Careers are what we all invest our energy and emotions in, either positively or negatively. Positive being the belief that we can make significant progress in this or another organisation and that it will give us the wherewithal to have a happy and productive life. Negative in that we can feel that everyone is out to get us, and the slippery pole has been freshly greased to scupper us. That it's a "not what you know but who you know" world, and, unfortunately, you don't know anyone. That life's a bitch and then you die!This book can help both of these beliefs, although, together, we'll spend more time focussing on the former. Focussing on the positive belief that you are in control of your career.After all, a stellar career is just a sequence of perfect roles.Finding a perfect role turns out to be something that a number of people have discovered how to do repeatedly. Understanding what and how these clever folk do it has been a life's work for me, and in the book, you'll see that it's not as difficult as you thought.What I observed and learned from talking to and comparing the stellar performers in HP, and Microsoft, was that there is a common formula based on some very simple techniques that, if applied properly, will accelerate promotion, cause great opportunities to be revealed to you and ensure that your capabilities remain relevant to the business.Not a bad formula for a fulfilling career.What is this remarkable formula? It breaks down into just three simple approaches that can deliver the career growth that you're looking for. Just three simple techniques, each of which are explored in depth in this book. They are:*Fully understand your own core needs and requirements from any role and don't compromise.*Be completely responsible, clear and consistent with your own brand, and constantly hone it.*There absolutely is a secret network operating in your organisation - use it!Together, these three elements make up the WaveMaker approach. Why WaveMaker? Because a good career strategy is just like surfing...Like many things in life, careers don't actually exist as an entity. You can't pick them up, you can't smell them and you can't catch them in a jar. Corporations and organisations are merely an illusion created by a collection of likeminded energetic people - if they all changed their minds tomorrow and focussed their energy somewhere else, the corporation would disappear and, like poor old Ozymandias, turn back into sand. What they have in common is energy. Energy created, sustained and propagated by people. Waves are the same thing. Waves are just energy passing through water, solids or the vacuum of space. Be they huge or small, powerful or weak, destructive or beneficial, they are just energy. Careers are simply a different form of wave energy, passing through the medium of people.The career strategy of stellar performers, as opposed to almost everyone else, is to maximise that energy in a beneficial way to assist them in their goals. They do this by adopting the strategy of a surfer. This is a strategy that can work for you, as well.Now, how do you take these ideas on board and use them to change your own career trajectory? Read on and it all becomes clear.

Rachel is a Jew living in Kishinev, Russia. At fourteen, she has dreams of being a writer. But everything is put on hold when a young man is murdered and Rachel is forced to keep the murderer's identity a secret. Tensions mount and Rachel watches as lies and anti-Jewish propaganda leap off the pages of the local newspaper, inciting many to riot against the Jews. Violence breaks out on Easter Sunday, 1903, and when it finally ends, Rachel finds that the person she loves most is dead and that her home has been destroyed. Her main support comes surprisingly from a young Christian named Sergei. With everything against them, the two young people find comfort in their growing bond, one of the few signs of goodness and hope in a time of chaos and violence.

What makes a good story or a screenplay great? The vast majority of writers begin the storytelling process with only a partial understanding where to begin. Some labor their entire lives without ever learning that successful stories are as dependent upon good engineering as they are artistry. But the truth is, unless you are master of the form, function and criteria of successful storytelling, sitting down and pounding out a first draft without planning is an ineffective way to begin. Story Engineering starts with the criteria and the architecture of storytelling, the engineering and design of a story--and uses it as the basis for narrative. The greatest potential of any story is found in the way six specific aspects of storytelling combine and empower each other on the page. When rendered artfully, they become a sum in excess of their parts. You'll learn to wrap your head around the big pictures of storytelling at a professional level through a new approach that shows how to combine these six core competencies which include: • Four elemental competencies of concept, character, theme, and story structure (plot) • Two executional competencies of scene construction and writing voice The true magic of storytelling happens when these six core competencies work together in perfect harmony. And the best part? Anyone can do it!

After losing her job and learning she might also lose her house because of a bad investment, Jess, a fiercely independent and hilariously wry BC grandma, resorts to growing pot in her basement to make ends meet. She then has to juggle her public life as a grandmother and member of the town’s senior women’s group – The Company of Crones – with her secret life as a pot grower. The unusual characters she meets along the way include Swan, the enigmatic young woman who introduces her to the grower’s world, and Marcus, the socially awkward “gardener” who shows her the tricks of the trade. Both of her new young friends are more than they appear, and Jess’ adventures in pot growing break down barriers in both her old and new circles. The delightful outcome of an almost legitimate business leaves Jess and her associates flushed with success.

Based on the true story of a Jewish family's fight to regain a symbol of their lost life, Restitution begins in Prague on the eve of the Nazi invasion. The Reesers know that they must flee Czechoslovakia, but first they deliver their valuable oil paintings into the hands of a Christian colleague for safekeeping. Led by their intrepid matriarch, Mari Reeser, the family make their escape under the nose of the Nazis, arriving in Canada just days before WWII begins. Despite a successful new life in Toronto, the Reesers never forgot what was left behind. When peace returned to Europe, Mari fought for the return of the paintings, only to be thwarted by the Communist regime. Hope sparked again in 1989 when Mari's son, Karl Reeser, received a letter saying the paintings were his if he could retrieve them. Finding all legal means closed to him, he traveled to Prague to make one last try. Here, fate intervened with an unlikely savior named Richard VandenBosch, an official at the Canadian Embassy. Together, he and Karl manage to retrieve the paintings and secrete them in the embassy. The final hurdle -- how to get the paintings to Canada? -- is solved by a resourceful art dealer and smuggler named Theofil Kral, whose honest desire to help the Reeser family restore a symbol of their vanished life sees the four paintings returned to them at last.
