Why is getting fired such a taboo topic? Whether you are losing your job due to redundancy, being considered unfit for the job, or a host of other reasons, getting fired can be a hugely traumatic event in one's life. We don't openly talk about being fired, because it's not something that people want to advertise about themselves. So when it happens to you, it's easy to feel like you're in a club by yourself. The Art of Getting Fired aims to coach people through the entire process of being fired, drawing on my extensive experience across the globe during which I have been fired, seen countless others get fired, and fired people myself. I outline the process employers go through when firing somebody and the reasons behind it, strategies to avoid being fired once you find yourself at risk, and what to do immediately after you've been fired. Plus, I help you process the various range of emotions and feelings you might experience, the practical aspects of what to put on your résumé, and how to approach a job interview. This book is for anyone who has ever been fired or suspects they might be fired, or managers who have to fire others. So let's talk about getting fired so that we can move forward from it and thrive!

Me: "I am going to start a book."Number 4 Child (seven years old): "Oh, please don't.

A story of tumbling and turning yourself inside out to get answers buried deep within. Of growing up in a large, lively, and loving family with the dark companion of sexual abuse. This journey pulls apart the deep and complex puzzle of sexual abuse and the ripples of pain that then occurs. However, it also presents a beautiful example of how intoxicating and emancipating it can be when we give ourselves permission, time to grieve, and absorb and love who we have become. How a four-year-old girl manages to adapt her mind and imagination to ensure mental and emotional survival and then, when ready, as a forty-eight-year-old woman, is reunited with her child self in poignant and beautiful spellbinding moments. Childfulness demonstrates how challenging the subject of sexual abuse is in families and society. How knowing what to do is almost impossible for everyone concerned.

This book is about freedom and the right to have an opinion. A concept that has been fought over for centuries.

How much do I desire to fit into the current trend of "progressive" thought and "woke" ideas which are fast becoming societal norms? How far am I willing to go to accept the current trends of collectivism, conformity, hypocrisy and cancel culture?The Purpose of You Can't Say That! is to encourage discussion and debate in the current stifling politically correct environment, as well as providing a platform for those fighting to gain back their basic rights for freedom of speech.If you are tired of the opinions of elitist bullies telling you what you must say and think, taking over all debates in the mainstream media and within our institutions, then you can read this book and feel empowered that you in fact CAN say that.

A shock of fear runs through the mind! There is no way you can ask someone to help look for him, as he would likely not respond to his name. Matthew would also not understand what he'd done, nor the danger in which he'd put himself.Have you ever been in a room full of people - yet felt completely alone? That is often how I felt when in a public place, with my son. Without warning, Matthew would do something completely bizarre or behave in a typically autistic manner; instantly feeling completely alone and isolated, while being surrounded by other people, who simply had no idea, let alone any understanding, of what had just occurred.No book will write itself! So, despite my ongoing depression and writer's block, over those earlier years, I somehow found the emotional strength, to continue with my journal writing; maintaining a regular diary of Matthew's unusual behaviours and autistic meltdowns. Documenting many of his wonderful achievements and continued progress over the following years - the teenage years.
