We can gain great contemplative insight into today and tomorrow by reading Tim's compilation of his upbringing in Pittsburgh's Mount Oliver and America's heartland in an era of values and striving. He does it with humor, pathos, and the skills of the accomplished storyteller.-Robert Fragasso, chairman and CEO of Fragasso Financial Advisors Communications professional Tim Hayes previously tackled the world of business in his first book, Jackass in a Hailstorm: Adventures in Executive Communication. Now, he's going back to the beginning and sharing stories from his childhood growing up in the "Steeltown" of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and its Mount Oliver neighborhood. His stories take you along with him as he spends an idyllic childhood, survives eight years of Catholic school, and takes on the radically new world of high school. Hayes shows how childhood moments taught him the lessons he has carried with him for the rest of his life. His stories will inspire you to think back to your experiences growing up in your own hometown! A portion of the proceeds of Growing Up Giffin will be donated to economic development efforts supporting the Mount Oliver community.

Leadership is communication, yet too many business leaders do not understand or appreciate this very basic truth. In Jackass in a Hailstorm, Tim Hayes, nationally decorated communications consultant to CEOs, shares his three decades of experience and observations on effective leadership communication in a collection of insightful, entertaining, and instructive essays to help improve your communications and, in turn, your business results.

A remarkable follow-up from the author of Riding Home: The Power of Horses to Heal If you were asked to make a list of all the people you love, how long would it take until you put yourself on the list? Years ago, when asked this question, Tim Hayes didn't have an answer. But today, after working with horses for more than 30 years, he not only puts his name on the list--he puts it first.When humans learn to love themselves, they become more compassionate. They become better parents, children, husbands, wives, partners, and coworkers. In fact, they have more successful relationships in general.Over the course of his career learning about horses and horsemanship, and eventually teaching it to others, Hayes gained an understanding of the profound social skills evident in horse relationships. This is known by many as herd dynamics and includes what he names as 10 specific qualities: AcceptanceTolerancePatienceUnderstandingKindnessHonestyTrustRespectForgivenessCompassionIn Horses, Humans, and Love, his follow-up to Riding Home--the book Robert Redford called "A beautiful volume of healing and love between man and nature" and Temple Grandin said was "Essential reading"--Hayes explains how and why when humans emulate these 10 qualities of herd dynamics witnessed in horses in their own human relationships, they naturally express and thus demonstrate the true altruistic meaning of what we call "love," both for others, and for ourselves. Through his personal journey and inspiring stories of those he has worked with through the years, Hayes reveals how horses can teach us all how to compassionately reconnect with our shared global humanity and put an end to self-created, antagonistic, superficial human differences such as race, religion, nationality, wealth, and ideology. He shows us how horses have the ability to instantly remind us that we all share the same world, share the same fears and desires, and more than anything else, desperately desire to get along with each other.In his thoughtful descriptions of his own experience and research, Hayes illustrates his spiritual and philosophical struggles to understand the state of the world today and how we each can work in simple yet impactful ways to make it better. His conclusions, having reflected upon and shared what he has learned through the horse, leave readers with an infectious optimism one might even call hope. His book, a gentle treatise for change from a remarkable horseman, will be enjoyed by all those seeking to improve their own lives and that of our global community.
