She was left alone with a new house that needed a lot of work, a new baby who needed a lot of attention, and a new job in the high-pressure world of New York magazine publishing.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.fsbassociates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/rock_bottom_covsm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-567" src="http://www.fsbassociates.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/rock_bottom_covsm.jpg" alt="" width="66" height="100" /></a>From <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author and internationally renowned environmental and consumer advocate Erin Brockovich, comes <em>Rock Bottom, </em>a debut thriller and first in a series of novels that introduces one of the most fascinating and memorable characters in suspense fiction. In <em>Rock Bottom, </em>Erin Brockovich combines passionate intensity, first-rate story-telling, and her real-life experiences in a novel that will leave you breathless. <em>Rock Bottom </em>from <a href="http://www.vanguardpressbooks.com/home.php"><span style="color: #993366">Vanguard Press</span></a> is available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/adios/dp/1593156251"><span style="color: #993366">Amazon</span></a> and <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN=1593156251"><span style="color: #993366">Barnes &amp; Noble</span></a>.</p>

He would risk his life on a journey through the legendary mountains of Nepal, facing the dangers of a bloody civil war.</p>
<p><em>Little Princes</em> is a true story of families and children, and what one person is capable of when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. At turns tragic, joyful, and hilarious, <em>Little Princes</em> is a testament to the power of faith and the ability of love to carry us beyond our wildest expectations.  <em>Little Princes: One Man&#8217;s Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal </em>from <a href="http://www.harpercollinscatalogs.com/harper/516_1709_323938343631.htm"><span style="color: #993366">William Morrow</span></a> is available on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/adios/dp/0061930059"><span style="color: #993366">Amazon</span></a> and <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN=0061930059"><span style="color: #993366">Barnes &amp; Noble</span></a>.</p>

Mini-dialogues, sample questions, listening tips, and suggestions use familiar situations to show how to transform business challenges into coaching opportunities. This is an essential resource for developing employees to their full potential and for fostering better working relationships for individuals, teams, and the business itself. <em>What Could Happen If You Do Nothing?
