Bringing Out the Best in Others! By Thomas K. Connellan, PhD – Free Audiobook Summary and Review

Did you know that two-thirds of all entrepreneurs are first born. That 21 of the first 23 astronauts were first born. That 45 percent of female world leaders between 1960 and 1999 were first born. Using these three factors, business leaders increased productivity and improved profits, parents boosted their children’s grade point averages, educators improved the performances of entries classes. Include Leader’s Guide.

Comfortable, Convincing, Effective.
I like a book that grabs my attention and my curiosity right away, a book that keeps me engaged. The writing style, like sitting in on a conversation, hooked me in the first few pages. You’ll find this book to be a deceivingly quick read, though you’ll probably catch yourself a number of times-stopping, looking back over what you just read, and asking “what did he say?” Some of the lessons kind of sneak up on you.
The premise of Connellan’s approach is that three factors influence success: Expectations, Responsibility, and Feedback. He relates those factors to improving human performance-in business, in school, in family relationships, in personal development. Some improvement is measurable; some is not, but you know the improvement is there.
In 15 chapters, the reader takes a journey through Connellan’s three keys. After a couple of introductory chapters on why people fall short and how to create consistently high performance, each of the keys is explained, with how-to, by a consultant/counselor. His workshop participants listen, then put the theories to work. A chapter on each success story illustrates what can be done in a teaching mode that’s inspirational at the same time.
I like the practicality of this book. You’ll find plenty of good ideas, well-presented. The last few pages hold a surprise: a Leader’s Tool Kit to put the book’s lessons to work. While reemphasizing his three keys-confidence and expectations, accountability, and appropriate feedback, Connellan offers additional resources and suggestions.
This book will be valuable for educators, parents, coaches, and corporate executives at all level. It’s small enough so it’s not intimidating, but filled with a lot more value than you’d expect.

'Band of Brothers' actors travel to historic Toccoa camp [Video]

A group of actors from the 2001 HBO series "Band of Brothers" have come together to honor the service members they portrayed and it's all happening at a historic camp in Toccoa, Georgia.It was a place where tens of thousands of military service members trained. For the first time in 80-plus years, parachute training is back at Camp Toccoa."Everybody that's here understands the significance of this place and this site. To have that training come back here is just amazing," Board member for Camp Toccoa, Brad Retting said.They're considered a band of brothers in their own right and have come back together to honor the original "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, of the 101st Airborne Division for the 80th anniversary of D-day. All Airborne Battalion, a nonprofit organization that focuses on conducting a number of operations to honor the legacy of service members before them, has been in charge of training the actors."To bring them back to where their heroes trained and to being them back essentially they were made, the company as a whole was made is truly the power behind this project," All Airborne Battalion president, Darren Cinatl said. For the actors themselves, many said it was surreal."To still be talking about it 24 years later in the actual place where these guys trained, the original airborne, its quite emotional," Mark Lawrence who played Cpl. William H. Dukeman Jr said.The men of Easy Company created a bond so strong that it has transcended time and people. So that bond they created during the Second World War still exists with us," Douglas Spain, who played Technician Fifth Grade Antonio C. Garcia said. The actors fully immersed themselves in the experience from the training, to living in the barracks, to enjoying a MRE.All preparing to do just like the men they portrayed did and parachute into Normandy."It just means so much to me. What these guys did for us, the greatest generation and to be here where they started out, where they became a band of brothers it's overwhelming," Lawrence said."The fact that he made a decision to 82 years ago has affected my life today. Because of him I am here. It's just tremendous and it's like I love Tony Garcia," Spain said."To just kind of follow in his footsteps, just a tiny piece it's one of the greatest things I have ever done," Lawrence said.There will be a documentary of the cast's trip from Toccoa to Normandy.
