Ms. Calzada has written several books. Delving into her management and coaching experience, she assists you and your employees in dealing with change and learning how to find your passion in life.

180 Ways to Effectively Deal with Change
Life has become a whirlwind of change. Our society moves at a pace that far exceeds any other time in history...constantly changing...constantly moving...constantly growing...constantly progressing.

Change isn't bad...change isn't always good...but change will ALWAYS be necessary for survival. It isn't the "do's" and "don'ts" of change that are the most important, but rather how you react to it.
"Laurie Calzada has nailed it! '180 Ways to Effectively Deal with Change' is an excellent resource on accepting change, dealing with it effectively, and learning how to manage it both in your personal and professional life. Spend time reading this simple, yet comprehensive book, and it will make you a champion instead of a victim of change."

Inspiring Passion In Others
This simple four-color gift book can change your perspective on life. There were two words spoken by one man that changed Ms. Calzada's life forever. After pondering these words for months, she woke up in the wee-hours of a December morning, realizing that she had no dreams, no hopes, and no passion in life. Over the next hour, she took pen to paper and
wrote this simple but powerful book.

"A great gift for anyone! There are very few books that cross our paths in a lifetime which resonate with our deepest values and our loftiest aspirations. ‘Inspiring Passion in Others’ does just that. No matter where you are in your journey, Laurie Calzada's book will lift you up and propel you to focus on what is truly most important in life."
Mac Anderson, Founder of Successories and Simple Truths
Ms. Calzada is currently writing her 3rd and 4th books simultaneously. Here's a sneak-peek at what's coming:
Nine Principles to Living Your Life With Passion
This powerful book is based on a presentation that Ms. Calzada delivered to Anheuser-Busch in 2007. Since the speech impacted so many lives, she was led to write a book on The Nine Principles. The book begins with Principle #1: Discover Your Passion, and leads you through all aspects of life in dealing with yourself, other people and life's circumstances. By the time you finish reading Principle #9: Unlock Your Passion, you will realize that you must find your
destiny in life, and you will never fully live your life until you have found your passion. Once again, using her own personal experience when she felt that life brought no hope or dreams, she touches your life as a person, as a leader, as a parent, and as a friend.
Abuse is No Excuse... Breaking the Cycle
Ms. Calzada began writing this book a few years ago. In the spring of 2008 she came to a point she felt she couldn't continue writing, so she put it on a shelf. A few months later, she heard the story of a young girl who was seeking advice from someone on how to overcome a rape at the age of 14. That day Laurie knew that she had to write the book, not to share her story as much as to help other's face their past in order to move on to a truly abundant future.
People who have read the manuscript to date have been blown away with how easily she puts life into perspective. It is full of stories, temperature checks on your life, tips on how to overcome trials in life, and she gives advice to the abused, the accused and the observers.
