The Trusted Way Forward

This book aims to provide clarity, encouragement, and motivation for those who may feel stuck in their faith journey that there is grace to get moving again following specific steps. Those suggested steps include:¿ Turning to the Word as the trustworthy path forward,¿ Embracing Love as the unfailing way to walk in,¿ Avoiding the distractions of pain, fame, wealth, and¿ Discovering the secret to gaining traction in the faith journey.The writer also provided helpful information to clarify the 'back to sender' issue as not necessary nor rooted in sound biblical teaching. If there is anything Christians must send back and keep sending, it is the Word of God that does not return void - the Love of God that seeks to find and save what is lost - the healing power of God that is available if we ask for it.

When our children turn 18, we hope to happily launch them into the world to become the adults we’ve been preparing them to be. Their pathway seems clear: most will go to college, find a vocation and then a true love, and settle into a comfortable life while we parents keep in touch through occasional phone calls, family gatherings, and surprise trips home for Christmas. But now more than ever, these expectations fail to acknowledge the significant challenges faced by many young people, from a pandemic to racial unrest to a climate crisis that is setting the world on fire, figuratively and literally. While young people are consistently told they need to discern God’s calling, in Finding Our Way Forward, Melanie Springer Mock draws on her decades as a college professor and mom to four adult children to explore how finding our way means developing a more expansive understanding of calling for ourselves and for the young adults we love, one that moves beyond vocation and capitalistic enterprises to what God really calls us to: Seeking justice. Loving mercy. Walking with humility. Loving others. Loving God. As we do so, our relationships can be transformed as together we find our way forward.

As a salesperson, you’ve been taught to persuade, pitch products, read and mimic body language, and engage in a long list of other sales tactics to build business. But those tactics no longer work—especially if you’re working with intangible offerings like insurance and financial strategies. These old-fashioned sales techniques may temporarily move a client toward making a purchase, but they don’t promote long-lasting relationships. To do that, you must become a trusted advisor. Serial entrepreneur Andre Roos provides in-depth details on how to build meaningful, win-win interactions in this salesmanship guide. Learn how to: • follow a tested formula for attracting and keeping clients; • nurture clients and grow business; and • network with other professionals to provide added value. Roos also explains why using a scripted approach can create sales suicide—and what you need to do instead, where and when to leave your digital footprints (and when to cover them up or erase them completely), and how to get clients to respect you even when telling them what they don’t want to hear. Establish trust, become a valued consultant, and build long-lasting success with the priceless insights in The Death of the Salesman and the Rise of the Trusted Financial Advisor.

Improving government on a macro level is only possible with public managers who herald change on a micro level. While many studies of government reform focus on new policies and programs, these public managers—building relationships built on trust—are the real drivers behind many successful reforms. In this second edition, chapter authors once again draw on their real-world experience to demonstrate the importance of values-based leadership. With new research and lessons from the first two years of the Obama administration, chapters focus on the concrete ways in which leaders build effective relationships and trust, while also improving themselves, their organizations, and those they coach. Surveying agencies both horizontally and vertically, The Trusted Leader also addresses how public managers can collaborate with political appointees and the legislative branch, while still engaging with citizens to create quality customer experiences. Two brand-new chapters focus on: “Effective Conversations”—the importance of one-on-one conversations to building trust, with a model for having such conversations. “The Diversity Opportunity”—the need to effectively lead across a diverse workforce and a diverse society to build trust in both realms. With the addition of chapter headnotes, the editors provide necessary context, while the new “Resources for Further Learning” feature guides readers toward additional print and web resources.

A leadership fable, The Trusted Leader is the story of a new young leader, Carlos Lopez, who gets promoted to supervise his peers. He gets conflicting advice from his boss about how to take charge, and it backfires. Confused, Carlos seeks out the best leader he's ever known, Coach Jack Dempsey. The two agree to meet regularly talk about leadership at a local restaurant. The Coach teaches Carlos about how to lead, while Carlos and the Coach learn about each other's secret, sad, but ultimately formative pasts. Finally, the Coach teaches Carlos about the Trust Triangle—the critical key to leadership.
