One Size Never Fits All

Business Development Strategies Tailored for Women (And Most Men)

Women continue to trail their male counterparts in making it to the very top leadership positions in professional service firms. Research demonstrates that the ability to develop business is a greater obstacle for women's success than any other reason. Through original research, Dr. Reeves illustrates how women often are more successful in certain aspects of business development (networking, establishing relationships, delivering excellence in client service), but firms primarily reward closing the sale and getting the credit for the sale. Dr. Reeves explains why most women fall prey to this flawed traditional business development approach and offers a series of alternative approaches that professional women, as well as the firms in which they work, should use instead.

Smarter Than a Lie

Winning Against Liars Without Losing Your Mind

While most of us live by the same moral code, we aren't armed with the tools to deal with the liars who do not. Our brains are hardwired to make it more likely we will believe liars, and fall prey to manipulators through truth bias, trust bias, and authority bias. In this book, nationally-recognized workplace researcher Dr. Arin N. Reeves delves into the world of liars, the lies they tell, and the ways in which each of us can be smarter than the lies we encounter, especially in professional environments and public spaces. Smarter Than A Lie will help you understand why liars lie, why their lies are effective, and the most effective strategies to counteract liars and overcome their lies.

Ethical Influence Under Pressure

Choosing Integrity to Create Change that Endures

Most books about influence assume ideal conditions. This one begins where real life begins: under pressure. Through vivid case studies and a practical framework, Dr. Reeves shows how ethical influence works across cognitive, emotional, social, and structural layers — and why change fails when those layers fall out of alignment. For leaders, advocates, and anyone trying to move people and systems without abandoning truth, dignity, or justice, this book offers a powerful guide to creating change that endures.
