From the Inside Flap
What the world needs is more showoffs—at work AND in life. If you're not being your best, reaching your potential, and showing off, why show up at all?
The way Joe Calloway defines it, showing off is about bringing the best you have to any situation. It's about excellence and exceeding expectations. Showing off is about the joy, jazz, and kick of being better tomorrow than you were today. It's about creating real fulfillment in your life and in the lives of those around you. Showing off is a mindset that leads to success and satisfaction, and Work Like You're Showing Off is a practical guide to creating and maintaining that mindset.
After twenty-six years of studying and working with top performers, Calloway shares the key factors for creating success without pulling any punches. Work Like You're Showing Off advises you to stop talking and start doing. Be focused, productive, and above all else, intentional in your pursuit of happiness. Showoffs go "all in" and call everyone else's bluff with the confidence that their capability and productivity will speak for itself.
No matter what you do or where you are on the career ladder, Work Like You're Showing Off gives you the inspiration and tools to attain higher levels of productivity and satisfaction. Inside, you'll learn key success factors, including the power of consistent performance, letting go of past assumptions, embracing responsibility, and expecting to connect, among others. Once you commit to these factors and stick to them, you'll become more energetic, more dedicated, more competent, and ultimately, more successful.
Showing off is about creating joy and success for yourself through giving to others. This unique and enlightening guide will help you open the door to professional success—and improve every aspect of your life in the process.
