The Power Series
More Than a Manuscript
Carla Michelle's debut book moves beyond a good read and serves as a guide to pain-fueled, prolific transformations. Simple enough to be read in a few settings, it's meaty enough to last a lifetime. The missing ingredient readers come to recognize is how to use pain in a positive way that can shift the trajectory of their outcomes.
The Power of Your Pain integrates evocative narrative vignettes with practical applications and interactive questions that put the reader in the driver's seat. It has since inspired the Power Series - devoted to helping consumers and corporations everywhere who are affected by pain directly or indirectly - and it is tailored for schools, organizations and churches.
Sessions are available as Keynote Presentations or interactive workshops in forms of 2, 4 or 8 hr. blocks. Customizable packages available.
