Plays
Having written one hundred fifty-four sonnets, several long poems and thirty-nine plays (all still read, performed and studied today) it can perhaps be said that no other writer in the history of literature has shown much knowledge about the nature of people and the human condition than Shakespeare.

Shakespeare can be especially helpful to modern business leaders at every level of the business game. Throughout the book, John Whitney and Tina Packer gives us vignettes on Shakespeare’s plays and their insights on business leadership, showing us various lessons on managing ourselves and the people in our companies.

Sell Yourself Without Selling Your SoulA Woman’s Guide To Promoting Herself, Her Business, Her Product, Or Her Cause With Integrity And Spirit By Susan Harrow Quill, a Harper Resource Book, HarperCollins Publishers 2003 ISBN 0-06-019880 X 373 pages
Speaking woman-to-woman, this book is the complete guide for anyone who needs to know the
PR basics to promote her business. Susan Harrow, publicist, marketing strategist, and
consultant to big clients such as iVillage, Random House and Pacific Bell offers loads of
practical information from how to prepare professional press materials to getting nationwide
television publicity. The art of self-promotion comes from Harrow’s years of experience: from
knowing how to create a great press kit, being the message, mastering the interview, forging media relationships, to getting mileage on your own terms.
Women also prefer not to cheat along the way to their goals. They prefer to get to where they want to go with integrity and without making so many enemies. This is a book with woman-centered language, principles, and concerns based on the author’s experience working with mostly female clientele such as iVillage. There is deliberate non-use of aggressive war-like language. Such as “kill your competition” or “win the battle of words”. Women do not find that tone appealing at all. Finally, this book offers very clear examples of materials you can fashion to fit your own unique style. Your distinct voice will come through with the helpful guidance of this author’s experience.
