October 27, 2010I Can Hear the Applause: Progress ReportDid you see the cover of the new book! If you got here through the home page of www.jeannegulbranson.com , it’s probably a safe bet that you noticed it. If not—travel on over to the Home Page and to the New Releases/Applause page where there’s more about I Can Hear the Applause. We still expect it to be out on Amazon the first part of December. The brick and mortar bookstores will EVENTUALLY get Applause on their shelves—but if your name isn’t Palin or Rowling, the distributors don’t get in a hurry to update their catalogs. Oh well…we’ll certainly know where to find it! October 17, 2010The New Book is Finished!Coming soon–well, not immediately–but possibly on Amazon the first of December! “I Can Hear the Applause: Adult Language…Some Nudity” is now in the painful stage–proofing. Lisa and I are thrilled with the book cover–the designers really came through with that! We’re already getting many questions on when, and how to get the Applause. You can believe me when I tell you–you’ll know it’s out there as soon as we do! Jeanne August 21, 2010A New Book! A New Look!I’ve been quiet for awhile, but not sleeping! What do you think about the latest project and the upcoming book? Is there anything special that you’d like to read in there? Let me know…and I’ll tell you if you’ll find it…or maybe, I’ll make sure it gets in there, if I’ve missed it! Jeanne

May 28, 2009Both Books Have Won an Award!What an exciting day! I’ve just been notified that both Be the Horse or the Jockey and Pink Leadership have received Finalists awards in the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards. They were both in the Career category, which I thought might work against their chances of getting an award–competing against myself! Instead, the books took two of the seven awards! I’ve included the press release here–just in case you want to read more about this–like I do! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Be the Horse or the Jockey and Pink Leadership are 2009 Next Generation Book Award Finalists We are pleased to announce that both of author Jeanne Gulbranson’s books, Be the Horse or the Jockey: 110 Tips and Techniques for Followers…and Leaders (BookSurge) and Pink Leadership: 15 Life Lessons for Female Leaders (BookSurge) are award-winning Finalists in the Career category of the 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards®. The 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards® was established to recognize and honor the most exceptional independently published books. The awards are presented by Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group (IBPPG), an organization that promotes professional standards in independent book publishing. Members of IBPPG include small and university presses, self-published authors, agents, designers, distributors, printers, and marketing professionals. Be the Horse or the Jockey addresses the often overlooked role of followers and provides both the rationale and inspiration to achieve greatness through the development and refinement of professional followership skills. Using the metaphor of a professional horse race, Gulbranson provides an innovative four-step Followership Process that serves as the framework for the 110 tips and techniques that take the uncertainty out of the next steps for both followers and leaders. Be the Horse or the Jockey has received the attention and endorsement of professionals in the field of leadership and followership development including Ira Chaleff, noted author and leadership expert. Chaleff has written that “…Gulbranson has the eye of an artist. What others see and pass by, she stops and plumbs for meaning until the light bulb flashes and she has extracted new insight to use in her life and to share in entertaining ways with her readers. You will learn much about leaders and followers from this book that you can apply just about anywhere you interact with your fellow human beings. And you will play both roles better from here on out.” Pink Leadership offers uncommon insight about why more women have not yet assumed more leadership positions and moves swiftly to the practical techniques for overcoming real or perceived barriers to these positions. Both books are written in the personal voice and story-telling style that has become Gulbranson’s trademark. Jeanne Gulbranson has 20 years of international experience in leadership development, business strategy, professional management, and leading transformational change. She is currently a Strategist for CIBER, Inc., an 8,000 employee consulting firm. Additional information about both of the award-winning books is found on the author’s website: www.jeannegulbranson.com. Both books are available for purchase at www.amazon.com. Contact Jeanne Gulbranson at (702) 283-6235 or jgulbranson3@cox.net for additional information. March 24, 2009Recent Review of Horse or Jockey by Ira ChaleffI just received this review of Be the Horse or the Jockey from Ira Chaleff who is the author of The Courageous Follower (excellent book!), and the President of Executive Coaching & Consulting. He wrote: Jeanne Gulbranson has done a marvelous job adding to the small, but steadily growing literature on followership. She takes the reader through a serious and digestible review of the existing literature, and presents her own synthesis that complements and adds value to these pioneering works. Gulbranson has the eye of an artist. What others see and pass by, she stops and plumbs for meaning until the light bulb flashes and she has extracted new insight to use in her life and to share in entertaining ways with her readers. You will learn much about leaders and followers from this book that you can apply just about anywhere you interact with your fellow human beings. And you will play both roles better from here on out. Ira Chaleff: Author, The Courageous Follower: Standing Up To and For Our Leaders Co-Editor, The Art of Followership: How Great Followers are Creating Great Leaders and Organizations. I’m so pleased that he found such value in Horse or Jockey. I’d like to hear from you too!
