Bill Ringle Interviews Leadership Expert Jackie Freiberg on My Quest for Best

Leave a comment

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, talked with Jackie Freiberg, bestselling author and award-winning leadership expert, on My Quest for the Best about successful business strategy and leadership.

Philadelphia, PA, December 03, 2012 – Business growth strategist Bill Ringle interviewed Jackie Freiberg, bestselling author and award-winning leadership expert, for My Quest for the Best. In this interview series, Ringle speaks with successful industry experts and outstanding business leaders about their strategies for reaching and influencing significant target audiences, innovative business leadership, breakthrough moments in their career, and the important business and life lessons they’ve gained along the way.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Jackie Freiberg has been helping people build great leadership brands and helping companies become places where the best people can do their best work. She’s on a mission to cure the Dead People Working™ syndrome, and to create a movement of leaders who choose to defy mediocrity, take charge of their success at work, and make a difference in their own little corner of the world. Freiberg was chosen as a “Top 5 Leadership Speaker” by the vote of over 13,000 leaders around the globe, and was named one of the “Top 30 Best Minds on Leadership” by Leadership Excellence Magazine. She is also a bestselling author whose books include Nanovation: How a Little Car Can Teach the World to Think Big and Act Bold; NUTS! The incredible story of Southwest Airlines’ leadership, culture and profitability; and GUTS! The secrets to success from many of the most admired companies in the world. Freiberg has also been an Executiv e Consultant at the Center for Creative Leadership, a Public Speaking Coach to the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Office, and one of only two non-employee members of the Southwest Airlines’ Culture Committee.

In Freiberg’s conversation with Bill Ringle on My Quest for the Best, she offered unique insights and substantive advice drawn from that expertise. Their discussion covered what organizations should do to make strategy part of their culture, how to recognize and avoid “Dead Person Working” syndrome, and what leading companies do to invest in their people. Freiberg also shared her conviction that leadership is really about relationships unfolding and gave tips on how leaders can use feedback as a gift for growth rather than as a destructive tool.

“Jackie Freiberg shares her in-depth knowledge of what really goes on inside companies like Southwest Airlines,” says Ringle. “You’ll find ideas that will make you re-think how your managers and frontline staff relate to customers because many, if not most, companies fail to use customer feedback to improve their internal systems and build stronger relationships. Commercial innovation comes from doing things that haven’t been done before (like injecting humor into the airline safety announcements) and using it to advance your business goals. It takes courage to make some of these changes, and listening to Jackie Freiberg helps you take some of those steps.”

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, is founder of the Rapid Rise Business Growth SystemTM, the proven step-by-step system that shows you exactly how to connect and do business with your ideal customers in record time. He works with high performing entrepreneurs and CEOs who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding business rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles. He has worked on four continents, is the author of four business books, and inspires and educates thousands of business leaders each year through his speaking, coaching, interactive programs, and products.

Bill Ringle Helps Business Owners Achieve More by Overcoming Negative Self-Talk

Leave a comment

AskBillRingle.com’s open conference call for entrepreneurs and business owners on December 6, 2012 will discuss how to stop talking yourself out of being more successful for entrepreneurs and executives.

Philadelphia, PA, November 30, 2012 – Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist, will lead December’s AskBillRingle.com forum, “Stop Talking Yourself Out of Being More Successful,” on Thursday, December 6, at 2:00pm ET. Are you or your colleagues being held back from success? This AskBillRingle.com session – a free seminar that you can join by phone – is designed to help you get out of that trap.

Ringle has tested each of the tips and techniques he’ll cover, both in his own business and with his top clients. These ideas are useful for anyone, but are especially important for executives and entrepreneurs who are responsible for businesses, teams, and the success of others. It’s nearly impossible to inspire other people or grow a business to the fullest when you’re holding yourself back every day, sometimes without realizing it.

Awareness of significant habits and patterns allows you to make changes and upgrades; Ringle will help you put that awareness to use during this teleconference. He’ll discuss practical steps to changing self-talk that limits your achievement, three ways to set up your environments to support your success with more ease and less struggle, and much more.

“What many business leaders know deep down is that we can be our own worst enemies. Each of us has bought into certain specific messages about ourselves that we aren’t good enough, smart enough, or deserving enough (among others) to accomplish the goals we set. That’s a key reason why projects don’t get done on time. I’m looking forward to sharing some great ways of turning down the volume on that inner critic so you can have a bigger vision of yourself and accomplish more right away,” says Ringle.

AskBillRingle.com gives business owners and entrepreneurs answers to their most pressing business growth questions. The website and accompanying conference calls focus on a different subject each month, and give business owners unprecedented access to Ringle’s expertise, experience, and advice. January’s topic, “Leading the Charge,” will provide practical tips for creating and using a business theme for growth with your customers and team members.

