    Internationally Recognized Leadership Development Trainer Jodi Low Shares Expertise in New Book “From Me to U”

    Inspired by her own life journey and personal mission to help others, Author Jodi Low shares lessons on life, leadership and living your legacy.

    From becoming a single mother to her two daughters and rebranding her business in a weekend, Jodi Low has learned many lessons on her path to becoming the internationally recognized leadership development trainer and award-winning entrepreneur that she is today. And now, she adds the title of author to her repertoire, with the release of her first book, “From Me to U,” available now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Apple Books ($19.99 Paperback and $9.99 Kindle).

    With a title coined from her company’s name, U & Improved, Jodi brings her expertise on reframing life’s challenges as lessons through a collection of short personal stories that encourages readers to seek out the “gift” in the challenges.

    “Every day, I work with clientele ranging from entry level employees to Fortune 100 CEOs and I know that no matter our journey in life, we all have unique challenges that also present unique new pathways to forge ahead, and that’s what this book is all about,” said Author of “From Me to U” Jodi Low.

    Jodi will be signing her book for friends and fans during an open-to-the-public book signing at the Better Business Bureau of Arizona (located at 1010 E Missouri Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85014) on Wednesday, December 7, 2023 from 5 – 6:30 p.m.

    “From Me to U” shines a light on some of the most defining experiences Jodi has lived through and how they have influenced her business, her family, and her life. Without sugarcoating the embarrassment, the sweat and tears, and the complexities of relationships, Low argues—time and again—that it is through these challenging, painful, and beautiful moments-turned-lessons that we are able to shape our life’s purpose. With an empowering blend of laugh-out-loud humor and unwavering grace, Jodi shares practical tips for the reader on how to lean into the more challenging lessons life can throw one’s way.

    “The pages of From Me to U tell the story of perseverance, a deep heart to serve others, and how being additive to the world is just good business,” said Chief Development Officer of the Muscular Dystrophy Association Jeremy Kraut-Ordover. “Leaders from all industries could stand to lead more from the heart, and From Me to U gives the inspiration to start doing just that.”

    To purchase “From Me to U” by Jodi Low, in Kindle ($9.99) or Paperback ($19.99), visit Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Apple Books. To purchase a personally signed copy of the book by the author, attend the December 7th book signing (free and open to the public) at the Better Business Bureau of Arizona, located at 1010 E Missouri Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85014.

  • Greenlight Guru Appoints Dan Thompson as Chief Sales Officer and Jeff Perkins as Chief Marketing Officer

    Greenlight Guru Appoints Dan Thompson as Chief Sales Officer and Jeff Perkins as Chief Marketing Officer

    The company adds two experienced executives to help accelerate growth and global expansion.

    Greenlight Guru, the leading provider of cloud-based software solutions for MedTech companies, announced today the appointment of two new experienced leaders to join their executive team: Dan Thompson as Chief Sales Officer and Jeff Perkins as Chief Marketing Officer.

    “Dan and Jeff are joining Greenlight Guru as we enter a new chapter of expansion, innovation, and scale,” says David DeRam, CEO of Greenlight Guru. “We’ve had several years of consistent high growth and are in the midst of a rapid international expansion of our customer base and company footprint. We were looking for two exceptional leaders with the experience to help accelerate our continued growth, and that’s exactly what Dan and Jeff bring to the table.”

    These hires come at the end of a successful 2022 for Greenlight Guru that saw substantial growth while acquiring several companies, including Denmark-based SMART-TRIAL. In 2021, the company received a $120 million investment from JMI Equity.

    Dan Thompson, Greenlight Guru’s new CSO, is an experienced go-to-market executive with over 15 years of building and leading high-performing teams through periods of rapid growth. Dan comes to Greenlight Guru from Workday, which he joined through the acquisition of Peakon where he led commercial operations for the US, Canada, and Latin America. His people-first, process-oriented approach to strategy and execution has enabled him to drive consistent, sustainable results at both scale-ups and public companies, including Dialpad, Smarsh, and Symantec. Dan holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Winona State University and an Executive Leadership Certificate from Cornell University.

    “The more I learned about Greenlight Guru, the harder it was to say no,” says Thompson. “The opportunity we have here is incredible, and I’m excited to be partnering with Jeff and team to not only continue the tremendous growth this company has seen in recent years, but take it to the next level.”

    Jeff Perkins is an experienced executive who has held leadership roles at several high-growth technology companies, including ParkMobile, QASymphony (now Tricentis), PGi, and Autotrader US. In his most recent role at ParkMobile, he helped establish the company as the #1 parking app in the U.S., growing revenue by 233% over the past five years. Jeff started his career in the New York advertising industry working at Saatchi & Saatchi and Havas, and is the author of the book “How Not to Suck at Marketing.” He holds a BA from American University and an MBA from Emory University.

