MY BOOK

I hope this book serves as a catalyst, inspiring both young people and parents to strive for improvement. My goal is for readers to see themselves in these pages and realize they're not alone. As someone who also searched for guidance while growing up, I feel compelled to pass on the strategies that guided me through challenging times.

This book offers practical frameworks and relatable scenarios that could pave the way for greater achievements. Remember, no matter the missteps you've made as a parent, recovery is always possible. A heartfelt acknowledgment to your children, coupled with concrete steps to demonstrate change, can make all the difference.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

There is a critical need for a positive outlook when facing societal issues such as inadequate parenting, school shootings, and depression. Many fail to realize their potential due to a fear of failure, which is often misinterpreted as inherently negative. Drawing from my own experiences and insights gained from figures like Dr. Miles Monroe and John Maxwell, I advocate for viewing failure as a stepping stone to success.

SPEAKING TOPICS

  • Preparing for college begins with the right mindset! As a parent, I've learned how to strengthen a child's mental framework to prime them for success. On this topic, I explore the significance of responsibility, the pitfalls of procrastination, the necessity of accountability, and more.

  • Parenting is a complex field with much to consider, and sadly, it doesn't come with an instruction manual. A key focus of mine, which I also highlight in my book, is "Building a strong foundation." Additionally, we address how to overcome previous errors, recognize the emotional shortcomings from your own childhood, and avoid perpetuating those same patterns.

  • This is a subject that challenges adults, and naturally, it would challenge children too. Adversities are meant to build our resilience against life's uncertainties, and they manifest in various forms. It's crucial to extract learning opportunities from each experience, which is where many people falter; instead of harnessing adversity to their advantage, they let it overwhelm them.

  • this is another key topic addressed in my book! I embody the saying, "you become a product of your environment," which underscores the importance of this issue. It's easy to overlook the flaws of genuinely good people due to their positive attributes. However, if you're not vigilant, you might find yourself adopting some of their negative traits. Be mindful of your surroundings!

  • You don’t need a formal title to be recognized as a leader! People might follow you, admire you, or even dislike you without your awareness, making it crucial to continually develop your leadership skills. In my book "Transforming Trauma," I discuss how I've followed certain individuals from a distance for mentorship. If they knew I was observing them, it might have inspired them. However, I chose to track leaders unaware of my scrutiny to truly see their authentic actions and reactions. We take a deep dive into various leadership styles and explore what constitutes effective leadership.

  • Over the years, I've observed that both young and old have difficulties with accountability. Many people dislike being seen as wrong or being held responsible for their actions. In our discussions, we will explore how to position yourself to embrace accountability. Adopting this mindset not only earns you respect from your peers but also positions you for advancement. Being accountable means acknowledging that you don't handle everything perfectly but are always eager to improve.

  • Believe it or not, your work ethic defines your character, essentially becoming your personal brand. So, how do you wish to be perceived? This trait is coveted by many, yet not everyone possesses the discipline required to excel in it. Succeeding in this realm demands significant mental strength. It's an aspect we thoroughly address in our sessions, where I guide you through proven strategies to enhance your performance in this domain.

  • Keep in mind that every interview is crucial; it's a pivotal moment that can shape outcomes significantly. Professionalism is an ongoing journey, improving with experience. This subject holds particular significance, particularly for younger individuals. Often, youngsters lack the necessary tools in this realm and must learn from mistakes later in life. However, embracing professionalism begins now.

  • In today's challenging environment, this topic holds immense importance due to numerous adversities. Amidst tough times, having a reliable anchor is essential. Developing awareness in this aspect can fuel momentum alongside your actions. Additionally, there's a sense of accountability for leading a fulfilling life to access certain benefits. Consider inviting me to conduct sessions with your group for a refreshing reset and encouragement. My goal is to restore the church and help others realize its major relevance!
