From Pain to Gain: Changing your perspective on the negatives of life, and using pain to your advantage By Dr. Lisa Cooney

Is there still pain lingering in the background of your being, even though youâve freed yourself from the infliction? Have you been told who you should be, or how you should behave? Do you feel like youâre walking on eggshells, but canât seem to push yourself onto a new path? I have experienced many of these moments of pain in the past. I simply chose to believe lies for far too long, that disempowered meâ¦That had me agreeing with others opinions of me that were UNTRUE.

Iâve emphatically demanded that me, my body, and the universe, create and empower me, as I choose to be. I speak up for those that canât yet. I live for the eradication of abuse off of this planet. So, let us explore and uncover, what YOU can gain, from the pain of the lies that were embedded in you, that blurred the definition of the TRUE YOU. What could life be, if you chose to change the perspective on the negatives of life, and used the experiences for your advantage?

Letâs shift from pain to GAIN.

5-Keys to Better Engagement! by Luis Vicente Garcia

There are a few concepts in management and leadership that will constantly make an important difference in your company. They are teamwork, strategy and vision. Companies as we know are formed by groups of people with complimentary knowledge and abilities who interconnect daily.

As leaders and managers we strive to make our teams better, to be creative, to improve performance and to reach excellence. And in many cases it comes as a result of high level engagement.

Engagement is an emotional connection between the employee and the organization. It comes from trust, better communications, abilities, contributions and a series of high key elements that combine together and will help every organization improve, adapt and change with flexibility.

Join me on this interesting program as I interview business coach and corporate trainer Hans Trupp, as we discover the 5-keys to better engagement.

Spring ReBirth & Book Bash Blow Out!

Empowerment

Welcome to the rebirth of spring!

Last Month was National Reading Month. One of our BTSYA volunteers,Alex Pawlakos, spent many hours doing research on literacy rates in our nation and unfortunately, found that illiteracy is still a major problem. U.S. Department of Education research shows that more than 60 percent of Americaâs prison inmates are illiterate and that 85 percent of all juvenile offenders have reading problems. Two-thirds of Americaâs children living in poverty have no books at home, and the number of families living in poverty is on the rise. Three out of four food stamp recipients perform in the lowest two literacy levels and 90% of welfare recipients are high school dropouts.
Thirty-three percent of 4th grade public school students are at or below the âBasicâ level of reading tests. Twenty-six percent of children who were read to three or four times in the last week by a family member recognized all letters of the alphabet. Where parent involvement is low, the classroom mean average is 46 points below the national average. Where involvement is high, classrooms score 28 points above the national averageâa gap of 74 points. Families play an important role in their childrenâs reading success and access to books is a critical investment in the future of our children.

On Saturday, April 25th, Be the Star You Are!Â® is hosting a Book Bash Blow Out whereby books for all ages will be deeply discounted. We hope you can attend, but if you canât consider buying a case of books to donate to an organization, school, or library to help get books into the hands of those who need them most.Â All sales are tax deductible donations to Be the Star You Are!Â® charity and when you spend $19.99 or more, youâll be given a FREE book. Thanks to 5 A Rent A Space for collaborating in creating this event and to our sponsor, Brooks Olbrys and Childrenâs Success Unlimited. Read more about this fun event below. Register for FREE.
