Newly Released, “The New Strong” Collection of Online Workshops. Leading Edge of Energy Spirituality


Just released on 8-17-20 at the Rose Rosetree website, New Strong Collection of Workshops comes from a thought leader with a proven track record. Now this innovative workshop can lead becoming so much stronger.

At the leading edge of Energy Spirituality, these workshops explain how to best adjust to life in the Age of Awakening. Granted, more people remember hype from 2012…. Afterward, most people felt disappointed. They even felt cheated.

What didn’t they know, according to Rosetree? How there really was a worldwide Shift on December 21, 2012.

Since then, Rosetree has played a leadership role in pointing out new problems –and new solutions – for living in this Age of Awakening. Using precision skills she’s developed as a world-renowned expert at energetic literacy.

Knowledge in these new workshops can help you to grow extra fast, with personal growth and spiritual awakening. (Yes, even during this time of coronavirus pandemic.)

Already Rosetree has made her mark as a thought leader by obtaining 10 trademarks, winning teaching awards, and having two of her books selected by a major book club (One Spirit, a division of the Book-of-the-Month Club).

According to this teacher, “I’ve had the privilege of introducing the world to many totally new systems for Self Improvement. But this new set of online workshops is special. The last time I felt this way about bringing important knowledge into the world happened in 2003. When I wrote the first book about Empath Empowerment®.” That launched an entire field. For instance, Amazon now sells 4,000 books for empaths.

Even though Rosetree is located in Virginia, you can feel like you’ve got the world’s expert right in your home. Just as close as your computer or mobile phone.

How can living The New Strong help you to gain a stronger career? Stronger relationships? And a stronger sense of self?

To answer that question — learn more about the new workshop — check out The New Strong Free Intro at Rose Rosetree’s website.

Or interview Rosetree, a veteran of 1,000+ media interviews. Her work has been praised in The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Catholic Standard.

Couldn’t you use more strength — even more inspiration — during this coronavirus pandemic?

Author, Leader and Coach Omar L. Harris releases ‘The Servant Leader’s Manifesto’


Author, Leader Coach Omar L. Harris announces the release of his new book, “The Servant Leader’s Manifesto” that emphasizes why it’s time for “Leadership 3.0” with new tools.

“Leaders need to inspire, engage, align and coach to bring out the brilliance in individuals and teams by listening intently, promoting collaboration, and generously sharing credit for success.” – Omar L. Harris, Bestselling Author of “The Servant Leader’s Manifesto”

Award-Winning and Bestselling Author, Leader, Coach and former pharmaceutical executive Omar L. Harris announces the release of his new book “The Servant Leader’s Manifesto” that Kirkus Reviews describes as “carefully researched, tightly written, and timely leadership advice.” Based on 20+ years of corporate leadership experience around the world, Harris explains why it’s time for “a new revolution” and “Leadership 3.0” that shifts away from top-down hierarchies to servant leadership where organizations empower those in closest proximity to the end customers to become their higher self.

“The Servant Leader’s Manifesto” (Intent Books April 2020) builds on the principles Harris laid out in “Leader Board: The DNA of High Performance Teams” (TPC Books April 2019). Instead of running organizations based on egos, Harris emphasizes, “Leaders need to inspire, engage, align and coach to bring out the brilliance in individuals and teams by listening intently, promoting collaboration, and generously sharing credit for success.”

Reflecting on his WHY for writing this book, Harris emphasizes, “Improving employee engagement is deeply personal to me. I have seen and experienced the damage that toxic leadership does to people every day. With only 15-30% of the global workforce engaged at work—it’s time to start talking about the well-known problem and advance to practical solutions. The good news is that servant leadership offers to managers willing to invest and adapt, the tools to fully engage, activate, and enable the employees of today and tomorrow.”

The author outlines six principles of servant leadership that present a compelling, inspiring, and actionable argument in a refreshingly authentic voice for developing effective teams. Harris’ book is written primarily for new managers, supervisors, and anyone considered middle management. This focus is based on a strong belief that change needs to come from this level of the organization and not top-down.

Readers will learn:

  • How servant leadership starts from within.
  • How servant leadership requires a radical shift in attitude related to the leader’s role.
  • How to wield the power of positive psychology.
  • Why team talent outweighs individual talent every time, and how to unlock it.
  • How to reframe the ‘game’ of business for your team and organization.
  • What love has to do with leadership.

And during this election year with a global pandemic, social unrest and economic challenges, Harris emphasizes; “Trust is the currency of Leadership 3.0 because we are living through arguably one of the most tumultuous ages in history.” Harris adds, “I represent the people being managed, many who are currently checked out and under-represented. I want to keep leaders accountable.”

