CSC-Broward Trainer Authors E-Book for Transitioning Youth Kristen Mackey, a longtime trainer for the Children’s Services Council of Broward County, has released I AM Worthy of Greatness, available as a free download (link below). Authored with Scott Baker, the book was written especially for young adults aging out of foster care at SOS Children’s Villages – Florida in Coconut Creek. It is applicable, however, to transitioning youth everywhere and has already received positive feedback from readers. It even inspired one to launch a creative project. The short book is about healing, clarifying and creating a life aligned with one’s passion and vision. It also includes practical advice and useful links in the toolbox at the end. “I feel the book was a huge inspirational support for young adults who have aged out of foster care,” said LaShonda Cross, Aftercare Coordinator at SOS Children’s Villages. “ It can be used to assist each individual to identify with their inner emotions. The title of the book not only speaks esteem to the young adults but it allows each of them to reflect on the fact that they are worth greatness.” Evan J. Goldman, Esq.

I have continued to enjoy teaching for Franklin Covey as they are a world class group of professionals with some of the best content available today. ProEdge Skills and I will work together in New Orleans and Little Rock for a exceptionally-designed Service program by Mary Sandro. I have enjoyed another round of presentation coaching with The Nyman Group for the soon-to-be law partners at DLA Piper in Dallas – always a wonderful and successful time. New creative courses have been developed and a schedule posted soon. Podcasts will also be available. As you can see I have been quite busy and not the classic “blogger”. I have also made some changes and removed most news items in the archive so that PocketSeminars offers tidbits to assist you keeping my “news” to a minimum. Happy creating…

Creating and delivering the seminar Building High Performance Teams for The Children’s Services Council of Broward County was sheer delight. Not only were the staff at CSC an excellent group to work with, I always find myself having a ball with the participants. The seminar focused on the three keys to strong leadership and how that plays a powerful role in building teams that impact organizations. This group was so enthusiastic that a great part of the morning morphed into a valuable Q & A session in which leaders shared their experiences and enjoyed each others ideas. Working with groups like CSC make up for those days when the LCD projector fails and coffee does not show. They are simply a pleasure to partner with – everytime! Thanks again Roxanne, you are the best!!! Future seminars for CSC include a repeat performance of Building High Performance Teams, and two additional sessions on Management Skills.
