Leadership development by Phoenix publisher

About Leadership development by Phoenix publisher

What is leadership? Do you want to take your career to the next level by improving your leadership skills? Why is leadership one of the most crucial disciplines in managing organizations?
Naturally, some people are believed to be born with leadership qualities, but anyone can be a leader. Contrary to this popular belief, leaders are made by improving certain skills to help them influence and inspire others. Many individuals became great leaders in their careers without previous leadership experience.
For instance, Olive Ann Beech is a force to reckon with in the aviation industry because she rose to become the first woman to lead a big aircraft company following the death of her husband. She joined the industry as a secretary at Beech, Boeing, and Cessna aircraft manufacturers in 1924 (Smith, 2019). She later married Walter Beech and cofounded the Beech Aircraft Corporation in 1932. When her husband died, she took over the leadership role in the company leadership.
If you want to become an effective leader, this book is for you. It primarily focuses on providing a practical and comprehensive understanding of leadership so you can become a great leader in your career. It offers insights and solutions to individuals navigating the complexities of life and business.

This book will be free for 5 days starting the 12th of October.

2020: The YEAR The Earth Stood Still

About 2020: The YEAR The Earth Stood Still

Far too many people are cursed with short memories of even the most impactful events in human history,” writes Calitri. “The objective of ‘2020: The YEAR the Earth Stood Still’ is to prevent the monumental happenings during those 366 days from fading into the ash heap of antiquity. Focusing attention on the sources of this continuing saga is intended to keep alive the painful recollections of national and global government authoritarianism, the grief and suffering perpetrated by sinister egoists, and the ruination of so many innocent lives.”
Presented by Page Publishing, Joe Calitri’s enlightening work serves as a call to action for those who cherish individual liberties and question the expanding reach of government authority, underscoring the enduring importance of safeguarding constitutional rights and preserving the foundations of a free society. Raw and shockingly honest, “2020: The YEAR the Earth Stood Still” is poised to provoke discussion and reflection among readers who seek a deeper understanding of America’s recent history, encouraging them to reexamine their beliefs and perceptions of the events that shaped a nation in flux.

Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1) by Denise Baer

Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1) by Denise Baer

A street fighter and his childhood crush. A forced marriage. Both are hellbent on leaving the streets of Chicago, except the gang alliance won’t let them.

TEAGAN

College is my one-way ticket out of this city.

For years, I distanced myself from the Chicago underworld.

I attend college, work at a florist, and have a boyfriend who knows nothing about my life.

Now the leaders of two rival gangs block my escape. My father is forcing me to marry the son of his rival to forge an alliance. A childhood friend I haven’t seen since I was sixteen.

Joey’s a criminal, born from violence. Street wars run through his veins. I’ll do everything in my power to make this forced marriage fail.

JOEY

Once I find her, I’m fleeing the streets of Chicago.

Most people think of me as a thug. A useless street fighter called Storm.

I’d love nothing more than to get away from this life, but my old man has blackmailed me for as long as I can remember.

I’m forced to marry Teagan, my father’s biggest nemesis’s daughter, and childhood crush. All I have to do is bide my time to sever the hold my old man has on me and disappear forever.

Author’s Note: BREAKING STORM is book one of the STORM DUET. It’s a dark love story between Teagan and Joey. A romantic suspense, enemies-to-lovers, forced marriage, following one couple through disturbing incidences, getting acquainted, lots of steamy moments, and a blood-curdling race to escape. This book ends with a major CLIFFHANGER, so you need to read the books in order. Book two, CHASING STORM, is the conclusion. These books contain adult content and triggers. Reader discretion is advised.

Strange things can be said of the forest that spans the border of two kingdoms long at war. An evil sorcerer has made it his dominion, an elegant enchantress has claimed it as her domain and grants wishes to those who chance upon her, or maybe the forest is guarded by an ancient and wrathful spirit. But Katya calls the forest home, living a life of magic and charms with her partner Ivan.

