For People of Strength, Soul, and Spirit: Seven Guidelines for Life & Career Success

Can the struggles and victories of the African American story be used as a guide to achieve success? Are you ready to start a personal reconstruction of your life and career goals? Then read this book! For People of Strength, Soul, and Spirit— part history lesson, part motivational speech and part results-driven, wonderfully blends these elements along with the tapestry of the Black in America experience, to create practical messages and current-day realities for a more fulfilling life and career. Deborah L. Parker has robustly compiled Seven Guidelines in this book, warmly woven together as a trifecta of strength, soul, and spirit. Cemented in the use of the word ‘know’, these guidelines represent timeless advice based on knowledge, well-being, and faith narratives as a ‘way station’ for courageously launching forward. Warping time with the rhythmic voices and virtues of the ‘old folks’ to present day, Parker lays out these achievement principles in a simple, yet riveting way. By acknowledging the painful parts of what’s behind us, she movingly shapes those chronicles as foundational memories, using them as leverage to push through today’s adversities. What do you get here? Formatted in sections like a workbook, Parker virtually coaches you with her writing. You’ll identify your unique DNA (delivered natural ability), strengths, motivators and resources, along with essential tools that support practical life and career solutions. In this book, Parker, a cultural buff, Army veteran, and Chief Inspirer of The DPJ Training Group, brings over twenty years of work in career, leadership and personal development programs to skillfully make the case for balanced success action in a very real and encouraging way.
