Increasing Your Personal and Professional Effectiveness...
Dr. Dixie Benshoff has written a practical guide for women who want to enhance their effectiveness in professional settings as well as in their personal lives. This guide is based on her extensive experience working with others in counseling and education and is backed by theoretical underpinnings from the psychological literature. She shares personal stories from her own life as well as from those she’s taught which makes this guide readable and relatable. Most importantly, she provides useful skills that can easily be applied in everyday life. Having known Dr. Benshoff for over thirty-five years and benefited from her wisdom and knowledge, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills and feel better about themselves doing so.

David was a Pirate...
David was a Pirate is a wonderful book to share with any young child ready to make the transition to a new educational environment. I think it would be particularly appropriate for the more creative, spirited child - the storyline provides just the right amount of "it's going to be o.k." and "school isn't going to be so bad after all!"
