Magic of Empowerment - My Journey in Servant Leadership

J. Derrill Rice

Summary

**TAP INTO THE MAGIC OF EMPOWERMENT **Empowerment can come from many outside influences — your friends, family, and business associates who believe in you and support your goals. But it can also come from within, when you dare to take risks, learn how to leverage your own personal creativity, continue persevering in the face of adversity, remain open to new and energizing challenges, and allow inspiration and motivation to recharge your spirit and make progress toward your goals.Veteran business leader J. Derrill Rice understands empowerment through and through — because he’s benefited from it his entire life. And he’s always made sure it benefited those around him as well.Now, in his new book, The Magic of Empowerment: My Journey in Servant Leadership, Rice explores how empowerment fueled his many achievements from growing up the child of a single mom to becoming the CEO of a number of successful manufacturing companies. More than a memoir, Rice uses compelling storytelling to not only shine a spotlight on how empowerment through servant leadership has brought him a multitude of rewards but also how it can hone your leadership skills and spur your personal growth.From his transformation from high school nerd to captain of the football team, to rising from the ranks to be recognized as an outstanding business leader, Rice explores the many ways any of us can be empowered to reach our objectives, through personal and revealing anecdotes filled with humor, wisdom, and surprises. To Rice, empowerment truly is magical — and he should know since he began studying magic as a teenager. It’s a skill that has actually added to his professional empowerment, as he once dazzled Edsel Ford, the then-head of the Ford Motor Company, by making a car disappear right before his eyes.You’ll hear about that and more (like the time he turned a corporate presentation into his own version of The Tonight Show ) in The Magic of Empowerment. More importantly, you’ll discover how to unlock the secrets of empowerment in your own life to create meaningful progress in your personal and professional life.

I Have PTSD - Reorienting after...

Curtis Solomon Ph.D

Counselor and trauma expert Curtis Solomon helps those who have suffered the disorienting effects of a traumatic experience to reorient their lives to the path God has for them. Anyone who experiences a traumatic event feels confused, lost, out of control, unsure, and unsteady—disoriented. This kind of suffering leaves marks, sometimes on the body, always on the soul, and sometimes both. In I Have PTSD, Curtis Solomon helps both those who have suffered trauma, as well as their loved ones, to understand the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma, while offering gospel hope and practical ways to make that hope real in their lives.  Trauma can come into our lives through any number of circumstances, but those circumstances do not derail the plans of God nor determine the trajectory for the rest of your life. God can and does utilize the most horrific suffering imaginable to accomplish his great plans for his people.

Kim Goldman, Tatsha Robertson

Imagine losing a loved one in the public eye.   A media frenzy ensues and spreads your family name through the news. Reporters ambush you, and across the country, strangers gossip about your personal loss.   Welcome to the circus.   No one understands better than Kim Goldman the complex emotions of individuals suffering a personal tragedy under the relentless gaze of the media. During the famed O.J. Simpson trial, Kim, whose brother, Ron Goldman, was brutally murdered, became the public poster child for victims suffering in the public eye.   In Media Circus, Goldman, now a dedicated victims' advocate who works with families across the country, presents the first collective look at these ordinary, grieving victims—forced to manage their very private trauma and despair in a very public way.   Through candid interviews and detailed, original reporting, Media Circus delivers riveting, humanizing, and inspiring stories from the victims and survivors of violent crimes who found themselves the focus of national media attention. Its heartfelt narratives showcase the unique challenges of coping with and healing from grief when the whole world is watching.   In these pages, the families of other victims tell their stories, including:  Esaw And Emerald Garner, wife and daughter of police brutality victim Eric Garner (2014)  Scarlett Lewis, mother of six-year-old Newtown tragedy victim Jesse Lewis (2012)  Debra Tate, sister of Charles Manson murder victim Sharon Tate (1969)  Judy Shepard, mother of gay hate-crime victim Matthew Shepard (1998)  Mildred Muhammad, ex-wife of the DC Sniper (2002)  Tere Duperrault Fassbender, survivor of family's brutal murder at sea (1961)  Collene Campbell, sister of murdered NASCAR driver Mickey Thompson (1988)  Marie Monville, wife of the Amish Shooter (2006)  Dave And Mary Neese, parents of teen murder victim Skylar Neese (2012)  Scott And Kathleen Larimer, parents of Aurora theater shooting victim John Larimer, and  Shirley Wygal, mother of Aurora theater shooting victim Rebecca Wingo (2012)   Media Circus goes beyond the names and faces to show the real victims behind the stories.
