Jeanette Davis Norris was born in Miami, Florida in 1954. She moved to Louisville, Kentucky in 2006. She was inspired to write this book about her parents before her mother passed in 2021. She reinvented the actions that occurred that day by going to the beach on Labor Day. Which was the same exact month and day, September 6, sixty-seven years ago. Her mom was nine months pregnant with Jeanette. They went to the beach that day and had a wonderful time. When they returned, her mom lay across the bed to take a nap, but instead her water broke and was rushed to the hospital. Jeanette was born the following morning. September 7, 1954, on a Monday, Labor Day. Jeanette went to the beach. The next day, on her birthday, she came to the hospital to celebrate her birthday with her mom, not knowing this was going to be her last day with her. She decorated the hospital room with balloons, posters, and party favors. Jeanette remembers that day being an awesome day. She and her husband, Derrick, sang "Happy Birthday" and prayed. They had cake and her mom was there with her, opening her eyes, as if to let Jeanette know she was celebrating with her. This was a day Jeanette will never forget, the best birthday party she has ever had.

"Cuando el Diablo llegó a mi calle" retrata la manera en que los habitantes de una ciudad latinoamericana, interactúan y se interrelacionan, en un territorio donde las creencias místicas, la cercanía y la violencia forman parte de sus patrones conductuales, afectando destructivamente, no solo a las mujeres, a la niñez y a los menos fuertes, sino también a la infraestructura de la ciudad. Destaca la sofocante realidad de una ciudad tercermundista, donde la aparente diferencia de clases socioeconómicas no impide que se cierre una cadena de realidades que los abarca a todos de una u otra manera, incluyendo la realidad de la migración como la "gran alternativa" para escapar de ese ambiente virulento. Damaris, una mujer que lava ropa ajena para sobrevivir, y Gerardo, un dentista, junto a su esposa, una perspicaz secretaria, son los protagonistas de este drama que se desarrolla en una espacio de tierra muy pequeño y muy poblado, denominado Sivarnia; que abarca desde principios del siglo XX hasta finales del año 2012, desde la tierra sivarnesa hasta "La Tierra de las Ilusiones"; envolviendo al lector en un vorágine de hechos humanos y misterios que lo empujarán a llegar hasta el final para poder descifrarlos.

In the past few years, the workplace has changed more rapidly than at any other time in history. Unfortunately, the internal workings of organizations, including how we lead people, have not broadly changed in response. In 2021, 47 million people left their jobs. This is forcing leaders to rethink their approaches to leading people. While the pandemic provided heightened awareness about the state of work, we have been barreling toward a shift for some time now. In some workplaces, as many as five generations work together. Millennials represent the largest adult generation; by 2025, they will make up 75% of the workforce. And what was once only concern about the widening leadership gap has morphed into something more regrettable. Repeated scandals have rocked the global economy over the past two decades crushing consumer confidence and destroying employee trust. Leader-First Leaders think differently. They desire to build enduring organizations that transcend market disruptions, competition, and existential crises. Looking first to themselves, they understand that their actions or inactions shape every part of the organization, starting with the success of their team members. By cultivating the Leader Touchstones, Leader-First Leaders nurture relationships with all the organization's stakeholders. They courageously challenge the status quo by relinquishing short-term, unsustainable results and, instead, put in the work to build healthy organizations that thrive long after they're gone. If this is you, you are a leader that plays the long game. I wrote this book for you. 9 Leader Touchstones takes you on the journey to becoming a Leader-First Leader. It will be some of the most challenging work you do during your leadership trek. But know that the journey will be rewarding. Along the way, you will expand your thinking on what it means to truly lead people well. And your commitment to the process will unleash your team's unique potential to build a dynamic, enduring organization.