In support of key leadership principles, Harris also provides lessons learned from experts, including Donald O. Clifton (introduced positive psychology), Patrick Lencioni (demonstrated the importance of trust for team performance), John C. Maxwell (who wrote blueprints for modern team leadership), Jim Collins (who disrupted leadership status quo with well researched insights) and Simon Sinek (TEDx Speaker who showcased the importance of your WHY, and placing mission and purpose ahead of profits).

Readers can find “The Servant Leader’s Manifesto” on Amazon, Target, and Walmart.

Super Senior Athlete Author and Activist Bonnie Frankel Helps Others During These Uncertain Times Being a Positive Role Model and a True Hero and Releases Her New Book


Bonnie Frankel Author Athlete and Activist

“During these challenging times people are looking for creative ways to keep motivated, and break feelings of depression. By identifying your personal element type,stated in my book,you’ll not only find the right exercise routine, you’ll stick with it, and maintain fitness for the rest of your life.

What makes a hero? That is a very important question, with more than one answer. “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” (Joseph Campbell) “A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown”. (Tom Hanks) “A hero is no braver than an ordinary person, but he or she is brave five minutes longer.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). All of these statements can easily be said about Bonnie Frankel, super athlete, author and activist who at 75-years old is still breaking the rules, while continuing to remain young in body, mind and spirit. She is truly a woman of inspiration who has accomplished much by doing the extraordinary.

While most seniors are huddled indoors during the Covid-19 pandemic and quarantine, Bonnie Frankel is leading the way. She is releasing her new book, Bonnie’s Theory – Finding the Right Exercise, and is teaching and motivating people about how to remain positive, calm and healthy during these uncertain times.

No stranger to adversity, she is a true survivor. In 1993 Bonnie singlehandedly changed an NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) rule, and was the oldest female to compete in a Division 1 collegiate sport, now known as “The Bonnie Rule”. She had also faced breast cancer, divorce, a suicide attempt, hip replacement, and homelessness, but overcame it all by self-rehabilitation through exercise.

Crossing her path when she was an older student returning to college, was her running instructor Olympic champion Tommie Smith. He along with athlete John Carlos had raised their fists in a black power salute after winning the gold and bronze medals in the 1968 Olympics in the 200-meter run, reminiscent of today’s Black Lives Matter movement. Tommie saw true talent in Bonnie, and recommended that she compete in track as he noticed her “fast feet”. He became her mentor and coach, and told Bonnie that she would be “The George Foreman of running.”

Later when she was 60, and after undergoing a hip replacement due to Sickle Cell Anemia (Bo Jackson’s Disease), Bonnie had a chance introduction to meet John Carlos who was friends with Tommie Smith. He was so impressed with her ability and in her changing an NCAA rule that he decided to coach her to qualify for the Olympic trials in 2004.

Today with the Black Lives Matter movement in full swing, along with the Covid-19 crisis pandemic, and the presidential election right around the corner, Bonnie is no stranger to hard times, challenging personal difficulties, and triumphs.

Her latest project is to bring awareness to raise social security income so that current generations can live more comfortably in the world. This is especially important during these tough times when many people can’t afford food, housing, or the cost of living. Recently, senators Schumer, Warren and Wyden have unveiled a plan to raise these benefits by $200 during Covid-19 through 2021.

According to Bonnie Frankel, “People can’t survive by living off their social security benefits alone. They should be able to live comfortably without fearing poverty. The current system doesn’t work. The cost of living has exceeded many people’s ability to properly take care of themselves.”

USA Today once wrote that if ever there were a made for TV movie, “The life and times of Bonnie Frankel” is it.

New Online Tutorial Referee Your Life Launches Virtual Education Courses on Self Improvement


Referee Your Life

“To develop a quality that you lack, that you wish to have, apply the “Be, Do and Have” principle. Which goes, to be the person you want to be, you will have to do what they do how they do it and then you will have what they have.

Acclaimed self-improvement coach Cordell Davenport has recently announced the official launch of his new online tutorial Referee Your Life. At a time when classroom education has taken a backseat because of the pandemic, this new platform will offer virtual courses to help trainees take charge of their lives with Cordell’s proven strategies of self discovery.

The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.

“Following the need of the hour, I am delighted to offer a number of self improvement courses via my new online tutorial Referee Your Life. The course materials containing several modules will be sent via email and the students can learn at their own pace,” said Cordell.

