Petaluma, CA – November 28, 2011 – Prolific business leader and five-time successful entrepreneur Peter Howley has advised and acted as interim CEO for more than thirty companies in the past twenty years.   His particular talent for piloting businesses and navigating markets may well stem from his earlier years with the U.S. Air Force.

Founder of the California-based Howley Management Group, Howley has an impressive track record leading both start-up and later stage companies in a variety of industries ranging from technology to healthcare, and including yacht imports. The Philadelphia native earned his MBA at NYU and built an extensive business resume on the East Coast before heading out west.

Howley loves a good disruptive business.  Where disruptive refers to those innovative start-up companies that emerge from nowhere to suddenly change the rules for everybody else, he has years of insider experience breaking out of boxes and setting new boundaries.

Fueled by a passion for keeping up with the latest trends in technology, he believes that core business principles never change.  “No matter how technology evolves, proven processes and concepts endure,” he says. “Superior technology and brilliant innovation, by themselves, rarely succeed.  Experience counts.  Entrepreneurs can either hire someone like me, or try and do things the hard way.”

As an advisor, active board member and management consultant, Howley draws on battle-proven experience to help companies take good ideas and turn them into great businesses.  Then he pulls up the throttle—accelerating growth to dominate the marketplace.

In the 90s, Howley worked closely with the founders of Exodus Communications (Nasdaq: EXDS), a global web hosting company, which holds the NASDAQ record for 13 consecutive quarters of greater than 40 percent revenue growth.  One of every three to four Internet crossing packets traversed the Exodus network at its peak.

According to Howley, business is both a Science and an Art.  The “Science” essentially involves decision-making based on cold facts, market analysis and customer surveys.  It is critical for companies to continually do a reality check on their own business and industry when making strategic and tactical plans and decisions.  “Executives and managers have to be careful,” he says, “not to fall into the old trap of believing their own hype. They need to verify and re-verify in the marketplace their beliefs and assumptions”

In a male-dominated industry, Dr. Lisa Lang hasn’t just made a name for herself—she’s become the name.

Green Valley, AZ – November 28, 2011 – As a student and former Global Marketing Director of Dr. Eliyahu Goldratt, internationally renowned father of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and author of The Goal, Dr. Lisa has become one of the leading TOC experts out of only about 300 worldwide in the field.

She currently serves on the board of directors for the Theory of Constraints International Certification Organization or TOCICO and has developed a one-of-a-kind system for improving highly custom manufacturing that she’s now sharing in Velocity Manufacturing which appears in the book Trendsetters in the Current Economy.

Her method, which she’s developed, tested and proven, is called The Velocity Scheduling System or VSS.  Her goal is to help custom manufacturers get more jobs done with the people and resources they already have.

She explains that custom manufacturers and job shops — who don’t make the same things over and over again can struggle with a mix changes, customer changes, and a constantly moving constraint — have difficulty shortening lead-times and meeting due dates because of the nature of their work.

Her work is having a huge impact on American manufacturing.  As these highly custom job shops can produce more with the same people and resources, they become more domestically and globally competitive.

“It reduces their costs and makes them more competitive internationally so we can bring work back from overseas to the US,” she says.

It’s also why she’s launched her Velocity Scheduling System Coaching Program in an online version to extend the reach and make it extremely affordable for every shop.  Since it launched at the end of 2008 she has helped more than 100 custom job shops.

Dr Lisa warns that VSS is not a training program – it’s a go and do coaching program.  Every shop gets guidance to customize the solution for their specific needs during the 14-week program.

“When the manufacturers I’m working with have a big breakthrough,” she says.  “It affects their financial lives but also their personal lives.  It affects them, it affects their employees—it’s a big reward.  And, I’m addicted to the huge results my clients receive!”

Kirkland, WA – November 28, 2011 – Rommel Acda and Belton Lubas have dedicated their lives to bringing health and fitness directly to people in need with groundbreaking programs that address both weight loss and medical needs.

Acda and Belton’s gym, Element 5 Fitness Training Center, which is nestled in Kirkland, Washington has become a hub for hundreds of clients in need. “We have helped every kind of client from professional athletes to recovering patients to dancers, pre and post-partum women and even grandparents come to us for help,” says Rommel Acda, one of the gym’s co-owners.

Element 5 Fitness training center also hosts a variety of certifications from teaching coaches how to effectively work with kettlebells to Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT). They are also the only training facility in the United States that is licensed as an Underground Strength Coach facility under world-renowned strength coach and creator, Zach Even-Esh. Some of the other top rate certifications they offer include Z-Health Performance, which is a movement restoration system and cutting-edge exercise program that helps clients improve their health, alleviate their pain, and maximize their athletic performance. Acda is also a contributing author of the best-selling book, 3 Steps to Your Best Body, which has reached thousands of people seeking guidance on health and fitness.

Lubas and Acda’s road was not an easy one. Starting out as friends in Guam, both men while growing up watched family members struggle with debilitating illnesses and ailments such as diabetes, strokes and high blood pressure. This sparked their desire to help people take charge of their health and their life. “I grew up seeing needles every morning because my Grandparents had Diabetes. My Grandma told me that when I grew up I needed to find a way to fix her,” said Lubas.

Lubas and Acda have more than reached their goals of changing people’s lives for the better. The trainers have developed innovative programs to get people in shape in a short amount of time. “We do more than help people just get fit, we change their entire lifestyle with corrective exercise that improves their overall function and health. We learned that when you feel good about your health, you feel good about yourself,” says Acda.

School districts, parent groups, churches and merchants are participating in this campaign. There are currently Child Safety Nights occurring throughout the country.

“I’ve learned that people are life’s true bottom line. I believe in being a Go-Giver rather than just a Go-Getter,” he says.
