- Career forward : strategies from women who've made it / by Puma, Grace,author.; Shi, Christiana Smith,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In 'Career Forward', former PepsiCo COO Grace Puma and former Nike President of Consumer Direct Christiana Smith Shi offer a groundbreaking, empowering guide for women that shows how to prioritize a career path, build professional value, and enjoy a full life both in and out of the workplace. At a time when many long-held workplace structures and beliefs are changing, "Career Forward" is a beacon. Drawing on decades of experience reaching the top of Fortune 500 companies, the authors show women how to get paid what they're worth, navigate the shifts that occur in any company, and build a leadership identity. The authors challenge negative stereotypes about female ambition and urge women to be purposeful, follow their dreams, and seize the chance to lead "big" lives. Partly, the secret is to focus on career first and job second. More rewarding even than chasing a job title or salary bump is staying on a long-range career path that leads to success. Packed with personal anecdotes and wisdom, and featuring quizzes and checklists for self-evaluation, "Career Forward" provides a wealth of lessons, including the value of thinking of yourself as a "growth stock" and what it means to live a well-rounded 360-degree life. To anyone who wonders whether working hard is really worth it, Puma and Smith Shi emphatically answer "yes," because the rewards will far outweigh the effort.- Subjects: Career changes.; Career development.; Women;

- Call the vet : my life as a young vet in 1970s London / by Fogle, Bruce,author.;
When he arrived in London as a newly trained vet, Bruce Fogle quickly learnt to embrace the unexpected. An idealistic, fresh-faced Canadian, he cut his teeth at the prestigious Woodrow & Singleton surgery in the heart of the Knightsbridge. Just five minutes' stroll from Harrods and their notorious 'Zoo Department,' Singleton's was frequented by Britain's most distinguished pet owners, from Duchesses and Sultans to Paul McCartney and Elizabeth Taylor. Yet for Bruce, the allure of the rich and famous could never compete with the newly discovered thrills of his profession. Whether for commonplace ailments or the melodrama of surgery, a veritable arc of patients crossed his treatment table, from cats and dogs to alligators, pumas and even a capuchin monkey. Call the Vet is a wonderfully rich and warmly funny memoir. Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1970s London, it explores the unique bond between pets and their owners; the common thread of compassion that unites all cultures and classes, and the discovery of love and joy in unexpected places.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Fogle, Bruce.; Veterinarians; Veterinarians; Veterinarians; Human-animal relationships.; Authors, Canadian (English);
