Greg Gazin

Corey is a happy young boy who loves to play and enjoy life. He can talk to his teachers and his friends, but when it comes to speaking in front of a group of people, like ‘Show and Share’ or ‘Show and Tell’ at school, he’s scared. His tummy hurts and he gets butterflies in his stomach. He’s afraid the kids will laugh and make fun of him, like last time. Little does he know, that today that will change. He will make a new friend who will help him discover his confidence and show him, with a little system that any child can easily learn, how to tell a story and overcome his fear so he can deliver his presentation and outsmart those butterflies.

The fear of public speaking is one of the top fears in the world. In fact Jerry Seinfeld once said that people fear pubic speaking more than death and so the man delivering the eulogy would rather be in the coffin. For children, not having the ability to communicate with confidence in front of others can greatly hinder their ability to succeed in the future. In a fun and entertaining and storytelling style, this book can show children of all ages a way that might help them alleviate those butterflies in their stomach, overcome that fear of ridicule earlier in the life which might just help them go a long way.

Alexis Leclair

In retirement, did you expect to be asking “What’s missing?” Retirement has always been a huge life change. Although we still call it by the same name, today’s retirement is different. It’s longer. It’s healthier. Options are diverse. Our needs and expectations may not be the same as generations before us.

For some of us, a time in retirement may come – earlier or later – when all the activities that fill our time are simply not enough. Not enough to be satisfying. Not enough to be meaningful. We search for more. We search for what’s missing.

This book tries to make sense of how that particular time feels and how to handle it. With this understanding, we may be able to answer the question “What’s missing?” and then move on to find what’s next: our retirement groove.

They proved that there was still time to help expose boys to the trucking industry while all the time looking out for their employees with special trips for safe driving.

An interesting book written by a fourth Generation Canadian about a small country church founded in the late 1880's by German pioneer settlers. The church and cemetery, still in operation, is one of the best kept secrets in Alberta. The church stands as a landmark and serves the surrounding area. Its Ladies group is believed to be the oldest continuous operating Church Ladies group of any denomination in Alberta.

The author shares some of the struggles the church has had and how it attempted to rectify the issues. Hopefully, this country church can continue to operate in a community serving 6th and 7th generations still living in the same area.

The book was written in recognition of Canada’s 150 birthday.

Any profits from the sale of this book will be donated to the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Mom How do You

Ordering information for Mom...How do You...?

If you love to bake, like I do, somewhere along the way, someone had to introduce you to the joy of transforming that recipe you just had to try into something that is actually edible! For many of us, it was our mom. Maybe you grew up at her side, helping first by getting to lick the spoon, or maybe the eggbeater, or even that special treasure – the BOWL! I still can’t resist trying out the batter of any recipe I happen to be trying out. I insist it is because I need to know if it is good!

As you got older, you’d help by adding in the ingredients that she had carefully measured out. Sometimes, it would even end up in the mixing bowl! Eventually, we’d graduate to trying out that recipe ourselves – under Mom’s strict supervision, of course!

Every time I bake, it takes me back to those days. The days I shared with my mom; the joy we both found in baking. Thank you, Mom! I’ve been privileged to be able to share similar times with my two children and I hope that their memories are as fond as mine.

The idea for this book came from many conversations with my grown children who would call me up or send me a message online and ask me… “Mom, how do you…?” Well, sometimes the answer was at hand or deep in the recesses of memory, but other times I would have to go searching for a recipe or an answer. So, it is for that reason that I dedicate this book to my children. So, sometimes they will have the answer at hand.

One thing that is a little different in this book compared to most cookbooks and household hint books is that with many, there is a story that goes along with it. I also have included a short story at the beginning of chapters, just for fun and to share, mostly for my kids. Now, if you are like me, sometimes you buy cookbooks, not for the recipes, but to read!

I’ve spoken and conducted training sessions, including one based on what I share in ‘Running TOO Fast’ across the globe. I’ve found myself working more with leaders at various levels within associations and organizations as well as corporations.

What I’ve found is many of them share the same challenge. They are TOO busy! They are tired! I hear leaders telling me, “…life is good; but, out of control, over-committed and with a blurring lack of focus on the important things and people in their lives.” I’ve been there! I’ve been a freedom fighter for years, working to recapture my time and take personal leadership over my life, goals, and actions.

Ordering information for Generate More Sales... even in tough times

How to gain the winning edge on your competition, ‘even’ in tough times

We have encountered ‘tough times’ in the past and are currently working through another series of challenges on a global level.

“Many sales people are ‘ASK’ resistant – they are afraid to ask for the sale. As a result, they fail to meet or exceed their full potential in the sales arena.”

