English | 2008 | ISBN: 0345497740, 0345497481 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 0.9 mb
"Jonesy," as she’s known to her fans, captivates millions of Hot 97 listeners with her daily dish on hip hop and rap celebrity. But within these pages are the juicy scandals that even this no-holds-barred DJ has kept off the airwaves. For the first time, Jones reveals everything-from her volatile upbringing as the child of alcoholic parents to candid stories of her early singing career under Doug E. Fresh’s wing (and between his sheets); from bitter feuds with Wendy Williams and shock jocks Star and Buc Wild to friendships with Patti LaBelle and Isaac Hayes; from collaborations with Fat Joe and Big Pun all the way to catfights with Christina Milian and BeyoncĂ©’s mother, Tina Knowles. But more than just a tell-all tale, this inspirational memoir is a testament to the struggles of a black woman trying to succeed in a white-male-dominated industry, where the sharks never stop circling no matter how much you achieve. Jones lets it all hang out and doesn’t tiptoe around anyone’s feelings-including her own.

Glad We Met The Art and Science of 11 Meetings [Audiobook]


Free Download Dr. Steven G. Rogelberg, Steven G. Rogelberg (Narrator), "Glad We Met: The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings"
English | ASIN: B0CT62RMF4 | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~06:00:00 | 170 MB
1:1s are arguably one of the most critical meeting types for the success of team members, managers, coaches, teams, and organizations. The best managers recognize that 1:1s are not an add-on to their role as a manager. Conducting 1:1s successfully are foundational to being a manager. At the same time, these meetings are the core of a direct report’s experience and development at work, including how well they engage and attach to their role, perceive the effectiveness of their manager, and envision their future at the organization. Scouring the research and evidence collected over twenty years from managers and team members, and drawing on interviews with top leaders from some of the most respected companies in the world, Dr. Steven Rogelberg covers topics such as: why effective 1:1s are critical to your success and the success of your team; messaging and positioning 1:1s for maximum value; finding the correct 1:1 cadence and meeting length to maximize positive impact without over-meeting; managing the intricate balance of productivity-building, relationship-building, and employee development; how to personalize your 1:1 approach to fit you and your direct reports; and more.
Glad We Met will make managers and direct reports walk away from every 1:1 energized more than any other moment of their workweek and with enduring impact.
