Lili Aubelune Book 1 The Dragon of Broceliande by Isolde Nightfal

Lili never expected to uncover a secret hidden in the heart of Brocéliande Forest. When an ancient spellbook begins writing itself, it reveals a shocking truth: she is Éléane, Merlin’s own niece. Suddenly, her ordinary life is filled with magic, danger, and a baby dragon named Drakos who sneezes fire and grows too fast for his own good.

With the help of her clumsy knight friend Gabin and the sharp-witted thief Ysée, Lili must protect Drakos from the Shadow Witch Morgane, who wants to use his power for darkness. As the prophecy unfolds, Lili discovers the sigil on her arm holds the key to saving or destroying everything. Can friendship and courage win against ancient evil? No pressure, right?

FROM INVISIBLE TO BRAVE, 30 Micro-Dares Activity Workbook for Teen Social Skills & Self Esteem by NAYA EDEN

FROM INVISIBLE TO BRAVE, 30 Micro-Dares Activity Workbook for Teen Social Skills & Self Esteem: Conversation Scripts + Confidence Tracker for Shy, Socially Anxious Teens Who Want Friends by NAYA EDEN

Some teens don’t feel loud—they feel invisible. Not because they don’t care, but because every social moment feels like a test: Where do I stand? What do I say? What if I mess it up?

From Invisible to Brave is a gentle workbook built for that exact teen. Instead of forcing big, scary leaps, it gives 30 tiny “micro-dares” that start small and grow at your pace. Each challenge comes in three levels—low, medium, and high—so the teen stays in control.

Inside, you’ll find quick scripts for real situations (joining a group, starting a conversation, answering teasing, inviting someone to hang out) and simple reflection pages that help teens notice progress without pressure. The goal isn’t to turn anyone into an extrovert. It’s to help shy teens practice real-life confidence, one manageable step at a time.

Once Upon A Leader by Sally M. Evans

Once Upon A Leader: Create Culture & Navigate Change With Vision, Integrity, Adaptability, & Influence by Sally M. Evans

We’re going back to the beginning – to four stories so simple a child could tell them, and so true, they still whisper to the hearts of grown-ups.

By the end of this book, you’ll know their message by heart, not as fairy tales, but as reminders of what real leadership was always meant to be.

Leaders are not underinvesting in development. Quite the opposite. Four hundred billion dollars. That’s enough to buy every employee a decent latte every single day for a year and still have money left over for the fancy oat milk. Instead, we’re spending it on training programs that vanish faster than free donuts in a break room.
The results tell a devastating story:
• Only %10% of programs deliver measurable results.
• Employee engagement has stagnated at 33% for more than a decade.
• Over 40% of employees don’t believe their leaders truly listen.
• Lack of trust drives nearly half of all resistance to change.

The money is there. The effort is there. What’s missing is impact. The problem is delivery and retention.

We remember stories. We trust stories. We learn through stories.
So why, in business, when the stakes are so high, do we push stories aside?
The science is measurable. From Stanford’s memory research to Princeton’s neural coupling studies, from oxytocin findings to mirror neuron science, the evidence is clear: stories literally rewire the brain for empathy, trust, and action.

Story isn’t fluff. It’s function. What story will you tell on Monday morning?
