TWIST THE FAMILIAR

 

 

NOW AVAILABLE!

 

Twist the Familiar (July 2024 by ALIVE Book Publishing) is chock full of curated stories that work as coaching lessons to help readers build their own playbook for success. That benefit sets this book apart from other purely motivational books. Gary kicks it up a notch and puts the power into his readers’ hands by helping them lay out their playbook as they make their way through the chapters. It is designed to be a transformative resource for today’s success-oriented business leaders, sales professionals, entrepreneurs, or anyone who wants a boost to find that extra gear.

Simply put, Twist the Familiar was written to help readers create more success for themselves and others. It’s the perfect “evergreen book” that readers will want to keep close as a reference and also provide copies to their sales teams, leadership executives, managers, and customers.

When Hall of Fame football coach Bob Ladouceur read an advance copy, he was so emotionally moved that he offered to write the book’s foreword. “It transforms. It’s hard to put down,” he says. “It’s so easy to understand, and it just flows. It’s straightforward, common sense!”

This book weaves diverse experiences of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and how they twist the familiar to create authentic success and stand out from the crowd. Lessons are drawn from individuals in many walks of life, such as movie theater ushers, a thoroughbred racing jockey, and a Super Bowl champion head coach. Even The Beatles make an appearance!

Readers will enjoy Gary’s short, quick-hitting chapters in a variety of settings that range from humorous to more serious and thought-provoking. Gary deftly draws coaching lessons from places such as Pebble Beach, Pearl Harbor, Valley Forge, hospitality businesses, football training camps, golf courses, a hospital Intensive Care Unit, a Civil War battlefield, and a U.S. Army base, to name a few. He has included not only colorful chapters of his own experiences, but generous offerings from other people in a variety of essential business topics.

Twist the Familiar is an honest and straightforward treat with a dash of humor in the right places. It reflects life itself as it asks questions, offers solutions, inspires, challenges, and illuminates people from C-Suite and executive leadership to front-line teams, small business owners, and solopreneurs.

From Amazon: “Customers find the book provides valuable insights and encourages them to think outside the box. They appreciate the unique storytelling style and visually rich anecdotes that make it entertaining. The book is described as fun and entertaining, with humor woven throughout.” (AI-generated from the text of customer reviews)

Your playbook that Gary helps you develop throughout his book represents a goldmine to you, both personally and professionally. Dive in and get the jump on things so that you can live more of your life twisting the familiar.

That sounds pretty cool, right?

Twist the Familiar is a treasure!

Gary Hernbroth’s Twist the Familiar is a treasure; a collection of sixty-one little gems filled with wisdom and insight that will have you re-examining your business practices, and, by extension, Life itself.

Gary does indeed "twist the familiar" as he subtly reminds us of techniques and best practices that we already know but may have forgotten along the way. We all have our blind spots; through stories told with a human touch and gentle humor, Gary enables us to see our own foibles even as he offers practical solutions. Overall, the tone is one of encouragement and positive practicality.

Each chapter comes with a “Playbook” at the end – five or so questions enabling us to look closely at our own situation and how we might apply the lessons learned. Finally, while the focus of Twist the Familiar is on business, the stories and quotes throughout, not surprisingly, have Life implications as well. My favorite is “Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened.” Thank you, Gary.
