Attaining Your Personal Best
Beginning anew is often difficult because we tend to bring the past forward with us. In revisiting the past, we may seek to prove to ourselves that it was not as bad as it really was, or we may seek to forecast the future. Much of the time, however, dredging up the past is a futile effort. A new beginning needs to be just that—something that is new (novel, original, fresh, innovative) and that is a beginning (start, launch, creation, commencement). In this definition of a new beginning, there is no room for the past.

Universal 4Ms of Safety, Service, and Success
Mapping, Mental Health/Wellness, Mediation, and Mentoring
The four universal elements of safety, mediation, mental health/wellness, mentorship, and mapping strategies need to be present in a person, community, and organization to ensure the person’s safety, the community, and everything in it. Mental health and wellness require the resources necessary for assessing the comfortability, coping, and functioning of individuals. They also emphasize the need for individuals in society to get some real-time help when needed. Mentorship refers to the provision of an individual to help another strategize their steps towards success. Mediation emphasizes the need for intervention and alternatives in managing simple and complex situations. Mapping of life is the process of planning and keeping records of where they want to reach in the future. All four elements are simultaneously necessary for the safety of the person, community, and organization in improving the quality of life.

The Affordability Factor
The 4Cs of Change
The Affordability Factor: The 4Cs of Change is a concept developed by and transformed into a life-management tool by Dr. Nathaniel J. Williams to serve as a liberating framework for self-discovery and a guide to achieving our fullest human potential. This framework emphasizes that we must first recognize and then release ourselves from the traumatic, personal, and damaging effects of challenging life events. Such challenging life events come in many forms, yet they all share two characteristics: they are profound and life altering. Underlying the development of the concept and tool is that most of us are trapped in a vicious cycle because we lack the understanding required to reframe and direct the challenging life event to its rightful place in our life. From this rightful place, we can launch forward, stronger and wiser to ourselves and others. If we do not reframe these challenging life events, we inadvertently decrease our prospects for the future.

Utilizing Prompt, Pristine and Particular Methods
Management and Leadership by the 3P’s provides an instrument using prompt, pristine, and particular methods through which managers can explore the various elements of a given organizational culture. Dr. Williams explores our F.E.A.R.S (False Evidence Appearing Real) vs. D.R.E.A.M.S. (Desire to Reach Each Achievable Measure of Success). The people, places, and possessions of an organization determine the long-term success of that organization. The “3Ps” is designed to aid in conflict avoidance and resolution and fundamentally allow managers and leaders to identify their own responsibility in achieving these goals.

Professional Development of Child Care Workers
Exploring the Professional Development Experiences of Residential Childcare Workers as they Relate to Effectiveness and Retention
Dr. Williams speaks of the difficulties of retaining workers in the child welfare industry. Workers perceive the industry as temporary and tend to leave when better employment opportunities are available. This creates an industry in which there is constant turnover and a reduced sense of permanency among workers, children and their families. In this qualitative assessment of residential childcare workers in the state of Pennsylvania, workers provided personal perceptions regarding their professional development. Interviews and focus groups with 20 participants focused on strategies to develop a professional development model that could affect the retention of residential childcare workers.
