Book excerpt: "La'Wana Harris has opened this coach's eyes to the power of coaching practices to create new paths for diversity and inclusion work—whether or not you are formally trained as a coach. Please read this book and help create workplaces with honest engagement and access for all." —Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers 50 #1 Executive Coach and two-time #1 Leadership Thinker in the world The ugly truth about diversity is that some people worry they must give up their power for others to have a chance. La'Wana Harris's Inclusion Coaching method helps people realize that sharing power isn't the same as losing it. The elephant in the room with diversity work is that people with privilege must use it to allow others equal access to power. This is often why diversity efforts falter—people believe in diversity until they feel that they have to give something up. How do we talk them through this shift? La'Wana Harris introduces Inclusion Coaching, a new tool based on cutting-edge research that identifies the stages of preparation, implementation, and “self-work” necessary to help individuals, teams, and organizations build a sustainable culture of inclusion. Harris's six-stage COMMIT model—Commit to courageous action, Open your eyes and ears, Move beyond lip service, Make room for controversy and conflict, Invite new perspectives, and Tell the truth even when it hurts—provides a proven process for making people aware of their own conscious and unconscious biases and concrete steps to make inclusion an embedded reality. Harris offers managers and diversity coaches new models to empower everyone from employees to CEOs to “do” inclusion and address deep-rooted biases that are often invisible. She addresses the growing need to challenge bias and build authentic cultures where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.

But will Mitch be able to put the past aside to help Skye get out from under her father's thumb…and help himself recover from a broken heart?

Book Synopsis Lip Service by : Marianne Lafrance

Download or read book Lip Service written by Marianne Lafrance and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2011-08-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert in nonverbal communication tackles the science of smiles and their extraordinary social impact. When someone smiles, the effects are often positive: a glum mood lifts; an apology is accepted; a deal is struck; a flirtation begins. But not all smiles are equally benign: a rival grins to get under your skin; a bully's smirk unsettles his mark. Who flashes more fake smiles, popular kids or unpopular kids? Is it good or bad when a bereaved person smiles? Much more than cheerful expressions, smiles are social acts with powerful consequences. Drawing on her research conducted at Yale University and Boston College as well as the latest studies in psychology, medicine, anthropology, biology, and computer science, Marianne LaFrance explores the compelling science behind the smile, revealing that this familiar expression is not as simple as it first may seem. Her groundbreaking work shows how the smile says much more than we realize—or care to admit. To read this book is to learn just how much the smile influences our lives and our relationships.

Book excerpt: November 2101. Journalist Abbie Moon is a modern girl: spunky, sassy, smart - and with an eye for a cute guy. Reporting on the spectacular opening of a National Museum of Human Rights in New York, Abbie is wowed by Jack Paris, the museum's Media Liaison Officer, and embarks - with a view to bedding 'Mr Cupcake' - on research for a fictitious set of articles on the 'BGM' (Boring Gloomy Museum). But as our self-centred heroine's interest in Jack wanes, so her fascination with the museum exhibits grows and she is drawn unwittingly into a disturbing - and increasingly perilous - web of secrecy. Who is the 'Mystery Man' who seeks to befriend her? How does he know so much about her? And what gruesome secrets lie behind the BGM's holographic Twin Towers facade? Political thriller? Tragi-comic sci-fi romance? Lip Service is a scathing critique of the hypocrisy of governments imaginatively packaged in a wrapper which will have you chuckling all the way to its electrifying climax.

Book Synopsis Some of My Best Friends by : Tajja Isen

Download or read book Some of My Best Friends written by Tajja Isen and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fearless, “funny, poignant, and super-smart” (Ms. magazine) essay collection about race, justice, and the limits of good intentions. In this “inspiring, determined work of personal narrative and cultural criticism” (Saeed Jones, author of How We Fight for Our Lives), essayist and award-winning voice actor Tajja Isen explores the absurdity of living in a world that has grown fluent in the language of social justice but doesn’t always follow through. These nine daring essays explore the sometimes troubling and often awkward nature of that discord. Some of My Best Friends takes on subjects including the cartoon industry’s pivot away from colorblind casting, the pursuit of diverse representation in the literary world, the law’s refusal to see inequality, and the cozy fictions of nationalism. Throughout, Isen “shows a bracing willingness to tackle sensitive issues that others often sweep under a rug” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In the spirit of Zadie Smith, Cathy Park Hong, and Jia Tolentino, Isen interlaces cultural criticism with her lived experience to explore the gaps between what we say and what we do, what we do and what we value, what we value and what we demand.

Book Synopsis Lip Service by : Bruce Andrews

Download or read book Lip Service written by Bruce Andrews and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Bruce Andrews is a performance artist and poet whose texts are some of the most radical of the Language school...Small linguistic units, idioms, phrases and single words, taken from different, sometimes mutually exclusive registers, especially discourses which are socially sensitive and resonant to contemporary ears, enable the poetry to 'suggest a social undecidability.' LIP SERVICE, the long-awaited long poem sequel to SHUT UP, reminds us to 'accept no discourse except love's'" - Oxford Companion to Twentieth Century Literature in English. Among the titles by Bruce Andrews still available from SPD are I DON'T HAVE ANY PAPER SO SHUT Up and PARADISE AND METHOD.
