Training Needs Analysis through DACUM
Training Needs Analysis through DACUM: A Guide for Coordinators is a comprehensive, practice-based guide to conducting systematic training needs analysis and occupational analysis using the DACUM (Develop A CurriculUM) system, originally developed by Robert E. Adams in 1968.This book focuses explicitly on the analysis phase of occupational training development, addressing a critical weakness in many training programs: the failure to accurately diagnose performance problems and define job-relevant skills before designing instruction. Rather than assuming training is always the solution, the authors begin with performance analysis, guiding readers through methods for determining when training is appropriate and when performance issues stem from environmental, organizational, or motivational factors.Central to the book is DACUM's expert-worker-driven approach to occupational analysis. Readers are guided step-by-step through the role of the DACUM coordinator, committee selection, coordinating techniques, skill identification, skill wording, and the construction and validation of DACUM charts organized around General Areas of Competence (GACs). Emphasis is placed on defining observable, measurable skills, avoiding abstract knowledge statements, and maintaining the integrity of the analysis process.The book also explains the use of the DACUM rating scale to establish minimum acceptable levels of competence, differentiate performance expectations, and support later evaluation. While this volume concentrates on analysis, it intentionally situates that analysis within the broader DACUM Development Model, demonstrating how high-quality analysis becomes the foundation for curriculum development, learning activities, and performance-based evaluation.Written for DACUM coordinators, training and development professionals, instructional designers, workforce educators, and career and technical education leaders, this book serves both as a technical reference and a working guide. It is designed to help professionals produce training programs that are efficient, defensible, and directly aligned with real occupational performance-avoiding over-training, under-training, and misaligned curricula.As part of the DACUM series, Training Needs Analysis through DACUM stands as the definitive resource on conducting authentic DACUM-based analysis and preserving its role as the foundation of an integrated occupational training system.

You're on Mute
This was never meant to be a book that offered tidy solutions. Instead, it's a declaration. A refusal to stay quiet. A chorus of voices from women who have spent years, and in many cases, decades, pushing against an industry that often erases them...You're On Mute: 13 Lessons for Women Frustrated with the Tech Sector is an anthology by and for women in tech, or any sector where gender parity has stalled. Each chapter is crafted by a woman or gender-minority who has faced challenges in the tech sector but has nonetheless paved a path forward. Featuring women from Argentina, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, India, Italy, Somalia, and the US; women who learned English from Oprah reruns, who taught themselves how to code at public library computers, who left countries, families, and whole lives behind; women who work at Google and Microsoft, in small-business, and in venture capital. And while the careers they have built are vastly different, they all have one thing in common: they have taken themselves off mute. Whether C-Suite executives, founders, change agents, coders or all the above, they are first and foremost, trailblazers. And they each tell a story about the long, slow climb up the tech ladder and the sting of being told "we love you, but..." This is a book about triumph and hope. If you are concerned about the voices in tech that are influencing the next generation of technology and its impact on humanity, You're On Mute shines a light on the shared frustrations many women experience, writing back with inspiring stories, practical advice, and hope for the future. You don't need to work in tech to be concerned about the future of tech and the voices within it.
Get Real
Get Real is a business book for women filled with inspirational and honest stories of starting, scaling and failing in business. Entrepreneur Lisa Teh was inspired to write the book after realising her summer reading list had plenty of business books written for, and by, men, but very few by women.

If you've ever wanted to start your own business, are currently doing a side hustle or are looking to take your business to the next level, this is the book for you. Get Real is full of valuable lessons from Lisa and 30 other amazing women - in fields ranging from fashion and beauty to tech and healthcare - on topics from how to find your business idea, raising money, scaling, marketing your brand, backing yourself, how to build resilience (especially when the odds are stacked against you) and much more. Women face unique challenges in business and as Lisa proudly declares: 'You can't be what you can't see.'

Dreams and Determination
Everyone has dreams ... but not everyone follows them.Some are held back by fear of failure, other's by expectations, and many just don't know where to start. In fact, it's estimated that around 75% of people never follow their dreams. They want it to be easy, they need it to be safe and they have to know that it's guaranteed to work out.Then there's the rare courageous few who go all in on their dreams. The ones who hear the call and run towards it, the ones who take the leap before they have all the answers, and the ones who somehow just know that this is where they're meant to be going.Following your dreams can sound so simple but, in reality, it often takes an unwavering vision, ferocious courage and steadfast commitment. Following a dream, sometimes one only you can see, is not the easiest, safest or guaranteed option. But the cost of not doing it is living with the question: "What if I had?" And that question? It will haunt you far more than trying and failing ever could.So, if you're ready to go all in on your dreams, in this book you'll discover the inspiration, tenacity and determination it takes. Featuring Aisha Kubiangha, Amy Aquilini, Amy Tremain, Asha Bhat, Ash Sundaram, Catherine Ashton, Christine Wan, Danielle Camer, Doreen Brown, Heena Sinha, Kat Buttigieg, Katy Garner, Kim Allen, Kylee Dennis, Lauren Hunter, Lee Li, Mumbi Hinga, Peace Mitchell, Saara Jamieson, Sarah Macrae, Sonya Choi La Rosa, Sylvia Arotin and Zoe Jones
Be Kind
In business, your most powerful tool isn't a strategy, a spreadsheet, or a vision. It's your words.

