About the Book
Does game play hold the key to a better employee experience?
These days, the average employee already works hard, but navigating constant meetings, demanding tasks, deadlines, and trainings to keep up with the consistently-evolving corporate landscape through an entire pandemic often leaves them burned out and overwhelmed. The rules for engagement in business and in life are changing…and employees are demanding to be more active in creating the new rules.
In The Play-Based Organization: Leveraging Individual Creativity for Organizational, Outcomes-Based Innovation, Dr. Sandra Cleveland tackles employee disengagement spurned on by rigid company cultures by using the one tool many employers fail to realize can boost morale and save their company roster: game play. Employees who are emotionally and psychologically attached to their jobs and the workplace themselves is critical to stellar performance; gamification is a practical solution to increasing productivity, while letting the adults play!
Immerse yourself in the pages as Dr. Cleveland redefines the definition of employees and the workplace, while providing strategies to thread gamification with corporate success. We used to play for self-development, right? Why not play to WIN? If you want to find joy inside the 9-5 as well as home, The Play-Based Organization: Leveraging Individual Creativity for Organizational, Outcomes-Based Innovation is the book for you. Now…let’s play!

Rediscovering Dad and Discovering Myself: A Journey Through the Impact of Alzheimer’s
By Brandon Burke
Brandon Burke grew up not always having the closest relationship with his father. However, as life would have it, his father’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s in 2015 afforded the opportunity for Brandon not only to become closer to his father but also to become his steadfast caregiver. Through this disease, Brandon has found his passion and inspiration to help others who are in similar situations by sharing his experiences. Brandon tells the story of his relationship with his father growing up, leading up to him being diagnosed, and he hopes to shed some light on a devastating diagnosis and his family history of Alzheimer’s.
“It is my hope that this book will provide a path for Alzheimer’s caregivers to follow so that they will know they are not alone; shed light on the role of caregivers who are often unsung heroes when it comes to serious and/or terminal illnesses; bring more awareness to the world about the effects of Alzheimer’s Disease; and highlight the bond between father and son,” Brandon relates.
Rediscovering Dad & Discovering Myself: A Journey Through the Impact of Alzheimer’s is a compassionate and insightful journey with Brandon Burke, as he comes to understand the immense impact that his father had on his life.

Section 8 to C.E.O
By Kinyatta Gray
From Section to C.E.O” is an epic and triumphant tale of courage, grit, and resilience about how a woman managed to navigate her most vulnerable times.
With nothing more but the desire to attain the “American Dream”, this story follows Heaven, an intelligent, driven and determined young woman who is more than capable of achieving everything she wants but is plagued by one fatal flaw; the will to take shortcuts on her road to success.
Heaven’s dream seemed to have found its form when she becomes pregnant and has a child for her white, high school sweetheart (the heir to a multi million-dollar family fortune), and with it came the feeling that her dreams and perfect life would be all but secured.
Unfortunately, her nightmares were just about to begin.
Knowledge of her African-American ethnicity causes Heaven not only to lose her dream life but causes her man’s family to disown him, thereby throwing a wrench in her already scripted, shortcut means to achieve all she ever dreamed about.
Doused in failure, lack, stagnation, and suffering beyond anything she had ever imagined, Heaven finds herself seeking a way out of it all… a way to bring her pain to an end…
Scripted with courage, grace and rare insight, bestselling author “Kinyatta E. Gray” captures the epic panorama of a woman’s worth, with her main intent being the desire to tell the heartbreaking story of a beautiful and resilient mother’s spirit, in relation to women in general all around the world.
