Party Crash Your Career & Life
Be Bold, Risk Safely, and Succeed Without an Invitation by Allan James Moore
At one point in our lives or another, we have all had the experience of wanting to try our hand at something we have no business trying. Whether it’s striking out on a new career path or asking someone out who’s out of our league, many of us know what it’s like to find our way barred before we’ve even set out. But even without the requisite qualities, skills, or street cred, we can still make our dreams come true. How? By simply refusing to wait for an invitation! In this original work of nonfiction, career keynote speaker Allan James Moore argues compellingly for crashing life’s parties you feel you should be in but have not been invited to and probably never will. Part memoir and part self-help, Party Crash Your Career & Life shows how making your own opportunities and carving your own path—regardless of your experience, reputation, or credentials—leads to both personal and professional success. Drawing both on his own personal experience—from trying out for a professional soccer team to a stint as a Mandarin interpreter and translator, to his eventual success as a keynote speaker delivering speeches across the globe—as well as a wealth of examples drawn from the worlds of sports and entertainment—from Steve Nash to Susan Boyle—Moore demonstrates the power of party crashing your way into the places, relationships, and positions of your dreams. "Party Crashers" reminds us that you don't always have to be invited if you have the work ethic and preparation to crash the demands of the party. Moore recognizes that a lack of invitation can be a test to overcome rather than an absolute rejection and leads us to live a life without regret. Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski, B.A.(PSYC), OLY Tokyo 2020 Olympic Champion 2024 CAN Fund Recipient "I’ve known Allan for almost 30 years, and this book is a perfect reflection of his journey—creating his own opportunities and breaking through barriers when others would have quit. It’s inspiring, practical, and packed with wisdom you can apply right away. If you’re ready to take control of your future, this book will show you how to make it happen." Dr. Jeff Bartlett BackFit Clinic “Allan has brilliantly painted what it means to be a party crasher — and the promise it holds to transform the way you approach work and life. His inspiring stories and practical strategies will ensure you stop waiting for the opportunity, get into bold action, and live a life without regret!” Carol Schulte, M.A. B.F.A. Keynote Speaker | Executive Coach Founder of The Brave Initiative Building Braver Leaders and Cultivating Braver Cultures. "The stories are fantastic! It's a great message and a fun read" Hugh Culver, M.B.A., Business Coach | Entrepreneur | Keynote Speaker Past President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers Association

The Soldier, the Spy, and the Orphan
Fragments of Poland's Wartime History by Anna Brychcy
Amid the upheaval of two world wars, three individuals found themselves at the heart of Poland’s struggle for survival. Their extraordinary stories, shaped by war, resistance, and resilience, offer a deeply personal perspective on Poland’s complex and often tragic past. The Soldier—A fifteen-year-old boy from Prussian-occupied Poland fights on the brutal Eastern Front of World War I before joining his nation’s battle for independence. As Poland emerges from the ashes of war, he is swept into the chaos of revolution, border wars, and the fragile rebirth of a nation. The Spy—A daring Polish intelligence officer orchestrates a high-stakes espionage network, earning the distinction of being named "the most dangerous Pole alive" by Heinrich Himmler. In an unlikely alliance with the Japanese, his covert operations place him at the centre of Poland’s desperate fight against Nazi occupation. The Orphan—A young girl and her family are torn from their home at the start of World War II and deported to a forced labour camp in the Soviet Union. When Stalin joins forces with the Western Allies, the Poles who survived are set free. Orphaned and alone, she faces a harsh sentence in a Soviet detention centre for stealing a handful of biscuits. Meanwhile, her siblings embark on an extraordinary odyssey, first as guests of a maharaja in India and then to a Polish refugee camp nestled in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa. Woven into the broader historical context, these moving narratives reveal aspects of Poland’s wartime history that are unfamiliar to most Western readers, shedding light on the high price paid by the Polish people before, during, and after these conflicts ended.
