YASS, New South Wales, Nov. 24, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Readers are in for an inspiring and moving experience as Xlibris announces the release of author Nola Anne Hennessy's books on excellence, great leadership and positive personal power, No Boxing Allowed and Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) to Positive Mental Attitude (PMA). These two compassionate and empowering self-help books offer readers the opportunity to take complete control of their outcomes, rediscover themselves at a deep spiritual level, understand the consequences of inappropriate and controlling behaviors and attitudes, journey way beyond their current boundaries and realize the greatest gift to themselves and our world -- positive personal power.

In Nola's first book, No Boxing Allowed published August 27th, she guides readers through a journey of self discovery, awakening and challenging their opinions, values and attitudes at the same time. Readers are given an invaluable checklist on great leadership behaviors together with sound advice on relationship management in all contexts -- personal, business, national and global. Nola pays particular attention to power and control and its use in traditional 'command and control' organizations and contexts. Nola shows readers the negative patterns that permeate society; she provokes thought; she encourages selflessness for the good of humanity; and she encourages everyone to trust their innate ability to discern information and truth to enable the realization of our greatest potential.

In her sequel book on relationships, harmony and change, From Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) to Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), published October 29th, Nola reinforces compassion with this easy-to-read Change Management Guide for Women (and their Men). Nola presents herself as living proof that PMS is curable and that women and men, and society in general, can no longer hide behind this label and uses it as an excuse or crutch. Nola blows the myths of 'PMS' and that 'women and men think differently' right out of the water. Women and men are shown the very bright light at the end of the sometimes dark tunnel of misunderstanding. They are enlightened in a most provocative yet caring way to manage change, to focus positively on the future and realize that what we have for centuries been programmed to believe about PMS and other relationship boundaries and restrictions is now a thing of the past!

A priceless gift for any woman and man who believes in themselves and others, these companion books are presented to readers in a clear, concise, truthful, fact-based format. They are Nola's special gift to the world and are the foundation for her work as a leadership and positive personal power consultant to individuals, groups, organizations, charities and countries.
