Those present at her first board meeting left knowing that lise loves NAWBO. and that she is capably prepared to take the Inland chapter to another level. An attorney and litigator specializing in business law. lise first joined NAWBO in 199H. She chose NAWBO membership after finding it to be the only womenbased business group that spoke to her as a business owner. lise says that NAWBO actually deals with the business issues it encounters. She joined thc Orange County Chapter. where she practiced law. and 'erved four ) ears as a board member. She was corporate panner chair and secretary. holding each position for two years. When lise opened an office in Ontario. she immediately searched for a local NAWBO chapter. She joined the Inland Chapter in 2003. became membership chair in 200405. and. as she says, "Here I am." lise still maintains her OC membership. attends their meetings. and has many OC friends. But. says lise, "the Inland Chapter is now my first love." lise's vision for the IE chapter is that it become the "go-to" chapter. She sees it PRIME STEAK HOUSE NServing an extraordinary dining experience. n Porter's is proud to feature USDA Prime Midwestern Beef, the highest quality and most flavoriul steaks available, along with exceptional Fresh Seafood and Chops.

She abo em is1on\ that NAWBO-IE will grow to 400 member' who the chapter will \UC· cessfully \erve. When asked what motivates her. lise responded. "competition." She says that her dad always told her that she had to be the "best."' An Austrian immigrant, lise came to the United States when \he was three )Cars old. She said she shares her father·\ view that the United States is trul} a land of opportunit). lise's life philosoph) is ··to thine own \elf be true ... She has aptly applied that philosophy to her own life. achieving success both personally and profes\ionally. lise was educated in California. She earned her B.A. at Cal State University. Fullerton. She graduated from UCLA in 1977, with a law degree and was admitted to the bar that same year. She began her legal career working at a mid-Wilshire area Los Angeles law firm. where she learned to be a litigator. She later became a partner, and eventually broke off with three other partners (all men) to form a 12-member firm in Orange County. She left the Orange County firm, and finally formed DiPinto & Associates in 2003. She has one other attorney in the finn. lise says she sees herself semi-retired in the next 10 years, if all goes well. She expects that she will still be enjoying her NAWBO membership for the coming five years adding. ''I'll probably still be working on the board, if they'll have me." Though very focused and serious about business. lise knows how to have fun. She describes one of her favorite leisure activities as juM "hanging" with John. her husband of 18 years. They have a 16-year-old daughter, Christina. who lbe describes as "practically perfect in every way." lise abo enjoys tennis and reading. She looks forward to visiting her birth country Austria again. as well as Italy. As president of NAWBO-IE, lise hopes her "'legacy" will be to create a finely-tuned administrati'>e structure, which will make operating easier for all board \OIunteers. She says she would like to see a system in place for all committees. upon which future committee chairs and members can build. She seeb to achieve at least a 100 percent membership increase during her tenun:. When asked what women business owners can expect from NAWBO, lise responded, with excitement. "NAWBO brings women business owners together as no organization does. We can expect that NAWBO will provide information to help us run our companies. and introductions to member~ V~.ith whom we can do business:· She added that she finds NAWBO a friendly place to unwind and discuss the sometimes-crazy life of business owners. lise encourages all members to participate at committee and board levels. The more people become involved, the greater and more diverse the input into the chapter. She says that by doing so will make NAWBO-IE more responsive to the needs and interests of its members. lise concluded, proclaiming. "Without members. we are nothing." CVB Financial Corp.