But a threat looms over their forest, some darkness and danger that Ivan swears to protect her from. Katya finds herself caught up in a web of grudges and deception spanning generations, but most dangerous of all is the beautiful princess who stumbled into their woods. A princess who sets Katya’s heart fluttering with both desire and fear.

As forces rally to rescue the princess or go to war, Katya must take measure of her own powers and decide what she is willing to sacrifice. Will she retreat to the safety of what’s familiar or give up everything she knows to spread her wings and fly?

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri

Chick lit Café Awards First Place to Moonlight Beach: Murder and Magic by Yurie Kiri for best Paranormal Thriller, Crime & Mystery

Moonlight Beach by Yurie Kiri examines the bizarre and outlandish murders, and gruesome crimes being committed at the charming beach town of Rancho, California. It is filled with mystery, witchcraft, paranormal activity, mystical mayhem, and dark magic. This is the perfect novel for fans of these genres. One of the very best I have ever read. It is completely original with unique characters and an incredible, engrossing and gripping plot and storyline.

Body parts are washing up on the beach and the detective is trying figure out who is committing these crimes and what exactly is going on. Then there is also a group of friends using certain drugs and conjuring up spirits. When the group performs the rite on a full moon, their combined strength gives them more power than they originally intended and they cause the spirit of a powerful witch from long ago, called Katomi, to get trapped inside one of the friends’ bodies. This is just one of the various evil occurrences going on in the wealthy community. Only the friends shared strength can protect Katomi from “Roy,” who is an ancient shaman who has been attempting to trap Katomi’s spirit inside dying bodies while he rapes and mutilates each one. Katomi’s spirit can only be released from her host’s body if Roy or the host is killed, but her presence allows the four women to have power over other’s minds which they wield to protect themselves and their coven. In an action-packed plot sequence, as the women attempt to dodge Roy at all costs, another nefarious deal is unraveling. Ike Bracken, a multi-millionaire needs a liver for his young son. His son’s condition can only be improved with a transplant, but the wait is too long. Luckily, Roy is good at murder—murder is what feeds his power—and he’s equally equipped to harvest organs. Especially for cash. As events come to a head, readers will be flying through page after page to see if the women can survive an ancient madman.

The First Cut by John Misak

The First Cut by John Misak

Step back into the 20th Century for a case with twists and turns that will keep you constantly guessing.

In The First Cut, Detective John Keegan faces his first solo case in the year 1999, when the NYPD is still adjusting to new technology, and fear of Y2K looms large. The case seems straightforward at first—Cassandra Lavelle, a rising artist, is brutally murdered, and suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. But Keegan soon finds himself deep in a web of secrets, as a mysterious older man, linked to Cassandra, disappears without a trace. Keegan is left with two suspects and must sift through their secrets, unsure who deserves his trust—or his suspicion. He promises justice to Cassandra, but as he digs deeper, the lines blur, forcing him to decide between two equally plausible suspects.

Complicating matters is his budding relationship with Elena Moreno, an ambitious investigative reporter who’s drawn to the very case he’s working on. Their passion flares, but cracks start to show as Keegan’s obsession with the case overtakes their relationship, pulling him further into a downward spiral.

As Keegan navigates a world on the cusp of digital transformation, he faces the new reality of computer-driven investigations—a world of advanced technology, fraught with fear and opportunity. His choices in this case, and the personal sacrifices he makes, will echo throughout his career, shaping him into the detective he’s destined to become.

Step back into a time before instant answers, where the cost of a missed clue or a bad choice is steep. The First Cut offers readers a thrilling procedural mystery filled with twists, personal sacrifice, and the painful imperfections that define real justice. Grab it now for a compelling journey that will keep you guessing until the final page. Discounted to 99 cents for a limited time.

The First Cut is Book 1 in the John Keegan Retro series which also includes Second Time Around, Third and Long, and Fourth Gear.
