Multiple Steams of Success
A collection of short stories by everyday people who share their individual stores of faith, hope and success. A great read for all of us who have ever struggled with adversity.
Life to the Brim
Each person should have their own personal purpose statement. It should be in alignment with their destined purpose. As a life coach, I help people tap into that purpose. I provide secular and spiritual life coaching to groups, youths, adults and inmates.
Violence and Drop Out Prevention
I am a contractor for Moting.org, advocating preventive measures for violence and juvenile drop both in elementary and high schools. Working for the Federal Prison system I see the down stream/back end of juvenile violence and drop out consequences. My efforts along with others who believe in our youth is now focusing on the upstream/front end efforts to positively impact the children who are susceptable of being left behind in our communities. If you would like to take an active role in impacting the youth in your communities contact me and learn about the cutting edge 21th century concept of Motivational Intervention. I have been awarded a grant that provide tools to administrators in juvenile, high school, middle and alternative schools, after school youth programs, boys and girls clubs, etc.
Countless numbers of youth are dropping out school at an alarming rate. Intervention costs more than prevention. Our youth are challenged with gang influence, low self esteem, obesity, gossip, sex, violence and the list , decisions, etc.
Motivational Intervention provides youth with interactive CD's that provides direct input into decisions they make and subsequent consequences of those decisions. Being able to see the consequences of their decisions is what helps them make better decisions later.
There is no other program like this. Contact me at 352-223-9552 for more information.
