Book Description
Over the years, I've observed a great need for 5 key essentials to move people along their life/professional journey. Most people simply need someone to meet them where they are (engage them), while others may need someone to believe in them, in their goals, and in their vision, spurring them on to take the plunge (encourage them). Meanwhile, others have the vision, but aren't equipped with the know-how, needs, and knowledge to live out their vision (education). The last two essentials (equipping and empowering) sometimes get mixed up with one another. Some leaders believe that their job is finished when the person is equipped with the necessary tools to complete the task. However, equipping and empowering should be kept entirely separate from one another. Equipping is a positive thing and sets the stage for great things to happen, whereas the final step is when all the essentials align and come together in the form of an opportunity (empowerment). I wish I could write about all of them at once, but it would be to overwhelming. So I chose to focus on the the one that I think applies to the most people and the most people can be empowered to use in their leadership journey. The Encouragement Factor: Give Me One More Inch focuses on the power and importance of encouragement, because I believe this is where the journey to empowerment really gains traction. The Encouragement Factor: Give Me One More Inch focuses on the foundation for empowerment, which is encouragement. Encouragement is one of the 5 Essentials of Empowerment, that can completely transform the direction of a person's life! Through my years of leading, coaching, and working with people of all demographics, I've noticed that most people just need a little encouraging. Most people genuinely want to do well and are willing to put in the work, but often feel hopeless because they do not see a clear path of how they can participate in what some call the American Dream. So as you read this book, you will find yourself challenged to "give just one more inch".

Book Description
The New York Times bestseller that gives readers a paradigm-shattering new way to think about motivation from the author of When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing Most people believe that the best way to motivate is with rewards like money—the carrot-and-stick approach. That's a mistake, says Daniel H. Pink (author of To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Motivating Others). In this provocative and persuasive new book, he asserts that the secret to high performance and satisfaction-at work, at school, and at home—is the deeply human need to direct our own lives, to learn and create new things, and to do better by ourselves and our world. Drawing on four decades of scientific research on human motivation, Pink exposes the mismatch between what science knows and what business does—and how that affects every aspect of life. He examines the three elements of true motivation—autonomy, mastery, and purpose-and offers smart and surprising techniques for putting these into action in a unique book that will change how we think and transform how we live.

Book Description
There are many reasons to be curious about the way people learn, and the past several decades have seen an explosion of research that has important implications for individual learning, schooling, workforce training, and policy. In 2000, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition was published and its influence has been wide and deep. The report summarized insights on the nature of learning in school-aged children; described principles for the design of effective learning environments; and provided examples of how that could be implemented in the classroom. Since then, researchers have continued to investigate the nature of learning and have generated new findings related to the neurological processes involved in learning, individual and cultural variability related to learning, and educational technologies. In addition to expanding scientific understanding of the mechanisms of learning and how the brain adapts throughout the lifespan, there have been important discoveries about influences on learning, particularly sociocultural factors and the structure of learning environments. How People Learn II: Learners, Contexts, and Cultures provides a much-needed update incorporating insights gained from this research over the past decade. The book expands on the foundation laid out in the 2000 report and takes an in-depth look at the constellation of influences that affect individual learning. How People Learn II will become an indispensable resource to understand learning throughout the lifespan for educators of students and adults.

Book Description
Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.
