All across the globe, companies large and small are making a tremendous difference in the lives of others and, in turn, are enhancing employee performance, boosting morale, lowering turnover, and heightening brand recognition. In The Business of Changing the World, Marc Benioff and 19 other leaders share their corporate philanthropy secrets for the first time, revealing how any company can start their own program and reap enormous benefits.

This inspiring collection of testimonies brings to light the need for community giving, the challenges of implementing a philanthropic initiative, and the qualities CEOs must possess in order to make their programs a success. Most important, it highlights the tremendous rewards society and businesses stand to earn.

These are just a few of the extraordinary leaders you'll hear from:

  • Michael Dell explains how making a commitment to environmentally sustainable products isn't just the right thing to do-it makes good business sense
  • Alan Hassenfeld, the chairman of Hasbro-a pioneer of the integrated corporation-shares why he believes he owes a debt to the children of the world and how Hasbro expanded its reach beyond the playroom
  • UPS CEO Mike Eskew demonstrates how his company delivers on its legacy by adhering to a set of core values
  • Timberland president and CEO Jeffrey Swartz tells how, by integrating social justice into its business model, the company represents the apex in innovation in CSR
  • Michael Milken reveals how applying best business approaches to healthcare and education can have a positive impact on the U.S. economy

In The Business of Changing the World, these trailblazers reveal why your company can-and should-start making the world a better place.

Another great story by the talented Cheyenne Blue. To be honest, I did worry this was going to be a sapphic retelling of Crocodile Dundee, but it was far from it. Very enjoyable indeed.

Great story!
I loved this book. The storyline was so well written and different. I love how authors from other countries portray Americans and this was one of my favorites. I don't know anyone that says some of the things Hayley does outside of the 1980s or any New Yorker that is as nice as her but I loved her character. Jenna and Hayley were great together. The descriptions of the outback and life on a ranch were so vivid. If you've never read Cheyenne Blue I recommend this book and all her others.

Wonderful introduction to kink. Enjoy!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone's latest book is stand-alone and the first in a series that I expect will feature 4 stand-alone novels. Each book will probably focus on another partner in the group of owners of the sapphic kinky nightclub - Club Velvet. As is often the case with Stone's book, the plot introduces an inexperienced submissive young woman and a jaded, very experienced, dominant older woman (in this case she's only in her 30's). As often is the case, there's chemistry, the younger woman discovers her sexuality with the help of the older woman, and from one kinky session to another their feelings for each other deepen. You can call it a pattern, or a trope, a recurring theme, or whatever. However, let me point out that despite the (many) similarities, each and every one of Stone's books presents the same idea in a different light, depicting the characters with different backgrounds that offer different obstacles in the relationship. Stone doesn't fall into the cliche of an author who recreates the same story again and again. Rather, she presents us, her readers, with a recurring opportunity to learn more about the world of kink and to gain more understanding and insight into the intricacies and delicacies of a kinky relationship. While not all her stories present an introductory level of BDSM, many of them do, and by that Stone is doing the kink community a great service. She presents respect, mutual consent, attentive partners, immaculate aftercare, and overall a very attractive depiction of kinky relationships. So, this book falls into the introductory criteria and it is done very well. I have read all of Stone's previous books and I love her writing but in this book, in particular, I felt the inner monologues and the emotional hurdles were justified and created great conflicts. Those conflicts were resolved through honest and open communication, and through self-work, supported by the other MC, and that's true for each of the MCs who both had demons to deal with. I love seeing a resolution brought about by a joint effort and through open communication and this sealed the deal for me. T&T: Tropes: Age gap, workplace romance (hot for boss), ice queen, BDSM, rich girl/poor girl Triggers: sexual expolitation, plagiarism, open-door sex scenes, BDSM, parental neglect Rating: 4.5 stars.
