Physicians are often asked to lead healthcare teams, departments, divisions, practices, and hospitals. Though many of them are experts in their fields, they are rarely prepared or educated in business management and leadership. Based on the authors’ interviews with many physician and non-physician executives and leaders, medical training contributes little to leadership skills. Many physicians leave medical training with a command-and-control leadership style that later has to be unlearned to succeed in a team-based healthcare environment. This book will help physician leaders to shed derailers and authoritarian leadership tendencies picked up in years of medical training. It is intended for (1) physicians who are transitioning to healthcare leadership roles, (2) senior-level physician and non-physician leaders as a coaching model to develop their physician leader direct reports, and (3) administrative leaders who are partnering with physician leaders. Both authors progressed from mid-level leadership roles to the C-suite, one as a physician leader and one as an administrative leader. As such, they have leveraged their operational excellence expertise to design the Iterative Leadership Model that includes the leader’s mindset, Leadership Strategies, and a coaching framework: GUIDES (Gather, Understand, Identify, Design, Execute, and Self-Reflect) that is based on the scientific method, PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act), A3 thinking, and the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Plan) note format. The authors masterfully integrate personal reflections, coaching examples, illustrative fictional vignettes, and GUIDES exercises to support leaders in the self-development and self-improvement of seven critical Leadership Attributes: strategic thinking, effective communication, coaching, team-building, change management, continuous learning, and problem-solving.

In the early years of the 20th century, inspired by a free-thinking teacher and determined not to get married and stay trapped in her North Carolina fishing village, teenage Eleanor sets out to seek her chosen path of living as an independent woman.

Mitä sielulle tapahtuu kun kuolemme? Tässä hämmästyttävän syvällisessä kirjassa Suomessakin vieraillut meedio ja selvänäkijä Lisa Williams kertoo, mitä sielulle tapahtuu kuolemassa ja sen jälkeen. Williams tarkastelee sielun matkaa tästä maailmasta tuonpuoleiseen meditaation, selvänäön ja henkilökohtaisten henkioppaidensa avulla sekä oman rajakokemuksensa valossa. Hän kuvailee erilaisten sielujen erilaisia reittejä kuolemanjälkeiseen maailmaan ja paljastaa, millaista elämä rajan toisella puolella on. Kuolema ei ole kaiken loppu vaan siirtymä toiseen maailmaan - paikkaan, jota meillä ei ole mitään syytä pelätä. Kirjan viimeisessä luvussa Lisa käsittelee sielun jälleensyntymää, eli paluuta maan päälle.

Lisa William''s poems are infused with what John Hollander calls "a guarded wonder." A poet of unique vision, she seems always to be "looking at," with special attention to the experience of the senses. Moreover, Williams is equally concerned with epistemology—the how of seeing. And it is perhaps this quality of attention that informs her interest in the formulations of poetry itself, in its constructed dimension. Her control of the line, of rhythmic possibilities, of structures both formal and free, is evident in every poem. Together, William''s original voice and her poetic finesse allow her to create those harmonies of wonder evoked by the very instrument, the hammered dulcimer, that gives her collection its name. Judge for the 1998 May Swenson Poetry Award was John Hollander, poet, critic, professor. Long a major figure in American letters, Hollander was a personal friend to May Swenson, and has influenced the work of many of our best emerging poetic voices.

This book is designed for those who wish to develop their natural gifts or to understand more about the afterlife and see the signs that their loved ones are around them. Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Lisa Williams, and I have been working as a psychic medium for over twenty years. I never planned to work as a medium. I mean, think about it: in the ''80s, having a career as a medium was never heard of. If I had gone to my teachers and said, "I want to speak to dead people for a career," I would have been carted off to the nearest mental institute. In fact, there were times that my mother would joke about the men in white coats coming to get me. I thought she was serious, and I grew up thinking that I was a little weird and hiding my ability. I was lucky to have a friend who thought my weirdness was cool. She was always asking questions about it, so I started to feel more comfortable; but as friends do, we drifted apart, and I had a new circle of friends, so I went back into the closet. I still had a growing intuition, but I curbed it and didn''t say anything. I just found that I "knew" things, and I couldn''t really explain it. I was actually quite shy growing up, and I found that I conformed with society about what I believed I should be like. It was easy. I fit the mold, and I didn''t say anything...many people would call that being a sheep and following the crowd. Does this sound familiar to your story? It probably does. Well let me tell you: you are normal. Just because you have this gift doesn''t mean that you have to hide it. For years I hid from it. I even hid it from my own parents for a while. For most of my life, my father has been a huge skeptic, and I remember the time when I had been working as a psychic medium for a while and he asked me when I was going to get a "proper job." He was an atheist and couldn''t wrap his head around the concept that our soul continues to live on when our body dies. When I finally decided to come out as a medium, it was accepted and most people had a fascination about it. It was "cool" to have this gift. I grew up in the United Kingdom and so we never showed emotions, never went to therapy, and we never said we loved each other. It was a very different world to what we live in now. Going to a psychic or a medium was better than going to a therapist in the United Kingdom. When you went to the therapist you were admitting that you had a problem, it was a sign of weakness. Now it''s considered a gift to be aware of your challenges, and it''s actually character building. I finally surrendered to my gift after my friend helped me see that I wasn''t crazy and that I actually could help others. The rest is history. What I would have benefited from, though, in those early years was some structure, discipline, and understanding. Even though my grandmother worked as a medium she died before I started, and so I didn''t have anyone really to talk too. The only thing that she said to me was: "Always trust your gut instincts. It will never let you down." That is something I live by, and I will suggest that you do, too. Through my work, I have been guided by Spirit, which has shown me the way forward to work with my gift. I have built my gift on discipline and respect, which is something that I will enforce within you. I have developed the skill of delivering a message, as well as enhancing and fine-tuning my gift. These are things that I will help you with. Throughout this book you will come to understand the history of Mediumship, how to develop your gift, and how to see signs from your loved ones. You will be given daily exercises to enhance your gift and to help you connect to your own loved ones and those of other people.

