Paula Marshall, CEO of Tulsa's Bama Cos. Inc., shares some of her secrets for success in her new book, "Finding the Soul of Big Business: One Company's Ego Elimination Strategy."
Marshall will be at Steve's Sundry, Books and Magazines, 2612 S. Harvard Ave., from 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 24 to sign copies of her self-published book.
Marshall wrote the book to combat the idea that business must be seen "in terms of winners and losers."
"This book is an amalgamation of every lesson and every distinction I have learned and have applied to my intention as a CEO," Marshall writes. "A leader provides opportunities for participants to excel through encouragement, rather than discouragement in a culture that values more than just financial gains. At Bama we know that heart, energy and spirit need to be nurtured."
Lisa Jones
was simply looking for a subject for a magazine article when she went to Wyoming in 2002 to interview a man named Stanford Addison. What she found was a unique individual, an Arapaho Indian who was living a life of hedonism when an automobile accident robbed him of the ability to walk.
But it gave him other, more unusual abilities: to tame horses through the gentlest of means, rather than by brute force; to heal animals and humans.
Jones chronicles Addison's life, and her own journey of discovery, in "Broken" (Simon & Schuster, $25). Jones will be in Tulsa beginning at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, to read from and sign copies of her book at Barnes & Noble,
5231 E. 41st St.
Cheryl Forrest
and Georgia Snoke
, both former dancers with Tulsa Ballet and now members of the dance company's board, will be featured Tuesday as part of the Lunch Box Series, sponsored by the Broken Arrow Arts and Humanities Council.
The two women will be talking about and signing copies of their book, "Roman Jasinski: A Gypsy Prince from the Ballet Russe," about the legendary dancer who founded Tulsa Ballet with his wife, Moscelyne Larkin, after the couple retired to Tulsa in the early 1950s.
The event will be at noon at the South Broken Arrow Library, 3600 S. Chestnut Ave. (near the corner of 145th East Avenue & 101st Street).
Jena Pendergrass
will be signing copies of her self-published children's book, "God's Love," at 11 a.m. Oct. 24, at A Place of Grace, 321 W. Will Rogers Blvd., in Claremore.
