One of Scarlett Abbott's 2023 World Changers, Marva Bailer takes a modern twist on business protocols that haven't changed since the '80s in her book, Be Unexpected. Energizing the routine and mundane professional lectures and meetings, Be Unexpected will teach listeners soft skills in a relatable way that will help create positive connections.

The debut book of Marva Bailer, MS, Be Unexpected, is a guide to energizing the routine and mundane office meetings.

With psychological and field research to back up her practices, Be Unexpected is sure to help purpose-driven leaders in the business world create an enthusiastic and lasting impression, from networking one-on-one to presenting in front of a large audience.

Bailer does not hesitate to break down the classic business meeting to its bare bones and give constructive and useful advice on changing it up for the best outcome possible.

Make sure the next time you find yourself in a meeting, Be Unexpected and change the way you see yourself to help foster a better human connection and create a workspace for productive conversations.
