Introduction:

Laurie Robinson Haden, a trailblazing attorney and acclaimed author, has long been an influential figure in the legal profession. Her impact reverberates not only through her distinguished career but also through her groundbreaking book, “It’s Time to Shine: A Guide for Professionals of Color on How to Advance Their Career.” This Amazon #1 Best Seller chronicles her transformative journey, particularly spotlighting Chapter 6, where Laurie unveils the birth of a pivotal movement that reshaped the landscape for women of color in law.

The Birth of Corporate Counsel of Women of Color:

In 2003, Laurie Robinson Haden, serving as the Assistant General Counsel at CBS Broadcasting, Inc. in New York City, initiated a movement that would redefine the experiences of women of color in the legal sphere. Faced with the isolation and scattered presence of diverse lawyers across firms and corporations, Laurie envisioned a supportive network. This vision materialized during an informal gathering with ten in-house female attorneys of color at a New York City restaurant, laying the foundation for what would later become the Corporate Counsel of Women of Color (CCWC).

A Seed Planted, a Network Grows:

Driven by her faith and belief in small beginnings, Laurie took the reins in creating a directory after the initial meeting. The network swiftly burgeoned from ten attendees to fifty within weeks, expanding to 250 in just a couple of months. Despite the absence of financial support, Laurie invested her personal resources and time, funding the initiative herself. She navigated the task of mailing newsletters and directories, sowing the seeds of connection among diverse women through the law—a venture that has yielded immeasurable dividends.

Success Publications is pleased to introduce the new book, “Spanish to Practical English” by Carol Morter. This bilingual book with a free podcast is written by a retired ELL teacher and her adult students. The book is titled “Practical” for a reason. It helps new immigrants tackle the challenges of living in a new country. In addition to life skills, it includes a large section on occupations- Restaurants, Landscaping, Construction and Housekeeping. Not just vocabulary words, students incorporated their real-life experiences. Not only is it valuable to students, but it also helps employers and government agencies. Most importantly, it is a great teaching tool for nonprofits.

This unique book delves into essential life skills while dedicating a substantial section to various occupations such as Restaurants, Landscaping, Construction, and Housekeeping. What sets it apart is the infusion of real-life experiences from the students, transforming it into a living narrative that resonates beyond the classroom. A valuable resource not only for students but also for employers and government agencies seeking practical insights into the immigrant experience.

Perhaps most notably, “Spanish to Practical English” emerges as an indispensable teaching tool for nonprofits dedicated to empowering and educating communities. In a world where language is a bridge to opportunity, this book stands tall, fostering understanding, bridging gaps, and empowering individuals to thrive in their adopted home.

Volunteer Teacher Focuses on Students’ Needs

Morter is a volunteer teacher at the Latino Community Association in Bend, OR. She could not find a book that addressed the needs of recent immigrant adult learners. She explained that writing the book was easy and hard at the same time.

The students’ input determined the direction of the book, and then subsequent classes became the editors. The book was revised and reorganized many times. 

When asked what was wrong with existing publications, she stated, “Other books were not bilingual and have a free audio component. Plus, they were expensive.” She goes on, “Additionally, their content was boring and not graphically engaging.”

Morter hired a graphic artist to captivate students’ interest. It helps visually explain critical topics to Language Learners.

Why the podcast?

Morter asserts that adult students can’t learn English by going to class once a week. She hired a professional narrator to read most of the book. The students read the English with Spanish translation while listening to the podcast. The narrator pauses so students can repeat the sentences. The focus of the book is on conversation, not grammar. He vividly makes the conversations come alive.

Educational Coordinator Raves About Book

Brent Walters, Educational Coordinator, sums it up. “This book is a lifeline. It is a ‘How to’ for teaching English as a Second Language. Our teachers are volunteers. They don’t want to make lesson plans. Additionally, the book and podcast offer students flexibility when it comes to studying.”

 “Spanish to Practical English” will be featured at the International Book Fair located in Guadalajara, Mexico, from November 24, 2023 – December 3, 2023. It is available at local bookstores. It can also be found on Amazon in both Kindle and hardcopy.

On October 11, 2023, Japan saw the release of Nao Stanton’s eagerly awaited “Chikyu Daibakuro” (Earth Revealed, How to Get Out of the Earth Matrix). Demonstrating its immediate appeal, every copy was snatched up on Amazon before its official premiere, and continues to sell out on other online retailers and as well as stores all over the country. Our feature delves into Stanton’s inspiring trajectory, her singular encounters, and her mission to illuminate the untapped potential in us all.

Nao Stanton’s journey is unlike any other. At birth, she had a near-death experience, being stillborn in Japan. Since her earliest memories, she has been in communication with entities that are outside of this dimension – whether they are referred to as Angels, Gods, spirits, ancestors, dragons, they go by many names in many cultures and religious traditions. These beings have guided her throughout her life, and their influence on her experiences has been nothing short of miraculous.

Growing up, Nao’s unique abilities troubled her. She often doubted herself, even worrying that she may have some mental illness. Still, her life always seemed to work out in her favor. She often hid this fact, even in the environment of Institute Le Rosey, one of the world’s most prestigious boarding schools in the world located in Switzerland, where she studied alongside royalty, celebrities, and the world’s elite. Her closest friends often asked her how she always managed to attain whatever she wanted in life. Nao’s search for answers led her to the study of Clinical Psychology, through which she gained a scholarship opportunity to study a program at Stanford University.

