My Cup Runneth Over : Setting Goals For Single Parents and Working Couples [Paperback]

Daryl D. Green (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1998

How do families find balance? Although the immediate answer is unclear, one thing is certain -- the American family needs help. My Cup Runneth Over guides families in setting goals for themselves. Daryl and his wife have first-hand experience on this subject, both working full-time jobs, and raising three active children. This book uses a new management process called Meshing TM. The book is very different from most family books, focusing more on practical solutions. Daryl has used our experience as managers from the government, nonprofit, and private business sectors to assist families in this country to do what we have done--take control of our family. Written in an informal, entertaining style, it provides information to families that give them HOPE. Creatively illustrated with graphics and charts, the book is also indexed for quick reference. It is essential reading for families in search of purpose.

Editorial Reviews

Review

It [Meshing process] is the same management techniques he [Daryl] and Estraletta, who holds a bachelors degree in civil engineering from Southern University A&M , use in their professional careers which they bring to their family coaching sessions, small groups and workshops. -- Dorothy Senn The Oak Ridger

Thank you for sharing My Cup Runneth Over. I found this book to be readable, comprehensive, and analytical enough to teach lessons. You showed an openness and willingness to trust your own experiences. -- Administration for Children and Families Department of Health & Human Services

The same principles that work in the workplace can be adapted to work for families, according to the Knoxville couple, Daryl and Estraletta Green...the couple, who also run a part-time consultant business, discovered the family goal-setting provided a way to establish and focus on family priorities in spite of the demands on their lives. -- Jacquelyn Brown, Knoxville-News Sentinel

Through Greens book and new consulting company called Performance Management & Logistics Associates, parents learn to communicate more openly, create written long-term and short-term family goals and stay dedicated to priorities. -- Teri Bailey, The Shreveport Times Newspaper
