A Renewable Success Strategy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Coffee at Luna's paints a vivid picture of our high speed society and A types trying to make a difference. It touched a little to close to home for me and was a thought provoking reminder of the importance of balance in our lives. I particularly liked the renewable aspect to the strategy presented. Stop, look, listen, execute and then teach! So often, we are presented a plan for success in our lives and careers but it fails to include that key renewable component. The power of recognition and the simple thank you can not be overstated. This fable makes that abundantly clear.

Because we have all traveled down both the right and wrong paths in our relationships (both business and personal).

A self-help guide written in a unique modern parable style
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
NFI Research Chairman and CEO Chuck Martin presents Coffee at Luna's: A Business Fable, a self-help guide written in a unique modern parable style. It offers very simple secrets to self-improvement and happiness in one's work life: learning to stop and take a measured assessment of what is going on, observing and listening for information that will help one make decisions, and apply that knowledge to change things for the better. The narrative style follows an ordinary manager who is working as hard as he can to keep his business branch solvent - but the harder he works, and the more hours he sinks into the job, the more remote his financial goals seem. Company morale is in defeat, what is he to do? Meeting with a wise teacher, he accepts the wisdom of learning to disconnect from the pressure of the grind and look around at what is truly going on. An entertaining, enjoyable, and valuable self-help guide offering keen insight to properly balancing work-related responsibilities and relationships for greater happiness both at business and in one's personal life.
