Positive Influence - How to Lead Your World is for those who are new to leadership and is a refresher for experienced leaders as well.

In his executive coaching sessions, Grant takes leaders on a journey through the big ideas of leadership. This book is a professional development tool for leaders at any stage of their career.

The book is written in short, big-idea chapters that allow the leader to digest the concepts easily. This book is a helpful tool for Human Relations and Employee Relations professionals who wish to engage leaders in their organizations. Whether it is the leader who is great on task but poor on people skills or the newly promoted leader, Positive Influence will help. If you want to be prepared for leadership opportunities in your future, Positive Influence will help you be ready to take on the challenge.

Grant's leadership seminars and coaching is designed to develop effective, sustainable and renewable leaders. To be effective as a leader, a person has to be able to apply what is needed when it is needed to the opportunity they have to be the leader. Sustainable leadership means that a person is not a flash in the pan or someone who is only able to lead for a short term before their effectiveness fades. Instead, with a whole-person focus, they will understand how to not just sprint but do the leadership marathon as well.

Renewable leaders are able to understand how to continue to learn and grow rather than become stuck in a method or mindset that is inflexible. Leadership has many styles and forms. Organizations thrive or wither depending on the quality and style of leaders they have. Positive Influence goes beyond the do's and don'ts of leadership to explore a whole-person approach to being a leader. This book celebrates those willing to take on the challenges of leadership at any level of business or life.

It is written to empower leaders to serve their teams and customers while creating a personal story they will be proud to own. What will this influential generation leave as its legacy?

Retirement planning is difficult enough without having to contend with misinformation. Unfortunately, much of the advice that is dispensed is either unsubstantiated or betrays a strong vested interest. In The Essential Retirement Guide, Frederick Vettese analyses the most fundamental questions of retirement planning and offers some startling insights.

The book finds, for example that: Saving 10 percent a year is not a bad rule of thumb if you could follow it, but there will be times when you cannot do so and it might not even be advisable to try.

Most people never spend more than 50 percent of their gross income on themselves before retirement; hence their retirement income target is usually much less than 70 percent.

Interest rates will almost certainly stay low for the next 20 years, which will affect how much you need to save. Even in this low-interest environment, you can withdraw 5 percent or more of your retirement savings each year in retirement without running out of money. Your spending in retirement will almost certainly decline at a certain age so you may not need to save quite as much as you think. As people reach the later stages of retirement, they become less capable of managing their finances, even though they grow more confident of their ability to do so!

Plan for this before it is too late. Annuities have become very expensive, but they still make sense for a host of reasons. In addition, The Essential Retirement Guide shows how you can estimate your own lifespan and helps you to understand the financial implications of long-term care. Most importantly, it reveals how you can calculate your personal wealth target - the amount of money you will need by the time you retire to live comfortably. Start Over.

A film's ending is crucial. It is the last thing an audience sees, and often the last thing it remembers, before leaving the theater.

Indeed, it is no stretch to suggest that, more than any other part of the film, the ending determines whether the audience likes a film or not.

By extension, the ending of a script is probably the last thing the reader will remember when they put it down An otherwise great script will likely be passed on if it does not end well. The Third Act is the first screenwriting instructional book to focus entirely on that most important part of a script - the ending. Like the three-act paradigm for the entire screenplay, The Third Act offers a unique structure for the writer to follow when writing the last act of their script.

No other screenwriting book offers this simple structural approach to endings in a three-act story. Additionally, The Third Act provides suggestions as to which type of ending writers should consider for their particular story. A checklist is provided at the end of each chapter, giving the reader some suggestions to apply in their writing based on the structural element being explored in that chapter.

A longer and more comprehensive list of suggestions appears in an appendix.
