How to Find Wealth and Success
by Developing the Skills
Companies Actually Need

By Nicholas Wyman

Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about what a successful career path can look like.

Today, unemployment hovers at a near-record high, yet 3.5 million American jobs remain unfilled. Why? Because companies simply cannot find people with the skills they actually need.

The good news is that this skills gap represents unprecedented opportunities for every person seeking a successful and exciting career. But these opportunities can’t be found inside the walls of the traditional classroom. Instead, they lie in the myriad of educational options that provide the technical, vocational, and soft skills on demand in today’s workplace, such as:

–Professional certifications: Start your career faster in fields like bioscience aviation, culinary arts, and medical technology.

–Associates degrees: Increase earning potential through inexpensive 2-year programs in subjects like civil engineering, environmental science, education, and nursing.

–Apprenticeships: Earn while you learn under the direct supervision of a skilled expert. Far beyond the artisan trades, today’s apprenticeships can be found at companies like Volkswagen and Siemens.

–Occupational learning: Refresh or reboot your skill sets through on-the-job training or online education.

In Job U, you’ll learn about these paths to rewarding occupations; where to find them and how to parlay them into the best paying job in any field. And along the way, you’ll meet individuals of all ages who have attained their “dream jobs” through a non-traditional education: from an emergency air paramedic, to a lead mechanic of a racecar team, to an engineer of complex gas turbine generators, to a bestselling cookbook author.

Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.

A Formula for Social Justice

THE LAWYER AS LEADER

How to Plant People and Grow Justice

by Dr. Artika Tyner

Get Your Copy

ABOUT THE BOOK

Imagine if community members across the world began planting seeds of social change, justice, and freedom. Could you be the one who plants the seeds for the promotion of access to affordable housing, fair sentencing, educational equity, or racial justice? This is your beckoning to lead—will you answer the call?

The Lawyer as Leader: How to Plant People and Grow Justice is an inspiring roadmap designed to help you become an effective agent for social change and transformational leader.

The social justice challenges of our time are enormous. About one in seven U.S. residents live in poverty and the disparity between the haves and have-nots is wider than at any point since the Great Depression. The poor are largely marginalized from the public policy process and often are unable to assert their legal rights in regard to basic necessities such as nutrition, health, shelter, income, education, and protection from violent physical abuse. More broadly, the poor are perpetually victimized by systems which maintain and uphold discrimination, disparate outcomes, and subordination based upon one’s social identity.

Experienced educator and community advocate, Dr. Artika Tyner shows how you can make a difference in the world. The book is a beacon call for those who wish to join the fight for social and economic justice. Highlights include:

The three pillars of new social justice lawyering: (1) Origins and theories of social justice lawyering, (2) Principles of servant and transformational leadership, and (3) The lawyer as policy entrepreneur and coalition builder.

How to build your own leadership platform; how to create communities based on a shared vision of justice; and how to plant seeds to empower future leaders.

The Lawyer as Leader will provide those who are passionate about social justice with the inspiration, ideas, and tools to build and lead coalitions to fight for social and economic justice.

Meet the Author: Dr. Artika Tyner

Dr. Artika R. Tyner is a passionate educator, author, sought after speaker, and advocate for justice. At the University of St. Thomas College of Education, Leadership & Counseling, Dr. Tyner serves as a public policy/leadership professor. She trains graduate students to serve as social engineers who create new inroads to justice and freedom.

Tyner received her B.A. from Hamline University (Major: English; Certificate: Conflict Studies). Due to her passion for advocating for social justice and educational policy reform, she decided to pursue graduate studies at the University of St. Thomas. She began her journey with law school since she recognized that the law is a language of power and therefore she sought to become well versed in the law.

Subsequently, Tyner earned a Master of Public Policy and Leadership in order to gain tools for effecting social change through policy reform efforts. Later, inspired by the legacy of W.E.B. Dubois, she obtained a Doctorate in Leadership. Her doctoral studies provided her with key tools for serving in her community and promoting social justice.