Bill Ringle, America’s Business Growth Strategist and Founder of the Rapid Rise Business Growth System, works with entrepreneurs and executives who want to overcome the five big challenges to business growth so that they can run profitable and rewarding businesses rather than become stuck and overwhelmed in unfulfilling and draining roles.

Greater Good Academy Joins with Strings Restaurant to Annouce First Recipient of The Cunningham Award, So Named for The Generous Legacy of Noel and Tammy Cunningham

Leave a comment

Award Honors the Works and Memory of Noel Cunningham; Given to Beverly Grant, Triple Bottom Line Business Owner and Food Educator in Five Points Community

Denver, CO, November 30, 2012 – At the fall 2012 graduation and public showcase of the Greater Good Academy (GGA), Richard Eidlin, executive director, and Tammy Cunningham, owner of Strings Restaurant, announced the first recipient of the Cunningham Award. Awarded to a graduate of the GGA for a food-related, community-minded business exemplifying the ideals of Noel and Tammy Cunningham, the winner of the Cunningham Award is Beverly Grant, founder of Mo’ Betta Green Marketplace.

“Receiving the Cunningham Award is a distinct honor for me,” said Grant, after the presentation at Mi Casa Resource Center. “It motivates me to continue to support the mission of providing fresh, locally grown food and to educate and serve the Five Points Community. The Cunningham Award embodies commitment and vision for a better community.”

Cunningham notes, “I am, and know Noel would be, honored to have a connection with the Greater Good Academy. It helps folks with a hand up rather than a hand out and empowers, encourages, and promotes entrepreneurial skills, while caring about the community. All of which Noel was about.”

The GGA began in 2010 with the goal of supporting early-stage low- and moderate-income entrepreneurs build triple bottom line (people, profit and planet) businesses. During the eight-week business planning program, the GGA trains civic-minded entrepreneurs to create companies and social enterprises that make money, while positively impacting the environment and communities within which they operate. The goal is to create economic self-sufficiency, create jobs and improve the quality of life in Denver.

Eidlin adds, “We have always seen food as a means of building community. A good number of students have started food-related businesses and many restaurants have contributed dinners, including: Strings, Watercourse, SAME Café, Chipotle, Stueben’s, Avenue Grill, Mercury Café and The Saucy Noodle.

Over the past two years, more than 90 entrepreneurs have completed the program. Support for the GGA comes from the City of Denver’s Office of Economic Development, the Colorado Lending Source, UMB Bank, Colorado Enterprise Fund, Accion and Mi Casa Resource Center.

Two Academies are planned for 2013. For more information, contact: Richard Eidlin, 303-478-0131.

On Workplace Learning and Competitive Advantages: a World Future Society Teleseminar

Leave a comment

Bill Ringle will lead a panel discussion on the Future of Workplace Learning on December 5, 2012, with guest experts Joe DiDonato, Patricia Franklin, Kathleen Brush, and Lawrence Lerner.

Springfield, PA, November 30, 2012 – Bill Ringle, popular business growth strategist, CEO of LearnWell, and president of the Philadelphia chapter of the World Future Society, will lead an online panel discussion on the Future of Workplace Learning on December 5, 2012. Guest experts include Joe DiDonato, editor-at-large of eLearning and Government eLearning magazines; Patricia Franklin, former Chief Learning Officer for Vistage International; Kathleen Brush, global management consultant and author; and Lawrence Lerner, founder of Revolutionary Innovator.

The complexity of work in the coming decades will continue to grow, either being supported and driven by technology. In order to keep up, managers and their teams will need to process, understand, and apply new knowledge, skillfully wield new tools, collaborate effectively across more diverse geographic regions and time zones. New and better ways of learning are necessary to enable this inevitable future.

What is the direction of learning in the workplace 10 years from now? Bill Ringle is posing that question to a hand-picked panel of experts from a variety of fields. The group will forecast based on business, technology, finance, communications, and global commerce trends.

“Technology has shifted the playing field in business. Current smartphone capabilities were pure science fiction just ten years ago. We are now able to communicate and share information faster and more cost-effectively with more people than at any other time in history. During this discussion,” Ringle promises, “I’ll be challenging our guest experts to detail their visions of what trends they see in workplace learning so you can gain insights into the risks and potentials ahead.”

During this online panel forum, the group will discuss the specific trends in evidence today that point the way to dramatic changes in workplace learning ten years from now. They’ll also cover which companies and countries are current models of advanced workplace learning, possible characteristics of workplace learning in the future, the dangers of which we should be wary, and much more.

