Born in East Saint Louis to a drug-addicted mother who died when he was eight years old, author Orvin Kimbrough chronicles his early years through foster care, orphanages, physical and sexual abuse, hunger, and poverty. He could have joined a gang. He could have become a teen father. He could have fallen into drugs and the violence of the streets. He could have ended up in prison. He could have been shot dead.
But he rose above it all to become a prosperous leader in the Saint Louis business and nonprofit communities. Instead of succumbing to life on the streets, Kimbrough sought the one thing that would redeem him from that dismal, expected fate-education. This is the story of a young man who, despite all the forces that worked against him, fiercely determined to make a better life for himself and is resolute about showing others the way.
Diabetics often have problems with their feet that can lead to infection and amputation. In this book, Dr. Aaranson provides a complete guide that addresses how to take care of your feet if you are a diabetic. Diabetics often experience neuropathy in their feet--they can't feel anything, so they aren't aware when problems are developing. In such cases, if not caught early or even prevented through daily foot care, the person can lose the toes or foot to amputation. This doesn't have to happen, and Dr. Aaranson shows you how to prevent such a catastrophe.
It's a terrifying diagnosis that nobody wants to hear, especially about themselves: dementia. But now that it's diagnosed, do you simply sit by and watch your life fade away? Not if you're author Sally Faith. In her energetic manner, she takes the bull by the horns and shows you how to LIVE with early dementia. There's much you can do to secure a satisfying life for yourself if you do it now, while you still have the mental capacity to make solid choices for yourself.
Watch as the author absorbs the painful truth, then gets down to business: she sells her house and finds an independent living facility where she can graduate to memory care; she organizes her life, so she can remain independent for as long as possible; she incorporates new and interesting activities that keep her brain active and learning; and she embraces a positive attitude, determined to enjoy herself for the rest of her days.
In I Am Losing my Memory; I'm NOT Losing My Mind, Sally Faith provides an example for those who have early dementia AND those who love them about how to stay positive, embrace change, and live in a state of gratitude and humor.
What is a leader? People who lead do so in a variety of ways, and they aren't always the formal, designated leaders. They often lead by influence-influence acquired by stepping up to offer ideas, role-model values, or to share their knowledge and expertise. They're the informal leaders of our workplaces, and they're the ones organizations should mentor and develop for their next leadership contribution.
Great leaders know that cultivating people and teams is the key to sustained results, and in this book, Jan Salisbury equips leaders with the know-how and best practices to lead others through the coach approach. If you want to be a leader who coaches, this book will reward your curiosity and give you a place to begin your coaching practice within your own organization.

If you've been frustrated about the amount of money you take home versus the number of hours you work, this book is for you.
The Podiatry Practice Business Solution will teach you how to manage every aspect of your business to make it more efficient, from hiring your A team, to focusing on your practice goals, to evaluating the numbers--all for the purpose of being much more profitable. You'll learn everything you need to know to be a successful businessperson who practices podiatry.

A move to Nashville, four new friends, a Magic Forest, flying creatures, crawling bears, and death-defying adventures await twelve-year-old Kayla as she and her family relocate from Los Angeles, California to their new home in Tennessee. Before her move, Kayla receives a mysterious map-a map of The Magic Forest that's near her new home. But she can't figure out who sent it to her.
Her first challenge is to find The Magic Forest, and she does so with the help of three other girls, Emma Rae, Jaelyn, and Bailey, who also received a map. Along the way they meet Mandy, and their challenge is to find the Sender-the one who sent the map-somewhere deep in The Magic Forest. But their parents don't know where they are, and they don't know how to get home as they are plunged into the beauty and danger of a place as magical as its name. Kayla, Mandy, Emma Rae, Jaelyn, and Bailey use their inner strength, magic, and friendship to overcome obstacles in The Magic Forest and prove they can accomplish anything.

The result is a population of podiatrists who have expanded their bottom line without working more hours.
This book offers private practice podiatrists a complete management and billing solution-your revenue roadmap-for becoming independent, successful, and highly profitable.

You've heard that behavior is dictated by your brain orientation. Either you're right brained or left brained. If you're right brained, you're creative; if you're left brained, you're technical. Or so it may seem. Until he entered extreme grief after the death of his wife-his true love-John Lodal believed that was true. But in his heartache, something blew open. The barriers between his hemispheres opened wide, and he began to experience right brain reactions to his grief: he felt feelings he'd never felt, he became empathetic toward others, he wrote poetry to express his sorrow, and he openly served others.
From the perspective of a former Hewlett-Packard engineer, A Right Brain Awakening is the author's journey through his wife's final stages of cancer and hospice care (the exact cancer that he, himself, had overcome), the plunge into grief, accepting his new reality, and leading from the heart-not the head-to create a new, vibrant life.
Most people look at the retirement years as a time to shut off their brain and dial up the golf. But why would you want to live like that when you can live the FINER life? FINER stands for Financial Independence Never Ever Retire. It doesn't mean you'll never be able to kick back and relax or move on from that nine-to-five job; it means you'll achieve the freedom that results from wealth. It also means that overseeing your investments, which are the businesses you've accumulated, will become your asset management business.
Using the principles from his Make Your Family Rich system, author Patrick J. Keogh shows you how to view and manage your investments, so they not only serve you in your retirement years but also leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.

The minute we take our first breath, we start our quest for survival: we need food, we need warmth, we need air. Soon, we're driven to grasp and hold-two things we continue to do throughout life until . . . until when? Derrik Kassebaum faced this question. When do I stop grasping and holding and begin to release myself to God's higher purpose? How do I let go?
Throughout this breakthrough book, Kassebaum shows how to let go of things that had been important-even critical-to him: long-held beliefs, ingrained practices, outmoded attitudes and, yes, material possessions, only to be led into a glorious, adventurous life that only God could have planned for him.
There's no doubt that medicine has made incredible strides in treating, and even curing, cancers. But there's a portion of the population that's missing out on these medical advances--African Americans. Dr. Fitzoy Dawkins wants to change that. He wants African Americans to fully embrace all that research and medicine has to offer, so they can fight and cure their cancers instead of succumbing to them.
There are many reasons why African Americans shy away from the medical industrial complex: Tuskegee, Henrietta Lacks, fear, denial, not wanting to be a guinea pig. But so much has changed in medical protocols over the past fifty years that these fears are no longer valid. And yet, African American cancer patients have essentially sidelined themselves from finding a cure.
Fighting for Survival is Dr. Dawkins' his love letter to African American cancer patients, his plea for them to fully participate in all possible healing opportunities, so they can conquer cancer.
