| ann bogardus phr sphr study guide: Sacred Masculine James Galluzzo, 2014-01-22 In this second book of The New Eden Series, artist, author and spiritual guide James Galluzzo explores the Sacred Masculine and a return to the spiritual dimensions of being male. The Sacred Masculine has become lost in patriarchy and hierarchy, in old established roles and patterns. Expectations of culture, status, power, money and religion have conditioned men away from their authentic selves. But men are beginning to feel the call to embrace the sacredness in their lives, to reclaim their humanity, respect their true selves and live with integrity. By addressing the old messages of what it means to be male, by facing old hurts and healing that pain, men can begin to call the sacredness into themselves and see the sacredness in others, and in all of creation. Through art, prayer and poetry, the Sacred Masculine offers men a different way of being masculine, a path to become more fully human and a way to rediscover the deeply sacred in their masculinity. Rediscovering the sacred will allow the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine to merge and create a connection to wholeness in which all people can live and work in peace, bring about justice and respect for all living creatures, the earth, the universe, the cosmos and recognize the sacred within and among us. This is the path to creating a New Eden. |

| ann bogardus phr sphr study guide: The HR Value Proposition David Ulrich, Wayne Brockbank, 2005-05-11 The international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over 29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees.

| ann bogardus phr sphr study guide: Management of Organizations Patrick M. Wright, Raymond A. Noe, 1996 This text takes a contemporary and comprehensive approach to managing organizations - it covers the major issues while paying particular attention to the people side of management. The book addresses the environment, strategy, structure, change, diversity, technology and operations, while paying particular attention to their effects on people and their organizations. It provides coverage of both theories of group dynamics and exploration of how teams are being implemented in modern organizations. Using real companies, cases illustrate modern management practice. Also included are examples of individual managers and organizations that have distinguished themselves either positively or negatively. |
| ann bogardus phr sphr study guide: Nonzero Robert Wright, 2001-04-20 In his bestselling The Moral Animal, Robert Wright applied the principles of evolutionary biology to the study of the human mind. Now Wright attempts something even more ambitious: explaining the direction of evolution and human history–and discerning where history will lead us next. In Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, Wright asserts that, ever since the primordial ooze, life has followed a basic pattern. Organisms and human societies alike have grown more complex by mastering the challenges of internal cooperation. Wright's narrative ranges from fossilized bacteria to vampire bats, from stone-age villages to the World Trade Organization, uncovering such surprises as the benefits of barbarian hordes and the useful stability of feudalism. Here is history endowed with moral significance–a way of looking at our biological and cultural evolution that suggests, refreshingly, that human morality has improved over time, and that our instinct to discover meaning may itself serve a higher purpose. Insightful, witty, profound, Nonzero offers breathtaking implications for what we believe and how we adapt to technology's ongoing transformation of the world. |

| ann bogardus phr sphr study guide: Egonomics Dave Marcum, Steven Smith, 2008-09-04 Backed by five years of research, David Marcum and Steven Smith's egonomicsinforms readers that the key to great leadership is understanding exactly what ego is - and what it should not be. With the aid of real-life examples and persuasive writing, egonomics argues that while most people believe ego is negative, it is actually a healthy, necessary element to management effectiveness and business leadership. Marcum and Smith illustrate that the distinction between a good and a great leader is how humility affects their ambition, and egonomics is full of ideas that help both upper and middle management keep their egos in balance. With a compelling combination of business and psychology expertise, these two specialists explain how (a) being too competitive can make you less competitive, (b) seeking respect and recognition dilutes effectiveness and (c) humility, curiosity and veracity are the essential components to outstanding leadership. Full of the best advice from the experts in the field, egonomics is poised to be the blockbuster business bestseller of the season. |

| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: Sacred Masculine James Galluzzo, 2014-01-22 In this second book of The New Eden Series, artist, author and spiritual guide James Galluzzo explores the Sacred Masculine and a return to the spiritual dimensions of being male. The Sacred Masculine has become lost in patriarchy and hierarchy, in old established roles and patterns. Expectations of culture, status, power, money and religion have conditioned men away from their authentic selves. But men are beginning to feel the call to embrace the sacredness in their lives, to reclaim their humanity, respect their true selves and live with integrity. By addressing the old messages of what it means to be male, by facing old hurts and healing that pain, men can begin to call the sacredness into themselves and see the sacredness in others, and in all of creation. Through art, prayer and poetry, the Sacred Masculine offers men a different way of being masculine, a path to become more fully human and a way to rediscover the deeply sacred in their masculinity. Rediscovering the sacred will allow the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine to merge and create a connection to wholeness in which all people can live and work in peace, bring about justice and respect for all living creatures, the earth, the universe, the cosmos and recognize the sacred within and among us. This is the path to creating a New Eden. |

Based on two decades of work with hundreds of dads and daughters, BETWEEN FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS summarizes cutting-edge research in clear language and offers compelling stories about real people--including well-known celebrities. With candor and humor, BETWEEN FATHERS AND DAUGHTERS exposes the half-truths, downright lies, and family dynamics that prevent so many dads and daughters from having a more relaxed, more meaningful, more communicative relationship, regardless of age. Explaining why most daughter-dad relationships haven't reached their full potential or have unraveled, Nielsen provides hope as she shows fathers and daughters how to make changes now! |