The guest expert panelists are Joe DiDonato, Kathleen Brush, Patricia Franklin, and Lawrence Lerner. Joe DiDonato, Editor-at-Large for Elearning! Magazine, is a “roll-up the sleeves” senior executive whose background spans both the for-profit and non-profit worlds and whose experience ranges from staff and management functions to CEO and board positions. Kathleen Brush, Ph.D., is a global business consultant. Her Ph.D. is in management and international studies, and she has more than 20 years of experience as a senior executive (CEO, GM and CMO) for companies of all sizes, public and private, foreign and domestic. Patricia Franklin is a strategically-minded learning executive and author recognized for implementing award-winning innovative solutions validated by business results with a proven record of executing best-in-class instructional design and e-learning initiatives. Lawrence Lerner has a gift for communicating technology to business executives and business vi sion to technologists. He has a passion for corporate entrepreneurship and has created “game changing” services for the world’s top brands.

The panel discussion will be led by Bill Ringle, a nationally known business growth strategist and president of the World Future Society of Greater Philadelphia. Bill Ringle works with CEOs and their direct reports to accelerate business growth through specialized coaching and mentoring programs. His client roster includes well-known organizations such as DuPont, General Electric, Apple Inc, and the Wharton School, as well as many outstanding, yet lesser-known organizations from many diverse industries. His work has taken him across the United States and Canada, and to Japan, Australia, and Western Europe. He is a frequent radio and television commentator on technology trends in business, and has written over 420 articles for publication in magazines, newspapers, corporate newsletters, and web sites. His weekly interviews with experts, “My Quest for the Best” is listened to by business leaders globally.

Rosendin Electric Receives 2012 DBIA National Design-Build Award

Leave a comment

Design-Build Institute of America Recognizes the Rosendin Electric and Hoffman Construction Design-Build Team for Work on the New Armed Forces Reserve Center at Camp Withycombe.

SAN JOSE, Calif. and HILLSBORO, Ore. (November 29, 2012) — Rosendin Electric, the nation’s largest private electrical contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, has received a 2012 National Design-Build Award in the Civic category from the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) in recognition of support given to Hoffman Construction for the electrical design and construction of the new Camp Withycombe Armed Forces Reserve Center in Clackamas County, Oregon. In previous years, Rosendin Electric has been recognized for work on the Mineta San Jose International Airport, the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant, and the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center, amongst other high-profile projects.

To be considered for a National Design-Build Award, a project must demonstrate the successful application of design-build best practices as defined by the DBIA Design-Build Manual of Practice. Best practices include bringing together key team members during the proposal process, as well as close coordination between design and construction team members from the design development stage through field construction and project completion.

The $72 million, LEED® Gold project was a new 250,000 square-foot Armed Forces Reserve Center, including 35,000 square-feet of vehicle storage and maintenance space, designed to support more than 1,300 soldiers in the Oregon National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve. The project included office suites, an assembly hall, conference and training rooms, a 400-seat auditorium, and electronic and static displays of military artifacts and campaign history to honor the soldiers of the 41st Infantry.

“This year’s award for our work at Camp Withycombe is an honor and a testament to our design-build excellence which extends to all of our regional operations and projects,” said Brian Ruffner, Business Development Manager for Rosendin Electric’s Oregon office in Hillsboro.

T5 Data Centers New State-of-the-Art T5@LA Facility in El Segundo Is Now Server-Ready

Leave a comment

New Purpose-Built Data Center Now Available for Lease for Business-Critical Enterprise Customers, First Lease Signed with L.A. Infrastructure Provider.

Los Angeles, CA, USA (November 29, 2012) — T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing state-of-the-art, customizable, and highly reliable computing support for any enterprise, today announced the completion and commissioning of its new T5@LA data center at 444 North Nash Street, El Segundo, California. The T5 team has successfully commissioned the first 3.7-megawatts (3.7 MWs) of what will ultimately be 16.65 MWs of critical power, so the new data center is ready for mission-critical operations for lease to enterprise customers.

In addition, T5 announced the signing of the first lease at T5@LA. The Los Angeles based critical infrastructure agency is the first enterprise customer and will occupy a custom-built data hall. They selected T5@LA because of the facility’s seismic rating, dedicated power supply, and redundant systems that ensure uninterrupted service. They also selected T5 Data Centers because of the company’s reputation for reliability and data security. Occupancy will be in 2013.

