About Featured Book: Don’t Pick Up All the Dog Hairs: Lessons for Life and Leadership by Ronald Dwinnells MD MBA

Only $0.99 for a limited time!

Everyone wants to know what to do to be successful. But if you’re wondering what you should NOT do, here’s all you need to know!

Ron Dwinnells sought leadership skills from early on in his career, and Don’t Pick Up All the Dog Hairs is the delightful and informative culmination of that search. If you’re looking for insights into how to deal with situations and enhance your life at home and in your career, Dwinnells delivers—with advice via chapters with names like “Don’t Fly with Turkeys,” “Don’t Dress like a Warthog,” “Don’t Be a Jamoke,” and “Don’t Run Over the Cat.”

Don’t Pick Up All the Dog Hairs began serendipitously while Dwinnells was teaching public health and leadership classes at a local medical school. He advised his students what-not-to-do as a leader through entertaining stories from his own very unique background, conveying lessons he had learned from failures, adversities, mistakes, and even enemies from leadership experiences along the way.

The lecture series became so popular with students it won him accolades and several teaching awards—and pressure to write his stories down. Dr. Dwinnells, a pediatrician and certified physician executive, did just that, and we’re the beneficiaries. But don’t let the clever chapter titles fool you. Don’t Pick Up All the Dog Hairs is full of serious wisdom in chapters like “Don’t Fail to Prioritize,” “Don’t Be a Manager When You Are Supposed to Be a Leader,” and “Don’t Drain the Emotional Bank Account.” So put down the vacuum and enjoy some advice (and laughter) while learning to be your best.

Ron Dwinnells is the CEO of ONE Health Ohio, an integrated community health center program serving the medically uninsured, underinsured, and underserved populations in northeast Ohio. His clinics have served over one million patients during his 35 years at the helm.

About Featured Book: A Little Dog’s Adventures in a Big Dog’s World by Suzanne Catalano

Sale price eBook/Paperback: $.99/$6.99 Until January 31st, 2022

In this book, I begin with some introduction to the hobby and sport of Canine Detection along with some story telling of my actual experiences learning, practicing, and competing in the Canine Performance Sport, Scent/Nose Work. Through the story telling, I demonstrate how the bond, the human-canine connection, can be built using as an example the relationship I have with my dog, Winnie.

I give a little history about this new sport, the national organizations that sanction it, and a basic explanation of what is nose work. I explain about search areas called elements, and for what the dogs are searching, target odor essential oils. I also give a little information about the the competitive aspect by sharing my own trial competition experiences.

Using my personal story, I relay some background about from whom I learned, how I was taught, and then tell how I came to understand nose work by doing it Winnie’s way. I share my philosophy on nose work and hope other dog lovers and Canine Performance Sport hobbyists can come away with a helpful new perspective. I want to create within my readers a desire to learn, explore and find they can do things their own dog’s way all while experiencing the power of a bond beyond expectations.

Finally, I talk a little about Faith and the personal transformation I have experienced doing Nose Work. Through more story telling, I share what nose work means to me beyond a hobby. My readers will learn how important it is to cherish every second we have with our dogs, and how nose work can open their hearts to surrendering to the moment. The best way to appreciate all we have in life is to always look towards our dogs and cue off of them for finding target odor and the funner things in life.

Nothing can heal our souls, nothing can bring us joy and nothing can help us find our way in life better than the smiling face of a dog and her nose.

Contextualising objective setting within roles and performance, this book deconstructs both the SMART framework, objective types and drivers.

Read this book and you will never look at objective setting in the same way again. You and your team will benefit from having very real performance development conversations that will increase their performance and free you up.
