Current read list

Looking for improvement and or guidance.  So here is my current reading list.  One book through my husband brought and I stole it "temporarily" to read for myself. LOL

Click the pictures if you want to check them out at amazon.


Actually already got half way through the above.  Click the picture if you want to check it out at amazon.

Synopsis:
To get the best from your employees, you need to be more than a manager. You need to be a coach.

You're a leader because you possess expertise in your field. You have the training and experience. You understand your business - but can you fully motivate and engage your team?

Michael K. Simpson, a senior consultant to Franklin Covey, has spent more than twenty-five years training executives to become effective coaches, mentoring and guiding leaders and managers to encourage and develop the talent of their people - the most important asset in any organization. In this guide, you will acquire the skills to coach your personnel from the ground up, maximizing their potential on a personal level, as members of the team, and as contributors to the organization as a whole.

Transform your business relationships (and your business) with this comprehensive tool for optimizing productivity, profitability, loyalty, and customer focus. Don't just manage. Energize. Galvanize. Inspire. Be a coach.

Here is the book I "borrowed" from my hubs:


Synopsis:
Do You Know What It Takes to Be a High Potential in Your Organization?

Being seen as a high-potential leader is essential to getting promoted and reaching your organization's upper echelons, but most companies keep their top-talent list a closely guarded secret. And the assessment process they use to decide who is and isn't a future leader is an even greater mystery.

The High Potential's Advantage takes you behind the scenes and shows how you can get on, and stay on, your company's fast track. Leadership development experts Jay Conger and Allan Church draw upon decades of research and experience--designing high-potential programs for hundreds of large well-known global organizations and assessing and coaching thousands of talented leaders--to answer the critical questions asked by ambitious individuals like you: What will it take for me to advance in this organization? What does my boss look for when deciding whether I’m a high potential? Once I'm on the list, then what? Can I fall off it and, if so, what do I do?

Revealing the key differentiators--five critical "X factors"--that set people apart across companies of all types, Conger and Church show what you need to do to achieve and maintain top-talent status. You’ll find detailed advice for cultivating and practicing each X factor, with numerous and rich examples from those on the verge of their first promotion to those only a step away from the C-suite. The High Potential's Advantage also shows you how to gain insight into and excel at the specific process your company uses to identify and develop high potentials--and how to determine which unique capabilities your company values the most. The High Potential's Advantage is the essential guide to becoming a leader in your organization.

Our new Friends

So since I've been a little off with my blogging I haven't told the world about our new friends/family that we adopted last year. 

We the Qhamata family are now the proud owners of 2 (yes two) Ball Pythons.  They were re-homed to us by our new friend Tegan that works at Pet Co.

The first was named Venom, but don't let the name fool you ball pythons are constrictors and don't actually have any venom.  I have my middle child to thank for the name.  This snake was our first and is a pet for the kids.
Isn't he cute! I've never been a snake person and balked at the idea from day one, but after researching the breed and visiting the pets store a couple of times myself after about 3-4 months I finally agreed to the insanity of it and that's when we met Tegan.  We were looking for a rep to purchase the python in the observation tank and a cage when she informed us she had a bp that was about 3 y/o that needed a good home.  Taking her word for it we brought the tank and arranged to pick up the snake in a week to make sure he was taking frozen rats.

Fast forward a couple of months we are shopping for snake food when we run into Tegan who again offers to re-home another snake to us being that we've been such good parents to Venom.  Enter Goldie.
This not being his best picture but he's really shiny :) This one, this one is mine. 

Of course now that everyone more or less has their snake my husband is on some BS looking to not add another ball python to our growing zoo, but an actual python or a Boa.   SMH  I opened the flood gates when I agreed to the first. LOL

So far he's entertained a red tailed boa, something similar to the white lipped python.  He's easy as long as it's a baby and it will be bigger than our ball pythons because since 'he's a big man he needs a big snake'.  ANYWAYS LOL!

So we currently are the owners to two ball pythons with the possibility of 3rd snake in the near future.

I walk for him...


Did you know that premature birth is the #1 killer of babies in the United States?
I'm on a mission to change that. Our family knows firsthand the challenges of having a baby born too soon. We first started walking in 2008 with our daughter. In 2009 the meaning of the walk became all to real when our first son was born at 20 weeks. Being before V-day (Viability at 24 weeks) he was too little to survive. Even though we were already planning to continue to raise funds. I've made it a mission to continue every year.
Join us http://ow.ly/KXcI309ONmT and walk or donate for all the babies born to soon.