It was at Stanford that Nao found a book in the university library that confirmed her experiences were not products of mental illness. She discovered that her unique gift was indeed the ability to communicate with entities who could not only guide her but also influence the outcomes of her experiences on Earth.

After completing her studies in academia, she began a career in the dynamic world of advertising, Stanton aligned with industry titans, notably orchestrating campaigns for the FIFA World Cup with Dentsu Inc. Yet, her journey was punctuated with seemingly divine interventions, often shielding her against life’s obstacles and tempests. Many of these miracles she outlines in her book. To say she was lucky is an understatement.

Today, Nao Stanton is a mother of three daughters and one son, and has served as CEO of four international companies, and has added being a published Author to her growing resume. Remarkably, she has never advertised or used social media to promote her practice. Yet, people from all over the world, including celebrities, travel to learn from her in Hawaii.

Nao’s sessions, sometimes referred to as a “cosmic boot camp,” are a transformative experience, where she helps individuals discover their origins before arriving on Earth, understand their mission in life, and establish a connection with their own interstellar support system. The results are nothing short of miraculous, as participants unlock their hidden superpowers and experience positive, life-altering changes.

Nao Stanton’s book, “Chikyu Daibakuro,” serves as a guide to her unique approach to life and success. It provides insights into how individuals can see the structure of this Earth and their place in it, to understand their life’s purpose and the forces that influence it, and to harness their potential to achieve remarkable outcomes.

In the harmony of understanding our souls and the strategies of living on the Earth, there lies a universe of success, and Nao Stanton’s journey exemplifies this beautifully. Her experiences and insights have shaped her life and helped her achieve remarkable success in both her personal and professional endeavors.

Through her one on one sessions and her book, Nao is on a mission to share her insights with the world, helping others discover their hidden potential and unleash their own superpowers. Her unique approach to life, business, and love offers a glimpse into the universe of success that exists beyond the Earth’s confines, waiting for those who dare to explore it.

Jonathan N Pruitt, author of The Amber Menhir, has surreptitiously created a fantasy series that eludes the defenses of readers and hastens them into an unexpectedly captivating journey—a journey with purpose. Fans of the ilk of Jordan Peterson and Ayn Rand have perhaps finally found in Pruitt what they’ve been looking for: the next iteration of bold fiction unafraid of tackling major issues in society through blistering metaphor. 

Pruitt’s dark fantasy series, The Shadows of the Monolith, entraps readers in a world of ‘deadly power politics and corruption.’ The Amber Menhir, the series’ first installment of five novels, sets the academic world squarely in its sights, captured in a dark fantasy setting. Readers and thought leaders critical of academia’s stewardship, who’ve been waiting for a piece resembling Animal Farm, were it enveloped in high fantasy’s skin, will have their appetites satiated. 

Pruitt is no stranger to controversy—in fact, the fallen academic courts it. Emboldened by a past as bombastic as any fiction, Pruitt is not apt to apologize for saying what needs to be said. On the contrary, The Amber Menhir appears to seek backlash, without fear, grazing countless sociopolitical nerves within its pages.

Throughout The Amber Menhir, Pruitt uses the concepts of utopia and dystopia as a lens to evaluate societal issues. Pruitt’s prose walks the tightrope of societal advancement with surprising tact too, as someone’s utopia is also their dystopia, or that of just their neighbor’s. Pruitt’s narratives send a meaningful message with conviction: that the advancement of society must be handled carefully, to maintain a balance between differing concepts of utopian and dystopian within a people, and to prevent any one prevailing philosophy from extinguishing the existence of others.

Pruitt is equipped to describe dark academic settings in an addictively entrancing manner. He’s familiar with the practice of using sound logic to convince society about narratives that are critical to their own interests, and it shows in the powerful efficacy of his debut work. After being engulfed in scandal for years, Pruitt faced great adversity in the debut of his fantasy series, including considerable backlash from the academic world prior to and since The Amber Menhir’s release. Yet, it seems Pruitt is not unaccustomed to ignoring adversity, and rather harnesses his talents to help actualize betterment in our society, through allegorical genius, if just barely.

As a result of his academic abilities, Pruitt was recruited to Canada as one of the world’s greatest minds for the country’s 150th birthday. Although this accolade is prestigious, there is no pretense present in the creation of Pruitt’s debut novel. One to write via bar top with creative inebriation, while editing sober–very Hemingway-esque, Pruitt never speaks down to his audience. Instead, The Amber Menhir embraces the reader, like-minded or not, like a trusted companion, fostering the connection needed to convey its twinned messages.

Authentically biting, dark, and playful humor are intricately laced throughout Pruitt’s debut, tying these flavors together with a signature voice that can’t be duplicated. In the end, despite the tale’s sardonic tone, Pruitt appears to treat all sides of our own society with notable respect, like a just literary adjudicator of the state of our society, and where Pruitt believes it should be headed. Whether one agrees with Pruitt or not, what The Shadows of the Monolith attempts is considerable and brave. 

The Amber Menhir is available now. It is not one best suited for those prone to indigestion. But for the strong of stomach, it is a worthy ride.
