Naming the Incubus is a book that was written for husbands who find themselves without an informative guide that would help them to understand the woundedness, hurt and pain associated with childhood sexual abuse.

This book seeks to help husbands understand that their anger, rage and desire to avenge what has happened to their wives may cause the survivor-spouse to become defensive and angry. Husbands do not generally understand that the after math of abuse and the abuse itself is often present tense in the lives of their wives.

If husbands want to truly help their wives to overcome the hurt and shame of childhood sexual abuse they must change first. They must become men fully committed to biblical discipleship. Husbands must put to death through the instrumentality of the Spirit the flesh-man (se/fish desires) within and become the pneuma-man (other centered) within who understands all things-including mastery of self with a wife who must face a formidable journey to wholeness in Christ herself.

The United States has been a melting pot of cultures and races, with immigrants coming in from different countries.  Rather than celebrating cultural diversity, corporate America and business are established to be blind to different nationalities to avoid awkward conversations about racial issues.  However, this kind of corporate environment potentially damages employees’ self-esteem and individual ideas about their corporate self.  That’s why in this thesis, author Dr. Ralph Steele presentsSave Millions With Conflict Coaching A Cross-Cultural Conflict Coaching Methodology and Model to construct an effective conflict coaching paradigm to help conflict coaches in resolving conflict cases by taking into consideration the cultural factors.

When companies face the possibility of a labor issue of other problems related to their workforce, they air out these grievances through Alternative Dispute Resolutions (ADR).  This traditional method of handling disputes is sometimes effective; sometimes, it just breaks down into a hopeless case.  There are actually several conflict coaching models; each with its unique attributes to help increase the likelihood that the interpersonal conflicts will be resolved.  But these coaching styles also face some major challenges.  And to be effective coaches, the candidates must undergo training and strive to develop better ways to mend corporate conflicts.

In this study, the author focused on the different experiences of forty employees of Hispanic culture.  He conducted a quantitative research through exploratory questionnaires and statistical analysis.  Aside from giving voice to the Hispanic culture, the author also aims to present another viewpoint different from that of the dominant culture.  The results and conclusions of the author’s intensive work are all presented in this book.

As see on Lifetime Television’s The Balancing Act!

In Self-Empowerment 101, we decode beliefs and interpretations that interfere with manifesting the life you are wanting; we investigate the real hostage takers, the ones that completely sabotages any movement beyond the edge of your comfort zone—the fear of personal power, the fear of success, and the fear of failure; and explore your stand for invulnerability, which limits any willingness to reach beyond your safety zone. We also investigate hope, faith and knowing as traveling companions. Empowering you to be with what most confronts you with integrity and accountability is the bottom line for self-empowered living.

By revealing the specific beliefs that create resistance to being powerful and successful you then are at choice to shift that belief to something far more empowering. This allows you to have what you say you want with ease and effortlessness, even if it seems impossible.
