Featured00:33Close Up Radio Spotlights Educator and Author William N. Cooke
in Books
Williamston, MI - Unabated and unforgiving global competition continues to take its toll on companies and their employees—forcing organizations to rethink their workplace strategies to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. Professor and author William Cooke wants to help companies and their unions build partnerships that optimize long term success for both their organizations and employees. With over 40 years of experience as an educator, consulting with more than 35 different organizations, Professor Cooke recently co-published Negotiating High Performance-Focused Partnerships: The Five Stages of Effective Labor Management Negotiations.
There’s been quite a bit of noise over the last year or so with big negotiations in Hollywood and the auto industry, UPS, and others. And there’s more organizing activity going on now than we’ve seen in years. The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service requires all organized companies and their unions to notify them of upcoming negotiations.
“Negotiating High Performance-Focused Partnerships, written with John Butler and Thomas Posey, outlines how companies and unions can survive this economy with increasing non-union competition. In a nutshell, it’s about how to negotiate and build partnerships that yield mutual gains, in the form of high performance while sharing those gains with employees when it comes to wages, benefits, and the like,” explains Professor Cooke.
Negotiating High Performance-Focused Partnerships is available on Amazon.

"The Deceived Ones" Author Judith Krummeck on the Brown Posey Press Show
in Books
The Deceived Ones is a tale of displacement, a stranger in a strange land, music, and a tale most familiar to fans of a certain bard. In her debut novel, Judith Krummeck brings real places, war, music, and identity to life.
Vira is a talented, but introverted Ukrainian woman who is forced to flee her homeland as Russia invades. She lands in Baltimore with help from the Uniting for Ukraine program, carrying the clothes on her back and her viola da gamba. An assault and the loss of her passport drive Vira to assume the identity of her twin brother Sevastyan, who fights to avoid conscription and follow Vira to the US.
Meanwhile, Orson is commissioned to write an opera for the Twelfth Night Festival, but cannot compose; his muse, the equally brilliant soprano Isabella refuses to sing again, for him or anyone else. Vira's musical talents come Orson's way, as she tries to remake herself and navigate a path to a new life.
Based on Twelfth Night, Judith Krummeck discusses The Deceived Ones on the Brown Posey Press Show. A native of South Africa, Krummeck is an essayist, author, and playwright. She earned her MFA in Creative Writing and Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore. She is the author of "Beyond the Baobab," an autobiographical series of essays, and "Old New Worlds," a work of historical non-fiction. Her writings have appeared in The Rumpus, Baltimore Fishbowl, and Past Ten. Judith is also the evening drive presenter on classical music radio station WBJC in Baltimore, where she lives with her husband. You can find more about Judith on her website.

A Conversation with Avellina Balestri -- Write Stuff -- 9/3/2024
in Books
WRITE STUFF IS BACK!
After a hiatus this year, we are back to bring you some new great reads and authors! Tonight we kick off the conversation as we chat with author Avellina Balestri about any and everything. From writing, to faith, to weird TV shows as she talks about her books and we showcase her newest release called: All Ye That Pass: Gone for a Soldier, her American Revolution novel.
If you don a scarlet coat at the price of your conscience, the color will only remind you of the wound in your own soul! If you sign away the faith of your fathers, all lesser goods will be forfeited too!” Young Edmund Southworth could not have foreseen the path his life would take upon befriending Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne, British military veteran and parliamentarian. As Catholic recusants from the north of England, Edmund’s once noble family has struggled to survive for centuries in the shadow of the Anglican ascendancy. But General Burgoyne offers him the chance to put past humiliations behind him by joining the Church of England and donning a scarlet coat as an officer of King George III. Although his conscience is uneasy, Edmund embarks upon Burgoyne’s March to subdue the American revolutionaries by splitting the colonies in two. He finds unexpected love in the arms of Abby Vanderkamp, a supporter of American independence, who will do anything to free her father from a British prison hulk or, failing that, strike a blow for the hard-pressed rebel cause. As the British advance through the New York wilderness devolves into increasing brutality and instability, Edmund will have his already divided loyalties tested to the breaking point under the influence of this hostile land which presents him with new challenges and opportunities alike.

Riots in Britain - What Really Happened?
in Books
On my show for The Female Solution this coming Wednesday, we will be discussing violence, nonviolence and how we can move from violence to nonviolence.
My guests will include Didier Nshimirimana, a refugee who works with other refugees using Nonviolent Communication (NVC), and Israfeel Kusi-Addo, who will be hosting an event this weekend entitled "An Evening with a Muslim". As you may know, refugees and Muslims were particularly targeted in the recent riots across Englad. Black and brown people generally were targeted and mosques were attacked.
Israfeel says, "Following the recent racist/anti-Islamic riots, we felt it best as Muslims to open our doors to the community and show and teach people the true teachings of Islam. Feel free to come down for an evening of warmth, respect, neighbourly love and good food!".
