Denise says, “I wrote this book, after suffering from depression. I wanted to tell some of the stories, which many of us overlook, including my own. I wanted to paint a clear picture of the realities that many face in this world. Thankfully, writing aids the healing process. It provides an escape. When I look back sometimes, I see the depth of my despair and hurt. Suicide often occurs because someone feels trapped in a world of constant despair. Suicidal tendencies are often triggered by stress, trauma, bullying, unemployment, relationship issues, gambling problems, chemical imbalance, grief and other factors. Many of the persons who take their lives are considered suffers of a mental disorder; including, but not limited to schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, alcoholism or drug abuse”.

Declarations for my Sons & Daughters

I started writing this free ebook, Declarations for my Sons & Daughters, after contemplating the life that I wanted for my children. In a world such as this, we cannot leave anything to chance. I want my children to come into an intimate relationship with God and not have to struggle for it. All else are their rightful inheritance.

Many of us, especially of African descent, have been robbed of our earthly inheritance. We have all been robbed of our spiritual inheritance. But, it is not God’s will for us to remain in that state. I invite you to frequently declare these statements over the lives of your children, born and yet to be born.

I found that the declarations were divinely inspired. I attempted to write declarations before, but these came directly from the Holy Spirit. As such, I want to…

Empowering the 21st Century Worker exposes the research, analysis, implications and findings of on the job training for one learning organisation. It takes a close look at the processes and infrastructure in place for employee training and whether positive organisational change is the result.

An employer’s obligation to their workers does not start and stop at providing them with employment. More is required for them to contribute consistently and positively to the company; also for them to increase that level of productivity for their entire tenure at the organization. Business owners might think that if they employ certain empowerment practices, like encouraging open communication, setting up a system of rewards, defining roles clearly, or insisting on accountability; that these strategies alone will ensure employee empowerment. No, they will not.

It is advantageous and less stressful on management when employee involvement is practiced. This practice allows the worker to make…

The idea for this analysis in, Is the Registry Happy by Denise N. Fyffe, was born out of the direct contact with the Registry staff of a learning organisation. .

On the job training

Whether workers have been in the job market for many years or just a day, employers must anticipate training new employees in the company. This can be in specific job functions or organizational practices and culture, which is the accustomed behavioural customs, principles and expectations of their workplace. Oftentimes it is also required that they frequently offer guidance in job-specific technical skills as well. As the job function evolves, so too must the skills of the employee to perform that job effectively.

Worker’s skills are the key component in the success of an organization or business; therefore, it is paramount that they have the best employees possible. Organizations exploit all of their workforce expertise to…

The Expert Teacher

Some teach for teaching sake, and this is one of the reasons that the noble profession of teaching is being stigmatized by unconstructive connotations. It is not impossible to erode the failures of the past and lay a new legacy in teaching; it is certainly possible if as individuals we take on the responsibility of upgrading our skills, learning new strategies and working diligently to motivate all learners to participate fully in the learning process.

Teaching is one of the oldest professions in the world and many aspire to this profession; as is the case in any other career, many of us aim to be the best and most proficient. Many of us strive to improve on what existed before. This is a natural intrinsic desire as we are creatures that like to compete; but being the best is not an entitlement. It requires hard work and…
