Murry J. Schekman shares true stories and practical strategies for teachers, principals, and school leaders

New York City, New York, United States, 27th Jun 2026 – Murry J. Schekman is proud to announce the release of It’s All About Leadership in Schools…: What works and some of what doesn’t!, a new Educational Leadership book now available on Amazon. This Educational Leadership book shares real stories from a long career in schools and offers clear, practical ideas that school leaders can use every day.

This Educational Leadership book is based on Schekman’s journey from starting as an instructional aide to becoming a superintendent. Along the way, he worked as a teacher, counselor, assistant principal, principal, director, assistant superintendent, and college professor. These roles gave him a wide view of how schools work and what strong leadership looks like in real life.

A Real Look at Leadership in Schools

In It’s All About Leadership in Schools, the focus is on real people and real situations. Instead of theory alone, this Educational Leadership book shares stories about students, teachers, parents, and school staff. Some stories are serious, while others are fun and uplifting. Together, they show what works in schools and what sometimes does not.

Readers will learn about:

• Building a strong school culture
• Handling discipline in fair and thoughtful ways
• Creating effective class schedules
• Encouraging parent involvement
• Avoiding burnout as a school leader

One key message in this Educational Leadership book is the power of enthusiasm. Schekman shows how a leader’s energy and attitude can shape a whole school. When leaders care deeply and show it, others often follow.

Built on Experience, Not Just Theory

What makes this book different from many others in the Educational Leadership field is its simple and clear style. Many leadership books are written like textbooks. This one is not. It is easy to read and filled with lessons that come from real experience.

Schekman even connects his ideas to research, sometimes after the events happened. This makes the book both practical and thoughtful. Readers do not just learn what to do, they also understand why it works.

The book also shares moments from opening a new high school and building its culture from the ground up. These insights are rare and valuable for anyone interested in starting or improving a school.

About the Author

Murry J. Schekman brings decades of experience to this book. He has served as a principal at multiple schools, including high schools and middle schools. He also worked as a director, assistant superintendent, and interim superintendent.

In addition, he taught full-time at San Jose State University in the Counselor Education and Educational Leadership departments. He ended his career as a superintendent in his home district. Each role added to his understanding of leadership, which he now shares in this book.

His career gave him the chance to see both success and failure up close. This helped him reflect on what truly works in schools. His honest approach makes his writing both helpful and relatable.

Why Readers Will Enjoy This Book

This book is not only useful, it is also engaging. Readers will meet real people who work hard every day to support students. Some stories are surprising, and others are inspiring. There are even moments that bring humor into the serious world of school leadership.

If you want a book that is easy to read but still full of strong ideas, this is a great choice. It is written for current and future school leaders, but also for teachers and anyone interested in how schools succeed.

The author shares a clear guide to reading horse signals and building trust through kind communication.

New York City, New York, United States, 27th Jun 2026 – Ann Elliot is excited to share her new book, What Is My Horse Saying and Why Does It Matter?, a helpful and easy-to-read Animal Communication and Care Book now available on Amazon. This Pets & Animal Care guide shows readers how to better understand what horses are trying to say through their actions and body language. 

This Animal Communication and Care Book is written in a simple way so that young readers and beginners can follow along with ease. It also includes helpful visuals that make it easier to see and understand horse behavior. Readers will learn how to notice small signs that horses give every day and what they may mean. 

Understanding Your Horse in a New Way 

In What Is My Horse Saying and Why Does It Matter?, the focus is on learning how horses communicate. Horses do not use words, but they are always “speaking” through their movements, posture, and energy. This Animal Communication and Care Book helps readers see those signs clearly. 

The book explains how to tell when a horse is calm, nervous, happy, or unsure. It teaches readers how to respond in a way that builds trust instead of fear. This makes interactions safer and more positive for both the horse and the person. 

Readers will also learn that understanding a horse is not just about training. It is about forming a real connection. When people take time to listen and observe, they can create a stronger and more respectful relationship with their horse. 

A Message of Kindness and Trust 

This Animal Communication and Care Book shares a powerful idea: horses respond better to kindness, patience, and understanding. Ann Elliot believes that when people treat horses with care and respect, the bond becomes stronger. 

The book encourages readers to move away from harsh training methods. Instead, it promotes gentle communication and mutual trust. When both the horse and the person feel safe, the relationship becomes more natural and rewarding. 

