Recent release “Real Work from Home Jobs and Business Opportunities” from Page Publishing author Kay Doliver offers valuable information for readers seeking to learn more about how to pursue work-from-home opportunities.

Kay Doliver has completed her new book “Real Work from Home Jobs and Business Opportunities”: a helpful resource for readers, whether professionals with years of experience or recent high school graduates with no experience at all, that provides information about work-from-home opportunities.

Author Kay Doliver is an Alpha Gamma Sigma member and has an AA in Business Administration from Golden West University in Huntington Beach, California, which is where she also first discovered her love of writing. She also has a BA in Human Resource Management from Bellevue University. She has over fifteen years of experience working in office administration and management and assisting executives in a variety of industries. She has also been an entrepreneur. After owning a large service business for several years, she started a work-from-home business, which she has run successfully for over ten years. Since 2010, when Kay started her small home-based business, she has continued to grow her business and add services with the information she had compiled about work-at-home opportunities.

In 2012, Kay and her twin sister published a book titled “Real Work at Home Opportunities” with the information they had compiled. She has continued to grow her company while also continuing her research on the subject since that time and now hopes to inspire readers with a wealth of new information on working from home. Kay has a powerful and creative business mind and uses her positivity and tireless energy to encourage others to work hard and reach for their dreams. In her free time, she likes to write, explore, cook, travel, and spend time with her family, which includes six children. Kay plans to continue writing other books in the future, which may include more work-at-home opportunities and maybe some other nonfiction, romance novels, and/or children’s books. She hopes and prays that her work inspires a following through innovation and imagination.

Kay writes, “Today’s economy and the livelihood of millions of Americans are in jeopardy. Many are still stuck at home due to a pandemic that seems to have no end in sight, and we are being told by officials that things may never go back to the way they were. Do not give up, though! This can be the year that changes your life for the better.”

She continues, “While many are unemployed, others who are still working are unhappy in their positions and are joining a new movement called the ‘Great Resignation,’ which seems to be growing. Americans are rethinking how they pursue the American dream because of the pandemic, and they want more control over their careers. Many aspiring
entrepreneurs will realize their dream of being their own boss this year, and you can too!”

Published by Page Publishing, Kay Doliver’s informative work invites readers to discover 100 different work-from-home opportunities in a variety of industries and start pursuing a new work-from-home career.

Readers who wish to experience this educational work can purchase “Real Work from Home Jobs and Business Opportunities” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Best-selling author, celebrated executive coach, inspirational speaker, thought-provoking business leader, and successful serial entrepreneur Mark S. Lewis provides business owners and CEOs with an interview hiring tool and a 10-session course to learn how to become more successful leaders.

BATON ROUGE, LA. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 28, 2022

According to leadership coach and best-selling author Mark S. Lewis, business owners or CEOs must understand their job candidate’s motivations, values, and thinking processes before they can hire the right person to fit their company culture. In his latest book, “The Unthinkable Approach to Hiring,” Lewis provides a guide with interview prompts. This unique and successful method helps business owners and CEOs find an “A” player with the right attitude amongst their resumes.

Lewis’s “Unthinkable Approach to Hiring” interview tool includes 90+ prompts to help business owners and CEOs find the best candidates with the right skills for the job. The prompts are simple: the interviewer asks one to two words or phrases, revealing the job applicant’s thought process and tendencies. How each candidate responds will demonstrate how they think critically, solve problems, manage stress, and whether or not they will be a good cultural fit for the company. “This tool may help you successfully locate the star player with the MVP attitude that may have been lost in an enormous pile of applications,” Lewis says.
  
As a best-selling author, celebrated executive coach, inspirational speaker, thought-provoking business leader, and successful serial entrepreneur, Lewis maintains the same message of his first book, “Give a D*mm!: The Ticket to Cultural Change,” with his CEO Round Table Playbook. The playbook, designed to inspire and transform leaders teaches them essential skills in ten monthly sessions. “Participants will learn how to gain the upper hand in professional growth and benefit themselves and the organizations they represent. The course promotes collaboration between participants, which evolves into a valuable peer-to-peer exchange of different visions. I believe better ideas come to us when we focus our attention on people first,” Lewis said, “I teach business owners and CEOs new ways of thinking.”

Lewis built the CEO Round Table Leadership Course around the core values of education, empowerment, and empathy. Participants learn strategies in several areas, including building a plan for success and developing the best practices in sales, marketing, and human resources. The course also informs leaders how to inspire productivity through employee engagement or boost employee morale. Some of the “indispensable skills” leaders will learn to include better hiring approaches, reducing waste, increasing productivity, and setting goals aligned with core values. Throughout the ten round table discussions, leaders will also learn to:

• Craft a superior vision or mission statement,
• Set goals using the SMART method,
• Apply the best practices in human resources and human capital leadership,
• Develop best marketing and sales practices, understand financial statements,
• Discover new ways of thinking toward success, implement practices that improve employee morale, and
• Expand leadership through emotional intelligence and empathy.

The leadership course has developed a reputation for including something for every type of business owner. A sample agenda for the monthly round table includes networking for CEOs, ways for them to discuss their business goals, identify the challenges they want to address, and workshop their core values collectively.

Lewis recently explained the importance of his leadership course curriculum during an episode of the Beyond Confidence podcast with Divya Parekh. “The most important thing a business owner or CEO can do is to set business goals. You communicate these goals to the employees within your company, so they help you get towards meeting those goals,” he said, “Goals have to be specific, measurable, obtainable, realistic, and timely. Make sure you measure where you are relative to those goals and then pivot accordingly due to the economic environment and other factors.”

