From Stage Iv to Center Stage


Book Description

From Stage IV to Center Stage is a story of extraordinary courage, strength, and deep spirituality. Denise DeSimones journey began the moment she opened her eyes in a post-op ward after a routine biopsy to determine the pathology of the lump on her neck and was told, You have cancer. A very aggressive cancer in your throat and neck, and you need to move on this immediately. Given three months to live because of stage IV throat and neck cancer (August 2005), to singing the National Anthem before a Red Sox game at Fenway Park in Boston (July 2007), to riding her bicycle eighty-five miles in one day to raise money for childrens cancer research with the Pan Mass Challenge (August 2007) all in less than two years is proof that the unexpected can be achieved. Denise approached cancer differently than most people do. She chose not to battle, cancer; she chose to embrace it and allow it to become her teacher and her sage. Naming her cancer PINan acronym for Pain in the Neck, Denise entered into a dialogue with PIN, gave it a pen, and gave it permission to teach her the lessons she needed to learn. The lessons were rich and enlightening. She learned something deeply critical to healing: self-love. When we love ourselves, we dont want to battle anything. When we love ourselves, we allow our vibration to attract life at a higher frequency: a frequency that promotes healing on all levelsemotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Denise learned that self love is the all-time greatest healer.




The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety


Book Description

This book is the first practical, hands-on guide that shows how leaders can build psychological safety in their organizations, creating an environment where employees feel included, fully engaged, and encouraged to contribute their best efforts and ideas. Fear has a profoundly negative impact on engagement, learning efficacy, productivity, and innovation, but until now there has been a lack of practical information on how to make employees feel safe about speaking up and contributing. Timothy Clark, a social scientist and an organizational consultant, provides a framework to move people through successive stages of psychological safety. The first stage is member safety-the team accepts you and grants you shared identity. Learner safety, the second stage, indicates that you feel safe to ask questions, experiment, and even make mistakes. Next is the third stage of contributor safety, where you feel comfortable participating as an active and full-fledged member of the team. Finally, the fourth stage of challenger safety allows you to take on the status quo without repercussion, reprisal, or the risk of tarnishing your personal standing and reputation. This is a blueprint for how any leader can build positive, supportive, and encouraging cultures in any setting.

Stage 4 Cancer--Gone!


Book Description

This is a true account of a medically documented healing miracle of a woman diagnosed with Stage IV (end stage) breast cancer that had metastasized into her bones, organs and lymph nodes. Given anywhere from three weeks to ninety days to live, through her faith, she was able to find healing without chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. Years later, Shirley is still living free from all cancer and is totally restored. The promises I found in the Word of God are for all those who believe upon Jesus as their Lord - no matter what they have done in the past, whether they have served God all of their life or just cried out to Jesus to save them today. All provision for all our needs, including healing, is available to whosoever will dare to believe God. Impossibilities bow to the name of Jesus. "With God, nothing shall be impossible to them that believe," Mark 9:23. As I immersed myself in the scriptures, my faith grew to new levels; and as I took one step at a time, I soon walked out of the pit of despair into life and life more abundantly. Sometimes, I felt as if I was soaking in the promises, and I would listen to the scriptures and know I was more than an overcomer through Christ Jesus; yet the next days, I would find myself struggling to even quote them against the pain and weakness that I was feeling. It was often as if every promise I would grasp one day would be shaken so severely the next that I had to continue to hear the Word to stand in faith. "But, when you have done all to stand, stand, take a hold of the truth, continue in the Word of God and the truth will set you free" (Ephesians 6:13, John 8:32 compilation). I know and can now say with all my heart that all the promises of God in Christ are "Yes" and "Amen!" God is no respecter of persons; what He has done for me, He has made available for you! Only believe. I pray that as you read this book of my journey you will receive personal insight and reach out to take what has been made