This message is not only helpful for working with horses. It can also inspire readers to build better relationships with people in their lives. Understanding, patience, and clear communication are important in all our relationships. 

About the Author 

Ann Elliot has spent her whole life around horses. She grew up on a farm where she spent most of her time with animals. From a young age, she learned how to observe their behavior and understand what they were feeling and needing. 

One of the most important parts of her life was her bond with her horse, Sammy Gene. 

They shared many years together, and their connection was built on trust and care. Sammy Gene even helped save her life more than once. He lived to be 40 years old and is buried on her farm today. 

Ann turned her life experience into a professional path. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. She is a nationally rostered Cognitive Processing Therapist for PTSD. She is a Certified Domestic Violence Counseling, Certified Criminal Justice Specialist and a Biblical Research student for over 40 years. At her farm, Animal Acres in Missouri, she works with people and animals to support healing and learning. 

Her work focuses on helping others understand behavior, build trust, and create safe connections. She brings this deep knowledge and real-life experience into her writing. 

The Inspiration Behind the Book 

Ann’s story is shaped by what she saw growing up. She witnessed harsh and violent interactions between people and animals. This led her to choose a different path. 

When she was a small child, she asked for a young horse from her family’s farm and made a promise to always treat him with kindness and respect. That horse was Sammy Gene. Together, they built a relationship based on trust, not fear, that lasted over 40 years.

This experience became the heart of her book. Ann wants readers to know that there is a better way to work with horses. A way that is calm, caring, and respectful. 

Her goal is to help others avoid harmful methods and discover a gentler approach, while enhancing their relationship. 

Who Should Read This Book 

This book is perfect for anyone who wants to better understand horses. It is especially helpful for beginners, young readers, and people who are new to horse care. 

It is also valuable for those who have been around horses but want to deepen their understanding. Even experienced horse owners can learn something new by paying closer attention to behavior and communication. 

Beyond horses, the lessons in this book can help improve how people connect with others. The idea is simple: better understanding leads to better relationships.

Soft Girl Era a self-help guide encouraging women to embrace softness, protect their peace, and grow.

New York City, New York, United States, 27th Jun 2026 – Author Jillian Mone’t is proud to announce the release of her inspiring new book, Soft Girl Era, a powerful self-help book now available on Amazon. This thoughtful guide invites women to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with their true selves. Through honest insights and practical ideas, the book encourages readers to stop living behind a hard exterior and begin embracing a life built on self-respect, calm, and purpose.

In today’s fast-moving world, many women feel pressure to always appear strong, fearless, and tough. While strength is important, constantly carrying that weight can become exhausting. In Soft Girl Era, Jillian Mone’t explains that strength and softness can exist together. This self-help book encourages women to release the need to prove themselves and instead focus on building a peaceful and balanced life.

A Message About Choosing Yourself

At the heart of the Soft Girl Era is a simple but powerful message: choosing yourself matters. Many women are taught from a young age how to be liked, accepted, or chosen by others. However, they are rarely taught how to value themselves first.

Jillian Mone’t shares thoughtful reflections about learning to love yourself quietly rather than seeking approval from the outside world. This self-help book shows readers that real confidence grows from within. It is not about performing for attention or praise. Instead, it is about building a strong sense of self that remains steady even when no one is watching.

The book gently encourages readers to ask important questions about their lives. Are they living for peace or for approval? Are they protecting what matters most to them? Through these reflections, readers are guided toward healthier habits, stronger boundaries, and deeper self-awareness.

Learning the Power of Softness

Many people misunderstand what it means to be “soft.” Some believe softness means weakness or lack of strength. Soft Girl Era challenges that idea. The book explains that softness can be one of the most powerful forms of strength.

Walking around angry, guarded, or defensive can slowly drain a person’s energy. Over time, this can affect relationships, opportunities, and personal happiness. Jillian Mone’t encourages women to release that constant tension and allow themselves to experience peace and emotional balance.

Through honest discussion and thoughtful advice, this self-help book explores topics such as self-love, personal discipline, staying organized, setting priorities, and learning what should remain private in a world where many people feel pressure to share everything online.

Readers will also learn how protecting certain parts of their lives can bring clarity and peace. Sometimes growth happens quietly, away from public attention. The book reminds readers that not every achievement needs to be announced or displayed.