BUSINESS JO!JRNA! • PAGE 6 Septrmbn ?()()'i September 2005 CLOSE-UP CORPORATE PROFILE Ontario's New Director of Show Business A Family and Their Fa01ily Restaurant There has been no doubt that the Ontario Convention Center has brought excitement and money into the city. Even President Bush has graced its halls. But shadows of doubt have haunted those hallways. The city learned quickly that they were not the best people to run the facility and more than one manager left ''to pursue other interests."' Enter Bob Bro" n. As of August he is the ne" executive director and general manager. Almost immediately things have started to happen. The culinary crew from SMG came in to join the management team from the same company. This brings unity to the operation. not to mention a new head chef. up from Long Beach. Plans are all ready afoot for a bigger and better convention center. Imagine it, if you can, twice the size. Would that cut into the parking lot? Yes. but then there is ah1.ays the possibility of a parking structure. And why not? Standing still is not in the agenda of Mr. Brown. who tells the Business Journal. "You can never have enough meeting space. ''Ontario has a tremendous opportunity to become a second-tier market rather than a tertiary destination," says Brown. "All the components are in place to develop the convention center into a key player: proximity to the airport, affordability and accessibility." Still there are critics who stand ready to pounce. Most hotels in the area of the center and the airport had hopes from day one of big weekend events that would put heads on pillows and fill dining rooms. That has not come to fruition, and according to Brown may yet happen, but not to the extent that the innkeepers hope. Consumer events can bring in very good economic impact, even if it cannot be immediately seen, according to Brown. The attendees may not all take up hotel rooms. but they do buy gas and food and product from the show participants. Every sho". event or convention has some market impact. Then too. Brown feels that the local hotels carry such a high occupancy and room rate during the business week. that it would be hard to measure up to that on the weekends. The OCC sales and marketing team continues to work with the local facilities to establish package rates for e\ents that can be planned and promoted a ways out from the date. Reaching into new markets will also bring change. as will long-term repeat business. Brown came to us from Houston where he was director of sales and assistant general manager over the Reliant operations, including the Reliant Astrodome. the Reliant Arena and the Reliant Stadium where Superbowl XXXVlll (38) was played. This leads to the tjUCstion; can sports become a part of thc OCC? Yes. It is possible, according to Brown. to bring gymnastics and other Olympic trials into the facility. Even basketball is possible. but with an eye to the future. Brown says that there would be very little conflict between his facility and the new Ontario arena. In fact, he feels that they could strengthen and complement each other in such areas. A decade ago, when ground was first broken for the convention center, the plan was to have a state-of-the-art facility with satellite teleconferencing and other new technological capabilities. Has the center kept up with advances in communications? Yes it has. New wi-fi facilities and other capabilities are already installed. An executive conference center is in the works. Naming is another issue. Brown has seen the demise of the Enron Stadium, now Minute Maid, and feels that many corpo- rations are beginning to shy a\.\ay from such branding . Besides, keeping the name Ontario on the wall gives us international recognition. It gives us ''destination market attachment." Brown did not come into all of this blindly. When Dick Walsh, the last GM, decided to step aside. SMG brought Brown in from Houston to see if he would "fit." Brown talked to the local business communi!). and met with the mayor. city council and city manager to see if his "is ion would fit theirs. Obviously. it does. So. according to Brown, what is the Convention Center capable of? First. he believes that it is currently being well utiliLed for ib original design. For the future. the number of e\ents will be increased. although the calendar is quite full nO\\. The target is more regional and national trade .,hows. Bcmg nght in the middk of the Southern California circle gives Ontario an ad\antage that it has not fully developed. Granted, Palm Springs is a different animal entirely. People going out there are looking for the recreation, the golf and sports and other area amenities. Still. Ontario is the hub of everything. Much of that comes from the airport and the freeway system around the city. Los Angeles works on a completely different level. Anaheim caters to the trade shows, not the consumer shows. The completion is wide, but we have the advantage of flying into Ontario and being at the meeting in 10 minutes. Some events, like the Inland Empire Auto Show have outgrown both the National Orange Show and the Ontario Convention Center. Brown says, "That's not a bad thing. We can act as an incubator for such events. When shows like that move on he feels it strengthens their position that Bob Brown his facility can develop such shows. Plus it leaves the door open for new opportunities, certainly new revenue opportunities. Politically controversial events are another thing altogether. The gun sho\•s that have been banned in L.A. might be JUSt fine in past areas that Brown has worl..ed. such and Houston and Nevada. Bro\.\ n Is not prepared to make a commitment on such ideas just yet. So. are we getting enough use out of the center. or is it just sitting there. waiting for the next Women in Business Expo'1 Hardly. Last year they played host to some 442 events in a twelve-month period. And that did not include certain city events and some video-conferencing. Facilities within the convention center can accommodate groups as small as I 0 people and do it at rates that are competitive with local hotels. In fact, Brown says that they have the infrastructure and support staff to accommodates groups up to several thousands. If you were one of the three people who watched the TV show "LAX," you know that much of it was shot in the halls of the Ontario Convention Center. According to Brown you will see more of it, along with the airport and other local areas contionued on page 8 Jamie Alba came out of New York decade., ago, but you can still hear the diS!Incti ve accent. He went to work in show bustnes'>. but like many aspinng star.,, he had a day job at a restaurant. In fact. over the years he \\Orked just about every job that a restaurant has. He even \\Orl\ed at the Santa Monica Palm,, So it \\as no \\Onder that '"hen he decided to be his O\\n bos ... he opened a restaurant There are nO\\ fi\C S1slcy restaurants 111 Southern California Yes. he is well aware that a lot of restaurants open e>ery year, and at least as many close up. But he also understand., the 'y1ng and yang' of the trade. The left brain and the right brain There is the art of the dining room. the ambiance and the food. Then there is the kitchen and the back office. where the real business decisions h<ne to be made. It Is in the J...itchen that Alba feels much of the differ ence can be found Hi., chicken breasts arc just one example. He believes 111 using only fresh chicken. Many restaurant people have suggested that he swttch to froten or pressed rolled chtckcn breast. He won't do it. The same is true \l.ith his meat.,. He also is proud of the fact that he does not have a mi..:rowa\C unit at any, of his five restaurants. He believe ... and is proud to point out. that Sisley uses better qualit) dishes than many higher-priced restaurants. He and his wife use the best ingredients money can buy. Can that cost him an extra $100.000 per year? Yes. but it is what keeps the customers coming in. This often throws people off who come to work for him, and find out that they have to learn to prepare food all over again. The easy ways do not impress the clientele. And he is proud of the fact that he has established a regular cltentcle after only one month at his ne\.\ Rancho Cucamonga location He chose the location in Victoria Gardens carefully. The location is close to several other popular dining facili- ties. but he didn't need to be close to them. He chose h1s location because It's right in front of the movie theater. People will come and go seeing his sign and maybe even deciding to drop in for dinner before the show. As for the name, it's a play on words. His family roots go back to !tal y. so if you Insist on saying the name of the restaurant with three S) llables, that's JUSt fine By calling it S1sley. he figures you'll remember it (Hey. 11 \.\Orked for the Beatles.) Yes. the restaurant busi· ness i., tough but he and h1s w 1fe have been doing 11 for 30 y cars. Docs the art of the food and the business of the operation drive him buggy sometimes '1 "Sometimes," he responded to the Business Journal. "but It's what I do. I happen to be a workaholic. so that helps" When \.\e asked him to place Sisle) in a spectrum of ltaltan restaurants from little store fronts to exclusi\e shoreline facilities. he bristled at the thought that his restaurant might not be the best around. In point of fact he agrees with the theory that good sen ice can make a mediocre restaurant experience wonderful. and bad senice can spoil an otherwise beautiful evening. Accordingly. he moves the help around as part of the training program. One da) they'll folio\.\ a deli person. one day the) 'II follow a bartender. They may \.\Ork t\.\O tables one night instead of a station. ma) be they are behind the bar the next night. Then there are the tests. A salad test. a pasta test. a wine test. There is also a working list of how to approach a table. how to serve the food, even how the bread is set up. One of his greatest frustrations is that restaurants are very labor intensive. Wage~ are the largest expense he has, and yet wait staff traditionally see themselves as low on the level of operating importance.

