New Word City LLC Announces the Publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Jim Champy.

Boston, MA, July 26, 2011 - New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Jim Champy.

From the time the first business opened its doors centuries ago, Champy writes, people have been trying to define the essence of a company. Some have claimed that a business is its bottom line. Others have argued that a company is its customers, or its marketing power, or its products, or its people. Today, what best defines a business, Champy believes, is its processes - all the things a company does to create and sell its goods and services. Here’s how to make the most of yours.

About the Author:

Jim Champy is recognized as the world’s leading authority on the fundamental redesign of business processes, organization, and culture. His bestseller Reengineering the Corporation - A Manifesto for Business Revolution sold more than 3 million copies, and his subsequent books on leadership, change management, and increased growth through counterintuitive thinking have reached wide audiences around the world.

About New Word City:

New Word City LLC is a leader in the emerging field of digital publishing, specializing in and pioneering short-form eBooks on a variety of topics, such as biographies, business, fiction, food, history, sports, and travel.

Bracken International Mining Secures EUR200 Million Funding Facility ahead of Listing

Queensland based Bracken International Mining (BIM) has secured a EUR 200 million funding package through Chinese based Zigong Commercial Equity Partners Fund SP.

Mullumbimby, NSW, July 26, 2011 - The funding structure is a three year facility that will support BIM once it completes its listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in the coming months and is the first funding deal Zigong has facilitated for an Australian company.

BIM executive chairman, Luke Bracken, says the company has moved up the mining ranks from owner operator of one of the largest sand mines in New South Wales to a major stakeholder in five high grade manganese mines in the West Timor province of Indonesia.

"This funding package is the culmination of 15 years successful operation as a private company and will enable BIM to enter the manganese market amongst others, with a truly aggressive global reach," Mr Bracken says.

"We have confirmed reserves in excess of 200 million tons throughout the five mines and our first year revenues will be generated from selling lump ore direct to steel makers in China through relationships with our New York trading partners.

"Along with the take over as majority owner of the mines BIM also takes ownership of the government license to build and operate our own smelter, enabling us to process its 50 to 68 percent lump ore into end grade silicon and ferrous manganese products for steel manufacturing customers in China and Europe."

BIM will run its mines through its mine management company Redstar Mining

The company is also well advanced in negotiations regarding expansion into thermal coal in Australia and Indonesia and gold mining operations in the United States.

Zigong Commercial Equity Partners Fund SP is as segregated portfolio company of Cayman based Equity Partners Fund SPC.

New Word City LLC Announces the Publication of The Making of the Constitution

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Making of the Constitution, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Boston, MA, July 25, 2011 - New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Making of the Constitution, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Fifty-five men from 12 virtually autonomous states came to Philadelphia in 1776 in a brave - some thought foolhardy - attempt to replace a loose and fragile confederation with a strong national government. They were politicians, judges, governors, and Revolutionary War veterans. Their differences seemed irreconcilable. For a long, hot summer they debated, argued, and compromised. In the end they carved out a bold new document designed to "secure the blessings of liberty" for American that became a standard of enlightenment the world over. Here is Fleming’s dramatic account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and its astonishing result.

About the Author:

Thomas Fleming is one of the most distinguished and productive historians and novelists of our time. He has written 20 nonfiction books that have won prizes and praise from critics and fellow historians, many focused on the American Revolution. He has also written 23 novels, many of them bestsellers, which explore the lives of men and women in vivid narratives that range from the raw America of the 1730s to the superpower that confronted World War II and endured Korea and Vietnam.

Corporate Leaders Catch Lightning in a Bottle With Change Expert Connie Podesta

Challenging times have corporate leaders turning to high-energy, high-results strategies from Connie Podesta for high-octane competitive edge change.

Dallas, TX, July 23, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Award winning author and Keynote Speaker Connie Podesta turns up the energy levels to teach corporate team members how to compete, communicate and connect to increase market share, customer loyalty and career longevity.

"Competitive edge is never just about the market," says author, keynote speaker and change expert Connie Podesta, "It's ensuring your team has the most effective mindset, strategies, tools and tenacity to successfully STAND OUT when others simply do the expected."

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/booking/ ) doesn't believe in mediocrity. That's what makes her the kind of keynote speaker that corporations are compelled to hire when challenging markets, apathetic attitudes or the crush of negative influences cause team members to question their ability to succeed. Podesta's presentations showcase the STAND OUT STRATEGIES necessary to win when others are quitting, to gain ground where others fail and to raise the integrity level where others take short cuts. She doesn't mince words and she doesn't pacify nay-sayers. Instead, with over-the-top humor and time-proven how-to's, she boldly shares the straight-line, must-have mindsets and skills that salespeople, entrepreneurs and corporate team members need to take their organizations to the next level, regardless of economic conditions.

"You are the first speaker we had ever invited back (by popular request of employees and managers) for a repeat performance. To have our employees request you for a third time is a true testament to your ability to educate, entertain and motivate employees at all levels, in a memorable way," says David A. Berger of Corporate Training and Development at Pennsylvania Blue Shield.

To succeed in sales today, it's imperative to:

* Bypass old mindsets and expand thinking

* Courageously face fears and deliver more than expected

* Engage and communicate more than ever before

* Bring value to everything team players do

Connie Podesta's Stand Out Strategies ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gU3ou8PcqE ) are changing the way corporations communicate - within leadership, with their team members and with their customers. Leaders are re-assessing what it takes - not just to increase productivity and profitability - but create long-lasting, cohesive teams that bring competitive edge results to the market place.

