Please don't read this book in order. We created this compilation to serve as a just-in-time reference guide that you could turn to when you needed to increase engagement. Each chapter stands on its own, and you have the freedom to jump around. In fact, you'll get the most out of this book if you:1) Start at the table of contents.2) Find a topic you are most curious about.3) Read only that chapter. 4) Put the book down and experiment with what you've learned.After adapting to a remote work environment, online teaching, virtual training and distance learning during the pandemic, we all discovered some things we loved and some things we loathed. Being able to switch back and forth from virtual to in-person environments can give us all more flexibility. When done well, it can be more inclusive. Moving forward, organizations that are great at both will rise to the top. Will and I firmly believe that genuine connections, high engagement and fantastic collaboration are all still perfectly possible when remote.Each chapter of the book is based on a video from our YouTube channel dedicated to helping leaders and educators make connection easy. If you don't feel like reading, take out your phone and scan the QR code to make the chapter come to life! You'll find the main channel page, where videos are neatly sorted by topic: You may also notice that almost every chapter and video title is a question. That's because each one of the 200+ videos on our channel is a response to a question that a leader or educator has asked. For example, a participant once stuck around on Zoom after I finished leading a workshop on the "5 Ingredients for Virtual Engagement." After everybody else clicked "leave meeting," they whispered, "OK, so this is amazing, but how do you engage somebody when attendance is mandatory?" Two weeks later, we released a video tutorial answering that very question.

The work is an examination of the role of language in the constitution of self and in the presentation of identity. Following the path laid out by George Herbert Mead, Kenneth Burke and Mikhail Bakhtin the work presents self, identity and meaning as ongoing accomplishments between human actors who participate in what may be termed the dramas human relations. Human agents use language as symbolic actions with which they transform themselves and others, as well as places and things, clothing and money etc into meanings with which they conduct their lives.

The New York Times bestselling authors of Switch and Made to Stick explore why certain brief experiences can jolt us and elevate us and change us—and how we can learn to create such extraordinary moments in our life and work. While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember twenty years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children? This book delves into some fascinating mysteries of experience: Why we tend to remember the best or worst moment of an experience, as well as the last moment, and forget the rest. Why “we feel most comfortable when things are certain, but we feel most alive when they’re not.” And why our most cherished memories are clustered into a brief period during our youth. Readers discover how brief experiences can change lives, such as the experiment in which two strangers meet in a room, and forty-five minutes later, they leave as best friends. (What happens in that time?) Or the tale of the world’s youngest female billionaire, who credits her resilience to something her father asked the family at the dinner table. (What was that simple question?) Many of the defining moments in our lives are the result of accident or luck—but why would we leave our most meaningful, memorable moments to chance when we can create them? The Power of Moments shows us how to be the author of richer experiences.

Two leading experts on designing strategic conversations unveil a simple, creative process that allows teams to tackle their most challenging issues. In our fast-changing world, leaders are increasingly confronted by messy, multifaceted challenges that require collaboration to resolve. But the standard methods for tackling these challenges—meetings packed with data-drenched presentations or brainstorming sessions that circle back to nowhere—just don’t deliver. Great strategic conversations generate breakthrough insights by combining the best ideas of people with different backgrounds and perspectives. In this book, two experts “crack the code” on what it takes to design creative, collaborative problem-solving sessions that soar rather than sink. Drawing on decades of experience as innovation strategists—and supported by cutting-edge social science research, dozens of real-life examples, and interviews with well over 100 thought leaders, executives, and fellow practitioners— they unveil a simple, creative process that leaders and their teams can use to unlock solutions to their most vexing issues. The book also includes a “Starter Kit” full of tools and tips for putting the book’s core principles into practice.
