CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times
"Success is not always measured in dollars and cents" Annie Allen, iSeek Solutions, Birmingham, Alabama.
Annie has been a friend for several years and when we interviewed I found out her company name came from the Bible. Annie has a passion for helping others and her business model is hiring others with the talent and knowledge she does not have.
How many times have we all heard "surround yourself with good talent". Annie has done exactly that.

"Id I need to get something done I will. I will go over it, around it or through it, but I will get it done". Charles Collat, Chairman Emeritus, Mayer Electric Supply, Birmingham, Alabama
Persistance pays dividends in so many ways: in sales, in relationships of all kinds, in love, in patience, in exercise, in eating something distasteful, in just about everything in our lives. Two CEO's in the book said this exact same quote. I love it.

CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times quotes from interviews
"Social services in any arena are ripe for innovation", Nancy Dreicer, Regional Director for the Florida Department of Children and Families Northeast Region, Jacksonville, Florida.
Nancy's passion for her job responsibilities is so apparent. Coming from corporate America she said she now works harder than she ever has. She also said when she leave the office there are people still working trying to do something right to help a child or family.
Yet another example of leadership, ethics, compassion and passion for people.

"We're moving to fast. We miss the point. We miss the relationship". Chris Vitek, Enterprise Telemetry Inc. Baltimore, Maryland
I first met Chris prior to this book becoming a reality at a professional conference in St. Louis, Missouri. The second time we met was again at the same conference in Baltimore during the project. When I asked Chris to interview for the book he first said no and then changed his mind.
Glad he did because I enjoyed our conversation that day. Chris is the 21st interview out of the 40 in the book, CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During During Times.

"My passion is to make their lives better". Gary Eduwards, Executive Director at United Cerebal Palsy of Greater Birmingham.
Understanding Gary's passion for this condition and his obvious joy during the Christmas Pageant while the audience is full of parents, grandparents and a few microphone hoggers it is a joy to obverse these little ones in action. One little guy stood in front of the microphone and belted his little lungs out during one performance. Truly a sight to see with heart warming moments.
Each age group is presented and each group is dressed for the songs they are singing.
I took a friend and we laughed the entire time. I think my cheeks were hurting when we left.

"This is not the same country it was when I was a kid". Bill Mullins, Mullins Rubber Products
While interviewing Bill he gave several examples of changes in our world that were not especially beneficial to society as a whole. Thoughts about change: It is ineviable, it will happen, good and bad change is a given, no one embraces change, government is getting better, the bigger is not good, we have steered away from the founding fathers 180 degrees, at least if not 360 degrees. Big is not always better in churches, in government or in business.
Personal growth is important, awareness is important and understanding the impact of change is important.

“Honesty is number one” Susie Kelley, CEO, Concept, Inc.
Susie and I have known one another for about eight years now. She moved her company's location to accomodate more space and more employees in 2007. Due to a lack of knowledge on the process of telephone lines especially with new construction they experience an outage for 21 days. Stay Connected is another book I penned on the subject of telecommunication. No one should suffer nor should their revenue be at risk due to a lack of knowledge on a process that only someone with a certain type of experience understands.
Our world is so impacted by ethics, non-caring people and now this new book is an example for others to have hope and know some CEO's really do care.
