UPDATE: $30,000 Grant Program Aims to Build High School Students’ College / Career Decision-Making Skills
The Alliance for Decision Education will award the grants and support program implementation
PHILADELPHIA – August 25, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
The Alliance for Decision Education, a national nonprofit spearheading a movement to have decision-making skills taught in K-12 schools, announced the launch of an 18-month grant program aimed at preparing high school students for life after graduation.
The grant – Planning Your Path: A College and Career Decision-Making Incubator – is for high schools that want to bring Decision Education into their classrooms by designing programs that broadly impact the way students make decisions about careers and college.
“This program aims to help students navigate one of the most challenging and important decisions in their young lives: What to do after high school?” said Alliance Director of Education Megan Roberts. “Empowering students with key decision-making skills and processes will help them form better decisions and make them feel more confident in their ability to do so.”
The Alliance, supported by two Nobel Laureates and leaders in nearly every industry, has been working since 2014 to build and coalesce the interdisciplinary field of Decision Education, which draws on concepts from psychology, neuroscience, behavioral economics, and decision sciences.
Through the grant program, each selected school will appoint a team of 3-5 staff members to lead work on their projects, take part in professional development, and receive coaching from an Alliance Education Manager. School teams are expected to learn about Decision Education throughout the grant period, and projects will eventually be shared with a national audience.
The application window opens on August 22 and closes on October 7. Awards will be made in late October.

“Beyond Se Habla Español: How Lawyers Win the Hispanic Market” stems from the creativity and expertise of authors Natalie Fragkouli and Liel Levy, founders of the marketing agency Nanato Media based in Austin, Texas. The book addresses misconceptions about the ever-growing U.S. Hispanic market and empowers law firms to build digital marketing strategies that take cultural nuances into account.

Fragkouli and Levy attended the ceremony in Los Angeles to receive the award. “We wrote this book to inspire consumer-focused attorneys to better engage their local Hispanic communities,” said Fragkouli during their acceptance speech.
In the book, Fragkouli and Levy discuss the value of a dedicated Hispanic audience and explain why law firms should consider a digital-forward strategy to connect with potential clients and remain relevant for years to come.
Topics covered in the book include:
● The five distinct communities within the Hispanic market and what makes each unique
● How to understand and properly use terms such as Hispanic, Latino/Latina, and Latinx
● Why trust and empathy are important to Latinx clients
● Why a digital-forward strategy is the most cost-effective approach to engaging with the Hispanic market thanks to widespread technology adoption
● How to run a successful PPC campaign that generates qualified leads with a high conversion rate
Fragkouli and Levy also announced their upcoming literary project during the ceremony. “The next title we are working on is to promote entrepreneurship among Spanish-speaking immigrants in the U.S.,” Levy said.
The ILBA is an initiative by Empowering Latino Futures (ELF) that celebrates Latino authors, translators, and illustrators for their books written either in English, Spanish and Portuguese. You can find the full list of this year’s winners here.

Michele Noel’s New Book ‘Respect the Path’ Is An Insightful Narrative Meant To Empower The Sorrowing, Addicted, And Abused Women
SANDY, Utah – August 25, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Fulton Books author, Michele Noel, a facilitator and group leader for over one thousand women’s groups, has completed her most recent book “Respect the Path”: a highly recommended read for the exhausted women who battle with their demons. Michele shared her personal life-saving insights in hopes to motivate struggling women. Michele had been there and she knew that the path to recovery requires a lot of effort. It’s mentally, physically, and emotionally draining; but just know that when Christ is present in the process, everything’s going to be fine in the end.
“Respect the Path is a gritty truth-telling companion book to any 12-Step Addiction Recovery effort for women. It is also a must-read for any woman who lives with or loves an addict and has suffered the abuses involved in such a relationship. Generally focused on the broad diversity of the Christian community, Michele pushes back on traditional Christian judgments about the ‘good or bad’ direction anyone’s path is currently taking.
Working with women in over a thousand group and individual meetings has taught Michele that even the most depraved addict or the most horribly abused woman can find health and healing for her body, mind, and soul. “The Recovery path is grueling, exhausting, powerful, and glorious. Truth is, gloriousness can only come from growing out of that deprivation. Every path is simply a valued, vital part of uncovering the magnificence that already existed within every woman. Work the path—believe that your path has value, no matter what! Yet valuing the path does not grant permission to stew in the juices of self-pity, blame, or self-righteous rationalizations. Rather, we dig deep for that dormant power of Queenship and go to work. We change ourselves and the world one day at a time. Respecting the path requires us to open our minds to new concepts and ideas about how we think about what we are thinking about.”
Michele has seen just as many lives brought to the brink of destruction by repetitive negative thinking patterns as by the ravages of any substance or behavioral addiction. Addiction patterns and negative thinking patterns can be overcome because the brain has a God-given healing power. God is in this work!
Michele uses the term addiction in a broad non-condemning sense because ownership and accountability are essential to healing and finding the joy of Recovery. “The term addiction becomes our friend, our instructor—not a shame label—and it certainly does not define who we are. Rather, it is merely the path we have trod.’ Michele’s favorite self-title is Addict-in-Recovery.”
Published by Fulton Books, Michele Noel’s book is an informative opus that puts emphasis on how grueling the path to recovery is. It urges readers to respect each pace because the journey to redemption is never easy.
It’s a read filled with honesty, courage, and empathy.
Readers who wish to experience this potent work can purchase “Respect the Path” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Dessa Figueroa, the first woman licensed as a minister in her family from a long lineage of pastors, has completed her new book, “Deborah Needed in the Church Today”: a faith-based read meant to empower women.
Figueroa shares, “Why would God call a woman into leadership when He has plenty of capable men to choose from? What if a woman has a continual galling dream to minister the gospel? Would God put that burden on a woman?
It is time we see women for what God made them to be—not sexual icons but powerful leaders and spiritual mothers of the church body. God fully intends to use the leadership qualities He gave women.
In this book, you will discover what the Bible says about women in lead positions; why women are needed and necessary in ministry for the building up of the body of Christ; and why and how God calls, equips, and ordains women leaders to lead alongside the men of God.
This book will equip you to encourage women leaders around you. You will learn how to empower women into God’s perfect will and plan. Be open to what God may want you to do. Allow yourself to be used in the way God chooses.”
