Download or read book Jockey Daughter written by Tracey Cooper and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most children growing up cannot say their fathers were jockeys who rode race horses for a living. With that profession comes excitement, privilege, community status, and a vast array of Hall of Fame athletes and a host of trainers, agents, stable workers and jockeys frequently visiting the home. That was the life author Tracey Cooper and her siblings experienced. But while adoring fans cheered her father across the finish line, her mother was beating her and her six siblings within an inch of their lives. They endured her unbelievable anger, resentment, and negative energy until they were able to leave. In Coopers home, the abusive events were oddly intertwined with the very public aspect of the professional sport of kings and the sheer excitement and magnitude of the horse racing industry. In Jockey Daughter, she shares a poignant, firsthand look at the personal side of horse racing and the secreted physical abuse that happens in so many families regardless of their economic status. For Cooper and her brothers and sisters, the abuse was a hushed secret, and no one, except for a few, attempted to stop it.

Download or read book Coaching Culture written by Susanne Knowles and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reports on an empirically-based, theoretical model of coaching culture development over four stages. This is the first model of coaching culture development that goes beyond the listing of stages and strategies in the academic literature based on pracademic experience. It is a dynamic, process model which informs practitioners of how to develop a coaching culture in organisations. Each stage is explained in terms of how coaching is conceptualised by organisational leaders, the motivation for introducing coaching into the organisation, the organisational members who are the recipients of coaching, and those who are involved in delivering the coaching at each stage. The model contributes to the academic literature and the growing calls for coaching to become a discipline in its own right.

Book excerpt: Tricia Warren, fresh out of an overseas education, enters the real world beset with the unfinished business of her forebears. Her deceased father may have murdered his second wife, and his estate is now in a rocky state of mismanagement. Her mother's death also left the possibility that there is a family member that Tricia never knew. Fearing for her financial and personal safety, Tricia hires detectives to sort out these lingering mysteries, and as they investigate, it's clear that she faces a situation far direr than she had imagined. Her trust fund could be lost to various persons with eyes on her father's estate and claims on gambling debts he left behind. Her two step-brothers may be players in a drug ring and other shady activities, with designs of their own for the family fortune. And the circumstances of the second wife's death are disturbingly unclear. What had started out as a basic probate case has escalated into something deeply complicated and menacing, even as Tricia strives to hold onto a happy family life. Backtrack Forward is a mystery of family intrigue and dogged detective work in which the stakes are high, the clues elusive, the motives murky, and the outcome anything but obvious.
Download or read book I ve Told Someone written by Tricia Dale and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-10-07 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It took the author just over two years, a tremendous amount of determination and commitment, and lots and lots of practice to become the person she is today. She knew she was getting there when she was walking in the local neighborhood and passed a gang of young children playing in the street. She walked on and heard the pitter patter of tiny footsteps behind her. A little girl, around six years old, patted me on the backside and said, Excuse me, but you're not a real girl are you? She put her perfectly manicured finger to her lips and said, Sshh, don't tell anyone. She kept walking, but as she turned the corner, a shrill voice shrieked out I've told someone Instead of being offended, she burst out laughing. She's since dressed on coaches, trains, buses, and trams. She's dressed in Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield, Blackpool, Carlisle, and London. She's even been round the Houses of Parliament dressed. The world awaits-but is it ready?
Download or read book Tuning with God written by Tricia S. David and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started writing this collection of poems about a year ago. Today is the twenty-second of December 2012. First I was interested in narrating the Gospel in fiction. Somehow the truth is tied to every word from God. So it came to the point of losing reasoning. Shakespeare was a poet, and so was Mozart. The craft is the author's tools. God allows him to inherit his fruits. Very often composure is gifted. Trees seldom grow twisted. Read with reasoning and don't forget understanding. The gift of love is eternal. Love is turned on and is exposed through true light. My prayer is that those who explore these poems learn to dissolve all the compounds and surround them. The mystery of Jesus is grace. These are all found in this very human race.
Download or read book Transforming Organisational Culture Through Coaching written by Dr Susanne Knowles and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organisations continue to look for ways to increase shareholder value. After they downsize and rightsize, leaders look to maximise the return on their human capital investment. Coaching, when delivered throughout the organisation, has been found to be a particularly effective and powerful means of creating transformational, cultural change. Organisations with a growth mentality use coaching to recognise and unleash the potential of all employees. The book is an informative source of practical strategies and mechanisms to successfully develop and embed a coaching culture into an organisation. CEOs, senior executives, organisational leaders and HR professionals will benefit from the structured approach to changing organisational thinking and behaving to bring about cultural change. Leaders can checklist where they are on their journey to embedding a coaching culture and identify any gaps they need to fill, plus the next steps they need to take to become a fully transformed organisation benefitting from increased staff engagement, productivity improvements and the retention of talented staff. Four discrete stages that organisations go through to develop a coaching culture have been identified from my research. These stages relate to organisational leaders' understanding of coaching, motivation for coaching, key drivers of coaching throughout the organisation and the people who deliver the coaching. Processes and strategies for organisations to transition from one stage to the next are detailed. The educational, psychological and management strategies and mechanisms by which organisational leaders learn, grow and behave differently as the organisation transitions from one stage to the next are revealed. Implications for CEO and senior executives, HR professionals and organisational leaders are outlined.