All that changed when the Act became effective Jan. I. ::?.002. with several provisions affecting 457 plans -including contribution increases. changes to catch-up provisions. and new portability rules. These changes leveled the playing field between deferred compensation plans and other retirement plans. Contributions Before the Act, 457 plan participants were allowed to make salary deferrals up to $8.500 or one-third of includible compensation -whichever was less. Starting in 200::?.. participants were permitted salary deferrals up to $11.000. increa,ing $1.000 each year until 2006. when the maximum deferral would be $15,000. After that, the contribution limit would be adjusted for inflation. Further. 457 plan participants no longer need to coordinate their 457 plan with their 40 I (I-.) or 403(b) contributions. as their 457 plans are no longer reduced by 401(1-..) or 403(b) deferrals. Catch-Up Provisions The IRS catch-up pro,·ision allov~s 457 plan participants to mal..e higher contributions in anticIpation of retirement. Catch-up contributions to 457 plans arc permitted for indi\ iduals age 50 and older. with the catch-up amount increasing by $1.000 annual!; until 2006. \\hen the catch-up amount available w11l be $5,000 for ::?.006 and thereafter. All of the catch-up limits will increase for inflation beginning in 2007 and catch-up provJ-,ions will no longer be allowed after :?.007. Rollover s These tax laws also brought about new portability rules allowing eligible rollover distributions from governmental 457 plan-, to be rolled over to an) other defined contribution retirement plan such as 401(1..) or 403(b) plans. These allow participants to continue to grow tax-deferred savings until the) need it, pro\ iding more fle:~;ibility on when they may continued on page 19 BCSJNESS JOLR~AI • P\GF 10 EDITORIAL LE'I*I'ERS TO THE EDITOR So lots of people are surpnsed and upset that the County of Ri,erside is sitting on $100 million (g1'e or tal..c a fe,, tons of millions) and the) don't !..nov. hov. it got there -- or really "here it is suppo,ed to go What if that is not the largest pile of money accumulating at the county with no apparent. plans to spend it?

