<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Curve Benders is a personal growth roadmap at the intersection of the future of how we'll work, live, play, give, and our strategic relationships. The book will focus how strategic relationships can dramatically alter our growth trajectory in both its direction and ultimate destination against the forces that will shape the future of how we'll work, live, play, and serve others. The author's research has identified 15 forces which will heavily influence what we'll be doing, and how and where we'll engage our current and prospective relationships to create value and make a difference in the lives of others. To remain relevant, we'll need to upskill, reskill, and redeploy our knowledge, skills, and behaviors. None of us can predict the future. We can all plan our strategic path forward. The goal of Nour's research, interviews, and this book is to provide the reader with a roadmap for personal, professional, and organizational growth. Beyond a linear growth journey, the author highlights how certain relationships enable a non-linear growth trajectory. Beyond what we can accomplish, they often shape who we become. The relationships are "curve benders" and Nour describes who and where they are, how to find and engage them, and equally valuable, how one becomes a curve bender to profoundly impact the lives and livelihoods of others"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A personal growth roadmap guiding you into the future of relationships in work, life, play, and giving </b></p> <p><i>Curve Benders</i> is a personal growth roadmap.

From relationship strategy to grit, visualization, technology, economy, geopolitics, and black swan events, these forces will create headwind, tailwind, or turbulence in our personal and professional paths forward. COVID-19, as an example of a black swan event, proved that global disruption forever changed many of our assumptions.</p><p>To remain relevant, every professional will have to learn and grow. For most, this growth journey is a linear curve. With an incredibly dynamic market ahead, linear growth will no longer suffice. You'll have to learn more, faster, and immediately apply that learning to tackle critical challenges and opportunities ahead.</p><p>That's where your most valuable asset comes into play. Beyond your educational foundation and professional pedigree, certain strategic relationships will have a profound impact on your journey from now to next. These relationships are "curve benders." Other relationships can take you in a completely wrong direction. These relationships are "fender benders." Your goal is to surround yourself with as many potential curve benders as possible while avoiding fender benders at all costs.</p><p>In this insightful yet practical book, discover your personal market value, explore growth grids, exploit your personal s-curves in search of refraction points, and create a road map to your curve benders. Packed with pragmatic advice, tools, and links to resources, <i>Curve Benders</i> is your guide in the journey from now to next.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>DAVID NOUR</b> is internationally recognized as the leading expert on applications of strategic relationships in profitable growth, sustained innovation, and lasting change.
