Interspersed within his shared personal experiences that illuminated his own vision and daily life before and during the global pandemic, Dr. Graham offers introspective questions and wisdom that lead those who feels trapped behind their desks to shun fears and negativity, and dance down a path forward to realize their true potential and best selves. Reclaim Your Career and Life offers guidance from a seasoned educator and career coach to help the desk-bound dance their way from the mundane to find joy, fulfillment, and purpose.

YOU ARE ENOUGH! chronicles Charlene Wheeless's fearless quest to be the best possible version of herself in every aspect of her life--at work and at home. For Charlene, this means busting up stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and flat-out refusing to be ignored, pigeonholed, or forgotten. Using blog posts from her courageous battle with breast cancer, lectures from her popular "Lessons from Being Invisible" speaking series, and personal accounts of her climb to being one of the first Black female executives in traditionally White and male-dominated industries, Charlene's voice is one that resonates across every spectrum--a voice that demands being heard. Charlene's experiences serve as a compass for individuals and corporations looking to change their course, alter their patterns, and expand their ways of thinking and being. With raw honesty, blazing courage, and solution-driven sensibility, Charlene reminds us that despite the setbacks, struggles, and obstacles life throws our way, we can be seen.

There's an 80 percent chance you're poor. Time poor, that is. Four out of five adults report feeling that they have too much to do and not enough time to do it. These time-poor people experience less joy each day. They laugh less. They are less healthy, less productive, and more likely to divorce. In one study, time stress produced a stronger negative effect on happiness than unemployment. How can we escape the time traps that make us feel this way and keep us from living our best lives? Time Smart is your playbook for taking back the time you lose to mindless tasks and unfulfilling chores. Author and Harvard Business School professor Ashley Whillans will give you proven strategies for improving your "time affluence." The techniques Whillans provides will free up seconds, minutes, and hours that, over the long term, become weeks and months that you can reinvest in positive, healthy activities. Time Smart doesn't stop at telling you what to do. It also shows you how to do it, helping you achieve the mindset shift that will make these activities part of your everyday regimen through assessments, checklists, and activities you can use right away. The strategies Whillans presents will help you make the shift to time-smart living and, in the process, build a happier, more fulfilling life.