Recent release “Getting to the End” from Page Publishing author Michael Willis is a thought-provoking work of fiction introducing William J. McCallister, who is nearing retirement after a long and distinguished career in the human resources industry. The twists and turns of his work over the decades could little prepare him for the dramatic events of his final days at the office.

Michael Willis, a longtime Florida resident, avid outdoorsman, proud father and grandfather, and career human resources professional presently engaged as a senior vice president with a renowned consulting firm, has completed his new book “Getting to the End”: a riveting narrative drawn from his forty-year career serving corporations and individuals from all walks of life.

William J. McCallister has seen it all—or so he believes. As he nears the end of a career that has spanned many years, he is left with the one question that he finds himself seeking to answer. Will I make it to the end? Dealing with the complexities of an ever-increasing diverse workplace for most of his working life and resolving these employee issues for his employers, he looks forward to winding down a very rewarding but sometimes stressful career. Frequently when commiserating with colleagues on human interactions the common consensus is “You just can’t make this stuff up!” This regular guy who has spent his entire career serving others comes to realize that getting to the end of anything in life is just a matter of interpretation…and sometimes that interpretation is not just yours alone! Little does he suspect of what he is about to face before he can ride off into the sunset. This might just be the very thing that prevents him from ‘Getting to the End”.

Published by Page Publishing, Michael Willis’s engrossing book is an entertaining work of realistic fiction that keeps the pages turning until its dramatic conclusion.

Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase “Getting to the End” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Recent release “Reflections of a Businessman” from Page Publishing author Alan Slavich is an eye-opening analysis of managerial practices that are proven to encourage productivity and morale amongst employees, leading to high profits. Slavich’s wisdom and insight provide the vital tools necessary for supervisors in any industry to lead their workforce to be the most optimized.

Alan Slavich, who, upon graduating from the University of Washington in 1963 with a degree in ceramic engineering, began his career in the flat glass industry, has completed his new book “Reflections of a Businessman”: an exploration of best business practices that can help to elevate a company from the point of view of an employee.

“‘Reflections of a Businessman’ is a look at business effectiveness from an employee’s perspective versus the teachings in a traditional business school,” writes Slavich. “There are many successful businesses in the world today, and there are also many unsuccessful businesses in the world today. What are the things that separate the successful business from the unsuccessful business? Obviously there is more than one answer to that question, but employee participation and contribution can greatly affect the performance of the business.”

Slavich continues, “This book analyzes and views the effectiveness of management on the productivity of the workforce. Over fifty-five years in the business world provided the experience of a wide variety of supervisory styles within three different companies and provided insight into the effectiveness of the various management styles. This book is a look at the various management styles that one person observed after all those years in the business world and documents what was learned from each experience. This experience was then analyzed and was used to develop a profile of what constitutes a successful business model. The model was then used to create a high involvement organization with resultant world-class credentials.”

Published by Page Publishing, Alan Slavich’s thought-provoking discussion helps bring to light the various management styles that create the most productivity within a company’s workforce and how these styles can be used to better organize a business while growing profit margins.

Readers who wish to experience this compelling work can purchase “Reflections of a Businessman” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

FIT has leaders across industries in a frenzy about how this book will change the game. Many are concerned that their competitors are using it to increase agility and get ahead in the market. The concepts of FIT and Agile Strategy Execution are so intuitive that it seems too good to be true. The book is changing the paradigm on strategy execution, making it anybody’s race to win.

Amid mass layoffs at such revered companies as Amazon, Goldman Sachs, Facebook, and Ford, the monster of ineffective strategy execution rears its ugly head. FIT exposes this monster and explains how it destroyed companies like Toys “R” Us, NECCO, GM, Pan Am, Yahoo, and several others. The book also reveals an alternative approach that simplifies strategy execution down to a basic science. It applies the principles of Continuous Improvement and Agile Methodology to engage everyone in the company in improving something important everyday. The book applies a narrative of the 1960s moonshot initiated by President John F Kennedy to help explain how the iterative approach to improvement can be leveraged to help companies become fit to achieve what is currently impossible. Its said that during the moonshot mission, even the janitor at NASA clearly understood the mission and their unique role in helping to make it a success. FIT helps companies to systematically create this level of focus, agility, and employee engagement so that they too can achieve their most ambitious goals.

The book explains in detail how companies like Google, Tesla, Mars, Southwest Airlines, and Walmart have embedded this simple science into their DNA to become breakout disrupters, taking a commanding lead in the markets they serve. The book challenges the prevalent paradigm that Lean-ness is best and inspires us to develop Fit-ness instead. The book’s author, Calvin L Williams said “There is a trend in industry where companies are phasing out Lean programs and building Strategy Execution functions. Companies are realizing that becoming Lean, or better yet ‘FIT’, is a function of executing their own strategies, not Toyota’s.” Early beta readers such as Bob Emiliani, Katie Anderson, and several executive leaders are lavishing high praise on the book. For example, Katie Anderson, author of bestselling book, Learning to Lead, Leading to Learn said “In ‘FIT’, Calvin Williams gives leaders a framework to align their organization to achieve more — by setting a challenge and providing support to their people through coaching, iterating, and learning. Williams uses clear examples and engaging stories to illustrate each learning point. The book inspires the reader to dream bigger, learn faster, and achieve more.” The method described in the book is already transforming the way companies approach strategy execution, creating a stark contrast to waterfall-style approach used by companies conducting mass layoffs that dominate headlines today.
