Founder Debra Shepherd, a dedicated educator, consistently customizes the educational experience for those studying at home or who require additional support. The program kicks off with an informative first session, focusing on diagnostic lessons, communication, and relationship building. Light Up Literature stands out by treating students as unique individuals and incorporating engaging educational games to ensure active participation. Shepherd emphasizes the importance of understanding children's potential first and then incorporating enjoyable learning experiences for their early development. “With my homeschooling, I want to provide a learning environment that addresses educational needs and fosters growth and confidence in students,” says Shepherd. Debra Shepherd, with her experience in teaching students with ADHD, emphasizes the importance of recognizing children’s accomplishments and adding educational games to the curriculum. The program aims to transition students from one level to another, making learning enjoyable and meeting the specific needs of each student. Looking ahead to March 2024, Shepherd plans to enhance the program, introducing changes to make it more accessible and engaging for students. This commitment is echoed through the incorporation of educational games and a focus on a fun learning environment.

This will build a strong teacher-parent relationship while integrating the child's interests into the curriculum. “I believe that getting to know the students and building their confidence is key to a productive learning experience,” emphasizes Shepherd.

Renowned leadership coach reveals framework for Money DNA success workshop

Prodigy Press Wire

Daniel Mangena, author speaker, and leadership coach, reveals the framework for his entrepreneurial and leadership coaching practice. Mangena’s framework for entrepreneurship coaching, which is called Money DNA, consists of five pillars. The focus of the five pillars is for people to discover their own unique relationship with generating money, discover which aspects of their money DNA are out of alignment, and get them aligned to create large financial results. One of the main focuses of the five-pillar model is guiding people to see how well they communicate with themselves and the people around them, how people are making decisions, and ensuring they will take action. Mangena has found when he applies this model to the people he works with he can guarantee they will see a fixed outcome of success in the future. The first pillar of the Money DNA model is centered around money manifestation, which is a vehicle that is used to find out the most effective way individuals or businesses attract money. Mangena encourages his clients to ask themselves three important questions, which are what money-making opportunities have they recently engaged with, which opportunities have brought them abundance with ease and flow, and what has and has not worked for them and why? The second pillar focuses on the roles people have when they’re looking at the creation of wealth and abundance. Mangena has found there is a vehicle within which there is an aligned way for people to improve their daily contributions that will lead to securing their personal goal of attaining wealth and abundance. For the third pillar, Mangena focuses on communication and all the different ways in which people communicate their ideas internally and to other people. He says if there is a lack of communication it will lead to a breakdown in a person being able to properly manage themselves, a team, or a group of people. Mangena will help his clients to look at all their internal communications to identify problematic solutions and devise solutions, which can be implemented to improve communication. Once the first three pillars have successfully been worked through, Mangena guides his clients through the fourth and fifth pillars, which center on decision and action. According to Mangena, everybody has an optimal body-based decision-making process that they can follow. When working with his clients Mangena identifies their decision-making process and links it with the goals they are trying to achieve. In the last pillar, Mangena implements methods in which his clients can take action and create a physical transformation in their lives. “The Money DNA classes are meant to help people build wealth and achieve the goals they are working towards in their lives,” says Mangena. “Many of the people I have worked with in the past and still to this day are doing very well, and have been able to far exceed their goals they initially had.” Media Contact Name: Renee Talbot Email: media@dreamwithdan.com Release ID: 874730