The new T5@LA data center is a purpose-built, 205,000-square-foot building on a 6.1 acre site. Designed as a high-quality, fully equipped wholesale data center, the facility is customizable to customer needs and features 120,000 square feet of raised floor. The building is built from structurally enhanced steel and has been designed to withstand earthquakes with a seismic importance factor of 1.5. T5@LA also has a dedicated, on-site power substation to ensure high reliability of electricity at a reduced “wholesale” cost.

“Los Angeles has been an underserved market for server-ready data center services” said Pete Marin, President of T5. “T5@LA is the first purpose built wholesale data center in the Los Angeles basin. We’re seeing great demand for our high quality and super-efficient design.”

The new T5@LA data center was designed for large enterprise customers seeking a customizable, “always-on” computing environment. The facility takes advantage of cool coastal air to help chill the data halls via an indirect evaporative process that uses approximately half the energy of traditional data center designs. T5 maintains round-the-clock engineering and support staff, as well as redundant systems to deliver the best service possible as well as peace of mind. The company already supports a number of Fortune 200 companies at its other data center facilities.

“We are very excited to welcome our first tenant to T5@LA,” said Aaron Wangenheim Executive Vice President of T5, responsible for marketing and leasing. “T5@LA was chosen by this discerning customer because of our ability to deliver the right solution and the right efficiencies. Their critical applications required the most resilient data center possible, and we’re excited to welcome them to T5@LA.”

Front Range Airport Receives Full Funding for Spaceport License

Leave a comment

Front Range Airport is ready to launch its bid for spaceport licensing with full funding commitments from strategic partners.

Denver (Watkins), CO, November 26, 2012 – Front Range Airport is ready to launch its bid for spaceport licensing with full funding commitments from strategic partners.

“The  Colorado  Department  of  Transportation’s  Division  of  Aeronautics  approved  a  grant  request  for $275,000, which is the last commitment needed to match a $200,000 grant received Sept. 25, 2012, from the  Federal  Aviation  Administration’s  Office  of  Commercial  Space  Transportation,” said Dennis Heap, executive director for Front Range Airport.

Aeronautics funding comes on the heels of commitments from Denver International Airport (DIA) for $50,000, the city of Aurora for $25,000, I-70 Regional Economic Advancement Partnership for $5,000, the Town of Bennett for $5,000 and Adams County for $300,000. “The commitments are more than just money,”  said Heap. “They are an expression of partnership for the concept of Spaceport Colorado.”

Studies  show  that  tomorrow’s  leaders in commercial space transportation will be facilities that are part of a world-wide network of suborbital flight transportation. Front  Range  Airport’s  unique  position  as  a  spaceport location is due to its rural location and excess capacity, while being convenient to DIA and easily accessible by the greater Denver metro area. Key to the success of Spaceport Colorado is DIA, the 10th busiest airport in the world, which will be the feed and distribution system for future cargo and passenger space flight.

“The city of Aurora has supported Front Range Airportt since its inception,”  said  Mayor  Steve  Hogan. “We  have  partnered with the airport to construct the existing water system and transferred approval to the airport for its waste water system. We maintain the primary roads to and from the airport and funded completion of 56th Avenue between DIA and Front Range Airport in collaboration with Adams County and TransPort developers.”

“Funding  assistance  from  the  local  economic  development  organization,  I-70 REAP, and the Town of Bennett is  very  meaningful,” said Heap.  “The organization has been a long-time supporter and views the airport as the economic engine for the I-70  Corridor.”

Adams County Commissioner Alice J. Nichol, chairman of the Front Range Airport Authority is pleased with the support for Spaceport Colorado. “Adams County has invested over $21 million in infrastructure and assistance for Front Range, making it the 3rd largest contributor after the FAA and the private  sector,”  said Nichol. “I believe Spaceport Colorado will become a major economic generator for Adams County and the state of Colorado.

Next steps are the issuance of an RFP for spaceport consultants and final selection before the end of the year. The spaceport consultants and Front Range Airport will then begin the six-month process of conducting technical, financial and feasibility studies; developing a detailed business plan; identifying the market and facilities analysis for Spaceport Colorado; as well as conducting an environmental assessment and risk analysis for the spaceport and flight corridors. This data will be used to prepare the spaceport license application. The goal is to receive a license for a horizontal launch and recovery for spaceport before the end of 2013.

“Front Range is the last general aviation (GA) airport constructed in Colorado and is one of the largest land mass GA airports in the United States with just under 4,000 acres of land, surrounded by a 6,000- acre, non-residential, master planned industrial complex,” said Heap.  “Tens of thousands of acres of dry land farming extend in all directions from the airport.”

Front Range Airport constructed the tallest general aviation air traffic control tower in the United States, and has 20 acres of shovel-ready sites with sufficient utilities to support a 10-15 year build out for aerospace facilities.
