523: Small Actions, Big Impact with Drs. Adaira Landry and Resa Lewiss

by

Today, I’m featuring one of the 9 books I’m most looking forward to in 2024.

This marks the fourth author (or authors, in this case) of the nine I’ve manage to showcase so far. Who knows, maybe I’ll eventually interview all nine!

Today’s guests are the coauthors of the book MicroSkills: Small Actions, Big Impact. I believe it to be the handbook that everyone who wants to be successful in their career needs to read.

The promise of this book is simple: if you buy this book on Friday, you will be better at your job by Monday.

MicroSkills is built on one core, easy-to-learn principle: every big goal, complicated task, healthy habit, and, yes, even what we think of as character traits, can be broken down into small, learnable, skills that can be practiced, and incorporated real-time. The doctors call these: MicroSkills.

440: A New Approach to Making Business Personal with Vincent Pugliese

by

Today’s guest first visited the show back in Episode #223. I also invited to speak at my online conference back in 2019 called the Boss-Free Virtual Summit.

His name is Vincent Pugliese and, over the years, he’s gone from professional sports photographer to staring his own business and, now, to sharing what he’s learned in the trenches with others.

Vincent’s new book is called The Wealth of Connection: A New Approach to Making Business Personal.

So if you feel like you did everything right—got the degree, the knowledge, experience, business plan, the optimized website. But then, why don’t more people want what you have to offer? Why don’t more people care about it?

In this refreshing look at business fundamentals, Vincent argues that before you set about gaining the knowledge and experience need to create something people want to buy, you must become the person that people want to know.

399: Applying Relationship Rules in Business for Ultimate Success

by

Since beginning the Read to Lead Podcast over eight years ago, I’ve had the chance to meet more than my fair share of people whose talents include helping others write and publish books (in addition to a few of their own).

One of those people is Karen Anderson, a strategic book advisor and coach, associate publisher at Morgan James Publishing, and co-author of the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller The Bezos Letters: 14 Principles to Grow Your Business Like Amazon featured right here on the podcast.

Karen recently formally introduced me to today’s guest, Honoree Corder, a name I’ve known for quite some time. I mean, when you’ve written over 50 books, it’s hard not to be on my radar.

One of those books – and the one getting our focus today – is Business Dating: Applying Relationship Rules in Business for Ultimate Success.

Honoree’s book is designed to show you exactly how the rules of personal dating apply to your professional relationships. When you take the time to foster balanced connections, Honoree says, you’ll build meaningful, long-lasting contacts that yield incredible gains. With the power of true networking on your side, you’ll attract better clients and relationships faster than you ever thought possible.

362: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You with Mark A. Herschberg

by

I don’t recall exactly how I got connected to today’s guest (a publicist, maybe), but not long after we’d secured an interview date, I received an email from a client with a desire to make an intro to…you guessed it: today’s guest.

mark a. herschberg

My client had just had Mark A. Herschberg on his own podcast and thought Mark would make a tremendous guest for my show as well. Little did my client know, Mark and I were already scheduled to talk. It is my pleasure to bring that conversation to you today.

Mark wrote a brand new book, released in January, called The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.

Networking, negotiating, communicting, leading, career planning – all skills critical to your career success, Mark says. But did anyone ever teach you these skills? If not, it’s okay. You’re in luck.

Mark’s book will help you master all of these things and more. You might say it’s a multivitamin for your career.