    “I am beyond excited to join Greenlight Guru at this time of hyper-growth,” says Perkins. “The company has established itself as a real leader in the MedTech industry and has huge potential. I look forward to collaborating with David, Dan, and the rest of the talented team to help scale the business for future success.”

    “I could not be happier to have Dan and Jeff joining our executive team at Greenlight Guru at this point in our journey,” says DeRam. “The wealth of knowledge and the depth of experience each brings is difficult to overstate. Having these key pieces in place as we enter the new year puts us in an excellent position to continue helping our customers improve the quality of life of the patients they serve.”

  • Ed Rapp and Anju Jain’s new book “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” is an inspiring compendium on balancing personal and professional goals amidst challenges in life

    Ed Rapp and Anju Jain’s new book “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” is an inspiring compendium on balancing personal and professional goals amidst challenges in life

    Recent release “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” from Page Publishing authors Ed Rapp and Anju Jain is an informative and comprehensive guide to finding balance as a leader, even in the face of unforeseen challenges. The book highlights key principles to deal with the hectic, interconnected, and demanding modern world.

    Ed Rapp, a former Caterpillar Inc. group president with broad business and global experience, has completed his new book “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership.” It offers a curious and potent directory to navigating the business world. Using the model of a flywheel, Rapp defines his intersectional approach to overcoming challenges and succeeding both personally and professionally.

    “Just as a flywheel transfers power from a motor to a machine,” writes author Ed Rapp, “we, as leaders, transfer power to other people through how we live and lead. The inherent principles need to move in sync to do our job as leaders.”

    Published by Page Publishing, Rapp’s instructive narrative outlines finding success even in the face of adversity. In 2015, Rapp made the difficult decision to step down from his executive position at Caterpillar Inc. following an ALS diagnosis when he was given 2 to 5 years to live. With his disciplined approach and levering the very model the book espouses, he continues to outlive this challenge.

    “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” also features the insightful perspective of co-author Anju Jain, a business leader and Chief Human Resources Officer at Fermilab. She has extensive experience in leadership and HR and has previously authored two books on leadership and burnout. Together the authors share examples on how the key principles of balance, relationships, a clear operating model and discipline, irrespective of the kind of work you do or the industries you work in, prepare you to live and lead and for the eventual curveballs of life.

    Readers who wish to experience this illuminating work can purchase “The Flywheel of Life and Leadership” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

    Author Maxwell O. Thompson-Eleogu’s new book “Africa—The Road to Afro-Modernity” is a thought-provoking product of a select and innovative think tank, NobleAfriq

    Maxwell O. Thompson-Eleogu, a native Nigerian who lives and is schooled in the United States of America, has completed his new book “Africa—The Road to Afro-Modernity”: a gripping work that describes the idea that failure of political leadership, lack of good governance, and stunted progress in Africa are not the main problems but symptoms of disintegrated individualism, which is a loss of sense of being.

    Author Maxwell O. Thompson-Eleogu discusses his work, writing, “For those seeking to understand the root of Africa’s malady and their inability to grow like the rest of other nations of the world, this book, The Road to Afro-Modernity, serves as an inspiration. Our method is eclectic explorative; this is the approach that seeks to borrow ideas from other cultures that seem suitable to correct the deficiencies that exist in African culture. The eclectic explorative does not mean that we are disruptive to our culture; rather, all cultures are borrowed. This book, The Road to Afro-Modernity, is a transition from our old ancestral communities to Afro-modernity. We can no longer search for our identity and national identity out of the old world of the past. Our old tribal world and the ancestral world are not lost but outgrown. As such, our identity, national identity, and the meaning of who we are cannot be found; rather, they are to be created and achieved.”

    Published by Page Publishing, Maxwell O. Thompson-Eleogu’s insightful work serves as a guide for those seeking the answers to the root of the malady of our time in Africa.

    Author Maxwell O. Thompson-Eleogu is a distinguished fellow and founder of NobleAfriq Institute, a select and innovative think tank, whose mission and trajectory are that People Matter(s)—remaking society through remaking the people. He was trained in the field of philosophy with special interests in African philosophy, African American philosophy, American pragmatism, continental philosophy, and African mysticism and spirituality. He has a website, http://www.nobbleafriqinstitute.com

    Readers who wish to experience this compelling work can purchase “Africa—The Road to Afro-Modernity” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
