The HR chicks have many comical experiences working together. Well, we think so. She has seen it all and has had to deal with many unpleasant experiences. She had gotten to a point in her career where work was just a job. Insert me here. I had experience, but was not prepared for the environment I had walked in to. I was used to a more "normal" environment so to speak. But let's be honest, is normal really any fun anymore? Can you laugh at normal? Write a book about it? No. I had decided early on I wanted to be involved in HR or training of some sort. Why I will never know. Something about the field has always drawn me in. Intrigued me so to speak, but for this job, thank God I minored in Psychology. The HR chicks clicked immediately. A mentor relationship was formed and work became a playground that they both actually enjoyed going to. Well let me rephrase, it became tolerable. She gave me the knowledge and know-how to be successful, and I gave her a new perspective and my wacky view on things to make the environment more enjoyable. Our stories in this book are crazy, yes. Is it our perspective of the situation, yes, but remember we are professionals, because WE are the HR chicks.

It's the "Changing of the Guards" It is apparent that the 21st Century is faced with new challenges that has affected every market, culture, and even spheres of influence. Does God have a plan for the nations, and those who will lead the way? Of course He does, and when the "guards change" so does the rules of engagement. If you've desired to change nations, the way business is conducted, and religion, it all starts with a 21st Century King, Leader and Reformer. Men and women who pave the way for nations are kings and reformers of their day. In her authoritative style, La Vada D. Humphrey enlarges the readers mind-sets to establish a footprint in the earth to reposition nations, and business systems that require reforming. She declares that there will be men and women who are in the "business for the Business" as God ushers them in to their sphere of influence. She challenges the emerging change- agents wearing mantles to reform and lead to fill the sits of modern day Josiah's, Esther's, Nehemiah's and David's - all who ultimately changed the world and repositioned the kingdom. Coaching Kings is about "troubleshooters" in the marketplace. Men and women who will break glass ceilings, question the unquestionable and take on national crisis for the Kingdom of God. If you're a business man, Pastor, Politician, Judge, entrepreneur or one who feels that God has "chosen" you for such a time as this, perhaps you're the reformer that shall arise to occasion in the marketplace.

The success of today's military officers rests squarely on the shoulders of the men and women of the past. In Striving for Perfection, author Gerald D. Curry, a former US Army colonel, reaches back through the annals of history to help today's professional military officers navigate a successful career. Curry shares rarely known insights on historical accomplishments from every major war in US history, from the Revolutionary War through the Global War on Terrorism. He pulls unique examples of success strategies, cultural understandings, and sage advice from African American servicemen and women who have worn the uniform.

Striving for Perfection goes beyond the typical leadership principles by offering significant experiences told from an African American perspective-from the only people deliberately brought to America for the sole purpose of servitude. Curry shows how black American patriots consistently looked beyond their current circumstances and served gallantly while seeking equality and social justice.

Although geared toward military professionals, Striving for Perfection can help all leaders in any profession who supervise and work with African Americans. Introducing proven success strategies, it provides a better understanding of diversity and inclusion.