Bland California\ new home market is thriving. driving the economy. creating millions of jobs and billions of dollars in tax revenue. But it isn't all good news. There i'> a lurkmg villain that is threatening homeo"'ners. homebuyers, contractors and budders alike the construction defect lawsuit. Even as technology. the quality of new housing and workmanship continue to improve, Californ1a has seen an mcreasing number of construction defect lawsuits over the past decade. A growmg practice of bringing construction defect lawsuits against contractors and homebuilders under the guise of "consumer protection." even \\hen defect> may not exist. has emerged. These lawsuits CO'>t homeowners' time. money and the value of thc1r home'>. Indeed, the lawsuits have gotten so out of control that California has earned the dubious diMinction of being home to less than I 0 percent of new hou-,es but the majority of all construction defect lawsuits. The impact of construction defect lawsuits on homeowners is substantial. Settlement payments rarely cover the cost of needed repa1rs. much les-, the time and stress of litigation. In the end, they arc stuck with a long list of "'defects" which they are required b:y law to disclose to potential buyers and to their homeowner's insurance company. Lawyers rare!) tell homeowners that these lawsuits leave their homes "marked" meaning they ma) be unable to sell or their homes wdl be severely devalued, and are often subject to h1gher homeowners' im.urance costs. Not surprisingly. a handful of plaintiffs· lawyers have crafted aggressive marketing strateg1es and scare tactics to woo homeowners into joining their suits. They usc the allure of big settlement dollar' and the false threat that homeowners \\ill have no other recourse other than a lawsuit to have their problem solved In fact, the major11) of all construction defe<.:t lawsuih are tiled before the homeo"ner has contacted the builder about repairs . Lawsuits should be the last resort. not the fir'>t. But. homeowner' are not the only Vlcllms of these lawsuit~.. Construction defect litigation has driven contractor:," insurance premiums to unbelievable levels: a policy cosung over a million dollars for one million dollar' of cmerage is not uncommon The result'? Countless contractors many of them small, independent busmessmen arc being pushed out of business because they simply can't afford to pay these outrageous insurance premiums. Other vicums include the contractor's employees and their families whose wages and health insurance are cut to pay for growing insurance costs. Many more young fam11ies are unable to buy a home because the high cost of insurance. passed on to the consumer. has wiped out affordable housing and condominium con'>lructlon m California. So where does all the money go·1 At the end of a lawsuit. homeowner' are stuck "'ith the responsibility of fixmg a long list of alleged defects. but rare!) receive enough money to make the repair~. Instead, insurance rates are bemg dnven up by the co,tl) process of litigating these lawsuits. One lawsUit may involve 20 to 40 subcontractors. each v. ith the1r own defense co,ts. A lawsuit that cites an electrical problem will inevitably name the plumber. mason and framer in its ca'>e as well. And. when the case is finally resolved. the plaintiffs' lawyer and "expert" witnesses can walk awai with over half of the settlement. Just as people with real construction defects de,erve to have problems fixed in a timcl} manner. building professionals deserve the opportunity to repair any defects before a lawsuit lands in their lap. When problems are fixed before litigation. C\ eryone wins. It is vital that homebuyer... homeowners and real estate professiOnals understand the impacts of these construction defect lawsuits. alternatives to litigation and how to continued on page 19 Bl'SII\itSS IO!'RNAI • PAGt !"

