There is more than a touch of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' in the way many organizations approach project management and the consequences are all too clear: project methodology inappropriately applied; little or no consideration of complexity or ambiguity; alienation of the stakeholders and a statistically poor record of performance for major business or infrastructure projects. Charles Smith's groundbreaking book Making Sense of Project Realities offers convincing explanations as to why project management theory and practice have become disconnected and describes the kind of complex, human skills that are required to deliver successful projects. The text draws heavily on the experiences of practising project and programme managers from across private and public sector organizations, many of whose stories were shared and analysed during the two-year research network 'Rethinking Project Management', which brought together thought leaders on project management from consultancy, industry and academia. The result is a highly readable, very credible and imaginative exploration of the nature of projects and programmes that will strike a chord with every project practitioner; a book that offers a realistic set of ideas for developing creative and effective project players, who understand the purpose of what they are doing, the context within which they are working, and the people with whom they need to engage. Update: Several MBA Courses use this book and the tutor feedback is encouragingly positive, including: "can be used from day one to change the mindset of the students concerning projects and their management."

What is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), besides, it being something I've lived with for over 40 years now? It's fear. When you experience something so traumatic like war, loss of a loved one, being attacked/raped, active shooter events, a car accident a fear response is embedded in your memory and "triggers" are created. You relive that experience over and over, especially if you experience a trigger like a similar smell, sound, sight, feeling (internal or external), or taste. A challenge of reacting to trauma is that it does not strike and then vanish. It lingers on for years, leeching the energy and hope of its victims with merciless precision, only positive coping skills can defend your wellbeing and restore hope. In modern times, it's a challenge to escape from the world of triggers. Soldiers and civilians alike have (PTSD) and they're struggling to survive, approximately twenty veterans take their lives each day as a result, and an unprecedented number of both veterans and civilians alike die each year, the correct number of not reported. A lot of people also turn to drugs like heroin, opioids, cocaine, marijuana, or alcohol as an escape mechanism (negative coping skills) and they have given up on all hope of living a normal life. This book provides a way out instead of drugs or negative coping skills. It reviews the symptoms, causes, and challenges involved in PTSD. It covers the issues of Post Incarceration Syndrome (PIS). It works through the many ways of creating new pathways, including meditation, self-awareness, grounding techniques, and more (positive coping skills) that I have taught to countless people in local rehabilitation centers to both Veterans and civilians alike. You can have the same positive experience they did by participating in the worksheet activities throughout this book, you will be guided to take that next step, create a path, and live the happiness that was meant to be yours before your traumatic experience.

Operation: Enlighten is a strategy guide to surviving in a dangerous world. This book has been developed to "enlighten" everyday people of the dangers around them and to teach them how to protect themselves and the ones they love in today's world. I developed this knowledge through mixing Shaolin Kempo Karate and Ninjutsu forms of martial arts that you will never see mixed in training anywhere else. This will demonstrate tactics I have used for years in the field working as a Private Investigator and Security Consulting. This specialized training for me began in Fort Benning Georgia way back in the spring of 1993 where I received my Army Infantry Basic Training and Advanced Infantry Training. The only time my unit went overseas was to Guantanamo Bay Cuba where we were guards for detention camps and riot control if needed. My Company was the riot control for Camp X-Ray where all the troublemakers were sent to, so it was an eventful six months. My training continues to this day with martial arts, extensive Private Investigators, and security consultant training, not to mention years in the field. I also furthered my training within the National Guard, and college for Criminal Justice for several years. Please leave a review after reading : -)