Sui Tops $300M in TVL, Passes Bitcoin and Joins Upper Echelon of DeFi Protocols

Sui

2000% increase in TVL and superior technology are causing builders to choose Sui, most recently, top lending protocol, Solend. Sui, a leading Layer 1 blockchain created by the team that led Meta’s Diem stablecoin project, has surged past $300M in Total Value Locked (TVL) continuing to climb the ranks of DefiLlama’s leaderboard. This sudden milestone underscores the ecosystem’s rapid ascent and further solidifies Sui’s position as a leader in the DeFi space, surpassing Bitcoin to make it the 13th-largest blockchain in terms of TVL. This achievement marks a more than 2000% increase in TVL since August. "$300 million in TVL is a significant milestone—one in a string of achievements the Sui ecosystem has reached only months since mainnet launch,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. "As market sentiment strengthens and focus turns to the fundamentals of the technology, it is extremely gratifying to see the work of the Sui community bear fruit and Sui’s ecosystem growth leading the industry forward.” Besides reaching this important TVL result so soon after launching its mainnet, other recent milestones achieved by Sui include surpassing $100 million in bridged USDC, handling the most transactions in a single day by any blockchain, and achieving a demonstrated TPS of 297,000 transactions per second all without any disruption of the network or a spike in fees—clearly demonstrating the chain’s ability to scale. The protocols contributing to Sui’s DeFi TVL are led by the Decentralized Exchange (DEX) Cetus with $62M locked in, followed by Navi Protocol ($60M, up 210% over the last 30 days), Scallop Lend ($54M), DeepBook ($33M), and FlowX Finance ($31M). During the past few months, the Sui ecosystem has welcomed many new projects building on its blockchain. Solend—a leading lending protocol on Solana—just announced its intention to expand to Sui as its first alternative ecosystem with its upcoming Suilend, while Bluefin, a leading derivatives trading protocol that began on Arbitrum, recently shuttered its Arbitrum implementation to devote the entirety of its resources to leveraging the uniquely performant Sui platform. Sui has also achieved some remarkable technology and infrastructure breakthroughs. After the September launch of zkLogin—which allows users to create and access Web3 wallets by simply using web2 social credentials like Google and FaceBook—the recent launch of zkSend represented a pioneering effort to make Web3 transactions as easy as sending an email. Thanks to its object-centric model and powerful infrastructure, Sui’s unparalleled potential for mass adoption arises from its simplicity for developers, scalability, and rapid transaction processing for broader use cases.

Consumer Edge Data Reveals Most Verticals Achieved Positive Global Growth in H2 2023

Consumer Edge

Data from Consumer Edge (CE), a provider of global consumer data-driven insights, uncovers winners and losers across the globe in H2 2023. The report reveals which key industries experienced gains across the US, UK and EU. Notably, the most discretionary categories such as luxury and department stores were absent from the list. Online retailers, pet products/services, discount/club stores, ground transportation, health products/services grocery and limited-service restaurants were the only industries that grew sales across all geographies. “In reviewing our global spending data, the CE Insight Center uncovers winners and losers among key industries during the second half of 2023,” said Michael Gunther, Vice President and Head of Insights at Consumer Edge. “These takeaways highlight shifts in consumer behavior and can help companies develop specific themes and targets for 2024.” Online retailers stood out on the upside, as growth accelerated into H2 following a solid performance in the beginning of the year. Luxury: Consumer spending on luxury items declined across all three geographies. As inflation continues to squeeze real incomes and aspirational shoppers pull back on particularly pricey items, luxury became the worst performer out of all the industries in the US and UK and the second worst in the EU (second only to travel). This decreased appetite for direct-to-consumer luxury spilled over into the full-price department store space across the globe. Apparel, Accessories and Footwear posted mixed results, as strength in fast fashion offset softness in the other categories. Consumer spending at fast fashion brands grew in the US, UK and EU, as the challenging macroeconomic environment and strained budgets generated increased interest in more affordable items. Consumer spend growth was negative globally for the higher-ticket women’s apparel/accessories sub-industry. Restaurant spending growth decelerated from H1 to H2, although both full-service and limited-service ended 2023 on a positive note. The average check increased compared to 2022 as food and labor inflation persists. Consumers visited limited-service restaurants more in 2023 than in 2022, but trips declined for their full-service peers, reflecting an environment of strained consumer budgets and trade-down behavior. Home and Garden sales in the US declined in H2 2023 as high mortgage rates and limited supply continued to pressure housing market activity. Sales increased modestly in the UK and EU, although growth softened versus H1 2023, consistent with many other areas of the consumer economy. “Brands can identify impactful shifts in consumer behavior and new emerging trends by reviewing transaction data,” Gunther said. “By leveraging this data, companies can make more informed data-backed business decisions in the year ahead.” Insights Methodology The Consumer Edge Insight Center (CEIC) provides timely insight into global spending trends for consumer industries and individual brands built from transaction data across the US, UK and Continental Europe. About Consumer Edge Consumer Edge (CE) provides data-driven insights focused on the global consumer. Founded in 2009 by CEO Bill Pecoriello, CE is a data and insights as a service (IaaS) company delivering unparalleled views into global consumer spending behavior coupled with deep industry knowledge and analytical expertise.
