The Look of Success
The Look of Success: Redefining Achievement, Identity, and Fulfillment on Your Own Terms challenges conventional ideas about what it means to succeed in today's professional and personal landscape.For decades, success has been framed as a destination defined by productivity, status, income, or recognition. Yet many high-achieving individuals find that reaching these milestones does not bring the fulfillment they expected. Instead, it creates a sense of misalignment-the realization that the life they have built no longer reflects who they are becoming.In this reflective, research-informed work, Dr. Karissa Thomas reframes success not as something to chase or perform, but as an evolving alignment between identity, values, and lived experience. Drawing on leadership insight, adult identity development, and emotionally intelligent reflection, the book explores how cultural expectations, inherited narratives, and professional conditioning shape how success is defined and pursued.Rather than offering formulas or surface-level motivation, The Look of Success invites readers to examine the internal dimensions of achievement. Through grounded insight and reflective prompts, readers are guided to distinguish external performance from internal fulfillment, recognize where ambition has become misaligned, and redefine success in ways that support integrity, clarity, and long-term well-being.Written for professionals, leaders, students, and individuals navigating periods of transition or recalibration, this book speaks to those who have succeeded by conventional standards yet sense there is more. It offers a framework for conscious self-definition-one that allows success to be revisited, refined, and lived intentionally as life and priorities evolve.The Look of Success contributes to contemporary conversations on leadership, identity, and sustainable achievement by reframing success as something to be defined and inhabited, rather than measured or proven.

The Wrong Kind of Expert
Most investment advice comes from the wrong kind of expert.Financial advisers, finance professors, accountants, and bank managers all have strong opinions about how you should invest in stocks. They'll tell you to diversify broadly, buy index funds, focus on the long term, and trust the process.There's just one problem: most of them have never successfully invested their own money in individual stocks. Their advice reflects their professional training and regulatory constraints-not what actually works in the real world.What if you approached stock investing differently?After selling my accounting software business in 2013, I became a full-time investor by necessity.I immersed myself in studying the methods of the world's greatest investors-Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Peter Lynch, and others who had actually built fortunes through stock investing. I combined their wisdom with my own business experience to develop a practical approach that made sense in the real world.The result? Average annual returns of over 35% since 2013.This is the approach I share in The Wrong Kind of Expert.In this book, you'll discover: Why conventional wisdom about diversification and index funds often leads to mediocre returnsHow to evaluate stocks the way successful business owners evaluate businesses-by understanding what actually creates valueThe lessons from history's most successful investors, and how to apply them todayWhy most professional investors underperform the market, and what you can do differentlyHow to avoid the psychological traps and emotional mistakes that destroy returnsThe critical difference between price and value, and why this distinction is essentialReal-world examples of investment decisions and what they reveal about effective investingThis isn't academic theory. It's practical guidance from someone who's done it.I don't manage other people's money. I don't sell financial products. I don't earn commissions on trades. I have nothing to sell you except the information in this book-the same approach that's built substantial wealth for me over the past decade.The advice in these pages is fundamentally different from what you'll hear from financial professionals. I learned from investors who actually made money, not from textbooks written by academics. I think about stocks as a business owner, not as a finance professional calculating risk metrics.Business owners think about value, growth, competitive advantages, and long-term prospects. Financial professionals think about asset allocation, risk-adjusted returns, and portfolio optimization.One of these approaches consistently makes money. The other keeps financial professionals employed.Who this book is for: This book is for intelligent people who want to take control of their investments but are tired of advice that seems designed to benefit everyone except the investor. It's not a get-rich-quick scheme. It's a thoughtful, common-sense approach to building wealth through stock investing-the kind of approach that works when your own money is at stake.If you're ready to think like a business owner and learn from investors who actually succeeded, this book will show you how.

It's a self-coaching reset for professionals who've followed the rules, delivered results, and still get overlooked in rooms where decisions are made. Through 21 clarity-building chapters, you'll dismantle the quiet scripts that keep smart people small: that you need to be louder to be credible, that showing your work is bragging, that you'll be chosen if you just keep your head down and put the work in.

Navigating Leadership In Chaos
The purpose of this study was to explore leader perception of leadership characteristics during times of chaotic change, like COVID-19. To explore this, I asked "What are leaders' perceptions of effective leadership characteristics in times of chaotic change?" This study was grounded in the constructs of Narcissistic Leadership, ServantLeadership, and used Q-Sort methodology. Participants were asked to sort 44 servant and Narcissistic Leadership characteristics from most effective to least, within the context of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results were analyzed and a three-factor solution emerged.This study showed that not only do leaders perceive both Servant and Narcissistic Leadership characteristics to be effective during times of chaotic change, but also that there are different styles of leadership that can be effective in the context of chaotic change events like the COVID-19 pandemic.
Too Good to Get Hired
This isn't a book about job searching. It's a survival guide for a system that punishes overqualified job candidates. If you're a professional over 40 - especially over 50 or 60 - you know the job market that once rewarded your experience now penalizes you for it. You've been told you're too experienced, too senior, too educated, or not the right fit. Translation: you're too good to get hired. Today's hiring system is run by algorithms and overseen by young hiring managers who don't want to hire anyone who reminds them of their mom or dad. They don't want to be outshined. Instead, they want safe, compliant, and cheap. But you're not done. You're not obsolete. You just need to understand the rules of how the modern employment system really works and how to win inside it. Too Good to Get Hired decodes the AI filters, biases, and fears that keep the most qualified people unemployed and provides a clear roadmap for turning your experience into an asset and not a liability. You don't need to work harder or dumb yourself down. You just need to reposition yourself. Because it only takes one yes to get into the right job for you
