2.5 Billion Heartbeats
"2.5 Billion Heartbeats is not just a leadership book-it is a wake-up call. A reminder that leadership has never been about titles, corner offices, or authority, but about influence, intention, and the posture of our hearts. Every human life is given roughly 2.5 billion heartbeats, and the question this book dares to ask is simple and unsettling: What are you doing with yours? In a world exhausted by pressure, performance, and empty definitions of success, this book challenges us to slow down long enough to remember that "leadership is not what you do to people, but what you awaken within them."Written for business leaders, parents, spouses, coaches, teachers, and everyday people who shape lives without ever holding a formal title, 2.5 Billion Heartbeats reframes leadership as deeply personal and profoundly human. This is a call to lead at work-but also at home. To understand that "who you are becoming matters more than what you are achieving," and that the way we show up for our families, our teams, and our communities leaves a legacy far beyond numbers or accolades. Through powerful stories, hard truths, and the H.E.A.R.T. leadership model, this book confronts the lie that leadership belongs to a few and boldly declares that "every heartbeat carries influence, and every life leaves a mark."At its core, this book is an invitation-to live, love, and lead differently. To stop chasing applause and start building trust. To move from burnout to purpose, from control to compassion, from success defined by profit to success defined by people. As the book reminds us, "One day the noise will fade, the titles will disappear, and what will remain is the way you made people feel." 2.5 Billion Heartbeats will challenge you, stir you, and ultimately call you to lead from the heart-starting today, with the life and influence you already have."

Along the way, you'll learn from real-world case studies and deeply human dilemmas-moments in classrooms, boardrooms, and high-stakes settings where people must choose between convenience and courage.A standout section features letters to practitioners based on real situations in medicine, cybersecurity, innovation, and leadership-bringing you into the emotional reality of decisions that can affect safety, trust, and wellbeing.Inside you'll find: * Practical frameworks for ethical decision-making in fast-changing environments* Guidance for building an ethical culture inside teams and organizations* Case studies and lessons from technology, infrastructure, and public trustIf you've ever wondered, "What's the right thing to do-when it's complicated?" this book is your compass.

The ME Factor
Four million new books enter the market every year. Visibility in that chaos requires more than tactics-it requires strategic clarity. And your unfair advantage isn't another platform or promotion trick. It's you. THE ME FACTOR: Your Secret Weapon for Author Visibility provides the framework authors have been missing.

Perfect for self-published authors drowning in tactics, traditionally published authors seeking platform growth, and business executives writing their first book. Towles' background brings a rare trifecta: an MBA, 18 years in corporate communications, and 14 published books.

