A Donovan birtokon felnőni nem éppen leányálom. Habár Jade minden pillanatát élvezi a kétkezi munkának a koránkelésen kívül, dédelgetett álma mégis, hogy színésznő lesz belőle… Ezért alig válik nagykorúvá, amikor egy éjjelen elszökik a birtokról, és vissza sem néz tíz viszontagságos éven keresztül. Túl nagy árat fizet ezért a tettéért… A szívét hátrahagyva végül odamegy, ahol az egész elkezdődött: haza… De a múlt árnyai nem engedik ilyen könnyen, ezúttal nem… Vajon hol találja meg a boldogságot? A birtokon vagy a színpadon? Megtalálja-e egyáltalán?

Today, with climate change unchecked, we sit at the precipice of destruction, teetering on the edge, digging our hands into the dirt, scrabbling for purchase, for salvation.Will we topple over the edge or, at the last minute, save ourselves? My stories assume we will continue to ignore the danger and that will lead to the end of humanity.Global warming, too long ignored, comes for us at last in two of the stories presented here. Both stretch the boundaries of the short story definition, approaching novella length. Both are stories of their survival and the lonely life that followed the climate apocalypse.In the first, the sweltering heat of a warming planet, coupled with rapidly rising waters and terrible storms, do us in. In the second, the melting permafrost of the frozen north releases an ancient, deadly virus to finish us off. Frighteningly, both scenarios are far too possible. The possibilities I based the stories on are remote and almost certainly will never happen. Still, the idea of very rapid global warming or an unknown virus emerging from a frozen sleep as the permafrost thaws were just too good to pass up.The final story is a bit different. It offers one answer to the age-old question, ""What happens to us after we die?"" In this version, quantum physics Many Worlds Theory offers an answer.

"Nem lehet megoldani problémákat ugyanazzal a gondolkodásmóddal, amivel csináltuk őket."Albert Einstein Életünkben csak akkor tudunk gyökeres, pozitív változást előidézni, ha tisztában vagyunk azzal, mit és hol rontottunk el – legyen szó akár magánéletről, akár karrierről -, hogy aztán a későbbiekben ne kövessük el ugyanazokat a hibákat, amelyek idáig juttattak bennünket. Ehhez azonban kíméletlen önkritikát kell gyakorolnunk. Ha már sokadszor lépünk bele ugyanabba a feneketlen pocsolyába, újra és újra pofán ver minket az élet egy méretes péklapáttal.Ilyenkor csupán két lehetőségünk marad: vagy feltesszük a szemellenzőt és az esélytelenek nyugalmával ismét belevetjük magunkat ugyanabba a trágyakupacba, vagy veszünk egy hidegzuhanyt, és helyi érzéstelenítés nélkül szembenézünk a saját hibáinkkal.Könyvünkben mi a második lehetőséget választottuk. Természetesen miután annak rendje és módja szerint számtalanszor végigpróbáltuk az első verziót. Kíméletlen öniróniával és szarkazmussal készült ez a mű, ami nem csoda, hiszen az ember a legtöbbször nagyon is tisztában van vele, hogy problémáink okozói saját magunk vagyunk. Éppen ezért, a megoldás is csak az lehet, hogy magunkon változtatunk.Nem könnyű. Sőt! Piszkosul nehéz. Legyen ez a könyv egy mankó ehhez a folyamathoz.Döntsük el, hogy főszereplői leszünk az életünknek, vagy végigstatisztáljuk az egészet. Tessék választani!

“Shall We Dance?”“It takes two to tango” in an expression suggesting that certain activities cannot be performed alone; they need two people who are willing to participate in order for something to happen. The New Normal might offer several challenges when it comes to handling uncertainty and change within an organization. Many people are working from home, meetings are held online, managers have to lead their subordinates from a distance through the change and try to help them find ways to create work-life balance, among other things. This is when coaching can be a useful tool to build resilience, encourage employees to learn new skills, improve communication, but most importantly build a strong and healthy organizational culture. Are you a business owner, a manager, someone working with human capital, or are you a student, or maybe just have a general interest in leadership, organizational behavior, or coaching? In that case, this book is definitely for you. The book will offer you a framework regarding change, organizational culture, and coaching. The book will also give you some important insight related to diversity, for example situations when the analogy of an orchestra playing a tango together might come in handy, as well as aspects of sustainability. Each part of the book ends with questions for the reader to reflect on. The purpose is to enhance your own learning and personal growth. My goal is for you to find your own way to lead your colleagues and subordinates. I want to provide methods to make it easier for you to contribute and navigate a coaching culture in these trying times we call “The New Normal”. A way of making the stakeholders of your organization feel you have rolled out the red carpet just for them. When you take the lead, the stakeholders will be asking you -"Shall we dance?"
