Nick Rayder shares his art and shows how it tagged along with him throughout his life. He describes the “art gene” and how everyone had the ability to be creative, no matter what form it takes.
San Carlos Apache Reservation, Fr. Gino Piccoli, OFM by Nick Rayder (ISBN 3978-1-61956-016-1 0) In 2011 I interviewed the priest there, Fr. Gino Piccoli, who served the Apache community for over 15 years and incorporated Apache art and culture into the Catholic church and mass.
The Leap of Faith The Dance of Change-The Life-Planning Workbook, I wrote this 178 page workbook with Sandy Fails about a process that I developed and used with individual clients, and in workshops. The process guides individuals to discover their life goals and “true self” (as per Thomas Merton OFM), helps them identify contributing and distracting forces affecting their journey, then designs specific activities that satisfy their life goals. It is empowering and especially helpful for individuals in transition.
The Diagnosis and Treatment of an Organization’s Work Climate by Nicholas F. Rayder, PhD, 6/2015 revision. This paper reports on the Work Climate Questionnaire, a simple and valid (published research) instrument and process to measure the impact of forces in the employee’s work environment. “Force field” charts are developed from employee ratings of forces affecting their performance. Charts allow the evaluator to diagnose specific supporting and stressful conditions and to plan specific treatments. I want people to use this technique for the rational, humane, and effective use of people and give the rights freely.
More Spring Chicken Cartoons Includes past cartoons printed larger and with clearer type. Plus the latest cartoons including several that depict the continuing saga of the flamboyant “Eddie Two Shoes” as he tries to dance with Sally and avoid Rachael. Reading it may knock your socks off. Or better yet, will give you one or more of those ‘belly laughs’ I recommended.