Sales can be a challenging arena, ‘even’ more so in tough times. I believe these little tips as laid out in this book can help you generate more sales, and repeat business, in spite of your circumstances. They work, if you do!


Ordering information for Sales Success... even in tough times

Ultimately, the measurement and review of your value to your firm, as a sales person, is directly tied to your creative ability to sell. Your leadership team will look at your sales volume at any particular time during your firm’s term of measurement. That look might be monthly, quarterly, a twice yearly performance appraisal, or year end. But it will happen and it makes good sense to be both aware of it and prepare to ensure your sales results stand up under this scrutiny.

Sales master W. Clement Stone challenged his sales team to “Set a goal so Big, that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind.

This is not a time to play it safe, nor is it time to listen to those (even those who may be relatively successful in selling) who would tell you setting goals is a waste of time. It isn’t and your success and growth in the sales field will be directly tied to your ability to formally set and achieve your goals. You can reach sales success even in tough times and we want to help you in that worthy quest.

Ordering information for Running to WIN!

We live in an increasingly hectic and demanding world. The demands of running a business or having a career, overlap and conflict with the demands of having a life, being a spouse or parent, and enjoying the fruits of our labor. Many of us are already running as fast as we can – and we’re not keeping up. This e-manual is designed for those who are “Running to WIN!” It is written by someone who has learned the value of leveraging his time investment for greater success and productivity. You can too!

If you are like me, you may occasionally find yourself with too much on your already “full” plate. You’ve said “YES” a few too many times, without counting the cost, or estimating the time actually needed to do what you’ve just promised. As a writer and speaker I am constantly tempted to take on "just one more client", "just one more engagement", or "just one more writing project." In doing so, I often find myself staying up late to meet commitments or rushing from airport to venue.

Take hope – take action! You can make the necessary changes to free up your time for the important people and priorities in your life.

It’s your time. Why not choose to invest it more wisely? When you are Running to WIN! – why not learn how to finish YOUR race and still have a life.


Ordering information for Get to Yes!

If you want to be consistently successful and persuasive in the sales or negotiation process you need only understand and apply some simple ideas. Make it simple, keep your focus, and work through to a positive result that works for all parties.

As a sales professional or negotiator:

  • You will be more effective, when you are sensitive and aware of the real needs, motivation and position of your client.
  • You will be more powerful, when you are clear about your own needs, motivation, position and what you bring to the table.
  • You will be more persuasive when you learn to actively listen, state your case with clarity and confidence.

We need to explore ways of being more effective with our time which will free up our energy and resources for our most important goal - finding, negotiating with, selling, and retaining our clients.

To be effective in sales and business, you must deal with three areas. Pain, Gain, Sustaining

To the degree that you work with your clients to take care of these areas your profitability and long term viability will be impacted. If we help people deal with their pain - will they need us when it's gone? Helping them to gain offers a bit more opportunity to serve. But if you can work with them thru the pain, help them gain and then take them thru to helping them grow and sustain growth you will become a major part of their team.


Ordering information for The Courage to Lead!

 

In life, we have the opportunity thrust upon us to make changes, and to take personal leadership in dealing with those changes. A death, a major illness, or a major economic upheaval can force us to take stock of our lives at that point, and make sometimes-radical changes. To take leadership in our own lives and the lives of those we love, lead or work with on a daily basis.

As competition becomes more global in our changing economy, we find businesses and professional associations being stretched and tested. Staffing has become more challenging, and so has training and marketing.

Customers are becoming more demanding and specific in what they want. Change is pushed on us everywhere we turn. We can avoid change, can’t we? That’s what too many business leaders think and miss their full potential.

Isn’t it better to seize the opportunities to change and grow? Isn’t it better to be a leader who is open to learn, stretch, and to push yourself and your team past your own comfort zones? Isn’t it better to lead than follow in the dust?

This change is a creative leadership choice! Life is a series of changes and choices, why not take personal leadership and control their direction and pace? Why not decide to be a leader, not a follower!

It takes courage to lead, but it is so worth it to see your own growth and the growth and success of those you lead. Check out some of these idea-rich team empowerment strategies. Go for it!

Ordering information for Creative Conflict

Effective leadership is a commitment to interaction and connection with people, some of whom are difficult to deal with on occasion. One thing I have learned over many years, in a variety of leadership and team roles, is conflict naturally happens when people come together.

Conflict results when people with varying viewpoints, cultures, experiences and agendas attempt to connect or co-operate in a relationship, a venture or even a common cause of great importance. CONFLICT is simply a bi-product of the interaction and connection between people. Handling it effectively is a part of the leadership process!

Resolve to be an ‘effective’ leader and welcome ‘creative conflict’ as an opportunity to help your team grow and succeed.
