Before she was a record-breaking gymnast competing on the world stage, Simone Biles spent time in foster care as a young child. Nimble and boundlessly energetic, she cherished every playground and each new backyard. When she was six years old, Simone's family took shape in a different way. Her grandparents Ron and Nellie Biles adopted Simone and her sister Adria. Ron and Nellie became their parents. Simone was also introduced to gymnastics that same year, launching a lifelong passion fueled by remarkable talent, sacrifice, and the undying support of her family. From her athletic early childhood to the height of her success as an Olympic champion, Flying High is the story of the world's greatest gymnast from author Michelle Meadows and illustrator Ebony Glenn.

Book excerpt: How do you escape the gravity of fear? When singer, songwriter, and best-selling author Stowe D. Shockey meets entrepreneur and “pilot of unique concepts” Calvin LeHew, she is fascinated with his rags-to-riches story, his positive outlook, and his ability to manifest dreams by the power of thought. Spending time with Calvin, transcribing his seminars, and writing his story brings to light the dreams Stowe has buried, along with fears she has carried. As cancer threatens not only the completion of the book but her very life, Stowe is forced to make some heart-wrenching decisions—with Calvin’s help. The true story of Flying High was originally intended to chronicle the amazing life of one writer; remarkably, the process of its creation helped rescue the life of his co-author. The result of their experience is an uplifting story for the world—a story of personal growth, a tribute to divine guidance, and a reminder to be who you were born to be.

Sir Richard Branson The inspiring story of business hero and Apprentice Asia star Tony Fernandes As a boy, Tony Fernandes wanted to be a pilot, a footballer or a racing driver.

Flying High is the memoir of an exceptional business leader; the man who created Asia's first budget airline, democratizing air travel in Asia and building AirAsia into a multi-billion-dollar company in the process. Published as Tony returns as the face of the second series of Apprentice Asia, this inspiring personal story will be a major global publishing event. Tony Fernandes studied at Epsom College, UK, and the London School of Accoutancy. He worked for Virgin Communications and Warner Music before acquiring AirAsia and relaunching it as Asia's first low-cost carrier in 2001/2.

Tony has been awarded a CBE, titled twice by the King of Malaysia and awarded the Legion d'Honneur by the French government.

Book excerpt: Singapore Airlines (SIA) is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading airlines, if not the best airline, globally. This book provides insights into a simple but intriguing question: How has SIA managed to outperform other flag-carriers for decades in an industry where it is notoriously difficult to succeed consistently? This updated second edition of Flying High in a Competitive Industry begins with an analysis of the airline industry and its key trends, moving on to a broad outline of SIA's strategic drivers of success. Empirical research was conducted at SIA to gain a deeper understanding of its strategy, core competencies and internal organisation, innovation processes and human resource practices, in order to instill strategy lessons that can inform the strategies of any organisation competing in intensely competitive industries. This book ends with some strategic lessons that apply to any organisation that aims to achieve sustainable success in hypercompetitive markets.
