			<description><![CDATA[Richard Olivier's upcoming Inspirational Leadership: Timeless Lessons for Leaders from Shakespeare's Henry V draws on drama and fiction as source material for pragmatic, real-world advice for business leaders of today.  Undoubtedly, Shakespeare's characters are some of the most courageous, heroic, and inspiring figures in the Western canon, but what other characters should (and shouldn't) modern business leaders model themselves after?
BE LIKE...   Tom Joad and Jim Casy, John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath

One is an ex-preacher and the other an ex- and future convict, but much like every character in The Grapes of Wrath who doesn’t own a piece of land...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[We talk about the newest intern at Nicholas Brealey, of course!

Owen Ziegler is a graduate student at Emerson College and a native of the Boston area.  He has one year down and two to go on his M.F.A. degree, though like in undergrad, he’s in no particular rush to graduate.  Owen is a fiction writer primarily, but his love for travel (he speaks fluent Japanese and terrible Spanish) and sports (he owns about a dozen hockey jerseys) pushes him to write about so much more.  With such a diverse stock of published and upcoming titles, Owen can’t wait to contribute...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Like any industry, writing and publishing comes with its own language: a dialect of copyediting, production, and sales terms that control the communication of the business.  From back list to royalties, here’s a quick cheat sheet:
Advance:  Sometimes known as the Advance against Anticipated Royalties, the Advance is the amount paid to the author before the book is published.  The amount varies depending on the sales projection for the book, and can range from almost nothing to millions (think Stephen King).  Once the book is published the initial royalties earned make up for the advance, so the author doesn’t start earning...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There are two contradictory rules of fiction writing I’ve picked up in school.  One: Be Original.  Two: Everything has been done before.
The Question: How do you make your writing new, innovative, and all your own while utilizing the time-tested writing forms and allusions that link together all literature and stories since their beginning?
My answer: Don’t think about it too much.
True, you should take this with a little extra salt (my credibility is still wavering somewhere around optimistic college student), but as a writers and readers we are constantly absorbing story and all its forms, twists, and complexities.  From childhood we...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is a chasm in the bibliophile community – to reread or not? There are millions of books to discover – millions of books to challenge your perspective, open your imagination, and affect your character.  The argument: there is no time to go back! On we march!
I was blissfully unaware of this dispute until college.  Happily rereading the Harry Potter series for the umpteenth time or reading that same short story before bed now and then was part of the pleasure of reading for me.  Now, however, I have to consider my reading material more carefully.  After all, as a...]]></description>

Kristine Fuangtharnthip is a graduate student at Emerson College and will be completing her MA in Publishing &amp; Writing this May. A California native, she received a BA in English from the University of California, Irvine, before moving across the country and falling in love with Boston. Kristine’s favorite books include Jane Eyre, The Book Thief, and Blindness, and she will proselytize them to anyone who will listen. Before joining Nicholas Brealey, she completed internships at Coast Magazine, Before &amp; After Magazine, and...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[In a time of an evolving publishing industry, the US Department of Justice’s approval of Random House and Penguin’s proposed merger (announced this past week) is a big deal.  Exactly what it will mean is still unclear.  We know that they will have a quarter of the English-language market on lockdown, and we know (cringe) that their name will be Penguin Random House.
Publishing isn’t the only industry with some big merger news lately: US Airways and American Airlines announced their merger last week and now OfficeMax and Office Depot are in the final stages of merger talks.  Some sources feel...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The day of love is upon us! Yes, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, if for some reason you've missed convenience store arrangements of chocolate boxed up in cardboard hearts.  Everyone have their Hallmark cards ready?
&nbsp;
But really, a day dedicated to love is something of a free pass for me to curl up with a (gasp!) romance novel. Not all romance has to be as “low-brow” though – the genre pulls its weight in the world’s literary tradition.  From the old oral traditions of “love conquering all” right up to our one dollar Harlequins in the grocery store, romance has grabbed generation after generation...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Teams build bridges between individuals, create more complex and diverse work, and can strengthen the foundation of any company or organization.  They can also crash, burn and take the capital with them. To coach a team you have to be flexible, open, and aware of the team’s dynamic. The goal in team coaching is to strengthen the team. First, define what your team’s purpose is—what are you setting out to accomplish? Then, you can decide how your team needs to function in order to reach a mutual goal.

			<description><![CDATA[It’s no secret that nonverbal language is essential in our daily communication. We shrug our shoulders, look someone in the eye, and shuffle our feet. We learn to read nonverbal communication just as well as verbal, and soon we become multi-linguists of our own cultural language.
Cultural is the key word. Non-verbal language doesn’t necessarily translate across cultures. LaRay M. Barna in her essay “Stumbling Blocks in Intercultural Communication” featured in Basic Concepts of Intercultural Communication touches on the Language of Smiles. If you’re an American, you probably consider a smile to be a universal way of communicating some friendly intention...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[
When it comes to coaching across cultures, it is imperative to promote diversity and creativity when the members of your organization or workforce come from different backgrounds. There are two goals to consider when undertaking coaching across cultures (or, “intercultural coaching”): enabling efficient work whether on an international level or from a culturally diverse group of people, and achieving this in a creative and fresh approach to coaching that will go beyond the basics to connect to your work force. To better understand the multitude of cultures would be to apply the “Cultural Orientations Framework” that highlights the specific and...]]></description>

At the age of 22, on a summer vacation from university, Martin Calder moved to Péguilhan, a rural village in Gascony, to work at a family-run inn and farm. It was there—in the midst of working in the fields, shepherding and slaughtering sheep, feeding cattle, harvesting wheat, and watering crops—that he fell in love twice: first, with Anja, the blond-haired German student who steals his heart; and second, with Gascony and its unique people, village festivals, dusty roads, and sun-baked wine country.
Charming and humorous, this is the story of the characters that filled Martin’s summer: Jacques-Henri, the farmer whose family...]]></description>

Having always harbored an obsession for the wilderness of Australian land,  Tom is determined for him and a reluctant Katia to travel their way through the risky undertaking of hitchhiking, hoping for a more adventurous and memorable experience. And what an experience it is. Throughout their journey, Tom receives even more than he hoped for, encountering a vast array of Australian society. Roadhouses, waterholes, Aboriginal communities, caravan parks—defining characteristics of Australian culture that have survived from the past and are grounded in...]]></description>

While visiting Ireland, Chris meets and falls in love with Daniela, a beautiful Italian woman who begins his story with one life-changing request: that he may return with her to Italy to live with her.  From that moment on, Chris’s world is completely turned around as he follows Daniela to her hometown of Andrano, a small and gorgeous town along the Puglian coast that is inhabited by a quirky cast of characters and peculiar encounters with them.
Chris recounts his experiences entertainingly in ways both humorous and poignant. As a born Australian, Chris must adapt to the beauty and eccentricities of...]]></description>

In our newest book, Leaving on Top: Graceful Exits for Leaders, author David Heenan—a former marine, business school dean, and corporate executive—explores the art of the well-timed exit. Combining wisdom he’s gained from experience with profiles of industry leaders, such as George Foreman, Howard Schultz (CEO of Starbucks), and Betty White, Heenan reveals why some leaders "quit on top" while others "overstay their welcome."
Blogger Marty Zwilling was "intrigued by" Leaving on Top and Heenan's research on past and present leaders, prompting a recent post on The Huffington Post Blog. Zwilling drew from Leaving on Top to give his audience '10 Tips to Help a Business...]]></description>