It's Identity meets Market Intelligence - which will make you not just visible but memorable to the readers who matter most - to your book, your brand, and your legacy. If you loved the tactics in Your First 1000 Copies and StoryBrand but are searching for a framework, The ME Factor delivers-the strategic WHY and permission to show up as yourself. Visibility without facade. Impact without pretense. "A system that helps authors understand who they are, what they offer, and why that matters. This book is pure gold!" - Leo Bottary, Founder of Peernovation, Author of Peernovation 365
Writing the Economics Research Article
You've done the research. You have the results. Now you have to write the paper - and nobody taught you how.Most economics undergraduate and graduater programs assume you'll absorb writing conventions by osmosis: read enough papers, attend enough seminars, and eventually you'll figure out how an Introduction works. Writing the Economics Research Article makes the implicit conventions explicit. Drawing on a corpus of 149 published economics and econometrics articles (over 815,000 words spanning macro, labour, development, finance, health, trade, econometrics, and more), it reveals what published writers actually do, section by section, sentence by sentence.The findings are specific and immediately actionable. For example, Economics Introductions account for roughly 38% of the paper, which is far more than in the sciences. 68% of papers preview their results in the Introduction. Conclusions average just 504 words. Research gaps are created primarily through adversative connectives like however, not through phrases like "little research has examined." Only 8% of papers follow a standard IMRDC structure; the rest use a mix of functional and thematic headings that reflects the discipline's distinctive approach to argument.Thirteen units take you through every section of the paper: from architecture and framing (Introduction, Conclusion, Abstract) through the body sections (Model, Data, Estimation, Results) to the cross-paper features that reviewers notice even when you don't: hedging calibration, tense consistency, citation strategy, etc.Every unit follows the same practical structure. First, a set of conceptualisation questions to answer before you write. Then, corpus frequencies showing what published writers do. Then, real example sentences from published articles. Not invented models, but actual language from peer-reviewed work. Finally, a revision checklist you can apply to your own draft.This book won't tell you what to argue or how to do your econometrics. It will show you how to present your work in the form that reviewers and readers expect. Written for students drafting their first paper, researchers entering economics from other disciplines, and non-native English speakers writing for economics journals. If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering how your Introduction should begin, how much hedging is enough, or whether your Conclusion is too long - this book gives you the numbers.
Writing the Business Research Article
Most academic writing guides tell you what good writing should look like. This book shows you what published business researchers actually do.Drawing on a purpose-built corpus of 136 peer-reviewed business research articles (over 1,160,000 words) Writing the Business Research Article reveals the patterns, conventions, and rhetorical strategies that characterize successful writing in the discipline. Every frequency count, every pattern, and every example sentence comes directly from published work.The book is organized in thirteen units across three levels. Units 1-4 address paper architecture and framing: the overall structure of a business paper, the Introduction, the Discussion, and the Conclusion and Abstract. Units 5-8 cover the body sections: the Literature Review and Theoretical Framework, Hypotheses and Propositions, Methodology and Research Design, and Results and Findings. Units 9-13 examine cross-paper features that shift from section to section: hedging and boosting, tense and voice, citation practices, connectives and argumentation, and the rhetorical work of first and last sentences. A final unit synthesizes all previous analyses to show how the entire paper serves a single macro-argument.What makes this book different is its evidence base. Rather than prescribing rules or offering model paragraphs to imitate, it uses corpus analysis to work from the bottom up: examining what hundreds of published writers actually chose to do when facing the rhetorical challenges of business research writing. The result replaces intuition with frequency. You learn, for example, that 98% of introductions open with the world rather than a reference to the paper; that 90% use explicit contribution language; that Discussion sections appear in 58% of articles, and that business papers follow not one but five distinct ending structures. These are not rules; they are the accumulated choices of successful writers, made visible so you can make informed decisions about your own writing.The book is designed for two uses: as a guide during initial drafting and as a diagnostic tool during revision. Each unit includes a conceptualization stage: questions to answer before you consult the corpus evidence, followed by detailed analysis of conventions, corpus frequencies, example sentences, and a revision checklist. A structured five-step revision workflow helps writers systematically check their manuscript from macro-structure down to sentence-level features.Written for students writing their first business research paper, researchers moving into business from other disciplines, and second language learners looking to sharpen their writing, this book offers something no prescriptive guide can: a clear, data-driven picture of how business research articles actually work.

Training Needs Analysis through DACUM: A Guide for Coordinators is a comprehensive, practice-based guide to conducting systematic training needs analysis and occupational analysis using the DACUM (Develop A CurriculUM) system, originally developed by Robert E. Adams in 1968.This book focuses explicitly on the analysis phase of occupational training development, addressing a critical weakness in many training programs: the failure to accurately diagnose performance problems and define job-relevant skills before designing instruction. Rather than assuming training is always the solution, the authors begin with performance analysis, guiding readers through methods for determining when training is appropriate and when performance issues stem from environmental, organizational, or motivational factors.Central to the book is DACUM's expert-worker-driven approach to occupational analysis. Readers are guided step-by-step through the role of the DACUM coordinator, committee selection, coordinating techniques, skill identification, skill wording, and the construction and validation of DACUM charts organized around General Areas of Competence (GACs). Emphasis is placed on defining observable, measurable skills, avoiding abstract knowledge statements, and maintaining the integrity of the analysis process.The book also explains the use of the DACUM rating scale to establish minimum acceptable levels of competence, differentiate performance expectations, and support later evaluation. While this volume concentrates on analysis, it intentionally situates that analysis within the broader DACUM Development Model, demonstrating how high-quality analysis becomes the foundation for curriculum development, learning activities, and performance-based evaluation.Written for DACUM coordinators, training and development professionals, instructional designers, workforce educators, and career and technical education leaders, this book serves both as a technical reference and a working guide. It is designed to help professionals produce training programs that are efficient, defensible, and directly aligned with real occupational performance-avoiding over-training, under-training, and misaligned curricula.As part of the DACUM series, Training Needs Analysis through DACUM stands as the definitive resource on conducting authentic DACUM-based analysis and preserving its role as the foundation of an integrated occupational training system.
You're on Mute
This was never meant to be a book that offered tidy solutions. Instead, it's a declaration. A refusal to stay quiet.

Each chapter is crafted by a woman or gender-minority who has faced challenges in the tech sector but has nonetheless paved a path forward. Featuring women from Argentina, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Somalia, and the US; women who learned English from Oprah reruns, who taught themselves how to code at public library computers, who left countries, families, and whole lives behind; women who work at Google and Microsoft, in small-business, and in venture capital. And while the careers they have built are vastly different, they all have one thing in common: they have taken themselves off mute. Whether C-Suite executives, founders, change agents, coders or all the above, they are first and foremost, trailblazers. And they each tell a story about the long, slow climb up the tech ladder and the sting of being told "we love you, but..." This is a book about triumph and hope. If you are concerned about the voices in tech that are influencing the next generation of technology and its impact on humanity, You're On Mute shines a light on the shared frustrations many women experience, writing back with inspiring stories, practical advice, and hope for the future.