In Be Kind, Gui Costin shows that leadership language is not soft. Thoughtful words can drive a hard-charging, high-performance culture without breeding burnout, fear, or toxicity. Speaking with clarity, respect, and intent builds an environment where people feel valued, trusted, and understood. This book is both a call to action and a practical guide. Learn to choose words that strengthen trust, inspire accountability, and cultivate a workplace where kindness and performance go hand in hand. Because in the end, every word you speak either builds up your culture, or tears it down. High performance starts with how you speak. Be thoughtful. Be clear. Be Kind.

A Nurse's Survival Guide to Acute Medical Emergencies
Brian Tracy said, "This book gives you a proven strategy to write and sell an excellent book on any business subject you know and care about." Todd Sattersten, co-author of "The 100 Best Business Books of All Time," said, "No one tells you how hard it is to write a business book. Luckily, Derek's 'Bible' makes it easier-much easier." Literary agents, publishers, Fortune 500 consultants-they've all had rave reviews for "The Business Book Bible," the only full-length, in-depth book on how to put together a great thought leadership book. There are plenty of writing guides out there for memoirs, general business communication, crime thrillers, or romance novels. But until now, there's never been anywhere would-be business authors could turn to for help. That's unfortunate because business books present a completely different set of challenges. For example: - How do you connect with your readers so they trust you and your advice? - How do you artfully point to your products and services without coming off like a late-night infomercial? 
 - How do you keep your reader engaged throughout the book, especially if your material is--shall we say--less than thrilling?
 No other writing guide can teach you what you need to know...and do you really want to learn the hard way? 
With writing your book, you want to get it right the first time. Written by a business ghostwriter, "The Business Book Bible" covers everything you need to know, from framing your authority to picking the perfect title, plus: - Figuring out how long your book should be - Winning the battle of writer's block - Nailing down your real reader (and what to do when they're different than your ideal client)
 - Giving away the secret sauce - The unforgivable sin in writing - Looking like a pro (and not a rank amateur) - Acting like a publisher (even if you have one) ....and much, much more. You'll learn how to follow the same 5-step process the author uses to write and ghostwrite multiple books a year. You'll see how to keep your book focused and how to cut the unnecessary material. You'll discover multiple methods of getting your ideas out of your head--and most of them don't even involve writing! John Spence, voted one of the top 100 business thought leaders in America, said, "As the author of five business books, I sure wish I had read this one earlier in my career. It's would've saved me a lot of time, headache, stress, and money." Here's a startling example of just one of the great tips and tricks contained in the book: you don't start writing a book by actually writing the book. One of the biggest mistakes first-time authors make is sitting down at their computer, expecting to start with the first word of chapter one, and then write all the way through to "The End." If only it were that easy! Amateurs try to get it perfect right from the start. The pros know that writing is a process. You start by getting all your ideas out of head and onto paper first. You'll have a jumbled mess that looks like a new jigsaw puzzle. You have to sift and sort through it to find the material worth using. Then and only then can you start piecing the puzzle together. It's a painstaking, time-consuming process-but one that's well worth it. Peter Economy, "The Management Guy" at Inc. said, "Derek Lewis's 'The Business Book Bible' is by far the most comprehensive book I have ever seen on the nuts and bolts of writing a business book.

Big Brass Balls
"Raymond Marylowe's brand of radical individualism makes Nietzsche and Ayn Rand look like toddlers in comparison." -L'inimitable***Your life is full of stupid traps. Here is a sledgehammer to destroy them.Well done for checking out this book! So you've realized that the only way to achieve any sort of success is to grow a pair. And you're right! Allow me, with a theoretical physicist's precision, to break down the formula for success once and for all for you: Success is 1% talent, 1% hard work, 1% luck, and the rest is all about audacity.Audacity is not "courage". A typical man has a few moments of courage here and there and feel good about overcoming his fear. But really, he's weak. Because "courage" means you still feel fear. Otherwise you wouldn't need courage. You'd just go ahead and do it!Why don't most people just "do it"? Because they walk through life dragging a massive sack of 100-pound boulders that is their emotional baggage: self-doubt, insecurities, societal nonsense. All of these are based on fear.Imagine having no fear. Then you wouldn't even need courage. You wouldn't even need confidence, because there's nothing holding you back. You'll have the audacity to demand all you want from the world, and the world has no choice but to give it to you.And in Big Brass Balls, I'm going to give you that superpower. I'll share with you the one and only way to completely remove all fear. This is also much faster than building confidence or courage. After you finish this book, you'll finally get rid of that sack of boulders and will be able to walk lightly. If you're dragging anything with you, it'll be your enormous Brass Balls. Read the book to discover the full blueprint.

Rosie the Rubber Worker
In this richly illustrated book Kathleen L. Endres examines the lives of women working in the rubber industry in World War II. Women who entered the industrial workplace during the war were popularized by Rosie the Riveter, a cultural icon that is perhaps one of the most enduring images of women's mobilization on the American home front. Posters, magazine covers, popular music, and advertisements all romanticized the vision of patriotic women entering the factory and picking up "where the men left off." Endres points out that women were not new to the factories of Akron. Years before the war, many women had been balancing their home lives with working in these factories. And while the war did offer new opportunities to such groups as African Americans, women had been present in the rubber industry for decades, relegated to the lower paid "less skilled" jobs, which often required more manual dexterity than the jobs left for the "skilled" labor of men. Drawing upon heretofore unavailable archival materials and oral histories, Rosie the Rubber Worker offers readers a personal as well as scholarly account of the era and highlights the important role many women played in wartime production and how their work affected their lives during the war and after.