The online courses offered via Referee Your Life are built around several modules where the trainees are required to answer certain questions related to their mindset. Some of these questions include:


  • Life priorities of the trainee if he/she had just five years to live
  • Specific things that need to occur for the trainee for him/her to feel successful
  • The life the trainee visualizes when he/she daydreams
  • The way the trainee wants to be thought of and described by others.
  • The person the trainee admires the most and three of his/her qualities the trainee would want to copy.
  • Things the trainee wants in his/her career in addition to money.
  • The trainee’s own view about his/her greatest strengths
  • The trainee’s description about the challenges faced in life by individuals that are not confident.

According to Cordell, self-improvement is all about achieving clarity, confidence, competence, concentration, and character. Through his courses, Cordell people achieve all these qualities. He also advices his students to focus on their thoughts, disciplines they want to keep, and the people they associate with.

“To develop a quality that you lack, that you wish to have, apply the “Be, Do and Have” principle. Which goes, to be the person you want to be, you will have to do what they do how they do it and then you will have what they have. So how can you be like someone you admire? Well copy their actions, hobbies, qualities, belong to their same associations, read the books they read….Basically “copy and paste” them into your life,” Cordell said.

When Covid-19 and Racial Injustice Affect Your Psyche, Supportiv Shows You How To Move from Coping to Healing


Virtual hug for you as you start the healing process

Virtual hug for you as you start the healing process

When most of us think about our mental wellbeing, we think about coping… Trauma, stress, and toxic relationships are examples of struggles where coping may inadvertently prevent healing.

With Covid-19 and the racial injustice brought into the light by the Black Lives Matter movement, the world has changed, and there’s no going back. In confronting our discomfort during 2020, we have a choice between coping or healing. While coping mechanisms help us temporarily manage emotional struggles, healing is the approach we should strive for. Lasting wellbeing and emotional strength requires a continued effort towards healing.

Supportiv, the peer support network, has published a thoughtful new collection of articles, providing practical suggestions and how-to stepping stones for the more overwhelming parts of the emotional healing process. Supportiv articles and tips also surface in real-time inside its 24/7 peer support chats. By typing a few words in response to the question: “What’s your struggle?” users are matched in under a minute to topic-specific peer-to-peer group chats for anonymous support for whatever’s on your mind – from communication conflict or burnout and parenting challenges while stuck at home, to loneliness, anxiety, and depression.

As the world hits us with more bad news by the day, we owe it to ourselves to at least consider whether we have personal healing to do.

Helena Plater-Zyberk, Supportiv Co-Founder and CEO, compares coping and healing:

“What’s the difference between coping–as most of us do–and healing? Coping helps keep things from getting worse. When you cope, your underlying struggle is still there, and it feels like you’re just getting by. Healing addresses the issue head on to actively make yourself feel better. When you heal, you are taking steps to change your situation or perspective and finding new ways to live, even if it takes longer overall.”

The new Supportiv collection includes articles on boundaries, trauma, healthy relationships, and accepting the reality of your situation. The titles, intended to make healing easier, include:

1. From Coping To Healing: Making The Transition

2. Recover Your Sense Of Self In Order To Heal

3. Healing From Injustice And Channeling Righteous Anger

4. How To Know Your Boundaries And Assert Them Without Guilt

5. It’s Hard To Heal While Swimming In Self Blame

6. Does My Insurance Cover Mental Health? Help For You Or A Friend

7. Suffering: Why Do We Feel Emotional Pain?

8. NC: How To Go No Contact Without Guilt

9. Rejection Sensitivity: Signs, Causes, and Healing

10. What Is Depersonalization, And How Does It Relate To Trauma?

11. “I’m Baby.” Own The Mood To Stop Helplessness

12. Toxic Shame and All Its Friends: Panic, Paralysis, and Isolation

Supportiv Co-Founder Pouria Mojabi points out how our control over a situation impacts whether we cope or heal:

“When most of us think about our mental wellbeing, we think about coping. Coping strategies are lifelines in situations we can’t control, or when we just need to stabilize. Trauma, stress, and toxic relationships are examples of struggles where coping may inadvertently prevent healing. Getting through these kinds of struggles is daunting yet possible through continued effort, and with ongoing support.”

Find topics that speak to your personal situation at https://www.supportiv.com/categories/healing, with new content and new peers to connect with on each visit.

Supportiv has already enabled over 500,000 users to feel less lonely, anxious, stressed, misunderstood, and hopeless through its moderator-guided peer support chats with AI-driven content and resource recommendations. The peer support network is available instantly, and is free for your first 24 hours, at http://www.supportiv.com.

