Love it! Love it! Love it! Cudos to Cassandra for having the insight and courage to write this gem of a book. Every single mother should have a copy of this book. It touches on so many important issues that I don't know where to begin. You'll learn not to beat yourself up over things that are out of your control. You'll learn how to tune out negativity from others so that you can focus on living your best life. You'll also learn what to look for and what not to look for in a mate. It's a small book that packs a big punch.
What I like most about it, besides the practical information was that I felt like Cassandra was right here with me. I feel like she understood my pain and my hopes for the future.

 

Much needed motivation and clear advise, December 9, 2008

This review is from: The Single Moms Little Book of Wisdom: 42 Tidbits of Wisdom To Help You Survive, Succeed and Stay Strong (Paperback)

This book has a lot of advise that can actually help any busy woman, not just a single mom, about believing in yourself and how to have that self respect you need. The encouraging parts would really help a newly single mom too, especially the one that says it's okay to grieve after a divorce. The advise is just very down to earth and candid, and I love the format. There's a wise saying and then an essay on it, so you could read one a day and focus on taking those small steps each day. I'd recomend this for any woman and especially for moms looking for a boost to their confidence.

I use to wonder if other people realize that divorce is like a death. This book is written from this perspective and helps you understand that it is okay to grieve. Divorce is tough and it hard adjusting to your new life especially if you are a parent. The book gives you words of wisdom which are followed by essays. It shows you have to be tough and strong during this critical time which allows you to grow.
If you need encouragement and support during/ after a divorce, then buy this book.

This review is from: The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs: How to Be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience (Hardcover)

"As soon as you move one step up from the bottom, your effectiveness depends on your ability to reach others through the spoken and written word." Peter Drucker
"Steve Jobs is the most captivating communicator on the world stage," says the author in his opening sentence. The book is divided into three sections: 1)Create the story. 2)Deliver the experience. 3)Refine and rehearse. The material lacks direct input from Jobs, is overly fawning vs. Jobs, and is somewhat repetitive. Nonetheless, given the importance of the topic and the value of the material, the book is well worth reading. The following summarizes some of its suggestions for planning and preparing a presentation.
1)What is the one big idea you want to leave with your audience? It should be short, memorable, and in subject-verb-object sequence.
2)Identify why you're excited about this company/product/feature, etc.
3)Write out the three messages you want the audience to receive, and develop metaphors and analogies in support.
4)Include a demonstration if your product topic lends itself to such. (Eg. pull the product out of your pocket if it is 'pocket-sized.'
5)Invite partners and customers to participate.
6)Include video clips if helpful, but limit to three minutes or less.
7)Answer the "Why should I care?" that's in the audience's mind. Have a passion for creating a better future.
8)Having an enemy (eg. IBM, Microsoft) helps visualize 'the problem' you're solving.
9)Simplify your presentation (and products).
10)Make numbers meaningful - eg. "Stores 1,000 songs," not "5 GB memory."
11)Don't use 'bullet-point' style visuals; instead, use short phrases that accompany your talk, or pictures.
12)Practice, practice, practice - and ask for feedback.
