She has a magic ability to create what others can’t, mixing fossicked treasures with equal parts vision and love. Through fashion, Faye builds aspiration and a sense of community. She sees the beauty in discarded items and gives them and their wearers a “Cinderella” moment: inspired by Chanel, Gucci, and Gaultier. Most of all, Faye has the kind of energy you just want to be around. Warm, inspiring, generous, and infectiously up-beat. Faye’s wisdom, styling knowledge and optimism are exactly what the world needs right now. Your wardrobe, eco-footprint and wallet will thank you.’ - Katrina Blowers, Television Newsreader, Award-Winning Journalist, Podcaster and Author\n‘Faye is a true professional and creative mastermind. She’s at the forefront of the fashion industry and a leader in sustainable, eco and recycled clothing. Her creativity is second to none. What she brings to life for our television segments always inspires and excites. Faye is a self-starter and essentially produces herself which is rare to come across. We can always rely on Faye to deliver... and with that... she always brings a smile, calmness and a beautiful demeanour that is infectious to be around.’ - Sarah Mason, Senior Producer, Entertainment STUDIO 10\n‘Faye is the Queen of transformations, helping women look and feel fabulous, with a clean conscience and without spending a fortune—bonus! Her creative and innovative ideas using belts, scarves and brooches shows us how easy and achievable it is to turn one look into hundreds. Faye’s likeability is the cherry on top, making her exceptional TV talent and a pleasure to work with. This is the book we all need to embrace second hand fashion, elevate our wardrobes, and discover our own unique sense of style.’ - Britt Cohen, Reporter, Today Show, Australia

Fanny whistle, passing gas, toot, whatever you want to call it, everyone does it, and it's nothing to be embarrassed about What's important to remember are your manners, or your "tooting etiquette," when dealing with this troublesome bum problem. Everybody Toots is a cute and silly book aimed at teaching children manners, along with why we all pass wind. It's written in a style that is fun and entertaining with illustrations that will surely make them chuckle, all while they're learning how to be polite when it comes to dealing with those pesky tushy ticklers. About the Authors Everybody Toots was laughed up by 4-year old Drew who, like most boys, was (and still is) obsessed with his gassy behind. He dreamed up "The Toot Man" while working with his mom, Kelly, to come up with the concept of this book for kids everywhere. Our amazing illustrator, Mike Borromeo, has made our visions come to life, and made us laugh the whole way through the development of this book. For Drew, toots never get old and we can only hope there comes a day when he will remember his manners when passing gas

New York Times Bestseller Uplifting Service: The Proven Path to Delighting Your Customers, Colleagues, and Everyone Else You Meet We are deep in a service crisis. In the operating room, surgeons and their teams communicate in a very precise language; airplane pilots follow a strict protocol to take off and land safely every time; and, when launching a new product, companies lay out a plan that all employees follow. But when it comes to building a strong service culture, the path to success is usually much less clear. We relegate service to a single department guided by anecdotal wisdom and less-than-helpful clichés like “the customer is always right.” With global economies transforming at record speed, we are largely unprepared for the service demands we face day and night from around the world. We promise our customers satisfaction and then allow internal politics and inefficient methods to frustrate our ability to deliver. With service so much a part of our daily lives, both in and outside the workplace, why aren’t we doing it better? New York Times bestselling author Ron Kaufman knows the answer to this question, and not only believes we can do it better, but shows us how. In Uplifting Service he takes you on a journey into a new world of service that is guided by fundamental principles and actionable models. After more than two decades helping leaders transform their service cultures, Kaufman has discovered that while each successful team is different, the architecture they apply to build an uplifting service culture is the same. In this New York Times, USA Today, and Amazon.com bestselling book, Kaufman lays out the steps you can take to build a sustainable culture that delivers outstanding service every day. He offers the tools and practices that have been proven effective in businesses, governments, communities, and homes; on every continent; and in many languages. Through perspective-changing insights and case studies, you will learn how the world’s best performing companies have changed the game through service—and how you too can follow this proven path to an uplifting transformation.

Business Culture

It is hard to believe that such an iconic brand as Barefoot Wines began as a start-up in a laundry room of a rented farmhouse in the Sonoma County hills. Even more surprising is that the people who started it were just an average business couple, Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey, with no money and no real knowledge about the wine industry. - The part that isn't a surprise is that, because of their lack of experience, and because the wine business is one massively complicated industry, they ran into difficulties and setbacks that regularly put the brand near death in the first two decades. What kept it going was an unshakable belief in Barefoot's potential, Michael's and Bonnie's use of universal business principles, and their never-say-die outlook despite facing one seemingly insurmountable hurdle after another. Those hardships, that hustle, and their heart, are the essence of the Barefoot Spirit. - For years, Michael and Bonnie, the Barefoot Wine founders, have been asked to write a book about how this brand got started and became a best seller. "The Barefoot Spirit," the New York Times Bestselling Business Paperback, traces that history and tells the story of how an unknown novelty wine became an American icon. It chronicles the unlikely events that made it possible, and it lays out the cornerstone business and lifestyle philosophies that made it, ultimately, an enduring success. By the time they sold the brand to E&amp;J Gallo in 2005, they'd won a ton of awards and helped transform an entire industry from stuffy and intimidating to fun, casual, and socially aware. -The Barefoot Spirit is not a dry business text. The lessons are cheerfully woven into a twenty-year business adventure story that's inspiring, amazing, and entertaining. It's a case study, an idea book, an uncommon peek behind the curtain of the wine business, and a snapshot of the American spirit, West Coast style.-The book was written by award-winning journalist Rick Kushman after hundreds of hours of research and interviews with Michael, Bonnie, and many others. - This book is a testament to the American Entrepreneurial Spirit of resourcefulness, imagination, innovation, and out-of-the-box thinking. -The Barefoot Spirit is an inspirational guidebook for anyone in business and a great read for everyone who loves a rags-to-riches story. Filled with encouragement, inspiration, and empowerment, including: * How Michael and Bonnie used Worthy Cause Marketing instead of traditional advertising* How they used boot-strapping instead of conventional financing * The surprising advantages of being small and broke* How creating a fun, yet hardworking positive company culture encourages innovative leadership * How making mistakes the right way builds your business and saves essential relationships* Why attitude and determination trumps knowledge and experience-If you like wine, the wine country, or a story about how a plucky little winery transformed an industry, if you want to know what it takes to really succeed in the face of adversity, if you want to know how to use your core beliefs to build a national brand, then "The Barefoot Spirit" is for you.
