A Solution to the Unemployment and Underemployment Problem in the US

Posted on May 29, 2012 by litekepr

There are many concerns for the people of the United States and throughout the world. But few people would argue that one of the biggest concerns is the unemployment crisis. High unemployment, a high number of people who have given up looking for work, who are working part time till they can find full time employment and the snowball effect of home foreclosures, high gas prices and more – are all concerns facing the majority of Americans in this election year. A solution to the unemployment and underemployment – is why we’re reaching out to you today…

An Introduction from Dr William T Hefferan, author of JOBS, How the United States Can Reach Long-Term Full Employment…

“Both the Republican and Democratic Party fully understand that the hot topic in the election will be jobs. My book, JOBS, details my 10 building blocks that show how the United States can reach long-term full employment, ending the huge job losses we experience with every economic downturn. The beauty of these 10 building blocks is that these solutions do not require any help from the government other than what is in the pipeline already.”

With the current situation – business people, politicians, the media and most people in the US – are all looking for a solution to this crisis. Dr Hefferan has tested and researched these 10 building blocks and explains the idea, how it works, the details of endless interview and research and the details of a community where he put this plan in motion and… it was a success.

Don’t you owe it to yourself and your community to take a look and see how this works?

Dr T William Hefferan – Author of JOBS

Posted on May 29, 2012 by litekepr

Dr. T. William Hefferan, DBA, MBA, CCIM, CPM

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Dr. Hefferan served in the US Army, including two years in Heidelberg, Germany. He enjoyed his tour of duty as a writer for Army in Europe Magazine and traveled throughout Europe to virtually every country in the region writing human interest stories as assignments for the magazine.

This wonderful writing experience formed the basis for his need to continue writing when he wrote and self-published Cooking as an Event. This book is based on his travels in Europe and his extensive background of developing high-end restaurants in Europe and the United States. This was followed with the book, The Old Colony Building, a real estate design and development book that describes developing and evaluating commercial investment real estate in critical detail, including comprehensive financial analyses.

Published in 2010, his peer reviewed research study, Employers and Job Seekers Pursue Mutual Excellence Through Postmodern Employment Communications Strategies, forms the basis for his latest book, JOBS: How the United States Can Reach Long-Term Full Employment. Dr. Hefferan has written over 250 research papers on various business and related topics.

As a lifelong learner, Dr. Hefferan doesn’t plan on stopping his quest to add to the list of his business and related degrees. Dr. Hefferan puts it this way, “Because of my love of learning, I am committed to a life-long learning adventure. The more I learn the more I discover how much I don’t know.”

Dr. Hefferan enjoys a few hobbies including: small boat building, making furniture, and other wood working ventures. He also enjoys cooking and is ready to publish his second cookbook. His passion is the Triathlon for which Puerto Rico, the location of his current project, is ideal.  He has three children, the youngest having just graduated from college joins the other two with busy professional careers in different parts of the globe, so he doesn’t see them as much as he would like.

His work passion, design and development of commercial investment real estate, began during his first year in college. This exciting journey began when he started purchasing small apartment buildings when he was 18. This was the genesis of his career as the President/CEO of a commercial investment real estate design and development company based in Michigan.The company’s focus includes acquisitions, design and development, syndication and packaging of all types of commercial real estate projects, from creating new projects, re-hab of existing (primarily historic), or any other concept that will create a substantial return for the investors.

These projects range from office buildings, student housing, shopping centers, manufactured housing communities, medical centers, hotels, to any type of project that fits a particular area and/or economic time. Dr. Hefferan enjoys the challenge that begins with conceptualizing the idea, designing the total project, forming the ownership entity, creating the debt and equity structures, building the project, and managing it throughout its life cycle. He especially enjoys the many creative opportunities, beginning with the development of an idea, through the concept and design process, creating the marketing and branding strategies, the architectural stage, and the various financial structures that are all intriguing and challenging. Dr. Hefferan decided to expand the company into the Caribbean, with Puerto Rico selected as the home base.

JOBS How the United States Can Reach Long-Term Full Employment

Posted on May 29, 2012 by litekepr

In JOBS, Dr. T. William Hefferan, DBA, MBA, CCIM, CPM provides a stunning approach to achieving long-term full employment in the United States and ending the repeating cycles of high unemployment. Dr. Hefferan reveals the essential shift in how we need to think about jobs and employment as the U.S. accelerates its timely transformation into a knowledge worker economy.

This profound shift will invigorate our heritage and foundation of innovation and entrepreneurship – including restoration of our global leadership in education and learning – leading to a dawn of new discoveries that create exciting new and unique careers.