You've got clients. projects, and good results. Times are good. Opportunities and ideru; are everywhere, so are strategic relationships. However, it seems like there are more and more opportunities and really good ideas that you just can't get to. You're starting to worry that you're missing something and you don't seem to have the time you need to do your best creative work. There are so many interruptions during the day and often at the end of the day you feel you didn't get anything done! The little breakdowns that will have to "wait until l have more time" are adding up, and you're finding yourself experiencing "overwhelm" (too many e-mails and too much to do?), "isolation" (not enough time to stay connected to everyone?), and/or "frustration" (everything seems to take so long!) and your organization is suffering not only because you are facing all of this but your staff is as well. You know that working harder is not the solution 1 You want to work smarter but don't know what to do. Then you are ready for extreme productivity through organizational coaching. Leader,h1p de\ elopment " cntical to the ...ucces' of organr/allons. Many people have reali1cd that the tradit1onal form of learmng alone does not provide lastmg change and progress. and i' often a supplement to other traditional forms of staff development. Organizational coaching work' so well because it traditionally take' place on the job where research suggests lhat 80 percent of leadership development occurs . A recent 'tudy of I 00 executives. mostly from Fortune 1000 companies, by MancheMer. Inc. found that: coaching delivered an average ROl of 5.7 times the initial mvestment; - 53 percent of the executt ves reported productiVity impro\'ements; greater than 70 percent of the working relationsh1ps with direct reports and immediate supervisors had improved. Half of the executives in the study held posillons of vice president or higher. Fifty-seven percent of the executives who received coaching were ages 40 to 49. The coaching programs were a mix of both change-oriented coaching (changing certain behaviors or skills) and growth-oriented coaching (focused on sharpening performance). Coaching has become a required competency for any profession worldwide to improve service or productivity. It is custom designed to meet the requirements of executives. managers, supervisors. mentors, human resources or sales professionals, team leaders, and the entrepreneur in becoming an extraordinary leader. If your staff is already being coached, a program can be integrated with it and be expanded to increase your staff's capacity to learn and perform. Most people and corporations seek coaching because they want different outcomes in their lives and businesses. Yet. many do not realize that their own actions create the outcomes they wish to change.

Coachi11g For u:adenhip 29 (2000) As successful busmess people know. the bottom line is to have satisfied customers. higher profiL~ and maintain a high-quality personal life. Likewise, corporations want to generate more satisfied customers, higher profits and achieve or maintain high quality service. A coach can custom design strategies, and help you create results for yourself both professionally and personally. It's important to recognize why people hire a coach. People either want to reach a goal. make a change or solve a problem. They feel a coach can assist them. They want to find a partner to support them with whatever they're working on and motivate them beyond what they can accomplish by themselves. Many clients place large challenges on themselves. and by hiring a coach, they have a better chance of solving the problems, reducing the risk. and succeeding more rapidly.