Selah is a slavegirl, small and dusty, who fetches water from a well. She gazes at the distant mountains that hold things she has never seen--like trees, stars, lakes, and snow. Her Master Regan and The Craft have kept nature from the valleys, damning rivers and turning all to desert. They weave their material spells upon the slaves, and nothing ever changes. Then, one day, Regan summons Selah to serve him at a banquet. Before she steps into the Hall, another slavegirl tells her, "You can be walking along the same dark hallway you have trod for years, and suddenly, around the corner comes unexpected help, and everything changes." As Selah serves the guests, a stranger in a hooded cloak speaks to her. That very night, Micah leads her from the Keep, across the valley, to meet a band of travelers. They journey through hills, moors, and highlands to Mountain Gate. Selah finds beauty, music, and love in the Maker''s world and Micah. Regan follows, bent to take his slavegirl back. He captures Selah, imprisons her again, and she must face loneliness and The Craft.

One glance. A shipwreck. Can a love affair forged in peril sustain two independent spirits? Lavinia Onslow, who delights in the freedom of managing her father''s millinery shop in the heart of Savannah, Georgia, has decided she may defy convention and not marry after all. Yet, in the summer of 1838, on board the elegant steamship Pulaski, bound from Savannah to Baltimore, she exchanges glances with an intriguing young man. What can ensue from a mere glance? Quite a lot, as legend has it. That very night, the boiler of the Pulaski explodes and the ship sinks, drowning most of its wealthy passengers. As Lavinia struggles in the water in her heavy dress, calling out for her father and thinking she will surely perish, someone dives in to rescue her, pulling her up next to him on a makeshift raft made of two deck settees. When she composes herself, she recognizes the intriguing man. There they float, alone but together, surrounded by ocean, thirty miles off the coast of North Carolina, desperate for a life-saving miracle. Is the bond she feels for this stranger more than an instinct for survival? Inspired by a legend --that may or not be true-- and set in the rich historic milieus of Savannah, New Orleans, and the coast of North Carolina, Between the Sky and the Sea explores how Lavinia Onslow''s desire to live as an independent woman transforms after surviving the wreck of the Pulaski.

A collection of essays, sometimes humorous, about life, family, motherhood, interfaith marriage, and love.

Poetry. "Lisa Williams''s new collection, GAZELLE IN THE HOUSE, is truly a book of stanzas: poetic rooms in which to dwell. Some of these dwellings have the uncanny familiarity of ordinary domestic space and others are as mysterious and disorienting as the depths of the sea. Painting with colors at times opaque, at times transparent, moving between shallows, tide-pools, and the abysses of dreams, Williams''s voice is solitary, meditative, intimate—and in the end a means of revelation."—Susan Stewart

"Soudain, j''ai vu ma grand-mère décédée assise au pied de mon lit, aussi vraie que nature. J''ai paniqué... J''avais vu l''esprit de gens décédés auparavant, mais cette fois, la vision me semblait réelle... Elle m''a regardée et m''a souri. Elle me semblait toute jeune, et comme je l''avais connue il y a longtemps déjà : vibrante, joviale, heureuse. Pourtant, sa présence m''effrayait terriblement. C''est à ton tour, maintenant, me dit-elle tendrement". Dans cet ouvrage, Lisa Williams invite le lecteur à parcourir le récit de sa vie hors de l''ordinaire. Elle raconte son enfance à Birmingham, en Angleterre, où dès l''âge de 4 ans, elle voyait déjà des esprits venir la visiter ; sa relation avec sa grand-mère, elle aussi une médium réputée, qui l''encouragea à accepter et à développer son don ; son parcours difficile et les relations tumultueuses de sa jeunesse jusqu''à son ascension à Los Angeles et la consécration au titre de médium la plus populaire. Avec générosité et sincérité, elle dévoile ses premiers pas dans la médiumnité et plusieurs communications étonnantes avec le monde des esprits. Elle confie ce qu''est la vie entourée d''esprits décédés et toute la joie qu''elle ressent chaque fois qu''elle apporte réconfort et consolation à ceux qui traversent un deuil.

A feel good book that depicts my life growing up as a young lesbian. It will take you on a journey throughout my young years into my adult years as I came and grew into my own skin. The people that I met, the people that I loved, the hearts that I broke, the people that broke mine, my friends and my foes all helped shape and craft me into the proud lesbian that I am today. This journey will make you laugh, mad, and may even make you cry. This story is filled with a roller coaster ride of emotions that I had to deal with, as I was faced with many life challenges alone about why and who I was. This book of my life''s experiences and hurdles as I grew will hopefully inspire anyone that is going through coming out alone to become a stronger person and realize that they are not alone. It is my hopes that my story will also let anyone who is reading this that is going through any negativity about who you are, realize your strengths that you already possess, and redirect that negativity to make it work for you in a positive way. As parents who may read my story what I hope that you will gain is the knowledge to know that your voice and support is required during this difficult point in any young person''s life who is going through the realization that they are gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender. What you say and how you act towards a certain group of people can affect your child in ways that you could never imagine. Remember, you may be talking about you child and not even know it. Being gay may not be understood to many but the truth is, it exist and for many as myself it is not by choice. We choose to be ignorant, that is something that we can change. Please gain the knowledge and understand before you stand in judgement of what may be deemed different in the eyes of society. Society may not accept us or our lifestyles but at least take time to understand it before you pass judgement and pass hate.
