Organizational Socialization Guide for Baggage, Luggage and Other Containers of Emotion (E03): A sho

This is a rhymed story is about onboarding new hires, told through the innocent eyes of a Suitcase's experience with a new employer. And yes, suitcases have a job to do. What's the story with this Suitcase? Just like all of the characters in our metaphor universe, this is another gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor. It's about your everyday goody two shoes, being enthusiastic about 1st day at work. That's when employees are at their peak motivation and their workplace mental health is fully charged. And yet so few employers get this onboarding journey right, transforming workplace wellness into workplace bullying. Our naive little Suitcase dreams of an ideal and textbook Onboarding process... You know, the one that stimulates your process of making sense in new surroundings and help you make new friends. But then, reality hits you in the face like Mike Tyson... Where's the lesson? We are all Suitcases in one way or another - with emotional baggage and luggage accumulated over time. This is the most relatable story ever told - because we have all experienced it personally. So we use this sentiment to illustrate how an ideal onboarding process should look like, relevant both for new hires, hiring managers, as well as your direct manager. Time to rethink how organizational socialization, integration and onboarding employees can be done better.

The Incredibly True Story of Personal Branding and the Different Hats We Wear (E02): A story about c

This is a rhymed story is about Captain Bossman's personal branding adventure and how your CV or resume writing can be turned into a cult classic! It's all about how you frame the narrative... What's the story with these statues? At first glance these statuesque creations look like characters from a superhero academy, but they're a part of our gender-ethnic-religious neutral metaphor universe. It's a story about our protagonist Captain Bossman, the ultimate mentor, a statue from the Hall of heroes, a memento-vivere and a zeitgeist of times gone by. This fictional character with a rich story to match an even richer personality has seen it all. Although being drawn as a masculine anthropomorphic statue, our character's main values endorse a universally inclusive prosocial approach towards humanizing work in the modern era. Is it a personal branding book? Well, yes and no. It's about the different hats we wear on our jobs, sometimes working multiple positions without acknowledging how valuable and difficult that is. We use the example of Captain Bossman wearing the mentor's hat across different jobs, to showcase just how important it is to emphasize your qualities to gain workplace appreciation. The art is in doing it without overdoing it and turning to overselling to gain some appreciation of your skills. Where's the lesson? We use the 'many hats of Captain Bossman' metaphor as an example of viewing yourself as a human brand both online and offline. If you're a human brand, then every professional workplace experience is a chance to showcase some of your qualities, right? Different qualities you emphasize in different positions across different industries help tell the story of your professional life. A narrative that is interesting and worthy of everyone's time, teaching us a bit about the human experience.

Kids start understanding prejudice by the time they're 3 years old. They can distinguish between physical traits--hair color, height, weight, etc.--even earlier.

Don't let your children deal with this by themselves. Here's what readers are already saying about this amazing picture book: *****(5*) 'What a lovely little book this is. The author has a fantastic way of putting over to the reader/child that not everyone is the same in this world/country/school. It is very well written in rhyme which children like to be read to in this manner. A great teaching book without even knowing you are teaching your child. I love the fact it is dad and daughter as well. The illustrations are brilliant. A definite 5 star read.' - sallyann *****(5*) 'Part of the Rainbow is a great book to gently teach children about diversity and differences. The look of main character Mia some of the illustrations and the rhyming text reminded me of Dr. Seuss.' - Reader Mom *****(5*) 'I enjoyed this short book. After I read it, I kept thinking that adults can even learn from it. I got a kick out of the clever and brightly colored illustrations these are good for small children as they will catch their attention and imagination. I like that it encourages creativity and when done with a parent or a sibling, it has the potential to foster bonding.' - Susan M. *****(5*) 'I just read this book to my two grand kids, ages 4 and 8. They both loved it. This book brings out differences in all children and then shows just how fun it can be to be so different. Because in the end, everyone comes together and all is well. Nice Job. Love this book!' - Patsy