Unlike driving. you don't need a ltcen~e to network But then again, there arc no driving schooh to teach you the skilh required to navigate the busi· ness superhighway. To be an effect1ve bu~iness networker. you need to know where you are go1ng. who you want to meet, how to 1dentify your target market. and have a road map for creat1ng qrategic relationships. To turbocharge your networking. there are 12 rules of the road that will help make networking a JOY ride Follow these rules and you will build relationships. generate referrals and dtscover resources that will help you grow your business and make networking fun. Rule Ill Greet every person you meet just like an old friend on the street. Rul e 1/2 Always use a pero,on's name to stay on top of the network 1ng game. Rule 1/3 Don't get \0 hung up on you dial into the person you are talking to. Rule 1/4 Accentuate what IS unique about you. Let feedback serve as your bird's eye view. Rule 1/5 Pinpotnt your client's worst pain then solve it so they come back aga1n. Rule 1/6 Patnt a clear ptcture of what you do-so your ideal cl ients can identify you. Rule #7 Never leave home without your .. mtle-tt w11l always take you the ex tr a mile Rule 1/8 Good business ca rd s are indeed a must without them, your bustne .. s could go bust. Rule #9 Be bold and wear the right prop it's a sure way to get to the top. Rule 1/10 A genuine compliment goes a long way 11 opens the door and brighten~ the day . Rul e /Ill Become a trusted resource for client\ all - then you will always be walk1ng tall. Rul e 1/12 When you are on your way up to the top floor· make sure you open more than the elevator door. When you venture out the door, there IS alv. ays an opportunity to meet someone new You don· t need to be at a formal networking function to create ne\\ relationships . Networktng happens everywhere. The secret is be1ng av. are of your surroundings just as you are when you are driving. Have you ever notu.:ed that when you buy a new car, there seem~ to be a plethora of that very same car on the road wherever you look? There aren't any more of that t:rpe of car than there were before. but your aware· ne~s has been heightened. The same ts true when you start nottctng the people around you and the opportu· n111es to start a conversation. Networktng happens 1 As children. we are taught not to talk to strangers, but as adults we know that people we don't know are simply friends we have not met yet. Applying Rhonda's Rules, the next time you are standing in line a t the bank or the grocery store, be sure to pay attent ton to the people around you and start a conversation. Smtle. make eye con tact and ask an open-ended question or give the person standing next to you a genuine compliment. You will be amazed at how easily the conversation \\ill flow. No traffic jams. JUSt the experience of getting to know somebody new. If you need a "Jump start" to talking w1th try wearing a prop such as a shtrt with your com· pany name on it or an interesting p1n or tie that will cause others to talk with you. You m1ght even be shameless and put your Website on your ltcense plate frame. Remember to ask open-ended questions of your new contacts and look for areas of commonality. The speed bumps on the networkIng road will be les~ of an obstacle and pretty soon. you will hardly notice them To be an effective networker, preparation is key. Keep up on current events, have a memorable 30-second marketing message, let others know what you can do to solve their problems and always have a supply of business cards with you at all times. Knov.ing the rules of the networking h1ghway wtll keep your battery charged and your pipeline full of referrals. Creating relationships and referrals to grow your business ts the superhighway to success. There are no shortcuts to creattng lasting relationships. It takes commitment and drive to make it happen. Put yourself in the driver's seat and turbocharge your business today with the power of network1ng. · Kemt D.

For one reason. private companies that hope to have a liquidity event at some future time through an lPO or a buyout from a public company- must ultimately be Sarbanes-Oxley compliant. Another reason is that accountabilit} and corpomte governance are no ow the neow mantra of the land. Some executives taking early retirement to get out of the mt race and be free from the demeaning obligations of Sarbanes-Oxley have acknowledged that SOX regulations have less to do ~>.ith controls such as ERP (enterprise resource planning), ORM (operational risk management), or BPM (business performance management) and everything to do with CYA (cover your ass). But the fact is that all companies, public and private. can enormously benefit from better control\. The burden of new regulation is generally greater for small companies than large ones for the simple reason that standardized compliance costs are spread over fewer he ads a nd less reve nue But SOX has pro ve n to be a catalyst for small companies to ado pt better CRM (customer re lauonshrp ma nageme nt ) co ntro ls, to improve sales me thodologies and forecastmg.

The Gartner Group recently porn ted o ut th at "companies that rely on transactional CRM sales applications will begin to lose their competilive advantage in 2005 unless they extend their analytical capabilities into optimization and predictive modeling." Nex.t generation CRM solutions today must harness and leve rage the power of the CRM engine much like a transmission provides power to a car's drive train. It must give the sales professionals real traction by helping them avoid spinning their wheels with prospective sales that don ' t close and getting stuck with too much quarter end discounting. Equally important is the acceleration of top line growth by providing sales managers with tools that produce objective information that clearly highlights the most promising deals furthest along in the sales process . Now both of these objectives can be achieved by working with existing CRM solutions owithout much additional capita l investment. In many cases, the real value of CRM can now be realized September 2005 and e:~.tc ndcd on two levels.

