Using the Enneagram to Improve Communication in Christian Marriages

NEW YORK—November 1, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, Becoming Us: Using the Enneagram to Create a Thriving Gospel-Centered Marriage, by Beth McCord and James McCord, is an effective tool to help couples understand their personalities, break unhelpful patterns, and truly enjoy each other and their marriage. Co-authored by Beth McCord, a Certified Enneagram Coach, and Jeff McCord, a Presbyterian (PCA) pastor, Becoming Us provides a glimpse into how the Enneagram, when used from a biblical perspective, can provide astonishing clarity to couples. Beth and Jeff are motivated to help couples discover their core motivations and learn how their family of origin shapes the way they relate to their spouse.

Beth and Jeff McCord claim that a marriage cannot grow and heal unless both partners are dedicated to that goal. In Becoming Us, Beth and Jeff break down each Enneagram type by its core motivations, listing each personality’s fears, desires, weaknesses, and longings, as a way for couples to better identify each others’ types, as well as their own. The McCords also describe how childhood experiences, parenting styles, trauma, and relational dynamics in a family can shape a spouse’s expectations for marriage, when the reality of marriage could be very different. Beth and Jeff encourage couples to intentionally look into their pasts, in order to better understand their core motivations, as well as their spouse’s.

Becoming Us is designed to bring couples back to what is truly important: their relationship with God, their spouse, and themselves. Beth and Jeff McCord write in a narrative style, which richly supports the information they share. They include a very approachable resource section that features detailed descriptions of the nine Enneagram personality types so couples can quickly refer to information as needed.

Avoiding Career Burnout as an Educator and Leader

NEW YORK—October 22, 2019—Morgan James’s new release, The Empowered Principal: The School Leader’s Alternative to Career Burnout, by Angela Kelly Robeck, is a brave undertaking of a topic many people are not willing to talk about: stamina and emotional resiliency for educators. As a former school leader and teacher, Angela Kelly Robeck helps principals who feel discouraged at the lack of control they feel over their job and personal life, allowing them to find a new perspective on working to exhaustion, saying yes when they don’t want to, and completely dreading going to work each day.

The Empowered Principal is a guide for principals who are newer to the field, who may feel overwhelmed by the responsibility they have taken on as a school leader. Angela Robeck understands the frustration of newly appointed principals, describing the difficulty of meeting federal and state regulations, district policies, parental pressures, and societal expectations that are all higher than ever, tempting many principals to consider alternate livelihoods. Robeck shares how to manage the overwhelming stress of school leaders through practical tips for working each day with joy and accomplishment.

As firsthand advice from a former principal, The Empowered Principal supports educators as they question their future in the profession. Angela Robeck explains why school leaders stay in their jobs, how to confidently stay or peacefully leave the profession, and why educators are afraid to speak up. Robeck offers a frank assessment for principals to determine whether they should confidently stay in the job despite feelings of burnout or peacefully leave with no regrets. She provides relief for educators, explaining how they have the power and ability to adjust their approach from a place of defeat to one of empowerment, through mindfulness of their thoughts and emotional state.

The Courage to Go Forward Lands on Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestsellers Lists

NEW YORK—September 17, 2019—Morgan James is pleased to announce that a year after the original publication date, The Courage to Go Forward: The Power of Micro Communities by David Cordani, president and CEO of Cigna, and Dick  Traum, founder of Achilles International, landed on the USA Today  and the Wall Street Journal bestsellers lists.

The Courage to Go Forward is an inspiring collection of stories written by two successful leaders that demonstrate the power and triumph of the human spirit and provides valuable insight into the importance of micro communities, tight-knit groups of like-minded people who can empower individuals to achieve the unimaginable. It features stories of individuals who have overcome devastating physical trauma and, through running and racing, have redefined who they are. Largely focused on the inspirational relationship between Cigna, a global health service company, and Achilles, a nonprofit helping individuals with disabilities find empowerment through mainstream athletics, The Courage to Go Forward provides a powerful example of how corporate and non-profit partners together can enact change.

Although David and Dick come from very different backgrounds, they have a similar set of passions – athletics and societal change – that eventually brought them together. In their latest endeavor, they come together to write The Courage to Go Forward to out line a “recipe” for building micro communities and highlight examples of what can be achieved when they are formed. They’ve found that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to helping people. But they’ve seen how passionate, mobilized micro communities can come together to fill gaps our societal systems cannot on their own. These systems are typically designed for the “average” person– micro communities come together to meet the unique needs of individuals.

“It is incredibly meaningful and energizing to see the book continue to resonate with people and reach new audiences. Our goal was to start a dialogue and bring people together by sharing the inspiring stories of the athletes profiled in the book. I am hopeful that these stories will further the conversation about micro communities and the important impact they can have on people,” said David.

“We have seen people accomplish what many would consider the impossible. This book is about small groups supporting others, developing friendships and setting goals and it’s incredible to demonstrate and highlight the energy and spirit of those micro communities within this book,” said Dick.

The Courage to Go Forward offers a combination of important business lessons and powerful inspiration that should be required reading for anyone who wants to drive positive societal change. David and Dick encourage readers to confront their fears, set new goals beyond their perceived limitations and forge paths they may not have pursued alone.

All proceeds from the sale of the book go to Achilles to support their programs and athletes.

About the Authors: David Cordani became president and CEO of a global health service company, Cigna, at age 42. He is a prominent voice addressing key health challenges, such as empowering individuals to manage their health, innovating new value-based models of care, and partnering with physicians to focus on integrated care and improved clinical quality. David earned a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M, and an MBA from the University of Hartford. David is also an accomplished athlete, having completed more than 125 triathlons. He has devoted countless hours to serving as a running guide for wounded veterans through his involvement with Achilles International. David currently resides in Connecticut.

After losing his leg at age 24, Dick Traum became the first runner to complete a marathon with a prosthetic leg when he crossed the finish line at the 1976 New York City Marathon. Subsequently in 1983, he founded Achilles International, whose mission is to enable people with all types of disabilities to participate in mainstream running events. Today, Achilles has over 110 chapters in 41 countries. Dick has a BS, MBA and Ph.D. from the Stern School of Business, New York University. Prior to Achilles, he was the founder and President of Personnel Metrics, Inc., (1970-2001) a consulting firm which focused on quantitative analysis in Human Resources. Dick has written an autobiography, A Victory for Humanity (WRS Publishing, 1993), and Go Achilles. He currently resides in New York City, New York.
