Book 101 Review

The Visibility Factor: Break Through Your Fears, Stand In Your Own Power And Become The Authentic Leader You Were Meant To Be 

For decades, people have believed that working hard is enough to get them promoted. The truth is that leaders need to create personal visibility for themselves and their teams.

This was the situation in which Susan M. Barber found herself. A pivotal feedback conversation with a mentor was the catalyst that changed everything. She had to shift her long-held belief that working hard was sufficient for career success and finding a new way. She was on a path of discovery to learn what visibility meant in general, but more specifically how she could create it in an authentic way for herself. Barber created a process that helped her build visibility for herself and her team. Now, as a coach, she uses that same process to help her clients unlock their potential and achieve success when they are unable to see how they are hiding from their own visibility. She has broken down this process into easy-to-follow steps. 

The truth is, you need the kind of visibility that allows people to see your value and is authentic to who you are. The Visibility Factor is your guide to shaping the visibility you want for yourself and your career.

Dead Man's Pacemaker (A Dr. Arman Pirouzi Persian Mission Novel)

The stakes are WAR when a zealous general spares nothing in his path, until reluctant Dr. Arman Pirouzi returns to Iran after the murder of his niece. 

“Filled with intrigue and shocking twists, it’s a must-read for anyone who loves political thrillers with real-world relevance.” —Jennifer Eaton, USA TODAY Bestselling Author

Dr. Arman Pirouzi left Iran behind for a better life in the United States until he is reluctantly recruited by the CIA and returns to Tehran, where the ruthless IRGC hunts, tortures, and routinely kills spies and traitors with brutal efficiency. His mission: locate a critical asset, extract classified intelligence, and stop a war before it starts. His challenge: survive the most dangerous city in the world, where old friends become enemies, past loves are rekindled, and death waits around any corner. Capture means torture. Failure means catastrophe. But the greatest danger of all? Trusting the wrong person. Dead Man’s Pacemaker is a high-stakes political thriller in the tradition of The Night Manager and The Tehran Initiative—a heart-pounding race against time where anyone can be your enemy.