It should be. Training b necessary for learning, and learning is the lifeblood of your organization. Thmk about it. Someone. ~omewhere 1n your compan) is always learnmg something. New employees must "learn the ropes." Current employees must upgrade their skills. Everyone must adapt to organizational changes. And as globalization and technological advances spawn even more changes. employees \\ill have to learn procedures and processes you can "t even foresee. All of that means if you're not training--and trammg well--you 'rc d) in g. Many leaders think of trammg as a department. as in "that is an HR thing." But the truth is, a healthy tmining <.ystem is as essential to your organization as the circulatory system is to your body or a well-designed railway system is to a country. Call it the "training track... It carries vital knowledge. smoothly and efficient!). to e"ef) department. All the knowledge in the world is useless if it can "t be shared with others in your company. In other words. you need to create and nurture a good network of trainers in every department of your organization. That doesn "t mean you have to hire 20 ASTD certified trainers and station them strategically throughout your company. Training is often a collateral duty to an employee's "real"' job. But if you want your people to do things better. faster. and easier-with higher quality and a greater return on investment--you need to teach your employees the basics of effective training. My new book. "Training For Dummies," ha~ something to teach everyone--from "accidental trainers" tapped to teach co-workers a new computer system to seasoned professionals who simply want to enhance their skills. Readers will discover how to custom design training courses. adapt for different learning styles, and enhance participation and learning. So \\by should you invest in a great training program? Consider the following four reasons: I. It attracts talent. If you want to attract first-rate workers. you must offer a first-rate traming program. Why'> Becaw.e long-term professional development is a huge benefit to ambit1ous, talented. motivated people Job dec1s1ons are based on much more than mone) these days. People thtnk way be)Ond that first paycheck. They want to "-now that you are a company that values their future enough to bac"- it up with leadership training, continuous coaching and so forth. 2. It keep'> you competitive. In our global economy, you need any edge you can get. And nothing beats a well-trained staff for attracting and maintaining customers. Buying decisions aren't always about price; they are often about service. The fa'oter, better. cheaper model promised by outsourcing usually fails to deliver one of the three elements. A dynamite training program is the key to being able to usc all three words in one sentence. 3. It saves you money. Well-trained employees are less likely to make costly mistakes. They tend to do things more quickly and efficiently. They're less stressed and happier, which means they're less likely to leave and stick you with a hefty recruiting/retraining bill. That's true at every level, but especially at the midmanagement and top levels of your company. Stability among a company's leaders is critical to your bottom line. 4. It fosters across-theboard buy-in. Teaching everyone. at every level. the basics of training brings your company together like nothing else. When people are empowered to train their peers, it does much more than just free up managers to do other things; it makes the employee who does the training feel more committed to the goal at hand. Teaching someone 1s a dynamic. give-and-take process that's hard to "fake." It creates a sense of solidarity that's good for your company. If you're already spending a ton of money on training. you may assume that you've got it "covered." Not necessarily. Some companies spend big buch on a comprehensive tratning program and see very little ROI Others may buy a good "off the shelf" product--or a book like "Training For Dumm1es"--and see outstanding results almost Immediately. You know your training program 1s a success when the training department is invtted to the decision-makmg table. when upper management taps into the trainer'>· skills and expertise to plan for the future. If that's not happening--or 1f you're getting disappointing results--tt may be time to rethink your approach. Build a strong "training tmck" that is connected to your company's current strategy. I guarantee that it will positively affect the bottom line. About the Author: Elaine Biech has been in the training and consulting field for more than a quarter of u centurv.

Supen1sor Biane has committed to aggressively pursuing reimbursement from tl1e federal government on behalf of local taxpayers The overall program will be developed to identify illegal immigrant inmates, and once a ruling is given on each case. these inmates would then be rurned over to the federal government for deportation. The sheriff's department will play a vital role in carrying out th1s program through the add111on of nme full-time civilian employees to be trained by the lmm1grat1on and Customs Enforcement Agency to conduct the investtgattons.

Included in the stellar lists arc ~ome of the golden boys of rock and roll , boxers and even a number of current and ex Laker players. Expect to see some of them on any given night enjoying dinner and perhaps signtng autographs. Most of them originally developed a taste for Sisley and a friendship with Alba at the Sherman Oaks· store. "Just friends," he shrugs. To Jamie Alba. what is the biggest mistake that other restaurateurs have made tha< contributed to their failure? "They undercapitalized when they opened up. Plus. most people can't take the day in, day out running of a restaurant. It 's a tremendous amount of work. And it does n't stop when you're open. It doesn't stop at two years." The key to maktng money in the restaurant business is simple. buying a producl. selling a product. making a profit on the product before you have to pay for the product " To that end he works to keep inventorie'> down and stays on top of food costs. labor costs and incidentals .