With over 23 years of experience as President/CEO of a 100 employee company, Dr. Hefferan decided to put his corporate work experience together with his academic background and solve one of our most significant societal problems. His unique approach to end the persistent ups and downs of unemployment includes a peer reviewed research study he designed specifically to discover ways to solve the problem.

Capitalizing on the focus of his doctorate – organizational psychology and social science research — in 2009 and 2010 Dr. Hefferan interviewed job seekers, employees, employers, HR professionals and CEOs across the United States using unique questionnaires he designed to uncover unique solutions to the problem.

Each group has their own thoughts as to the needs and wants of the other; however, Dr. Hefferan’s concept was to look at those viewpoints side-by-side to determine if there were gaps in the communications strategies and perceptions of each group that may affect optimal employment relationships. The results are surprising as they reveal the differences and misperceptions of each of the groups — employers and employees — Dr. Hefferan interviewed.

These differences lead to less than optimal hiring and often to poor employment relationships. Obviously the performance of the company is significantly affected and the employees are not only disengaged at work, but many dislike even showing up for another day at a job they don’t like.

These startling results and conclusions from his research study lead him to develop a series of easy to understand solutions called the 10 building blocks of EMBER. The EMBER employment relationship is one in which both the employer and the employee concentrate on making the work relationship a mutually beneficial and rewarding one that meets each other’s needs and wants for both the short and long-term. The path to reach EMBER is described in these 10 building blocks,

 

  • Passion for Work
  • Finding an EMBER Job
  • Connecting with EMBER Employees
  • Creating an EMBER Environment
  • Ethics and Authenticity
  • Personal Branding
  • Online Social Networking
  • Leadership
  • Education and Retraining
  • Innovation and Entrepreneurship

 

JOBS draws the reader deep into visualizing the solutions through heartfelt real-life personal stories and experiences of the research participants regarding all aspects of employment. Readers clearly see how everyone can benefit from this journey to create a steady stream of beneficial and rewarding jobs. Job seekers and employees learn how to secure their perfect job, employers learn how to attract and retain top-tier employees, and entrepreneurs learn the value of putting their ideas and initiatives to work.

Readers learn the value of ethics and authenticity in the workplace as well as why everyone in an organization can be a leader, adding value to the company and the employee’s career growth. Education and retraining, innovation and entrepreneurship are shown in their increasingly critical role in putting every American to work in their dream job.

Just like the financial melt-down that caused the Great Recession, we will continue to face new and complex challenges, such as globalization and economic challenges that could again cause massive unemployment with little warning. Together with the findings of his study, germinal research, and the input from contemporary experts and authors in the area of employment, this groundbreaking book provides a blueprint for America to reach long-term full employment. Dr. Hefferan demystifies our journey to ending persistent ups and downs of unemployment with his original entertaining presentation style.

Readers are energized as they see how they can participate in this contemporary revolution to a new America that will always have meaningful and rewarding employment.

Writing Tips from Jeffrey Deaver

Posted on July 23, 2009 by litekepr

Several years ago I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Jeffrey Deaver at a writer’s conference and it was fantastic 🙂 I’ve been a fan of his work for years and I’ve been rereading all his novels in the last couple of years.

For anyone who hasn’t read his books (shame on you :). Seriously, if you enjoy edge of your seat thrillers that keep you guessing till the end and once you think its over – there are at least 1 or 2 more twists, these are books you have to try. I bought my first Deaver book in a used book store and I was hooked. So far there was only one that I couldn’t get into. Not bad out of over 25 books.

When I sat down to talk with him, I simply had to ask if he was willing to share any tips. He did share some great information and one of those tips was used in Lilah and the Locket. From comments and reviews I’ve gotten, it seems that it worked. Of course I’ll continue to use those ideas and to improve.

One of the things I get a lot of flack about is that I plan, research and do some outlining for my books. I was very please when one of my all time favorite authors said that he does extensive outlining. Extensive is the only way to explain it – he can spend 8 months outlining, researching and planning a book. But, like he said – that makes it easier to actually write the book.

I plan my books and do some outlining – then as the story develops, I may discover something that makes it necessary to update my plans and outlines. But, I’ve written both ways. My first book took me well over a year to write and I threw out the first 50,000 words. That proved to me that no plan was not the way to get the book done. Over the next 11 books, I’ve honed my writing skills and while I was a fulltime freelancer, I could easily write a 300 page book in 2-3 books. That was 2-3 months from the conception of the idea, to sending it off to my publisher or my client. There are all kinds of book ideas in my mind and if it took a year to write each one – I’d never get to share enough of these books with others.

I just saw a video by Jeffrey Deaver where he gives a great illustration of why he thinks authors should plan and outline. Seemed like it would be interesting to share. And, I even noticed in the video that he wears a ring just like one I have 🙂
