This is the first of a 2 Book release around ‘Leveraging Your Leadership Style’. This personal journey into your leadership characteristics is not about becoming someone else, or someone you admire, or want to be like. It is about recognizing your leadership qualities and to promote and further develop those qualities you already have in building your leadership style and overall brand. Great leaders are remembered for their achievements and are quickly forgiven for their mistakes. Focussing on developing your strengths and being aware of your weaknesses is key to developing a leadership brand that is enduring, endearing and successful. This compendium serves as a reference that explores, through a series of structured activities, a large range of Leadership Qualities (values and behaviours) and Leadership Styles to help you identify and shape your leadership identity to achieve your ultimate goals in life.
Unleashing Your Inner Goddess is about understanding and acknowledging that her divinity exists. Your Inner Goddess is the purest form of you. She is everything love and never concerns herself with trivial things. She’s been around for a LONG time, and knows the ways of the Universe. She also knows why you’re here! She is your Divine spark. We often make the mistake of thinking our history begins with our birth in this life and that our memories extend only from the moment of our birth. Our physical body is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to who we are and what makes us, us. We have memories and knowledge from our life before this one. Your Inner Goddess is your soul, your true essence, who always wants the best for you. She’s the part of you who truly remembers who you were before you came to this world. She’s free and wild and really doesn’t care about other people’s opinions. She’s the part of you who’s at peace with what you’ve been through and where you’re headed. It’s “You” who set the course of your life and the things you want to accomplish and learn, before you even came to this earth. It’s “You” whispering guidance to yourself about your highest path and purpose. Your Inner Goddess invariably involves how you can best serve others while being true to yourself. This part of You helps you to keep on track with your life’s purpose and in touch with your passions and joy. Your Inner Goddess has brought with her your feminine energy. She’s that part of your soul who is fully connected with the Divine Feminine. Your Inner Goddess manifests as your higher self, your soul, your spirit, your intuition, the essence of who you truly are. You might frequently hear the phrase “finding yourself ”, but finding yourself is really returning to yourself and to your Inner Goddess. Tapping into this divine feminine energy allows you to live life guided by your true essence and be in perfect flow with the magic of the universe. Every woman has an Inner Goddess, whether you realize it or not. Connecting with your Inner Goddess will automatically make you feel happier, radiant, healthier, and sexier! Your higher vibration will make you naturally glow from the inside out. You don’t need to contact your Higher Self as an entity outside of yourself, she is You! Wisdom and memories are inside of you, if you will access them. Pay attention to your desires and passions. Your truest, heartfelt desires are feedback from your Inner Goddess about what you want to do now. Living from your Inner Goddess means not sacrificing or ignoring those desires, it also means listening to those desires on a daily basis. You know you are stepping into your Goddess self and awakening your true eternal nature when you become more concerned about you inner journey than your outward one.

Thomas A. Edison is quoted as saying, "Five percent of the people think; ten percent of the people think they think; and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think." While it is a great time to be born because of the multifarious opportunities available in today's society, it's ironic that the challenge to succeed has become more difficult because of a variety of contributing factors. Although we are constantly challenged in this age to make a living and acquire means to survive, our mission must be to thrive rather than merely survive, which will require a great deal of thinking and planning from day to day. Pastoring a multicultural church gives me the opportunity to meet diverse kinds of men and women who are looking to God for assistance and breakthroughs in different areas of their lives. What is clear to me is that regardless of who these individuals are and how they struggle in their personal lives, those who are willing to think through their challenges, regardless of how they are classified, find insightful ways to overcome. They discover that a bridge to successful, wholesome living is thinking. It is apparent that those who are ready to think are usually those who will most likely succeed because they will include God's wisdom and take responsibility for their own lives. This is regardless of their spiritual status, race, gender, class, or color. But those who fail to think and plan will continue to survive from the wind of the wings of those who do. Great Thinkers: The Bridge to Successful Living is about game changers and force multipliers who find ways through thinking to leave their prints on society regardless of odds and statistics.

Winner of a 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, this moving manifesto “empowers women to access a fearlessness that will enable community progress” (Essence). Through one incredible woman’s journey from a small Zimbabwe village to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices in women’s empowerment and education, this book “can help any woman achieve her full potential” (Kirkus Reviews). Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: A Guide for Remembering & Igniting Your Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them—power that can recreate our world for the better. Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped, global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform—and Tererai’s call to action “shines as a beacon of hope to women everywhere” (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times bestselling author).
