Portraits as Childfree Wealth by Jay Zigmont, PhD, CFP®
About Featured Book: Portraits as Childfree Wealth: 26 stories about how being Childfree impacts your life, wealth, and finances by Jay Zigmont, PhD, CFP®
Have you ever wondered what people without children do with all their free time and money? Do you assume that they must have a lot of both? The truth is more complex than that! Childfree people come from as many different backgrounds and life circumstances as people with children do. Some are partnered, and some are not. Some are well-educated, some aren’t. Some are independently wealthy, and some are just scraping by. Dr. Zigmont’s “Portraits of Childfree Wealth” is a collection of 26 vignettes based on interviews with Childfree people. He adds his own significant insights, as both a fellow Childfree professional and a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™. This book is an eye-opening look at the lives of people in the United States who deliberately chose not to become parents, and if you’re in the same boat, you’ll find a lot to relate to here. If you have children, you’ll learn how the other half lives. And if you’re a finance professional, you’ll see how money still plays a role for people who don’t have to worry about leaving assets to their children.
In Portraits of Childfree Wealth, Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, interviews 26 individuals and couples to understand their lives. Each portrait provides a different perspective on Childfree Wealth from a diverse population across the US. There are stories from people who are barely making ends meet and others who have achieved FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) or FILE (Financial Independence, Live Early). Being Childfree does not automatically make people rich, as we still suffer from income disparities. The difference is that if a Childfree person is barely making ends meet now, they would have drowned if they had a child.
Some key findings:
• The reasons for being Childfree are as varied as the people themselves.
• There are very few or no regrets from people being Childfree.
• Being Childfree does not automatically make you rich.
• There is a relationship between growing up in poverty and poor and being Childfree.
• Childfree Financial Independence is simple: 1. Get out of debt 2. Max out retirement plans.

Have you recently been appointed to your first leadership role or are you in a position mentoring developing leaders? Are you an aspiring exceptional millennial leader who wants to change the status quo and build a different future for other millennials?
In either case, this book is for you!
Your first leadership role is an exciting step, but can simultaneously be a daunting endeavour filled with anxiety. You have most likely excelled in your previous role, but quickly discover leadership is a whole new ball game!
Successful leadership is less about the knowledge and skills you have acquired in your specific domain, and much more about relating well with others, navigating complex interpersonal situations, and bringing out the best in your team.
In his ground-breaking new book, You’re A Leader, Now What?, Mick Spiers equips readers with practical leadership skills never taught in school and rarely developed in early careers. If you are looking to become a leader people naturally gravitate towards that inspires purpose-driven action in your teams, Spiers lays out a compelling blueprint to follow!
In this book, you will find:
• How to challenge the status quo of leadership;
• How to inspire people into action because they want to do it, not because they were told to;
• Ways to increase your emotional intelligence;
• How to draw the best out of people;
• Tips on becoming the leader of millennials;
• How to lead with purpose and meaning;
• Tips on practicing daily self-reflection
Being a leader is about inspiring people into action; it is not the same as being the boss or being a manager who tells people what to do
This book is designed for the next generation of leaders. The target audience are people that have been exceptional individual contributors and have recently transitioned into their very first leadership role. They have been successful and standouts in their chosen domain but have found the transition to leadership to be far more difficult than they ever expected. They soon discover that human beings are far more complex than they had ever considered.
Success in their chosen domain usually came from mastering knowledge and skills in that field. Success as a leader requires mastering how they interact with and relate to other people.
What is stopping you from reaching your career goals now and standing out from the crowd?

SMART Objective Setting for Managers by Irial O'Farrell
Looking to make sense of objective setting, strategic goals, employee development, team competency and SMART? Then SMART Objective Setting for Managers is the book for you.
Written by a manager for a manager, this book makes sense of the objective setting process and how it links to both job descriptions and business objectives. It also deconstructs the SMART framework and how to use it effectively with another person.
Along with all that, you’ll understand the different types of objectives, determining objective drivers, and get an insight into both the employee’s and the manager’s mindsets. To finish off, you’ll be guided through both the preparing for and conducting an objective setting meeting.
