Hooking Up
Summary
Filled with hilariously scandalous situations and enough sexual chemistry to power an airplane from New York City to the South Pacific, Hooking Up is the next standalone, laugh-out-loud romance audiobook from Helena Hunting, the New York Times best-selling author of the Pucked series and Shacking Up. Amalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception - but for all the wrong reasons. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. But he's not interested in becoming her revenge screw. Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But this time he isn't holding back. She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can't seem to resist him. They might agree that what happens on the island should stay on the island, but neither one can deny that their attraction is more than just physical. This sizzling audiobook is the perfect companion to any day at the beach or a rainy afternoon.

Communicate Like a Leader: Connecting Strategically to Coach, Inspire, and Get Things Done
Summary
"People don't leave an organization; they leave a boss" has become a truism in the workplace. The most common issue is that employees who get promoted from supervisor to manager or from manager to senior executive don't have adequate leadership and communication skills for the job. As a result, they are stuck in micromanagement mode. This audiobook addresses the micromanagement problem by providing principles to help professionals think, coach, converse, speak, write, and meet strategically to deliver results. Booher guides listeners through the transition from being a tactical thinker conducting day-to-day administrative work to a strategic thinker dealing with critical problem analysis, generating innovative ideas and aiming at a targeted solution. While strategic thinking is the first step to standing out, if you are unable to communicate your strategic thinking, you will remain stuck. Booher's research-based practice of strategic communication gives managers the training they desperately need as they move into leadership positions. The ability to take your knowledge, experience, and judgment and translate it for different groups and different levels in an organization transforms leaders from being ordinary to extraordinary.
