Pasaporte is designed for advanced or high beginners who need a refresher course before enrolling in second-year Spanish. This course presents many challenges for instructors. The rapid treatment of so much content and linguistic structures leaves little opportunity to practice, recycle, and synthesize basic grammar and vocabulary in a cultural context. The scope and sequence of Pasaporte, considers what intermediate students should be able to do when entering second-year Spanish. With these goals in mind, the communicative functions of Pasaporte are uniquely presented in the context of a “Global Opportunities Fair.” While preparing for second-year Spanish, Pasaporte encourages to use Spanish to discuss real-life opportunities such as study abroad, internships, cultural exchanges, and volunteer work.

LOOSELEAF FOR PASAPORTE: SPANISH FOR ADVANCED BEGINNERS

The power of resilience within organizations and can transform an average company into a powerhouse. Yet, even in times of rapid disruptive change, there is no manual for building resilient organizations. This book is that manual.Resilience, left to individuals, will only ever be built by people in the moments that require them to dig deep and find it. The real power in building resilience before we need it, lies in what we can accomplish when our organizations become resilient. This book presents a simple framework for leaders and organizations to prepare for sustainable results in the face of rapid, disruption.The power for organizations lies in the act of methodically and collaboratively building a collective resilience framework to increase their ability to thrive in the face of complex challenges for which the answer, and often even the definition of the problem itself, may not be obvious. These challenges frequently require both the organization and the leaders within them to make trade-offs in values and loyalties. Often, an individual's resilience will 'get them through' such changes, but a more effective approach is to build organizational resilience before we need it. Building resilience involves intentional preparation to increase our ability to emerge from challenges better equipped to deal with them than we were in the past--a transformation into a stronger self. For organizations in an environment of rapid, disruptive change, there is often no 'back' to bounce to after disruption, because by the time they right themselves things have changed. This book presents a simple framework that can be applied to both individuals and organizations. It's proven and it works.Written in our 'pull no punches' style, Resilience: It's Not About Bouncing Back begins by explaining the case for resilience, how building it is not only possible, but imperative for creating successful leaders and organizations in today's rapidly changing world. The book goes on to present the our proven, proprietary LeaderShift Resilience Framework drawing on real examples and pointed exercises to deliver a down-to-earth strategy for building resilient leaders and companies. Connecting the dots between Resilience and ground-breaking work on Adaptive Leadership from Harvard's Ron Heifetz and others, we've intertwined our own wisdom gleaned from years spent tackling these issues with leaders across the globe. The result is a candid, insightful and easily absorbed template that helps organizations banish 'change fatigue' once and for all and instead be energized and elevated by disruption - one leader at a time.Spanning a combined five decades of corporate leadership positions and consulting work focused on organization restructuring and leadership development, Cynthia Barlow and Jennifer Eggers have seen thousands of organizations struggle in the face of change. They have seen it all ¬- the good and the bad - and believe that resilience is the key ingredient to building healthy, thriving leaders and organizations. Cynthia runs C3 Conversations, Inc., a boutique consulting firm out of Toronto, coaching leaders and delivering life-changing personal-growth programs for over 30 years. Jennifer runs LeaderShift Insights, a firm focused on building adaptive leadership and alignment at some of the most recognized brands in the world. She founded her firm after serving in several leadership roles for Fortune 50 companies.

How do you handle yourself while caring for a dying friend or loved one? Can you see past your own pain to the lighter inspirations that are there... if you only pay attention? Author Cynthia Barlow explores the nature of life, love, loss and letting go, inspired by the passing of a friend taken by cancer. Four Fridays is full of gripping moments, laugh-out-loud reflections, and sassy insights as Barlow chronicles her friend's parting days and her own perceptions on finding purpose within pain. Bold and insightful, tender and lighthearted, Four Fridays will take you through the small delights and big decisions, the painful boundaries and celebratory bowel movements, the great purge and the final goodbyes on the road to peace. An uplifting story that honors the four Fridays Cynthia spent with her friend and all the precious moments in between, Four Fridays will leave you feeling more invigorated about life itself-and more grateful for it. "I read Four Fridays through tears of wonder-it is an unforgettable journey of illumination. You could not ask for a more astute witness to life and death than Cynthia Barlow." -Terri Cheney, author of New York Times bestseller Manic: A Memoir "Four Fridays is beautiful and elegantly written. A memoir of deep friendship, loss and love. A must read for every woman rising above their circumstances."&#8233; -Stephanie Thornton Plymale, bestselling author, American Daughter "A powerful read. I found myself laughing, crying, and flipping pages as fast as I could. This is a moving and compelling read. I highly recommend this book."&#8233; -Maureen Fisher, author, Fur Ball Fever "Anyone who has had a friend or lost a friend, anyone who's wondered about the mysteries of life or wrestled with the finality of death, will be taken in by this poignant, unexpectedly funny and soul stirring memoir."&#8233; -Karen M. Black, author of Back to the Water "A beautifully written book. You can truly hear the author's voice-in each word, sentence, paragraph, through each chapter-and you can feel her emotions, see her struggles and watch her rise above as she ignites all her reader's senses. &#8233;What a gift! I didn't want to put this book down."&#8233; -Michelle Valberg, Nikon Ambassador Canada, Canadian Geographic Photographer-in-Residence "Four Fridays is a vividly touching account of love and loss, hope and fear, and ultimately, of growth. Cynthia's shameless honesty, clever humour and profound humanity propels the reader through their own journey of self-discovery. An absolute gem!"&#8233; -John Larsen, EVP Edelman, National Practice Lead, Crisis & Risk "I'm clear that we'll all wind up dead one day. What I don't want is for anyone I care about to go there alone. This book has me realizing that I could actually develop the courage, caring and sense of humor to be present with someone who is slipping away, and perhaps thereby increase the odds that others will be there for me as well." -Dan Haygeman, International Effectiveness Coach "An inspiring reflection of true friendship and a powerful reminder to pay attention to the time you have with those you love. In today's restless society, Four Fridays provides a stark reminder to relish the moment and not take the small things for granted. An amazing book!" -Louis Goldberg, President, VolitionU