Dr. Tyner is committed to empowering others to lead within their respective spheres of influence. She provides leadership development and career coaching for young professionals. She has also developed leadership educational materials for K-12 students, college/graduate students, faith communities and nonprofits. Additionally, Dr. Tyner teaches leadership coursework on ethics, critical reflection, and organizational development. Her research focuses on diversity/inclusion, community development, and civil rights. She has presented her research and conducted leadership training programs both nationally and internationally.

Dr. Tyner leads by example by organizing policy campaigns, fostering restorative justice practices, developing social entrepreneurship initiatives, and promoting assets-based community development. She serves as a global citizen by supporting education, entrepreneurship, and women’s leadership initiatives in Africa.

Free Book – The Shocking Truth About Goal Setting

Goals:

Never Set Them Again and achieve more than you ever dreamed possible

by Cary David Richards

FREE Oct. 16 to 20

Click for FREE Copy

The Shocking Truth About Goal Setting is that It Hardly Ever Works!
How to achieve more than you ever dreamed possible, even if you’ve set goals in the past and been unsuccessful

We’ve all had the experience of setting goals

Whether it’s a career goal, life goals or something very specific that you want, it’s easy to get fired up and begin striving to accomplish the goal in question. You make a plan and maybe even buy a goals book, then map out a strategy and set to work.

At some point, weeks or months later you look back and realize that your motivation has waned and your plan of action has stalled. You haven’t had any movement towards your goal in days or weeks.

Life has gotten in the way.

Our earnestly hoped for goals and objectives remain tantalizingly in the distance while we sit and wonder what happened. The problem is that even though we’ve read a goals book or even taken a goals course and we think we’ve learned how to set goals, the exact process of how to achieve those goals has somehow eluded us.

Why didn’t we get there? Why did it seem so logical and doable at first? Was it due to a lack of hard work or motivation? In most instances this is not the case. Then why do our most cherished life and career goals seem to elude us?

What you’ll learn:

Why rigid time frames actually hinder your ability to reach your goal.
How emotions and feelings affect your action plan.
The beauty of reducing your wants and desires down into bite sized chunks.
How to develop a plan of action that actually works.

What is a Goal?
1. noun, the result or achievement toward which effort is directed; aim; end.
2. “A goal is a dream with a deadline.” ~Napoleon Hill
3. A promise you are making to yourself.

The Backsliders Guide to Goal Setting is a four phase process to help you live an absolutely extraordinary life. The four phases are:

Get Clear
Organize
Action
Lead

The Get Clear phase is all about dreaming, coming up with ideas, accomplishments, and projects you wish to complete. We will go over several exercises including gratitude, and defining your ‘ideal day.’ We will then chunk it all down into actual goals you can set for yourself. This phase could take a few hours to complete – all dependent on how far you want to take it.

The Organize phase is all about getting ready. This preparation phase involves collecting all your resources to see what you already have and what you are lacking in order complete a specific goal. We will look at time, money, people, and internal resources. This phase should also take a couple hours to complete.

The Action phase is all about taking the necessary steps to get you where you want to be. Taking massive, directed action with an absolute purpose! This is where your passions shine, your true colors show, and where you will be tested. You will see how constantly taking action brings about results.

The Lead phase is all about taking what you have learned and helping others. Now that you have completed a goal you set out for yourself, you become the catalyst to help others do the same. This phase lasts a lifetime.

Many recent popular science books have gleefully shown how irrational we are in making decisions.

Getting to know yourself is the first step to finding who you are, and becoming who you were meant to be. Learning to accept yourself can be hard, especially when you spend some time dwelling on the things that you value – the things that make up your unique essence.

What you value will determine who you become, by influencing your choices, and this process can be confusing as some of your values seem to be conflicting. But take heart and relax as you keep working to learn through trial and error to become who you want to be.

It is important to define yourself, rather than to allow other people’s expectations dictate who you become. When you become the person you were destined to be, you will have the personal power, the drive and the motivation to take your career to the next level.

Nicole Dominique Le Maire delves into ‘Being!’

– being you, being bold and being the person you were meant to be. As a career coach, HR consultant, mentor, speaker, blogger and writer, Nicole has learned that being yourself is the key to personal and professional success.