New Book Offers Proven Strategies for Dealing With Change and Upheaval


As work and career move people in new and unanticipated directions, a lack of purpose can be debilitating.

Freiling Publishing announces the release of “Clarify. Simplify. Amplify.: A Coach Approach to Making Your Dreams Come True,” by nationally recognized life and business coach, Gary L. Crawford.

In this new book Crawford shares how to bring more focus and stability, both personally and professionally, on a path toward greater purpose. Created specifically for business professionals, entrepreneurs, and others who want to either start or grow a business or organization, Crawford leans on his successful business coaching experience to communicate his acclaimed lessons on purpose. He guides the reader down a path toward in-depth discovery of one’s own life objective, showing how purpose births more clarity and effectiveness. 

Crawford writes that everyone has a purpose in life, yet most people are not moving with intention toward their purpose. They find themselves stagnating, never achieving their fullest potential, either personally or professionally. During times of chaos and uncertainty, this lack of purpose can become especially challenging as work and career move people in new directions, often unanticipated. As our world and country experiences upheaval, many individuals find themselves forced into new directions and with new purpose. This book helps the reader explore how to manage change in purpose and to bring more clarity by simplifying and amplifying plans.

The principles Crawford offers in his new book have been implemented by small to large organizations, including nationally recognized brands. He also shares his own journey of self-discovery as it relates to purpose, with engaging narrative and real-life examples. 

“This is the kind of book you’ll want to read with pen and highlighter in hand,” says Tom Freiling, publisher, and best-selling author. “Each page is packed-full of wisdom for every aspect of life.” Freiling reports that while many books in the business genre are intended to reach business professionals exclusively, Crawford’s book will also find interest among readers who are not necessarily looking for help solely with their careers. However, the applied principles will benefit readers both personally and professionally. This book is a valuable tool in relating to readers experiencing the need for personal change in various other areas.

Blake Mallen Launches ‘Alive by Design’ Podcast to Wake People Up to Their Purpose and Potential


Blake Mallen’s ‘Alive by Design’ podcast wakes people up to what they’re ‘meant to’ do in life

“Now is the perfect time for people to wake up to what they’re meant to do and who they’re meant to be.” — Blake Mallen

Blake Mallen, a billion-dollar-brand entrepreneur, TED Talk speaker and community marketing expert, has just launched his podcast series, ALIVE by Design, created to ignite people’s purpose, passion and potential so they can shift from ‘being’ alive to ‘feeling’ truly alive. Intentionally released during the time of the coronavirus pandemic when anxiety, fear and self-doubt are seemingly at an all-time high, the show speaks to those who feel “stuck” in life and want to find a more fulfilling and meaningful way to live.

“The seeds for this podcast really go back about twenty years ago when a mentor asked me ‘why’ I was working so hard to get the grades, the accolades, the high powered job so that I could be seen as ‘successful.’ My answer of ‘because that’s what I’m supposed to do,’ hit me hard and ignited a lifelong journey to pursue a ‘life off the script’ and search for answers to creating a more meaningful, fulfilling and impactful life,” said Mallen. “Those lessons learned and insight gained over two decades evolved into my mission to ‘shift the script’ and, later, a TED Talk about just how to do that. And now, my ALIVE by Design podcast was created to bring that message to even more people who are wanting to make the shift.”

ALIVE by Design features an enlightening mix of live shows, conversations with the world’s most impactful people, and inspired ideas and thoughts—all providing transformation principles that help people to discover what they’re ‘meant to’ do and who they’re ‘meant to’ become. The show provides a variety of format types and locations, from #WalkWithMe episodes walking alongside Mallen on hikes in the hills, to the more formal studio style #QuarantineConversations that feature Mallen and guests discussing trending topics and issues. Show guests include high-profile and relevant thought leaders, industry experts, creatives, entrepreneurs, advisors and influencers in the business, leadership, marketing, lifestyle, wellness and entertainment industries.

The show has already hit the top of trending podcasts list, including #4 in Apple Podcasts — Italy for Entrepreneurship category and Top 50 in U.S. Entrepreneurship category.

“Now is the perfect time for people to wake up to what they’re meant to do and who they’re meant to be,” said Mallen. “I designed this show to help others not only ‘get through’ difficult times but also ‘grow through’ periods of uncertainty and challenge them to use their gifts and talents in ways that positively impact others.”

The ALIVE by Design podcast is now available on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and Google Podcast. For information about the show, visit alivebydesign.com and subscribe at alivebydesign.com/subscribe.
