Discover What it Takes to be a Resilient Leader
Packed with practical, proven strategies to cultivate an optimistic mindset and a resilient approach to problem-solving, The Resilient Leader is your comprehensive guide to significantly boosting your leadership effectiveness.
When challenges arise, true leaders must rely on their inner strength to navigate the storm. Without a focus on self-care, a positive outlook on personal wellness, and a system for building resilience, even the most inspiring leaders can falter.
In this groundbreaking work, Brian D. Molitor delves into the stories of successful leaders across various fields to uncover the three essential traits of every resilient leader:
- They consciously enhance their physical, mental, and emotional well-being while minimizing stress.
- They excel in managing team performance.
- They chase meaningful goals with focus and optimism.
Resilience is a skill that can be learned and honed. The ability to endure hardship and emerge stronger is within everyone’s reach. The Resilient Leader provides everything you need to get starter.

Award-Winning Author Nadine Haruni Releases Book Two in Teenage Fantasy Adventure Trilogy: The Hat Diaries: Discover the Portal
In her first novel for middle-grade (and older) readers, The Hat Diaries: The Secret Life of Ryan Rigbee, award-winning author Nadine Haruni introduced readers to Ryan Rigbee, a 13-year-old loner reeling from losing his dad who forms an unexpected bond with Merlo. The enchanted hats Ryan puts on before bedtime magically transform him into the role of the hat-wearer, and he is drawn into a world filled with nightly action-packed adventures with his dog, Shadow. In the trilogy’s second installment, The Hat Diaries: Discover the Portal (November 2024; ISBN: 979-8-890220139-1), Haruni takes Ryan’s adventures to an exciting and dangerous new level.
The Hat Diaries: Discover the Portal follows Ryan, his trusted dog Shadow, and his mentor Merlo, the magician turned proprietor of Harry’s Haberdashery, as they continue to explore the power of all kinds of hats—from sombreros and berets to an astronaut’s helmet—transporting them to incredible places worldwide (and beyond) and back in time.
Ryan experiences many harrowing adventures, including narrowly escaping being trampled by a herd of angry beasts during the Running of the Bulls event in Spain, barely surviving a violent mob on Bastille Day in France, and having a dangerous run-in with a band of angry pirates—with only moments to spare on the portal’s timer. In an interview, Haruni can talk about the following:
- How her books address various social-emotional learning (SEL) topics, allowing children to see themselves or their friends in the stories.
- Where the first installment of The Hat Diaries leaves off and where the second book continues.
- What are the differences between writing her first five-book series (Freeda the Frog) for little children, as compared to dreaming up the second of her third pre-teen sci-fi fantasy (The Hat Diaries), and how it is to change writing styles for different audiences.
- Why it’s important to encourage young people to read and write, and consider starting to journal.
- What you need to know to start writing your own book.

Connectedness & Health: The Science of Social Connection
Staying connected and engaged with the important people in our lives has never been more critical—or more challenging. The widespread epidemic of digital addiction and device overuse has contributed to a near-complete breakdown in our ability to form lasting, meaningful relationships with those around us.
Scientific research underscores the importance of direct human connection for our health and well-being. Studies have shown that social connections can improve physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being. For instance, strong social connections are associated with a 50% increased chance of longevity, stronger immune systems, and faster recovery from disease. Conversely, social isolation can increase the risk of premature death by 29%, making it as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