The opening of the Yictona Gardens and the Mills. not to mention a remarkable growth in a\ ailable housing---housing that will bring in an upscale population . As for being a restaurateur. it's good some days and it's not as good some days. "The tce machine doesn't break down on Monday. It breaks down on Saturday night." He points out as just one example.

Inland Empire JObs have begun to p1ck up in the last two months. Recent gams look to be most substantial in such sectors as manufacturing, retailing, education/health, and tourism (leisure/hospitality) . However, wholesaling, transportation/warehousing. finance, and professional serv1ces also registered recent gains , beginn1ng to rcver-,c March-June declines . The current data for the region show decent year-to-date growth in total jobs. but at a pace well below that of 2004. Keep in mind, though, that preliminary (current-year) Inland Empire job data are notorious for being understated , with >Ubsequent benchmark revbions typically marking up growth rates substantially.

There's little doubt that the best negotiators seldom wind up on the red ink side of the ledger Unfortunately, most people assume that either you don't need much training to negotiate successfully or that the subject 1s so complex you need a lifetime's experience to do it well. The first assumption is an unfortunate myth. As for the second one, although extensive experience 1s always valuable, understandmg and usi ng the bas1c negotiating concepts and skills are a very good first step. Harry Mills. author of 23 sales, persuasiOn and negotiation books, has reduced the "must know" negotiating sk1lls into a consistent pattern where one chap· ter builds on another without being boring or obscure. The undcrly111g spine of the book is built on seven consecut1ve mterlocking concepts that Mills calls the "Seven Steps to Agreement" or the "Seven Steps RESPECT formula" because the first letter of the ftrst word in each step together form the word respect. Here are the steps: "Read} yoursc.:lf. You set and priontlze your obJectnes and plan your strateg) and techniques. "Explore each other\ needs. You clanfy your and the other side's needs and communicate your openmg position. "Stgnal for movement. You signal that you are prepared to move and respond to signals from the other side. "Probe with proposals. To advance the negotiation you make tentative proposals and repackage rejected proposals. "Exchange concessions. Here you can trade concesstons by givmg the other party some of their demands 111 exchange for receiv· ing pan of what you want. "Close the deal. Create urgency by makmg a credible and acceptable close. "Tie up the loose ends. Having agreed you have a deal, you must confirm exactly what has been agreed. Unsurprismgly, nearly 20 percent of the entire book is focused on the first step: "Ready Yourself." Domg your homework on the orgamzation and the representatives against whom you w1ll be negotiatmg can be the smgle most important step you' ll take Here's an example from the segment titled, ··use Your BATNA to Create Leverage." First. Mills provides a definition of a memorable term or concept In th1s case it\ the term "BATNA." originated by Harvard professors Roger Fisher and William Ury as acronym for "Best Al!ernative to a Negotiated Agreement." As Mills puts It, "When you work out your best altemattve to a negotiation your walk away position." The author then goes on to elaborate in two or three brief. easily readable paragraphs, ultimately reaching a suggested concluston. In this case u·s. "A BATNA involve., three .,tages. Fil">t. list everything you could do tf you do not reach agreement Second. explore your best options and try to imprm·c on them. Finall}. choose the best option. Thi., is your BATNA." This type of tnformation is followed by four or five highlighted sentences under the heading of "Smart Tips and 1~1ctics."

You can even watch the mesquite grill through the glass window. Logan's " also one of the few restaurants that I have seen late!) that print> its understanding of rare. medium and well done. I reall) need to c.:ome back -.ometimc soon The list of burgers and express lunch sand I\ iche~ looks promis1ng, but I had come for di nner this time. Logan ·s Roadhouse originated back in Tennessee in the earl) ninetie~. There are now over I 00 locations, five in California. including the one here in the lnland Empire. Considering all of those other re~taurants. and many arc \Cry good. Logan's is worth the extra mile drive to cross under the high1va) on Baseline.
