Business Leadership Guru 'Kisses Theory Good Bye'
According to Bob Prosen, "the mission of The Prosen Center is to help business leaders rapidly increase performance, productivity and profits." Not one to embellish ideas or thoughts, Prosen is the author of the best-selling, multi award winning business book, Kiss Theory Good Bye, published in 2006.
Prosen recently recorded an interview with Peter Clayton, host of the popular online career radio show, Total Picture Radio. The former Fortune 100 executive discussed with Clayton "proven tools and techniques" he has developed for becoming a high-performance leader. With more than 25 years of global business experience, the Dallas, Texas-based leadership expert likes to cut through "theory, speculation and hype" and "deliver bottom-line results." In fact, in doing research for the interview, Clayton found the primary reaction to Bob Prosen's workshops and his book was: "I can put what I've learned to use immediately." Clayton discovered this very consistent reaction to Kiss Theory Good Bye, from reader's reviews of his book on Amazon.com, and the testimonials on the author's web site from participants in his workshops.
Prosen calls his results-driven process "The Five Attributes of Highly Profitable Companies." These attributes frame his workshops, serve as the section titles of his book and guide the discussion of the Total Picture Radio interview.

Are U.S. Business's Waiting For Identity Theft and The Facta Law Axe To Fall?
On June 1, 2005, a new provision of the Facta Law went into effect that gives a great deal of responsibility and monetary liability to business owners. Some business owners understood that they had additional responsibility with regard to safeguarding information and implemented document destruction policies they thought would safeguard them from liability. Unfortunately, document destruction was only part of the requirement. According to some published information, only 2% of identity theft is a result of "dumpster diving". That leaves a 98% chance of compromise to "other" means. Companies must render the information that they maintain.....useless. Take a look at the unfortunate incident with the V.A. Imagine if the Veteran's Administration had employed a proactive program to render their data useless such as the one offered. The records compromised would have little value to identity theives. There is still a way to stem any potential fraud. A Pennsylvania company is promoting a program that will help make any information that a company maintains on employees and or clients....unusable. The concept is somewhat simple. You can access this information by entering "Facta Law" or "Facta Liability" as a search term on almost all of the major search engines. You will find the information that you need under "How Facta Impacts Your Business". The solution is to protect your employees and clients which in turn will protect your business. Facta has assigned a great deal of liability to business's and it cannot be ignored. You can also contact Advanced Progressive Solutions for more information. Go to www.advancedprogressive.com and protect your employees who are your greatest asset, while also protecting your business. Be proactive and "Dont Wait Until The Damage Is Done". The survival of your business may depend on it.