Get Real
Get Real is a business book for women filled with inspirational and honest stories of starting, scaling and failing in business. Entrepreneur Lisa Teh was inspired to write the book after realising her summer reading list had plenty of business books written for, and by, men, but very few by women. This fuelled her desire to inspire women to follow their start-up dreams, but to also give them practical advice via her own learnings from running and scaling successful businesses. If you've ever wanted to start your own business, are currently doing a side hustle or are looking to take your business to the next level, this is the book for you. Get Real is full of valuable lessons from Lisa and 30 other amazing women - in fields ranging from fashion and beauty to tech and healthcare - on topics from how to find your business idea, raising money, scaling, marketing your brand, backing yourself, how to build resilience (especially when the odds are stacked against you) and much more. Women face unique challenges in business and as Lisa proudly declares: 'You can't be what you can't see.'
Dreams and Determination
Everyone has dreams ... but not everyone follows them.Some are held back by fear of failure, other's by expectations, and many just don't know where to start. In fact, it's estimated that around 75% of people never follow their dreams. They want it to be easy, they need it to be safe and they have to know that it's guaranteed to work out.Then there's the rare courageous few who go all in on their dreams. The ones who hear the call and run towards it, the ones who take the leap before they have all the answers, and the ones who somehow just know that this is where they're meant to be going.Following your dreams can sound so simple but, in reality, it often takes an unwavering vision, ferocious courage and steadfast commitment. Following a dream, sometimes one only you can see, is not the easiest, safest or guaranteed option. But the cost of not doing it is living with the question: "What if I had?" And that question? It will haunt you far more than trying and failing ever could.So, if you're ready to go all in on your dreams, in this book you'll discover the inspiration, tenacity and determination it takes.

The Business Book Bible
Brian Tracy said, "This book gives you a proven strategy to write and sell an excellent book on any business subject you know and care about." Todd Sattersten, co-author of "The 100 Best Business Books of All Time," said, "No one tells you how hard it is to write a business book. Luckily, Derek's 'Bible' makes it easier-much easier." Literary agents, publishers, Fortune 500 consultants-they've all had rave reviews for "The Business Book Bible," the only full-length, in-depth book on how to put together a great thought leadership book. There are plenty of writing guides out there for memoirs, general business communication, crime thrillers, or romance novels. But until now, there's never been anywhere would-be business authors could turn to for help. That's unfortunate because business books present a completely different set of challenges. For example: - How do you connect with your readers so they trust you and your advice? - How do you artfully point to your products and services without coming off like a late-night infomercial? 
 - How do you keep your reader engaged throughout the book, especially if your material is--shall we say--less than thrilling?
 No other writing guide can teach you what you need to know...and do you really want to learn the hard way? 
With writing your book, you want to get it right the first time. Written by a business ghostwriter, "The Business Book Bible" covers everything you need to know, from framing your authority to picking the perfect title, plus: - Figuring out how long your book should be - Winning the battle of writer's block - Nailing down your real reader (and what to do when they're different than your ideal client)
 - Giving away the secret sauce - The unforgivable sin in writing - Looking like a pro (and not a rank amateur) - Acting like a publisher (even if you have one) ....and much, much more. You'll learn how to follow the same 5-step process the author uses to write and ghostwrite multiple books a year. You'll see how to keep your book focused and how to cut the unnecessary material. You'll discover multiple methods of getting your ideas out of your head--and most of them don't even involve writing! John Spence, voted one of the top 100 business thought leaders in America, said, "As the author of five business books, I sure wish I had read this one earlier in my career. It's would've saved me a lot of time, headache, stress, and money." Here's a startling example of just one of the great tips and tricks contained in the book: you don't start writing a book by actually writing the book. One of the biggest mistakes first-time authors make is sitting down at their computer, expecting to start with the first word of chapter one, and then write all the way through to "The End." If only it were that easy! Amateurs try to get it perfect right from the start. The pros know that writing is a process. You start by getting all your ideas out of head and onto paper first. You'll have a jumbled mess that looks like a new jigsaw puzzle. You have to sift and sort through it to find the material worth using. Then and only then can you start piecing the puzzle together. It's a painstaking, time-consuming process-but one that's well worth it. Peter Economy, "The Management Guy" at Inc. said, "Derek Lewis's 'The Business Book Bible' is by far the most comprehensive book I have ever seen on the nuts and bolts of writing a business book. If you're planning to write a business book, then you would do well to read this book first." Start writing your book by reading this one!
