In this book, a four-time at-sea commander shares his twenty-plus years of executive experience, leading across global expanses, to model how to connect leaders and aspiring leaders of disparate cultures and social backgrounds to move in lockstep to achieve optimal success.

Championing Organizational Wellness affords the blueprint for any leader anywhere to navigate blind spots to see through cultural differences and empower all groups through a coaching organization.

He uses coaching as a platform for connecting coach and organization members so both may share a common perspective and an expanded vision for optimal organizational performance. The book demonstrates a methodology of organizational development and organizational sustainment, which yields organizational wellness.

Truly a fascinating work suggesting organizational wellness is possible and presenting a means for achieving it! --Dr. Diane Wiater Dr. Anthony Simmons's invigorating work offers exceptional methodologies to help align coaching and leadership attributes. Based on his extensive military service including four at-sea commands and "leadership engagements and visits to sixty-three countries," Anthony's book offers practical insights to find true north using his coaching triangulation model. Drawing from extensive research, including a literature review and scriptural integration, Anthony's model "fosters a platform to facilitate organizational development and organizational sustainment as the aggregate of two realizes organizational wellness." Dr. Simmons's coaching triangulation model is comprehensive in structure and substance with proven viability by over twenty-five of his "understudies who attained positions as at-sea commanders." As we continue to maneuver turbulent times of uncertainty and organizational wellness vulnerabilities, Dr. Simmons's book offers far-reaching opportunities to close existing gaps between operational tensions. This is a "must read" for military and organizational leaders alike at the local, state, national and global levels. --Dr. Virginia Richardson

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future" looks to both the past and the future as it examines the foundational work of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) and the legacy of its 1996 report. It assesses the Commission’s influence on subsequent milestones in Indigenous-Canada relations and considers our prospects for a constructive future. RCAP’s five-year examination of the relationships of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples to Canada and to non-Indigenous Canadians resulted in a new vision for Canada and provided 440 specific recommendations, many of which informed the subsequent work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Considered too radical and difficult to implement, RCAP’s recommendations were largely ignored, but the TRC reiterates that longstanding inequalities and imbalances in Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples remain and quite literally calls us to action. With reflections on RCAP’s legacy by its co-chairs, leaders of national Indigenous organizations and the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and leading academics and activists, this collection refocuses our attention on the groundbreaking work already performed by RCAP. Organized thematically, it explores avenues by which we may establish a new relationship, build healthy and powerful communities, engage citizens, and move to action.

This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 2037 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filipino Americans are one of the three largest Asian American groups in the United States and the second largest immigrant population in the country. Yet within the field of Asian American Studies, Filipino American history and culture have received comparatively less attention than have other ethnic groups. Over the past twenty years, however, Filipino American scholars across various disciplines have published numerous books and research articles, as a way of addressing their unique concerns and experiences as an ethnic group. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Filipina/x/o American Studies, the first on the topic of Filipino American Studies, offers a comprehensive survey of an emerging field, focusing on the Filipino diaspora in the United States as well as highlighting issues facing immigrant groups in general. It covers a broad range of topics and disciplines including activism and education, arts and humanities, health, history and historical figures, immigration, psychology, regional trends, and sociology and social issues.