A Journey of Growth and Reflection

Soft Girl Era is written for women who feel they are outgrowing old habits, old beliefs, or even old versions of themselves. Change can feel uncomfortable, but it is often necessary for personal growth.

Jillian Mone’t explains that the journey toward self-love is not always loud or glamorous. Real growth often happens in quiet moments of reflection. This self-help book encourages readers to become comfortable with solitude and learn the value of spending time alone without feeling empty.

Throughout the book, readers are invited to slow down and reconnect with their inner voice. Instead of chasing popularity or constant attention, the focus shifts toward building a calm and steady life filled with intention and purpose.

About the Author

Jillian Mone’t is a visionary business owner, model, actress, and writer who was born and raised in the south suburbs of Chicago. Guided by intuition and creativity, she has built a career that blends artistic expression with personal growth.

She has appeared in several well-known television series, including Empire, Chicago P.D., Chicago Fire, and Shameless, among others. Her experiences in entertainment and business have given her a unique understanding of confidence, identity, and personal transformation.

Jillian attended Governors State University in University Park, Illinois, located about thirty minutes south of Chicago. Her creative background and life experiences helped shape the message behind Soft Girl Era, making it a meaningful self-help book for readers seeking personal clarity and emotional balance.

Duncan Brand shares strategies to help organizations close talent gaps and strong, effective leaders

Duncan Brand is excited to announce the release of MIND THE GAP: How Organizations Can Become People Centric Vs Employee Centric, a powerful new Business & Money book now available on Amazon. This Business & Leadership guide shares real-world lessons on why many leadership programs fail and what organizations can do instead to create lasting change. Written in a clear, honest voice, the book gives readers tools they can use right away. Unlike many other books, it focuses on real experience, not just ideas. It is a must-read Business & Leadership resource for leaders who want better results. 

A Fresh Look at Leadership That Works in Real Life

In Mind the Gap, Duncan Brand explains a problem many companies face but rarely address. Organizations often promote skilled people into leadership roles without giving them the tools they need to succeed. This leads to poor results, low team energy, and missed growth. 

This Business & Leadership book shows that the issue is not the people but the system. Brand explains how companies can move from being “employee centric” to truly “people centric.” He offers clear, simple steps to help leaders support their teams, build trust, and improve performance. 

Readers will learn how to integrate hiring, training, and performance into a single system. This strengthens and enhances leadership development. Whether you are an HR leader, a manager, or a business owner, this book offers ideas you can apply right away. 

What Makes This Book Different

Many leadership books are grounded in theory or external perspectives. Mind the Gap is different because it draws on real, hands-on experience. Duncan Brand has worked within major organizations for over 25 years. He understands the daily challenges leaders face. 

This Business & Leadership book not only explains problems but also provides clear solutions. It shows how to build a system in which leadership growth is part of everyday work, not just a one-time training event. The focus is on real change that lasts, not on short-term results. 

Brand also an important issue that many ignore: leadership training does not work if it is not connected to hiring, promotions, and performance reviews. His system brings these elements together in a simple and effective way.

A Message from the Author

“Most leadership training is forgettable because it’s built on theory, not reality. Mind the Gap closes the gap between what organizations teach and what leaders actually need to do on Monday morning. After 25 years inside some of the world’s most demanding organizations, I wrote the book I wish had existed when I started.”

The event featured in-depth exchanges of insights on international enrollment, student success, compliance, and strategic partnerships

United States, 27th Jun 2026 — GoElite, the global education platform that connects international students with top universities and hybrid programs, today announced that it convened a PDSO and DSO Roundtable on May 27, 2026. A Principal Designated School Official (PDSO) is a school’s primary administrator authorized by the U.S. government to manage student visa documents and ensure institutional compliance with immigration. The event featured international education professionals and university leaders exchanging insights on university collaboration, international enrollment, student success, compliance, and strategic partnerships. 

“This initiative highlights our growing role in connecting institutions and driving collaborative solutions within the international education community,” said a spokesperson for GoElite. “And, we felt we needed to bring leaders together because of the ongoing regulatory updates affecting F-1 status and Duration of Status (D/S) policy. These changes affect international student recruitment, higher education partnerships, and international student success.”

