The 30-Minute Leader: Eclectic Leadership (a new model) - Today's diverse workforce demands a leadership model that is innovative, flexible, and motivational. The concept of diversity yields themes that for the most part are common sense, but important to remember! Explore brief summaries of these themes and the lessons learned for each from 20 diverse leaders (11 females and 9 males--4 Asians, 3 African Americans, 3 Creoles, 4 Hispanics, 3 Native Americans, and 3 Whites), participants in Dr. Girard's study, Multiethnic perspectives on leadership and diversity in organizations.

Diversity is U & Me (high school survival guide 2nd edition) - The tween and teen years are at the top of the list of difficult stages in human development! As soon as they are told "no," this group's initial feeling is, "S/he hates me!," so of course the safest defensive response is, "I hate you!" Compound the physical and hormonal changes occuring in these young people with the plethora of negative influences that permeate their world (peer pressure, substance abuse, sex, violence) and it's a no brainer why suicide, truancy and delinquency remain options that appeal to too many of our troubled youth. Exploring and understanding the concept of diversity and its inherent themes and lessons of self-esteem/identity, stereotyping, perception, and oppression, can cast significant light into this persistent darkness. Learn how to identify your authentic self; develop healthy self-esteem; recognize the deceptions of perceptions; avoid the negative effects of stereotyping; and diminish oppression. 

Teacher's Manual -- May be purchased from Dr. Ness. The Manual contains lesson plans that are aligned with AZ state standards and complements the High School Survival Guide. It also contains worksheets and exercises that reinforce lessons in The Guide.

Diversity is Me (survival guide for people of mixed race) - As human beings we all share a spirit that demands identity,acknowledgement and regard. It is in the attempts to meet these demands that we encounter road blocks toward self-discovery. Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? As we seek answers to these questions, perceptions come alive and often trick us. The results: We form nebulous identities. Our self-esteem becomes skewed. We stereotype. We oppress and thus cultivate oppressors. Compound these innate human tendencies with the confusion and uncertainty we people of mixed ancestry face, and the challenge can become emotionally insidious. The purpose of this book is to acknowledge people of mixed race and to encourage you to embrace EVERY part of yourself, and in the process cultivate a healthy self-esteem and inner peace. This books is not about passing; it is about Being. Purchase the ebook below.
