Breast cancer survivor Marva Bailer wrote her debut book Be Unexpected while she was battling her diagnosis as she was forced to think about how to reset her routines. The book is a guide to energizing routines and meetings in the workplace. Whether they are done in-person or over video chat, Bailer shows how every meeting does not have to be the same formula over and over. With psychological and field research to back up her practices, Be Unexpected is sure to help purpose-driven leaders in the business world create an enthusiastic and lasting impression, from networking one-on-one to presenting in front of a large audience. Bailer does not hesitate to break down the classic business meeting to its bare bones and give constructive and useful advice on changing it up for the best outcome possible.

Make sure the next time you find yourself in a meeting, Be Unexpected and change the way you see yourself to help foster a better human connection and create a workspace for productive conversations.

All proceeds during the month of October go to breast cancer research and rehabilitation.
