    Another of her books we discuss is Growing Up Social: Raising Relational Kids in a Screen-Driven World, a book she co-wrote with New York Times bestselling author Dr. Gary Chapman.
    More recently, Arlene released Parents Rising: 8 Strategies for Raising Kids Who Love God, Respect Authority, and Value What’s Right.

  • 231: How to Go From Overwhelmed to Highly Efficient and Reclaim Your Life with Kris Ward
    Today’s guest knows how to get attention. In a good way, of course.
    She reached out to me recently with her compelling story that included a personalized video she created.

    Kris shared with me that she was inspired to write the book when the cards life had dealt forced her team to move forward without her leadership for a time.
    The resulting book is called Win the Hour, Win the Day: Time Management for Small Business.
    In it, Kris hopes to help teach you how to accelerate your business beyond your wildest dreams while reclaiming time for yourself.
    Time management, she says, isn’t about going faster or being in a constant state of high activity. It’s not about being busy; it’s about being productive. Amen!

    * Some of the key differences between Successful People and what she calls “Strugglers”
    * How to avoid Shiny Object Syndrome when considering new tools
    * …and plenty more!
