The art of gathering : how we meet and why it matters / by Parker, Priya,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A bold new approach to how we gather that will transform the ways we spend our time together--at work, at home, in our communities, and beyond. In The Art of Gathering, Priya Parker argues that the gatherings in our lives are lackluster and unproductive--which they don't have to be. We rely too much on routine and the conventions of gatherings when we should focus on distinctiveness and the people involved. At a time when coming together is more important than ever, Parker sets forth a human-centered approach to gathering that will help everyone create meaningful, memorable experiences, large and small, for work and for play. Drawing on her expertise as a facilitator of high-powered gatherings around the world, Parker takes us inside events of all kinds to show what works, what doesn't, and why. She investigates a wide array of gatherings--conferences, meetings, a courtroom, a flash-mob party, an Arab-Israeli summer camp--and explains how simple, specific changes can invigorate any group experience. The result is a book that's both journey and guide, full of exciting ideas with real-world applications. The Art of Gathering will forever alter the way you look at your next meeting, industry conference, dinner party, and backyard barbecue--and how you host and attend them"--

The art of doing : a guide to getting motivated, getting unstuck and getting it done / by Lipscombe, Jesse,author.;
How to embrace a life of curiosity, action, and adventure while still mastering your to-do list. The answer is yes: when the default response is no, or maybe another time, choose yes and open yourself to more opportunities for growth. Let love lead--everyday: point your energy and focus toward what you love about what you're doing instead of focusing on avoiding potential negative outcomes; life will sort out all the details along the way. Move from "have" to "get": when you realize you don't have to do anything, you get to, you'll unlock a whole new world of gratitude for who and where you are right now. Embrace a lobster life: a lobster sheds its shell when there is no more room to grow and sprouts a new one; when you find yourself too comfortable, ditch your safety shell to grow a bigger one in its place. Do the next easiest: when you have an idea but feel overwhelmed by how big the undertaking might be, do the next easiest thing; no matter how daunting, you can always find the next easiest thing to keep your project moving forward. Follow your drum: we all have a deep reason, an inner beat, to why we want to do anything; when things get hard and you want to jump ship, tune in to that internal drum to keep on moving.

The Art of Doing A Guide to Getting Motivated, Getting Unstuck and Getting It Done [electronic resource] : by Lipscombe, Jesse.aut; cloudLibrary;
From the wildly popular speaker, how to embrace a life of curiosity, action and adventure while still mastering your to-do list In 2007, Jesse Lipscombe was training for the Beijing Olympics. An internationally top-ranked high jumper, his dreams of making the podium were shattered when he had a mini-stroke just five months before the Olympics. Jesse’s stroke was a turning point in his life and changed his entire outlook. Rather than a singular focus on achieving a goal like an Olympic medal, he began to focus on the “doing” – and a world of opportunity, wonder and happiness unfolded for him. Lipscombe uses lessons from his life as an actor, speaker, writer, entrepreneur, pro-athlete and singer to craft a simple template that anyone can use to ensure they get out of the blocks and continue the momentum towards their dreams and goals. Lipscombe outlines tactics and strategies from passion, pursuit and productivity including how to win through losing, the macro to the micro planning strategy, and how to only do what you love or find a way to love what you do. Sensible, practical and inspiring, The Art of Doing will help you do any and everything you hope for.
