The Seismic Shift In Leadership

This book is unlike anything you've encountered before. It presents an adjusted reality made of engaging elements shaping a unique and immersive adventure, boldly venturing to places where society hesitates. In its pages, you'll reach breathtaking heights that ignite your potential, supercharging your optimal living and longevity.

In an era where health solutions often come in pill bottles and quick fixes, Adjusted Reality presents a revolutionary perspective on personal transformation and whole-being health. Drawing from over twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Sherry McAllister challenges the status quo of fragmented healthcare and inherited thinking patterns with a profound question: “How can we open ourselves up to do better?"

This groundbreaking work transcends traditional self-help approaches by addressing the root forces that shape our lives and health decisions. Dr. McAllister introduces a comprehensive navigational concept that integrates mind, body, and spirit, elevating readers from mere well-being to the term “whole-being"—a supercharged state of authentic health and purposeful living.

Through the metaphor of climbing (and descending) life’s mountains and valleys, readers explore the ascent toward personal growth and the equally crucial challenge of maintaining progress beyond the peak. The book provides innovative frameworks for:

• Breaking free from groupthink and conventional healthcare paradigms
• Developing a sustainable approach to quality of life and longevity
• Understanding the interconnectedness of physical health, emotional responses, and life choices
• Building resilient communities through shared moral compasses and collective vitality

Adjusted Reality isn't just about personal transformation—it's about evolving our entire approach to health and healing. Dr. McAllister's vibrant enthusiasm and quarter-century of practical experience illuminate a path from fragmented care to comprehensive vitality, from last hope to first choice.

Perfect for readers seeking authentic change in their health journey and those ready to embrace a more comprehensive approach to personal transformation, this book offers more than solutions—it provides a new lens through which to view your entire relationship with health and whole-being.

Two years ago, Dr. Ella F. Washington, organizational psychologist, Founder and CEO of DEI strategy consulting firm Ellavate Solutions, and Professor of Practice at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, shared her vision for a fairer, healthier, more productive “workplace utopia” with business leaders looking to make positive change in The Necessary Journey: Making Real Progress on Equity and Inclusion. The book was a hit with the C-Suite, but left workers asking, What about me? How do I make sense of and navigate my workplace? How do I show up authentically when I’m the only person who looks like me? Do I even belong here? Now, Dr. Washington is back with Unspoken: A Guide to Cracking the Hidden Corporate Code, a practical guide for workers across the spectrum who want to succeed in the business world without sacrificing their authenticity. Unspoken is the book for every professional who’s asked these questions, battled imposter syndrome, or wondered how to expand their power and influence (and struggled with whether it’s okay to do so). In the book, Dr. Washington explains the unspoken rules that determine success in corporate settings, coaching readers in the tactics that will equip them to shape a successful career anchored in meaningful experiences. She shares practical strategies readers can use to own their story and their strengths, leverage their skills, and identify opportunities to excel and advance, along with stories from fellow professionals who have faced similar challenges and successfully navigated these spaces. Packed with fascinating research, helpful exercises, and real, practical advice, this book will help readers build their capacity to move forward more confidently, empowering them and equipping them with the tools and tactics they need to thrive at every level of their organization and build the careers and lives they want.

Over a decade ago, Tim Houlne wrote The New World of Work, suggesting that many businesses would shift from the cube to the cloud. Work wouldn’t just be conducted in the office, and employees could work remotely. While this declaration was met with much resistance, two years of the COVID-19 pandemic changed everything, and many more companies embraced the concept of remote work.

Today, Houlne believes we’re at another pivotal moment in history where work is about to change again. As Houlne shares in The Intelligent Workforce, we live in a world where everything is digital, and the lines between humans and machines continue to blur at an unfathomable rate. The new world of work has fundamentally shifted how businesses operate—providing employees with a real-time, constant stream of emails, messages, and digital communications.

Unfortunately, many executives are far behind the times. They think owning a smartphone or moving away from physical files to digital means they are current with technological trends. But entrepreneurs who plan to be in business for the long term must understand that the level of human and artificial intelligence interactions will increase at an even more rapid rate than digital transitions of the past. For managers, it is critical they adapt to this digital transformation and jobs reset. Work is changing, careers are shifting, and those long sought-after titles and levels of seniority once thought invaluable seemingly devalue by the day.

While many fear the future and see machines as a replacement for humanity, Houlne is more optimistic and sees an opportunity for humans and machines to co-create the future. As he details in The Intelligent Workforce, machines are precise while humans have intuition. Combined, these make a powerful combination. There will always be jobs that humans do better than machines and jobs that machines do better than humans.

Houlne believes that businesses that continue to invest in AI will accelerate and widen the gap between those that do not. He argues that for most organizations to survive in the coming decade, they must recognize the emerging patterns of the digital workforce, understand the impact these changes will have on their teams and customers, and then take proactive steps to work with rather than against these changes.

Crisis is inevitable. Chaos is not.

Every organization will face a crisis—whether it’s an executive scandal, a cybersecurity breach, workplace violence, or a PR disaster. The difference between brands that survive and those that collapse is simple: The ones that prepare, win.

In Crisis Compass, crisis communications expert Michele Ehrhart pulls back the curtain on what truly separates effective leaders from those who crack under pressure. Drawing on decades of high-stakes experience—including managing crises for one of the world’s largest global corporations—Ehrhart delivers a practical, no-nonsense road map for leaders, PR professionals, and executives who want to stay ahead of the storm.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• the fatal flaws in crisis plans—why most organizations fail when it matters most;
• crisis drills and rehearsals—the real reason your team thinks it’s ready (but isn’t);
• the 24-hour rule—how to control the narrative before the crisis controls you;
• silence vs. speed—why sometimes, saying nothing is the smartest move;
• social media strategy—how to handle misinformation, leaks, and public panic; and
• what comes after the fire—post-crisis strategies to rebuild trust and reputation.

Using compelling, real-world case studies—including firsthand experience from corporate crises that made global headlines—Ehrhart gives leaders the exact strategies they need to think, respond, and lead under pressure. Whether you’re a business executive, PR strategist, or crisis communicator, Crisis Compass will transform the way you approach high-stakes moments.
