"Joe Calloway is a showoff who can back it up. Joe Calloway is not just an expert; he's a world-class expert. Joe Calloway is not just a master; he's a world-class master. Joe Calloway delivers a lesson of reality that will kickstart your success. Buy his book, read his book, study his book, and implement his book so that you can achieve and show off your world-class mastery, world-class expertise, and wealth."
—Jeffrey Gitomer, author, The Little Red Book of Selling and Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude
"Calloway teaches you to let go of your excuses, break out of your chains, crawl out of your rut, drop your baggage at the door, then kick the door down and grab life by the thoat so you can actually become the person you most admire. I love this book! Finally, a fun, refreshing alternative to the motivational mumbo-jumbo. Instead it's an action plan for personal excellence."
—Larry Winget, author, It's Called Work for a Reason! and Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life
"Show off at work? I'd never thought about it in those terms. Then Calloway wrote this stimulating little book, and it makes perfect sense. He explains how to show off the right way and bring your best to your work every day, and why the biggest beneficiary isn't your employer or customer (although they'll love it), but you. So read this book, and start showing off at work. You'll be glad you did."
—Mark Sanborn, author, The Fred Factor and You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader
"Work Like You're Showing Off isn't just an inspiring and practical success guide, it's the very key to personal excellence in the twenty-first century. And here's the bonus—it's an absolute blast to read. You're going to love this book!"
—Steve Farber, author, The Radical Edge: Stoke Your Business, Amp Your Life, and Change the World
"Calloway always has something to say, and he's always worth listening to. His new book is straight talk on success. Read it fast!"
—Randy Gage, author, Why You're DUMB, SICK & BROKE . . . And How to Get SMART, HEALTHY & RICH!

Joe Calloway encourages you to pull out all stops and become the best at what you do, a real show-off. Most of his material, which is drawn from his inspirational lectures, is amped-up common sense: Don't promise more than you can deliver; figure out how to do what you already do better. He provides useful, though time-worn, advice. Calloway finds inspiration in the most unlikely places, such as watching a diligent barista at a mall coffee shop, and presents readers with brief, easy lessons. Each item gives you a little something to chew on and urges you toward a better self. getAbstract recommends this book for a quick shot of positive thinking, small but mighty in its inspirational punch.
