple four-step process for dealing with that. Not sure how to get started? They provide dozens of suggested questions and icebreakers. Think you don't have time? They offer all kinds of creative time-saving options for where, when, and how you can do stay interviews.

The latest offering from the bestselling duo of Bev Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans-who have sold over 800,000 copies of their previous titles in twenty-two languages-offers a radically simple idea: you can avoid having “exit” interviews when employees are leaving if you have “stay" interviews that will keep them.
Since 1999 Bev Kaye and Sharon Jordan-Evans have been teaching managers how to conduct stay interviews, a concept they originated. It seems so simple-just ask what would make your key employees stay. Yet most managers will admit they are not conducting stay interviews (and their bosses are not conducting them either!). Why? Because they're afraid of opening Pandora's box. They ask, “What if I ask my talented people what will keep them and they all say money or a promotion or a Tesla?” Good point. So the fear of being unable to deliver on someone's request gets in the way of having the most crucial dialogue of all.
This book highlights why stay interviews are important; it underscores the real costs of talent lost, both tangible and intangible. Kaye and Jordan-Evans teach managers to hold these conversations and to do so with joy-not dread. They equip them with an easy four-step process they can use when an employee tosses them a tough-to-deliver-on request. It works like magic. There is to date no stay interview guide designed for and written directly to managers; this will be the first.

The ultimate guide to naming your product or business has been updated throughout with twice as many resources as before, new stories (of both hits and flops), and an entirely new chapter on the power of names in the workplace.
Too many new companies and products have names that look like the results of a drunken Scrabble game (Xobni, Svbtle, Doostang). In this entertaining and engaging book, ace-naming consultant Alexandra Watkins explains how anyone—even noncreative types—can create memorable and effective brand names. No degree in linguistics required.
The heart of the book is Watkins's proven SMILE and SCRATCH Test. A great name makes you SMILE because it is Suggestive—evokes something about your brand; is Memorable—makes an association with the familiar; uses Imagery—aids memory through evocative visuals; has Legs—lends itself to a theme for extended mileage; and is Emotional—moves people.
A bad name, on the other hand, makes you SCRATCH your head because it is Spelling challenged—looks like a typo; is a Copycat—similar to competitors' names; is Restrictive—limits future growth; is Annoying—seems forced and frustrates customers; is Tame—feels flat, merely descriptive, and uninspired; suffers from the Curse of Knowledge—speaks only to insiders; and is Hard to pronounce—confuses and distances customers.
This 50 percent–new second edition has double the number of brainstorming tools and techniques, even more secrets and strategies to nab an available domain name, a brand-new chapter on how companies are using creative names around the office to add personality to everything from cafeterias to conference rooms, and much more.
