"Eight Simple Truths"

"Tuesday Morning Coaching…Eight Simple Truths to Boost Your Career and Your Life" is a book about Ryan Harris, a successful manager who is burned out and tired of working hard, but going nowhere.

Ryan discovers that the simple truths of success can be found all around us, as he learns success strategies from a firefighter, teacher, receptionist, football coach, golf pro, cab driver and, of course, his mentor. He also finds that the solutions to his most challenging problems are often common sense principles such as:

• No Matter What…accept responsibility and move forward
• And Them Some….give more than is expected
• Consider it Done…do what you say you will do
• Above All Else…hold fast to your values
• Knowledge is Power…Read, Listen, Observe and Learn
• and many more

If you are interested, this might be a worthwhile book to read.
