A Path To Discover

Collected architectural projects by the PAI Design firm.

Scientists offer personal accounts of the challenges, struggles, successes, U-turns, and satisfactions encountered in their careers in industry, academia, and government. This insightful book offers essential life and career lessons for newly minted STEM graduates and those seeking a career change. Thirty-six leading scientists and engineers (including two Nobel Prize winners) describe the challenges, struggles, successes, satisfactions, and U-turns encountered as they established their careers. Readers learn that there are professional possibilities beyond academia, as contributors describe the paths that took them into private industry and government as well as to college and university campuses. They discuss their varying preferences for solitary research or collaborative teamwork; their attempts to achieve work-life balance; and unplanned changes in direction that resulted in a more satisfying career. Women describe confronting overt sexism and institutional gender bias; scientists of color describe the experience of being outsiders in their field. One scientist moves from startup to startup, enjoying a career of serial challenges; another spends decades at one university; another has worked in academia, industry, and government. Some followed in the footsteps of parents; others were the first in their family to go to college. Many have changed fields, switched subjects, or left established organizations for something new. Taken together, these essays make it clear that there is not one path to a profession in science, but many.

Reinvention strategist Marshawn Evans Daniels delivers a practical and inspirational guide for women ready to reclaim their lives and discover a higher purpose, demonstrating that through disruption, life can become sweeter than you ever imagined—Believe Bigger is “your most inspiring girlfriend in book form” (Booklist). Marshawn Evans Daniels thought she was on the right path. She was an accomplished business woman and high-powered sports attorney ready to marry the man of her dreams—until she learned just days before a fairytale wedding that he was cheating on her. After this betrayal flipped her seemingly perfect world upside down, she found herself craving significance, not just success. Believe Bigger is about resilience, reclaiming your life, and discovering how God uses rejection, hardship, and unexpected circumstances to awaken something greater within...if you’re willing to embrace disruption. You’ll see her go from heartbroken and hitting rock bottom financially, to building a multi-million-dollar faith-centered enterprise and finding something super sweet along the way: a calling. Through Marshawn’s own “very compelling personal story of betrayal, heartbreak, and—in the end—healing” (Faith Jenkins, TV personality and host of Judge Faith) will show you how you too can turn pain into purpose. Believe Bigger is “a great guide to making seemingly impossible dreams a reality” (Michelle McKinney Hammond, bestselling author). Whether you are drowning in self-doubt and regret, feeling stuck, or sensing a shift but unable to discern what’s next, Marshawn’s Purpose Map outlining the 5 Stages of Divine Reinvention will give you insight into your true gifts and calling—and the courage to pursue them. You’ll see that difficulties are not designed to devastate you, but to ignite the bigger dreams, life, love, and abundance you were destined for all along.

"Niche is your itch." It is finding a specific area of interest or expertise that satisfies a personal desire or passion. Every one of us has to convey that niche should be something that one is personally motivated to explore, learn, and develop. A niche is of vital importance because it penetrates through a market segment or a specific aspect of a larger industry. For example, someone may have a niche in rare books of a specific category or alternative readings of related topics. The key to finding a successful niche is to identify something important and meaningful to exercise and develop skills and knowledge in that area. Having a personal interest in your niche can motivate and engage a specified segment of individuals and help them face some of the challenges and obstacles. When you are passionate about your work, you are more likely to put in the time and effort needed to become an expert and to continue learning and growing in that area. Working on the niche for a better cause encourages individuals to find their unique area of focus create a fulfilling and successful career or personal project, and make a positive impact on others through your work.
