About Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations That Matter 2nd Edition

What might happen if “small talk” was replaced with conversations that matter? In their Bestselling book, Will Wise and Chad Littlefield explain how the questions we traditionally ask are often meaningless when it comes to establishing a connection. Introducing a set of practice tools for understanding others by changing the way we ask questions, Will and Chad show how to transform “How are you?—I’m fine, thanks” into conversations that change not only how you lead but who you are as a person. Educators, business professionals, personal coaches, and anyone in a position of leadership will relate to the personal successes and failures Will shares. He unpacks the art of asking questions that lay the foundation for trust, psychological safety, productivity, and impact. Chad complements Will’s personal stories and examples with fascinating facts and nuances in neuroscience that are behind the art of asking. Together, the art of asking and the science behind it join to create a simple and powerful framework for leaders to build a culture of connection. In his book, Will and Chad break it down into six simple steps for all of us to be able to understand. The Asking Powerful Questions Pyramid shows you how to build:
Intention
Rapport
Openness
Listening
Empathy
Powerful questions can be used everywhere: from the board room to the city park, the dinner table to the grocery store. If you want to connect with employees at a team building retreat, hone your leadership skills as a new boss, improve the company culture where you work…this book is for you. If you want to navigate difficult conversations with your spouse or a friend, or practice presence-based listening with your kids…this book is for you. If you want to become a better educator and facilitate an ice breaker conversation with colleagues…this book is for you. Ask Powerful Questions invites the reader on a journey that explores: the clarity of intent, connecting through rapport, creating openness, reflective listening, and empathy. How can we explore the space between ourselves and others, and exchange meaningful perspectives? Just ask—powerfully.

About It’s A Trust Thing by Peggy Jaeger

Nell Newbery has trust issues. It’s hard to trust when you’re the daughter of a fallen financial scion who bilked people out of billions. Nell’s done everything in her power to keep away from men who see her as their ticket to fortune and fame. All she wants to do is run her ultra-successful business, HELPFUL HUNKS, in peace.

But it wouldn’t hurt to find a guy who doesn’t know a thing about her father’s felonious past; one she can give her heart to and trust it won’t come back to her battered, bruised, and broken.

Is Charlie Churchill that guy? On the surface he seems perfect, all polished manners and quiet mirth. Nell’s convinced he knows nothing about her, other than she likes superhero movies and views junk food as a food group.

Can she trust him to be what he appears to be? Or is he just pretending?

For Nell, trust is everything in life…and in love.

American Brush-Off by Max Willi Fischer

It’s 1942, and seventeen-year-old Lud Mueller is an All-American boy. He’s got it all—looks, athletic ability, popularity and the sweetest girl between Chicago and New York. Now, the only country he’s ever known has a plan to tear his life to pieces without giving him a fighting chance. The clouds of fear have gathered into the storms of bigotry throughout the United States. Innuendo has replaced due process.
Labeled a “dangerous enemy alien” in his hometown, Lud Mueller learns his deliverance depends upon his wit trumping his brawn. Interned in the Texas desert, he and his family become pawns in a secret World War II strategy. This isn’t what he expected for his senior year of high school.
While a few Nazi wannabes try to make life miserable for him and his family, Lud finds romance in the Texas heat only for it to be scorched by the government.
When the war ends, Lud has changed, but the government’s wishes for him have not.
American Brush-Off is based upon the internment of thousands of legal German aliens and German-Americans during World War II.

About Tales of Aegan (Revolt)

Over one thousand years ago there was a war that shook the earth’s core and nearly wiped all life of the face of the planet. Hundreds of years later a kingdom was built, one that would unify the broken and savage existence that remained of humanity. This kingdom was named Aegan. Many people migrated to Aegan as it was a symbol of hope and structure, but over the years with a corrupt queen named Christine, it became synonymous with death and chaos. Micah and Sonia are twins who live in the slums of Aegan as two high school students. One day Micah is taken by one of the most powerful and vicious members of Christine’s Royal Guard. In an attempt to find out what happened to her brother Sonia joins up with another member of Christine’s Royal Guard, and is slowly dragged into the web of secrets that surrounds Aegan. Micah on the other hand finds himself on the front line in Aegan’s army. With two separate paths ahead of them, how will the twins reunite with one another, and what will they do when they learn the forces that nearly wiped out all life are fighting to return?
