Book Description

Change when, how, and where you work; know why and how anyone can have more flexibility; be inspired to live life the way you want to live it.

Because the old nine-to-five corporate culture will never return, you need to change the way you think about, approach, and interact with work. Cali Williams Yost, a dynamic and innovative work/life expert who has both coached individuals and consulted for Fortune 500 companies, believes that you can choose how work fits into your life instead of work choosing how much life is left over for you.

Work + Life presents a practical, step-by-step process that helps you to create, propose, negotiate, and successfully implement a flexible arrangement that meets not only your needs but also the needs of your employer. Filled with inspiring success stories, as well as thought-provoking exercises focused on finding answers to every individual's unique work/life dilemmas, this is the only book that can be used by anyone to achieve any kind of flexibility, in any industry, at any stage of their career.

The 3 Steps to Help You Fit Work Into Your Life

Step 1: Change Your Mind-set
Get rid of misconceptions about work flexibility; claim responsibility for your own work and life choices; and redefine what it means to be a loyal employee.

Step 2: Identify and Bypass the Roadblocks
Reevaluate your definitions of success; cope with your fears; overcome resistance from your manager, coworkers, or spouse; and learn to think outside the box.

Step 3: Figure Out What You Really Want and How You'll Get It
Analyze the specific demands of your job and your life to determine the adjustments you'll need to make; write a formal business proposal; negotiate it with your manager; and implement it.

Practical tool for balancing career and life.......2007-10-18

Are you struggling to balance work with your personal life? You are not alone. Most workers don't know exactly what they want, but they know they want something different. Cali Williams Yost warns that her book will not hold your hand and present you with the perfect solution. Instead, she says, the job is up to you. Nevertheless, she manages to be surprisingly reassuring. She provides practical exercises at the end of each chapter, explains time-tested strategies and presents case studies to illustrate her claim that anyone can find a satisfying balance between his or her career and personal life. We recommend this book to any employee seeking a better work-life fit. Managers may feel reassured to hear that Yost places the responsibility on the worker, rather than simply blaming companies for being too rigid.

A gift to individuals and corporations.......2004-05-04

I read this book both from a personal perspective as well as an employer's perspective. How do I attract and RETAIN the best and the brightest for a long period of time? This book is so compelling and full of actionable information that a copy now resides in my company's library.

If you are thinking of quiting your job, read this first.

Cali Williams Yost shows us that the largest of changes are indeed possible AND she demonstrates that even the smallest of changes can make the world of difference.

This book changed my life!.......2004-04-16

After the birth of my first child, I found that the corporate 8-to-6 grind was no longer for me. Cali Yost's practical, easy-to-follow and well-thought-out approach helped me to consider, not only my personal needs, but also the realities of my work when tailoring a work+life fit that works for me. As a result, I am now working as an independent consultant, which allows me to have the flexibility I want while continuing to do the work that I love. With all of the negative articles of recent months focusing on women "opting out", Cali Yost's message that "work doesn't have to be all or nothing" is not only positive, it is empowering. I have now creating a work+life fit that works for me and I have never been happier!

Inspiring!.......2004-04-15

As an at-home mother who has slowly let her work-life fade out, this book was an inspiration. I knew I could bring work back into my life, I just wasn't sure of how to do it. Yost walks you through the steps of identifying how much or how little work you want at a given point in your life and how to attain that schedule. The personal stories throughout bring up the common fears of missing promotions or losing the all-important "edge". Yost knows her business. She realistically addresses both the benefits and compromises of identifying your wants and making them heard.

This book has helped me create boundaries around my at-home work so I have time for some career. Making the boundaries helped me focus my time, my energy and my long-term vision.

Thank you Yost!

Book Description

An old adage cautions against carrying all of your eggs in a single basket. Yet many investors maintain a significant portion of their wealth in one stock, as a result of executive compensation packages, stock inheritances, IPOs, or corporate buyouts, leaving their portfolio in a dangerous position. Tim Kochis, a recognized leader in financial planning, has compiled more than fifteen strategies for managing concentrated stock wealth. The book explores the key barriers to addressing concentration risk--securities law, taxes, psychological resistance--that clients and their advisers must overcome to successfully manage concentrated stock wealth. This book fills a void in the adviser's arsenal and lays out the options available to clients. Using examples drawn from decades of work for thousands of investors. Tim Kochis shows not only what can be done, but also what actually works.

Book Description

This book contains the proceedings of the first workshop held at Monte Verità near Ascona, Switzerland on September 24-29, 1989. The workshop was designed to survey the current understanding of water and solute transport through unsaturated soils under field conditions, and to foster research by discussing some unresolved key issues relative to transport modeling and experimentation in four "Think Tank" groups. The first part of this book consists of the reports prepared by the Think Tank groups, who discussed the following topics: modeling approaches, effective large scale properties, evaluation of filed properties, and the role preferential flow. The second part contains a selection of reviewed original contributions presented at the workshop, with topics ranging from the presentation of results from large scale experiments, to improved or new modeling approaches, and to legal or policy aspects. This book is intended for researchers in soil science, hydrology, and environmental engineering who have an interest in transport and reaction processes in the unsaturated zone. It will provide them with a representative sample of current research activities, and with a group discussion of future research directions in four important areas of water and solute transport.

Book Description

This groundbreaking volume explores how Islamic discourse and practice intersect with gender relations and broader political and economic processes to shape women's geographies in a variety of regional contexts. Contributors represent a wide range of disciplinary subfields and perspectives--cultural geography, political geography, development studies, migration studies, and historical geography--yet they share a common focus on bringing issues of space and place to the forefront of analyses of Muslim women's experiences. Themes addressed include the intersections of gender, development and religion; mobility and migration; and discourse, representation, and the contestation of space. In the process, the book challenges many stereotypes and assumptions about the category of "Muslim woman," so often invoked in public debate in both traditional societies and the West.

Short excerpt: You will ruin me. The words were said in a tone of innocence which a man of any delicacy ought to have obeyed; they went to the heart and pierced it.

Book Description

In short, sire, I found myself this morning robbed of those jewels you admired so much. They have been ravished from me, sire! To steal the jewels of the Elector of Bavaria! those scoundrels respect nothing! they'll steal your kingdom if you don't take care. As soon as I missed the jewels I went up to the room of that apprentice, who is, assuredly, a past-master in thieving. This time we don't lack proof.

Fun to read.......2005-08-04

It is an unusual Balzac masterpiece about love, passion and crime - a medieval story, fun to read, with a King turned into a detective and his avaricious silversmith, with the King's maried daughter who has a lover on the side, and the lover who tries to get closer to her by moving in with the Kings Silversmith... And above all these intrigues, the King is missing royal valuables and suspects one after the other...
