Sips of Water

 


Sips of Water


Have you experienced moments of heartbreak, trauma, or self-doubt? Do you suffer from anxiety or depression?

Words can provide a therapeutic remedy for times of suffering. Poetry in particular gives us a lens through which to view our deepest and innermost thoughts; giving us fresh insight into the things we fear most, but which often seem to be the most important for healing.

In her book of poetry, Sips of Water, Olivia Einbund provides a profoundly intense and vulnerable collection that examines complex themes of the human experience.

Often written from painful personal experiences, Sips of Water is more of a journey than a simple book. Within its pages, we can all find something of ourselves we relate to. It is the perfect piece to pick up whenever we need to know we are not alone, and that healing is a process.

Leadership With A Purpose

 


 

Leadership With A Purpose:

Motivating Your Engineers


Effectively motivating, inspiring and leading engineering professionals is about putting people first.

Here's how you do it.

In today’s world, effectively motivating and managing highly intelligent technology professionals is challenging. Around the world, people are more educated, informed and highly social about their careers and employers, making retention and employee happiness a full-time job. In fact, companies are beginning to recognize these impacts and have begun employing more “PeopleOps” type human resources professionals to tackle this head-on.

The reality is that most engineers don't leave jobs, they leave managers. While having a swanky and modern human resources strategy helps keep the company on the cutting edge of benefits and overall happiness, it does not solve the root problem – having good managers that motivate engineering teams.

In the remote and global workforce that we all participate in, establishing a healthy work culture with safe boundaries is an ongoing task that cannot be forced. Add in the complexities of global cultural differences and political phenomena; it’s every leader’s nightmare to manage well.

This book will cover what makes an engineering culture, how to cultivate it, and how to build trust with your teams.
After reading this book, you can effectively motivate, inspire and lead engineering professionals of all levels that are happy and loyal to you.

With years of experience within the software engineering and technology sectors, Robert Murphy has become an expert in building healthy company cultures and motivating engineering professionals.

Once deemed "The King of Culture" by a previous employer, he is passionate about helping other technology leaders on their mission to build highly effective teams. In this debut book, Robert describes his proven methods and provides a roadmap to successful leadership with a purpose!

A Duke Always Gets What He Wants

 


A Duke Always Gets What He Wants 


"A Duke Always Gets What He Wants" is a historical romance set in regency London in 1812 and is the first installment in the A Duke Always Series. Get ready to meet Ethan Gray, Duke of Hawksford, a man who lives a life of debauchery and extravagance as one of London's most notorious rakes. When you are a wealthy and powerful duke, you get accustomed to never being denied anything you want. But life takes a major turn for Ethan when his aunt comes to London to present his sister Catherine along with his sister's best friend Lady Persephone Carlisle to the ton for their first London season. Prepare for the drama, romance, and intrigue as this compelling series begins!

In a matter of a few days, Ethan's bachelor residence transitions to a home with three ladies, one of which proves to be exceedingly distracting. 

Persephone Carlisle was the most beautiful woman Ethan had ever seen, but she was the best friend of his sister not to mention an innocent. While he had no qualms about seeking the bed of a young widow or an unhappily married lady of the ton, he did have scruples when it came to taking a woman's innocence, so Persephone was off limits. But every time he sees her, he feels drawn to her and the possessive jealousy he feels every time another man glances in her direction was driving him mad. He wanted her in his bed, but marriage was not on his immediate agenda.

Persephone was excited about the season and all the enticements London has to offer, but the duke's sudden interest has her confused. She knew exactly the kind of man he was, she had read about his exploits in the scandal sheets for years, so she knew that it was a mistake to let him get too close. However, she found it increasingly more difficult to ignore his seductive glances and his kisses were enough to drive any girl to the brink of madness. But he was dangerous, and Persephone knew that falling for his charms would only lead to ruin. Ethan was accustomed to getting anything he wanted, he was a duke after all, and he wanted Persephone in his bed if nothing more. But the lady had sworn to marry only for love, a ridiculous notion especially for ton marriages. But when danger threatens and he is faced with the prospect of losing her forever, he begins to wonder if love is as impossible as he first thought. Unfortunately, he may have waited too late to share his feelings. Would he be able to save the woman he desired above all others, or would this be the first time a duke did not get what he wanted?
