In her latest examination of the virtues people need to cultivate for the 21st century, The Works magazine columnist M. J. Ryan shows how giving time, energy, kind words, loving gestures, and forgiveness will, in the end, matter more than any amount of money. Through heartfelt essays, Ryan encourages everyone to give from the joyous overflow of a loving heart, to consider how they are stingy, and to think about types of generosity. In a down-to-earth way, she gets to the heart of giving and what it does for the giver and the recipient.
M.J. combines a practical business perspective gained as a CEO of a publishing company with a strength-based approach to help clients reach professional and personal goals. Using methodologies from positive psychology and neuroscience, she is able to quickly identify a client's underlying thinking talents and helps them efficiently use them to overcome challenges and maximize success. She has coached many high level executives as well as entrepreneurs and individuals around the world who want lives of greater purpose and success.
Her clients include Frito Lay, Microsoft, Royal Dutch Shell, the U.S. military, Hewitt Associates, SRAK (a joint venture between Shell and the Saudi Arabian National Oil Company), the Cowell Foundation, the Boys and Girls Club, and the town of Paradise, Ca.
She is the author of many best-selling books including her latest ADAPTABILITY: How to Survive Change You Didn't Ask For and THIS YEAR I WILL...How to Finally Change a Habit, Keep a Resolution or Make A Dream Come True.
