If you, or anyone in your network would like the audiobook and eBook versions of my #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller, click this linkMany of you would be aware that I recently had surgery to replace my right hip. The surgery has gone very well and I am now back on my feet, which is great .A few Sundays ago was the first time I had been to a function at our local junior football club, of which we have been members for 15 years and for which I have held many roles, including having commenced the girls junior football program back in 2015, which is still going strong today.As a result of a story too long to share, I had a box full of my books that didn't cost me anything. I thought to myself, “Who could I share these with? How can I share some of my books?"The answer: the coaches and parents at our Junior Football Club.That night, the club was heaving with well over 300 players and parents in attendance. The club President Brodie Phillips gave the free book a plug in both his opening and closing speeches, including the fact the book had become a #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller. Our club motto is, “Through football, better citizens” and it is a motto that is alive and breathing at the club. It is a motto that means a lot to me.However, I could not give all the books away. I still had 18 books in the box. Heaps of parents simply said, “It sounds interesting, but I don't read.”I have received feedback that the subtitle could have been, “Lessons for parents from the pandemic”. Is there a more important leadership role than parenting?Upon reflection, they weren't saying they don't read “anything”. What they were saying was they don't read physical books.So, it got me thinking. I have a digital version of my book, and I have an audio version of my book, maybe you will listen to the book, or “read” the digital version. Then I thought, why not drop all the barriers and let everyone get both for free!So, because of my experience last night, you are going to benefit

You ask and you shall receive!Over time I will share the various audio chapters from my #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller "Disruption Leadership Matters - lessons for leaders from the pandemic".In this episode I share the Introduction where I explain the back story to why I wrote the book.You can get you copy here: https://www.orgsthatmatter.com/product-category/dlm/ If you would like support in creating a high-performance culture based on treating people as human beings, please click here to contact Gary Ryan

Gary Ryan from Organisations That Matter, and author of the #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller "Disruption Leadership Matters - lessons for leaders from the pandemic" shares a conversation with Bonnie Low-Kramen, author of "Staff Matters - People-Focused Solutions For The Ultimate Workplace".Bonnie was Academy Award winning actor Olympia Dukakis' Personal Assistant for 25 years. Bonnie learned extraordinary lessons about leadership and a people focused culture in her time with Olympia. In 2011, Bonnie created her business to train Personal & Executive Assistants, as limited training existed at the time. Bonnie's training includes enabling the Assistants to teach their manager how to best use their skills.Having taught thousands of Assistants in 14 countries and 20 states within the USA, Bonnie has heard first-hand about the culture crisis that exists in many organisations. 93% of Bonnie's attendees are women, and as such Bonnie has become acutely aware of the challenges that women and people of other non-male genders experience in the workplace. And it isn't a pretty picture. Thankfully, Bonnie has solutions that you won't want to miss, and I'm confident you will enjoy every second of this conversation.You can find "Staff Matters" by Bonnie Low-Kramen here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Staff-Matters-People-Focused-Solutions-Workplace-ebook/dp/B0BNP8371F/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1678832933&sr=8-5You can find "Putting Stories to Work" by Shawn Callahan here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Putting-Stories-Work-Shawn-Callahan/dp/0992338565/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1HODKJY2UJZDQ&keywords=Shawn+Callahan&qid=1678947284&sprefix=shawn+callahan%2Caps%2C293&sr=8-2You can find "Dare to Serve" by Cheryl Bachelder here: https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=dare+to+serve+how+to+drive+superior+results+by+serving+others&crid=2MLV0Z0SV759F&sprefix=Dare+to+serve%2Caps%2C304&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_2_13You can find "Disruption Leadership Matters - Lessons for leaders from the pandemic" by Gary Ryan here: https://www.amazon.com.au/Disruption-Leadership-Matters-lessons-pandemic-ebook/dp/B09LTJYKYP/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2SUCPYMRKEGBG&keywords=disruption+leadership+matters&qid=1678947371&sprefix=Disruption+leadersh%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-5Contact Gary Ryan here: https://www.orgsthatmatter.com/contact-us/ If you would like support in creating a high-performance culture based on treating people as human beings, please click here to contact Gary Ryan