"High performers know that the EASY way isn't always the RIGHT way," explains Connie. "It's exciting to see those leaders and team members who adopt smart strategies and solutions realize that the success they sought wasn't in the short cut - but the long-term, big picture action plans. Business as usual is over - make way for the change!"

10 Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd ( http://1clik2.com/10Ways2StandOut ) is Podesta's award-winning Best Business Book of 2011 which has captivated corporate leaders, with its insightful ideas and results-producing strategies for building stronger customer relationships, invoking productivity boosting activity and changing the way team members think about their roles in a company's success or failure.

About Connie Podesta:

Connie Podesta ( http://www.ConniePodesta.com/speakingtraining ) is a powerhouse of a keynote speaker and award winning author. Her quick wit and comedic timing, coupled with the kind of career-changing how-to's that make even those leaders on the highest rungs of the ladder sit up and take notice, has earned her a worldwide following of fans. Podesta teaches organizations how to build a better business model, raise the bar for team members, and succeed where others accept mediocrity.

For more information on Connie Podesta's schedule and availability or to learn more about her award winning book 10 Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd and the keynote topics that spring from it, contact her team today at 972-596-5501, via email at info@ConniePodesta.com or visit her website online at http://www.ConniePodesta.com

Straight Line Public Relations: 'Art Breakthrough' Offers the Opportunity of a Lif...

Straight Line Public Relations: 'Art Breakthrough' Offers the Opportunity of a Lif...: "A brand new UK art book competition giving visual artists an opportunity in the professional art world. Buckinghamshire, UK, July 21, 2011 ..."

'Art Breakthrough' Offers the Opportunity of a Lifetime to Visual Artists

A brand new UK art book competition giving visual artists an opportunity in the professional art world.

Buckinghamshire, UK, July 21, 2011 - Art Breakthrough, a brand new UK based art competition is giving (international) visual artists the chance to be included in a prestigious publication, scheduled for it's first release on 31st October 2011. The publication will be entirely focused on artist's creations and will be seen by some of UK's most prestigious galleries.

Despite the huge number of opportunities for an artist online, getting artwork published and applying to prestigious galleries has become increasingly difficult and created many new challenges. Most commonly the system requires artists to email their CV including images of their work. With vast numbers of artists applying to galleries, progressively the process has become just as much if not more about whom artists are, as opposed to the art work they produce.

Art Breakthrough is looking to break the limitations of modern challenges faced by artists.

To do this the book will be strictly focused on artist's images. It will not feature any CV's, long articles or biographies and only the artist's name and contact information will be included. The publication will give artists the opportunity to be published and let their artwork speak for itself, while being presented to some of the UK's most prestigious galleries.

"Having your work published is in itself a great achievement and knowing that your work will be presented to some of the finest galleries in the UK is the opportunity of a lifetime. I would recommend it to anybody who believes in their artwork, to take the chance and enter the competition." Paul Fullylove, Artist/Director.

The launch of the art book competition's first issue is entitled "Open Your Eyes" and will include artists with a message in their artwork. Following it's launch in October 2011 Art Breakthrough will continue as a quarterly publication. Each issue will offer a different theme, giving artists of all mediums a wide range of opportunities.

A fantastic concept for both artists and curators, Art Breakthrough has found a way to eliminate the endless CV's and images that curators need to sift through and artists need to email. "This is a fantastic idea, getting the artist's work straight in front of the right people. I love the fact that the book will only contain images, focusing on the art not the artist! Thanks for a great opportunity." Amanda E. Holleran, Artist Agent.

The idea was born when artist and director Paul Fullylove wanted to create a high quality book focused in the UK and aimed at the the top end galleries. A competition created by artists for artists, the Art Breakthrough team is determined to help artists break through the barriers of the art world.

Employee Surveys Can Be Critical to Success

Effective employee surveys are critical to the success and survival of an organization. No organization can achieve its goals without engaged and motivated employees.

Atlanta, GA, July 18, 2011 - Effective employee surveys are critical to the success and survival of an organization. No organization can achieve its goals without engaged and motivated employees. Nobody can engage and motivate employees without knowing what they think of the organization.

Unfortunately many leaders and managers think that they do need employee surveys or employee engagement efforts in today’s world. They believe that employees will stay because of the bad economy. Nothing could be further from the truth because good employees are always in demand and can find job opportunities even in today’s economic environment.

Taking the time to create an effective employee survey can show management what workers think of the organization and the leadership team. It can also identify problems that the management team can address.

Employee Surveys Could Save the Organization Money

Employee surveys can even help an organization save money while making it easier to retain good employees. If management can identify employee concerns and complaints and address them they could be able to retain good employees without increasing pay or benefits.

In many cases the factors that drive good employees to leave have little or nothing to do with salary. These factors can include: Frustration with unpopular or ineffective managers, annoying company policies, the feeling that management is unresponsive, poor attitudes and low employee morale.

Those problems can often be fixed with creative change management and effective leadership. The fixes often do not cost the money but they can retain effective employees. The beginning of such fixes is to develop effective employee surveys.

Identifying the source of common frustrations and complaints is the first step in raising morale and increasing employee engagement. The best means of identifying such problems is effective employee surveys.
