Languages are inseparable from their contexts of use. They are not only congruent with, but also involved in the configuration of the worldviews and value systems manifested in cultures and embodied in texts. The spread of English worldwide foregrounds the issue of textual dynamics in intercultural settings. The production/reception of texts in English facilitates international contacts and exchanges, yet it also triggers hegemonic practices. The volume aims to investigate the representations and negotiations of sociocognitive identities in intercultural settings relevant for 'good practice'. Contributions explore 'languaging' strategies (verbal, visual, multimodal; English monolingual, bilingual, multilingual) through a range of methodological perspectives wherein the respect for sociocultural differences is a constitutive value.

In the poetic memoir That Which Awakens Me, Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke shares her journey of self-discovery from a law school graduate to a creative woman who learned to open the door to authentic living. When Leeke graduated from law school in 1989, she was a twenty-something with a life plan focused on becoming a successful attorney. Using her multiple bar exam failures and two bouts of unemployment as a catalyst for self-discovery and lifestyle reinvention, Leeke followed her own unique path during the past twenty years and made changes in the way she feels, thinks, lives, works, and manages her finances. Through poetic reflection and personal stories, she shares the lessons that taught her to trust her intuition, expand her spiritual practices, heal emotional wounds, tap into her creativity, discover her passions, open her eyes to hidden opportunities, volunteer and serve her local community, travel the world, and heed her calling as a writer, artist, creativity coach, yoga teacher, Reiki Master practitioner, radio host, blogger, social media strategist, and innerpreneur. That Which Awakens Me provides insight for anyone seeking guidance on how to both handle and benefit from the ups and downs of their own life journey.

I believe that any competent team can achieve high-performance. With this book I have attempted to map a simple model which I’ve used to help accelerate team-journeys to automatic excellence. I am convinced that any average leader can command respect and champion a cause if they understand how to elevate their influence. This book outlines a “3M” formula which distils the lessons I’ve learned working with elite teams in a dozen countries, numerous industries, and over several decades! For a leader or team to transform from Average to Automatic, a shift is needed in 3 areas: Mindset, Method, and Mood [3M]. Find out what “3M” Means and Master a new reality by applying some of the ideas contained within. Winning sports teams and elite organisations exemplify the 3M formula. Several of these examples are referenced in this book. The connection between each M as it relates to leadership, teamwork, and discipline is also unpacked. Accelerate from where you are today, to where 3M-excellence is Automatic.

I found that the words just flowed onto the pages and that I looked forward to publishing something new each week. It was not a chore; it was an indulgence!