The Roundtable discussion cut across the most pressing issues facing compliance officers and DSO teams today. These include how institutions are interpreting regulatory changes and how to advise students through the resulting uncertainty. Participants shared insights about the importance of coordination between DSO teams and admissions, academic advisors, and external partners. The Roundtable also served as a venue for an important dialogue about the emotional weight of this moment. 

The spokesperson added, “DSOs are not just technical compliance officers. They are often the first person an international student calls when something goes wrong, such as when a problem emerges with immigration status.”

Orchestrating Your Own Life explores personal growth, financial recovery, and effective creditor communication.

Seattle, Washington, United States, 27th Jun 2026 – Author, former Certified Public Accountant, Chief Financial Officer, and Army Reserve Finance Corps veteran Nicholas Goodfellow, Jr. announces the release of his new nonfiction book, Orchestrating Your Own Life: Fifty Commonsensical Ways to Cultivate Well-Being and Financial Freedom – A Layman’s Guide to Effectively Negotiate with Credit Card Companies.

The book arrives at a time when many Americans continue to face financial pressures related to consumer debt, rising living costs, and tax obligations. In addition to offering practical negotiation strategies for dealing with credit card companies, the book discusses broader financial challenges that individuals may encounter while working toward financial stability.

Currently available on Amazon Kindle, the book is expected to become available in additional print and audio formats through major distribution channels.

About the Book

Drawing from decades of experience in finance, leadership, military service, and personal financial recovery, Goodfellow provides readers with a candid account of overcoming debt-related challenges while sharing practical insights into communication, perseverance, and financial decision-making.

The guide includes:

• Credit card debt negotiation strategies
• Communication techniques for discussing hardship with creditors
• Insights into repayment plans and settlement discussions
• Financial recovery after personal and professional setbacks
• Leadership, discipline, and accountability principles
• Family, faith, and resilience during adversity
• Practical considerations related to debt management and financial planning

Through real-life examples and personal experiences, the author explains how unresolved financial obligations can create additional stress and why informed communication with creditors can play an important role in managing financial challenges.

Addressing Financial Challenges in Today’s Environment

The book is being released during a period when many taxpayers continue to review financial matters stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to publicly available guidance, certain taxpayers may wish to review their tax records and consult qualified professionals regarding potential eligibility for adjustments, credits, refunds, or other tax-related considerations before applicable deadlines.

Eligible individuals may have until July 10, 2026 to request reviews or submit claims related to certain tax matters, depending on their specific circumstances and applicable IRS requirements. Readers are encouraged to consult qualified tax professionals to determine eligibility and understand relevant deadlines.

Goodfellow notes that individuals dealing with tax concerns are often the same people struggling with consumer debt and financial uncertainty.

“People dealing with IRS issues are often the same people overwhelmed by past-due credit cards,” said Goodfellow. “This book is designed to help everyday consumers better understand how to communicate with creditors and approach financial challenges with greater confidence and preparation.”

A Personal Story of Resilience and Reinvention

Unlike traditional personal finance books that focus primarily on budgeting and investing, Orchestrating Your Own Life blends memoir, financial education, and life lessons into a narrative designed to help readers better understand the emotional and practical realities of debt management.

Drawing on his background as a CFO, CPA, entrepreneur, and Army Reserve veteran, Goodfellow shares how he confronted personal financial setbacks, relied on faith, family support, and perseverance, and worked toward rebuilding financial stability.

The book also explores the importance of mindset, emphasizing accountability, discipline, gratitude, and daily habits that support long-term financial well-being. Throughout the narrative, Goodfellow incorporates music, personal memories, and life experiences as tools for reflection and resilience.

Themes Relevant to Today’s Readers

At its core, Orchestrating Your Own Life explores:

• Financial literacy and personal responsibility
• Debt management and creditor communication
• Resilience during economic uncertainty
• The relationship between emotional well-being and financial health
• Faith, gratitude, and perseverance during difficult seasons
• Long-term approaches to rebuilding financial stability

The book is intended for readers seeking practical guidance, personal encouragement, and a relatable perspective on navigating life’s financial challenges.

Industry Perspective

Jason Collins, Senior Manager at the publishing house, commented on the book’s relevance in today’s economic environment:

“As many households continue to navigate debt-related challenges and financial uncertainty, this book provides practical insights that may help readers better understand their options, communicate more effectively with creditors, and make informed financial decisions alongside qualified professionals.”
