Every culture has … Continue reading The Caribbean Family: The Willie Lynch Syndrome
The family is the genesis of all societies. It is our most basic economic, political, and social unit. It is within the family unit that individuals first learn the value of work and the worth of their possessions. It is within the family that individuals first experience authority, cooperation, and governance. The Family Families teach … Continue reading The Caribbean Family: Examining Family Diversity in The Caribbean
Being from the Caribbean, I can speak to the reality of the family there. I grew up in a nuclear family with two parents. However, my family dynamic changed when I was a teenager, and my mother became the head of the household. This is commonplace in Jamaica, seemingly the norm, but it shouldn’t be. … Continue reading The Caribbean Family: Single-Family Homes
I watched a video by renowned author J.K. Rowling, and I believe that she gets what many authors, like myself, are going through.
She was speaking the Harvard University Commencement and her speech was about failure and I could tell that she lived exactly what I am now going through.
To have that similarity and to hear my thoughts from someone else is a great motivator. As such, it inspired me to share 30 posts about the 30 books, which I have published.
Then I began thinking, searching …
Over the last month, I have come to the full realization and acceptance that I am different. I cannot sit idly by, because I have been given a gift; and I won’t waste it. Every bit of information, research – everything – God has put in this head will benefit someone else.
I am going to write about it.
When I reached 25 books, my next goal was 30. But, I conquered 30 books so easily, my next target was 100 books by 2018. However, I took a one-year sabbatical. That one year turned into three. I needed to recalibrate and analyze my motives, my messages, my purpose.
So, calibration is in session.
I want to encourage someone else, to never settle for mediocrity. And remember, only you know what that level is. If you are given a gift to aim HIGH and THINK BIG, then do so.
There are many things that I can do – many abilities, talents, skills, and interests. I get bored easily; therefore, it is not in my genes to settle for just writing one book a year or writing for writing sake. Neither should you – as a writer – settle for this idle.
I encourage you, stop, think and reassess your life. It might be what you need to level you up for greatness.

I say published, because I have written nearly twice as many, and they are sitting on my hard drive gathering virtual dust.
Over the last month, I have come to the full realisation that I am different. I am called to a higher place than others. I cannot sit idly by and watch my life go by, because I have been given a gift; and I wont waste it.

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.
The bible says that “death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits”. Therefore, as guardians of our bloodline, we must take the reins and strategically place the power, authority, presence and dictates of God, over the lives of our children; even to the 12th … Continue reading Book Feature on Declarations for My Sons and Daughters by Denise N.

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.

The department that handles the brunt of the administrative function at a university if oft referred to as a Registry. The person in charge of said department is called a Registrar. There are a myriad of functions, which originate in this administrative hub. For the life of the student at any institution, a large amount of time will be spent interacting with the officers in this department. Without the effective functioning of this department, the university will be considered incompetent and student customers will be frustrated or unhappy while they study at the institution.
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…

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.
The Expert TeacherSome 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.
