En este libro, hemos viajado juntos a través de los mundos de experiencia de diversos agentes de bienes raíces, desde los veteranos con más de 20 años en el negocio hasta los recién llegados a la industria. A lo largo de esta travesía, hemos destacado la importancia de los cuatro pilares fundamentales (PROMOVER - PROSPECTARCONVERTIR - HACER SEGUIMIENTO) que hacen a un agente de bienes raíces, no solo exitoso, sino extraordinario: competencia técnica, habilidades interpersonales, ética profesional y adaptabilidad. Hemos explorado cómo estas competencias se ven y se aplican desde diferentes perspectivas, teniendo en cuenta factores como la edad, la experiencia y la familiaridad con las herramientas tecnológicas.

"A full-bodied cast and enjoyably dense plot elevate this fantasy tale." - Kirkus Reviews Lyaphend Farwalth is a fugitive ex-government operative in Golem, an autocratic, technologically advanced colony isolated from the rest of the world. Having escaped into a life of relative simplicity alongside her affluent adoptive family under the employment of a cyberterrorist clan, she is left with questions regarding her upbringing and the inner workings of a nation she barely knows: What is the history of Golem's mysterious ruling family? What are her faint memories of a faceless woman lost in a meadow? What is the nature of her supernatural power and the madness dormant within her? Wave Haizer, the young daughter of Golem's dictator, is hosting a lavish party to commemorate Golem's 1000th year and her older brother's upcoming inaugural address; Lyaphend considers this the perfect opportunity to confront her anonymously and determine the source of a foreboding influence within the building. Wave, having expected her company, has a proposition for her to claim the freedom she has sought since her childhood, but only under the condition that she reclaims her past. Lyaphend's consciousness is whisked away into an olden era in which she was among the ghastly entities prowling the lands beyond Golem's borders-one whose pact with a human woman would forever brand Lyaphend as a threat to existence in its entirety. As she struggled to accomplish in her past life, she must come to terms with the contradiction of what she is and who she wants to be to earn her place in the world.

Ganador del Premio Nautilus, 2017-Oro en Negocios y LiderazgoMonica Sharma describe cómo podemos obtener nuestra sabiduría y capacidades internas para manifestar un cambio que encarne valores universales como la dignidad, la compasión, la justicia y el valor. Basándose en más de veinte años de trabajo para las Naciones Unidas y otros lugares, presenta un nuevo enfoque radical para el liderazgo transformacional, uno que crea sistemas de cambio donde todos puedan participar y no solo analistas y expertos en política. Demostrando que todos podemos ser arquitectos de una nueva humanidad, Mónica desmitifica la creación, planificación e implementación de políticas para que todos puedan desempeñar un papel informado y estratégico en la erradicación de los problemas más difíciles del mundo. Utilizando ejemplos mundiales de la vida real, nos muestra cómo nuestras características innatas de compasión universal, impulso de equidad y capacidad humana pueden crear nuevos patrones que aborden eficazmente los principales desafíos, como la gran desigualdad, el odio desenfrenado, los conflictos basados en la identidad social y la mentalidad insaciable de la codicia. Escrito en un estilo directo y accesible, Liderazgo Transformacional Radical describe un concepto de cambio pionero que ya está generando resultados equitativos y sostenibles en todo el mundo."La voz de Monica Sharma, basada en experiencia y convicción, fortalece el caso de que el liderazgo puede ser moldeado con igualdad, libertad y justicia, arraigado en el poder transformacional de la compasión humana".-Aruna Roy, activista sociopolítica y ganadora del Premio Magsaysay 2000"La supervivencia y el futuro de la humanidad y la civilización dependen del marco que Mónica Sharma esboza en Liderazgo Transformacional Radical.

"Father" is a verb, and fathering is the highest calling of God on men. Man Maker Project is a guide for fathers to intentionally usher their sons into godly manhood. Now more than ever, the reality of unfinished men confronts us at every turn. Without intentional fathering, a boy's core question--Am I a man?--forever echoes in his soul. Every boy needs to hear his father's clear "yes" in response. While many fathers know they should do something for their maturing sons, they have little idea how to create such an initiatory process. Man Maker Project offers a practical roadmap that equips fathers to create a unique, modern-day masculine initiation experience for their sons. Rather than a single event or ceremony, fathers can guide their boys through a yearlong process, with the support of a cadre of hand-selected men. This book also challenges fathers to investigate their own stories, as God's mutually redemptive design is for us to be fathered ourselves as we father our sons. Through this modern-day rites of passage process, fathers fulfill their calling, sons find their footing, and society receives solid men ready to strongly and kindly restore the world.

L'antologia contiene i racconti di Romina Angelici, Irene Aprile, Helen Bellow, Giuliana Benedetto, Lucia Cabella, Paola Campanelli, Alexandra Capponi, Samuela Casali, Alice Currenti, Giordano Giorgi, Valeria La Falce, Antonella Lamanna, Lavinia Magnotta, Maria Grazia Nocera, Eliana Nugnes, Francesca Rocchi, Anna Luigia Salis, Denise Salis, Adriana Spada, Judith Sparkle, Sara Staffolani, Francesca Tamani, Matteo Testa, Jessica Tommasi.

Discriminated and confined to reserves, thousands of North American Indigenous people enlisted as volunteers in the Canadian and US military to fight Nazi-Fascism in Europe. They fought for rights and freedom that they did not have themselves. Of these, two Métis brothers who also left for Europe were the sons of a gold prospector from Palermo. Canadian troops landed in Sicily on 10 July 1943, battle after battle, from Agira to Salerno, from Ortona to Anzio, from Cassino to the breaching of the eastern Gothic Line in Emilia Romagna, hundreds of Indigenous soldiers contributed to free Italy from Fascism. Of these forgotten heroes, at least fifty were killed in action and are buried in Italian war cemeteries. Those who returned from the front and often became elders, artists, sportsmen, even actors, continued to fight for those civil rights they had already given to others, defending their sacred land from shocking environmental devastation. This is their story. A modern-day story of war and peace never told before.