The research is brought to life with compelling personal stories from fathers and daughters, including well-known celebrities and politicians. Boxed quizzes and questionnaires show students how the research can be applied to their own lives while others highlight the relationships between real-life fathers and daughters. Nielsen discusses the father-daughter relationship within a diverse range of family structures, including divorced and separated parents, gay parents, adopted children and children of sperm donors. Covering a wide range of topics, including the father’s impact on his daughter’s cognitive, academic, social and physical wellbeing, ethnic minorities, and incarcerated or abusive fathers, Father-Daughter Relationships: Contemporary Research and Issues gives panoramic view of the most recent research and statistics. This book is essential reading for upper level undergraduate and for graduate students, as well as for practitioners working with families, such as social workers, mental health professionals and family counsellors. It is especially relevant for courses in psychology, sociology, women’s studies, and counselling. Linda Nielsen is a Professor of Adolescent and Educational Psychology at Wake Forest University. A member of the faculty for 35 years, she is a nationally recognized expert on father-daughter relationships. |

| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: White Over Black Winthrop D. Jordan, 2013-02-06 In 1968, Winthrop D. Jordan set out in encyclopedic detail the evolution of white Englishmen's and Anglo-Americans' perceptions of blacks, perceptions of difference used to justify race-based slavery, and liberty and justice for whites only. This second edition, with new forewords by historians Christopher Leslie Brown and Peter H. Wood, reminds us that Jordan's text is still the definitive work on the history of race in America in the colonial era. Every book published to this day on slavery and racism builds upon his work; all are judged in comparison to it; none has surpassed it. |
| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: The HR Value Proposition David Ulrich, Wayne Brockbank, 2005-05-11 The international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over 29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees. Written by the field's premier trailblazers, this book charts the path HR professionals must take to help lead their organizations into the future. Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Business and the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles on the subject of human resources. Brockbank is a clinical professor of business at the University of Michigan School of Business, the author of award-winning papers on HR strategy, and an adviser to top global organizations. |

| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: Nonzero Robert Wright, 2001-04-20 In his bestselling The Moral Animal, Robert Wright applied the principles of evolutionary biology to the study of the human mind. Now Wright attempts something even more ambitious: explaining the direction of evolution and human history–and discerning where history will lead us next. In Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny, Wright asserts that, ever since the primordial ooze, life has followed a basic pattern. Organisms and human societies alike have grown more complex by mastering the challenges of internal cooperation. Wright's narrative ranges from fossilized bacteria to vampire bats, from stone-age villages to the World Trade Organization, uncovering such surprises as the benefits of barbarian hordes and the useful stability of feudalism. Here is history endowed with moral significance–a way of looking at our biological and cultural evolution that suggests, refreshingly, that human morality has improved over time, and that our instinct to discover meaning may itself serve a higher purpose. Insightful, witty, profound, Nonzero offers breathtaking implications for what we believe and how we adapt to technology's ongoing transformation of the world. |

| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: Egonomics Dave Marcum, Steven Smith, 2008-09-04 Backed by five years of research, David Marcum and Steven Smith's egonomicsinforms readers that the key to great leadership is understanding exactly what ego is - and what it should not be. With the aid of real-life examples and persuasive writing, egonomics argues that while most people believe ego is negative, it is actually a healthy, necessary element to management effectiveness and business leadership. Marcum and Smith illustrate that the distinction between a good and a great leader is how humility affects their ambition, and egonomics is full of ideas that help both upper and middle management keep their egos in balance. With a compelling combination of business and psychology expertise, these two specialists explain how (a) being too competitive can make you less competitive, (b) seeking respect and recognition dilutes effectiveness and (c) humility, curiosity and veracity are the essential components to outstanding leadership. Full of the best advice from the experts in the field, egonomics is poised to be the blockbuster business bestseller of the season. |

| ann bogardus phr/sphr study guide: The Merge: A Reemerging of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine James Galluzzo, 2014-06-26 The Merge: A Reemergence of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine is the culmination of ten years of research and sketches by author, spiritual guide and artist James Galluzzo. This project explores what the merger of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine would look like. He began the sketches for the paintings for this third book first, then realized books and paintings for the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Feminine were necessary to set the stage for the merger of the two and to provide a prologue for the final book. As in The Sacred Feminine and The Sacred Masculine, The Merge: A Reemergence of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine displays Jim's original art and explanations of each painting, supplemented with prayer and poetry, to show the Sacred Feminine and the Sacred Masculine joined together, honoring our humanity at its fullest, individually and collectively. The art invites a new way of thinking, a new way of living and a new way of loving in the union, actually reunion, of these two images. These books make up The New Eden Series, Galluzzo's efforts to illustrate to readers what a New Eden could look like through the words, poems and paintings, and to help readers embrace their wholeness, the cosmic union, the at one with of the Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine. It is about the sacred humanness of all people within each person and the binder of love and loving all that was, all that is and all that will be. This book and the New Eden series strive to present the possibility of oneness with ourselves, others, the world and the universe. It is about wholeness, non-dualism, a reminder that we are all connected. May this series show the way for each person to embrace his or her full humanity and live life without settling for anything less than Everything. |
