When Brett Lockwood receives a not-too-positive medical report, he gives up his New York law practice to return to his ancestral home in Maine. Unfortunately, the summer residence he used to frequent as a boy was also his evil grandfather's gothic-like mansion that was full of bad vibes and desperately in need of renovation. With encouragement from the local townspeople, he deals with his haunted past and the disappearance of his father that occurred years ago. When he encounters the beautiful, aloof Avery Keene, he feels drawn to her, and their relationship becomes a challenge. She owns a successful art gallery in the small town.

This book is a "drop-in" helpful guide for those new to leadership or moving to a different or more senior leadership role. This is a "for your eyes only" guide, providing ideas for managing the challenges of leadership and hopefully helping to avoid some of the pitfalls. It's a concise and no-nonsense go-to source of support with real-life examples to help guide the reader toward possible solutions. Leadership in an international setting is, without doubt, a different, demanding cultural and international intelligence. These different expectations demand different approaches, and there is certainly no right way to deal with every situation. We learn by taking risks, making mistakes, and caring for others particularly in challenging situations. Dip in and out. We hope you find it useful!

My experience goes from how I started dancing to what made me hang up my stilettos for good.I also talk about my daughter's experience as a dancer a few years after I quit, and you will see that things have not improved. I think it is time to expose this to the rest of the world so people will quit blaming the dancers for their choice of career and make them human again.
