Free Download Richard McGarry, "Teaching English as a Second Language: Giving New Learners an Everyday Grammar"
English | ISBN: 0786470623 | 2012 | 187 pages | EPUB, PDF | 4 MB + 4 MB
This guide examines the concepts that most often confound ESL students, whose confusion can generally be reduced to one very basic question: Why does English work that way? Focusing on the grammar of conversational speech, the book goes beyond simple description of the parts of speech, tenses and modes, and other topics of instruction to consider the cultural differences in language use (for native speakers of Japanese, for instance, the painting may be on the wall-but the wall is also on the painting) and even the neuroscience of our speech patterns. With 36 illustrations, an annotated bibliography and list of online resources, a glossary, and end-of-chapter exercises, this book equips instructors and advanced students to explain everyday language choices that stymie non-native speakers.

Giving Voice to Values How to Speak Your Mind When You Know What’s Right


Free Download Giving Voice to Values: How to Speak Your Mind When You Know What’s Right by Mary C. Gentile, Callie Beaulieu, Tantor Audio
English | September 11, 2018 | ISBN: B07GT89BJW | 7 hours and 49 minutes | MP3 128 Kbps | 430 Mb
How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite? Drawing on actual business experiences as well as on social science research, Babson College business educator and consultant Mary Gentile challenges the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools. She gives business leaders, managers, and students the tools not just to recognize what is right, but also to ensure that the right things happen.
The book is inspired by a program Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, and now housed at Babson College, with pilot programs in over 100 schools and organizations, including INSEAD and MIT Sloan School of Management. She explains why past attempts at preparing business leaders to act ethically too often failed, arguing that the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Through research-based advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas, Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values and align their professional path with their principles.

English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 151 Pages | ISBN : 303165045X | 24.6 MB
This book highlights the historic inflection point we are in, both in terms of philanthropy in general, and specifically in financing the solutions to our largest and most urgent social and environmental problems. It covers the two movements that have recently had a dramatic influence on capitalism. First, wealthy millennials have been pressuring their bankers to invest their family portfolios in companies with high social and environmental impact (ESG ratings), triggering a wave where the wealth management industry, and now all public companies, are significantly adapting to the increasing demand for good. Second, The Giving Pledge triggered another wave, changing what success and the accumulation of wealth means. It has even begun to redefine the goal of capitalism as more than 230 billionaires have pledged to give half or more of their wealth away.

Learn how practicing the art of kindfulness can support your mental and physical health, assist with memory and concentration, and help you find true happiness. Kindfulness encapsulates all that mindfulness is but expands it with the addition of kindness. It brings all the benefits that mindfulness does and much more. Research has shown that kindfulness as a practice boosts happiness, relaxes the nervous system, reduces blood pressure and inflammation, helps to relieve muscular (especially back) pain, and even reduces the rate of wear and tear at the genetic level. Kindfulness takes us out of ourselves and our troubles and stresses, and shifts our focus onto the needs and well-being of others. It warms us from the inside. This audiobook is an invitation to bring kindness to work, to our neighborhoods, and into our homes.
