Search for the 2012 UK Business Speaker of the Year

(PRWEB) October 27, 2011

Wimborne-based branding, creative and digital agency, RT Media, sponsor of the first UK Business Speaker of the Year, has announced its support for the 2012 competition, now launched.

Last month (Sept) Phillip Khan-Pannis, a copywriter from Bromley, wowed an audience at Bournemouths Pavilion Theatre, winning the first ever UK Business Speaker of the Year competition with a motivational speech, What it means to be second.

The speech included stories about Mr Khan-Pannis rivalry with an older sibling and how he overcame disappointments in life.

As well as sponsoring the event, RT Media founder and creative director, Ross Thornley sat on the judging panel. He said: The whole competition was extremely well run, with the eight finalists selected from auditions posted onto YouTube. At the final, there was the added tension of the judges selecting just three contestants for the audiences deciding vote.

It was a great night - there are some really talented speakers out there and this competition is a real opportunity to be independently recognised. Were looking forward to building the reputation and scope of next years competition.

The event was devised by the UK Speechwriters Guild, which hosts its annual conference at the Bournemouth University Executive Business Centre. Professor Max Atkinson, one of the countrys leading public speaking experts, author of Lend Me Your Ears and a much-acclaimed blogger, sat as Chairman of the Judges.

Khan-Panni, CEO of PKP Communicators, a training company that helps business leaders to speak in public without fear and in a way that makes others want to listen, said: The UK Business Speaker of the Year is a splendid and worthwhile initiative that attracted some quality speakers. Much credit to Brian Jenner, whose idea it was, and to RT Media, the brand agency that recognised its potential. I was delighted to take part and honoured to have been voted the inaugural winner.

Aspiring or professional speakers over the age of 18, with an unusual story to tell can register their interest to take part in next years competition at http://www.ukbusinessspeakers.co.uk.

Overhaul of Core Business Operations at OppenheimerFunds, Inc. Strengthens Investment Organization and Elevates Risk Management

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 21, 2009

OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI) is enhancing its portfolio management teams by creating two new positions in the investments department. Chris Leavy has been named CIO of equities, and Art Steinmetz has been named CIO of fixed income. Additionally, Joseph Welsh will head a new unit: the High Yield Corporate Debt team.

OFI Chief Executive Officer William Glavin announced the company's priority of strengthening its investment organization and elevating its risk management function. As part of an overall strengthening of business operations, there are also changes planned in its sales and marketing operations that allow for a more streamlined approach to client communications.

"OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is committed to delivering investment excellence over the long-term," said Mr. Glavin. "Each of the changes announced today is part of OFI's business plan to focus on OFI's core mutual fund and closely related businesses and will allow OppenheimerFunds to better meet the needs of our clients in today's market and beyond."

Strengthening OFI's Investment Organization

Mr. Glavin's new business plan calls for deeper leadership of the investment organization, some of which was previously announced. Two new positions will be created in the investments department: Chief Investment Officer, Equities and Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income, both of whom will report to Mr. Glavin. As part of the restructuring, OppenheimerFunds' current Chief Investment Officer, Kurt Wolfgruber, has decided to leave the firm on April 30, 2009.

The new CIO of equities will be Chris Leavy. Mr. Leavy had previously announced his intention to leave the firm on March 31, but, after helping shape the business plan for the company, he recognized the need for continuity in a challenging business environment and the opportunity to help lead the firm into the future. The current director of fixed income investments, Art Steinmetz, will assume the new role of CIO of fixed income.

Commenting on Mr. Wolfgruber's departure from OppenheimerFunds, Mr. Glavin said, "Kurt built a successful investment department that allowed for the tremendous growth the company experienced between 2002 and 2007. As OppenheimerFunds begins a new phase with our investment group, he decided to give other leaders the opportunity to play a major role in shaping the future of the company."

To conclude a series of leadership changes for the fixed income department, Joseph Welsh is now head of a newly formed high yield corporate debt team. His responsibilities include: portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund (OPCHX), the high-yield portion of Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund (OPSIX) and all related high-yield strategies. He will continue as co-portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund (XOSAX), a fund that invests in syndicated loans to below-investment grade companies.

"The creation of a high yield corporate debt team is a step we are taking to strengthen the company's taxable fixed income investment capabilities in light of what we have learned from recent market volatility," said Art Steinmetz, CIO, Fixed Income. "Consolidating the management of below-investment-grade assets on a single proven team is the right strategy moving forward, and Joe's extensive experience will serve us well."

Mr. Welsh joined OppenheimerFunds in January 1995 as a high yield bond analyst and became vice-president and co-portfolio manager of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund in September 1999. Mr. Welsh has specialized in non-investment-grade debt investing since 1991. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst.

As previously announced, Krishna Memani assumed today Portfolio Manager responsibilities for Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund (OPIGX), Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund (OPGVX), and Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust (OUSGX). He was hired last month by OFI as head of the Investment Grade Fixed Income team.

OppenheimerFunds' taxable fixed income area is now comprised of three investment teams: Investment Grade Fixed Income, High Yield Corporate Debt, and International Fixed Income.

Elevating Risk Management

By giving Mr. Glavin direct access and support from the risk management, compliance and internal audit functions, the company is raising the profile of risk management and control across the organization. This response to a changed market environment allows Geoff Craddock, head of risk management and Mark Vandehey, head of compliance, to immediately join Kristina Olson, head of internal audit, in reporting directly to Mr. Glavin.

"As a result of the unprecedented market volatility and dislocation in 2008, companies across the financial services industry are taking a close look at how to enhance their risk management and control functions," said Mr. Glavin. "The new reporting structure for these groups will enable me to have direct oversight of these important functions."

Enhancing Communications Efficiency

Enhancing communications with clients is central to OppenheimerFunds' business plan. It will ensure investors', advisors' and consultants' performance expectations are aligned with the company's for a particular product.

"A key priority for OppenheimerFunds is to improve the flow of information across the organization and out to our clients," said Mr. Glavin. "We have begun exploring ways to create a stronger, more efficient communications infrastructure that will better serve investors, advisors and other constituents."

Details on the nature and leadership of these communications initiatives will be announced in the coming months.

Franchise Businesses Take Advantage of Local Search and Social Media to Drive New Business

San Luis Obispo, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 24, 2011

At this year's 51st IFA Annual Convention Franchises learned from industry leaders, fellow franchise executives and the likes of Ford Saeks that online marketing is about local search, mobile and social media.

The buzz this year was all about how franchises can leverage social media, local search and mobile apps. However, it was very promising to see that no one lost sight of the primary goal behind these tools: bring in local leads for franchisees. Saeks said it best when he said your website is your social proof.

Franchises clearly see that a comprehensive approach, from website to social, is needed to take advantage of online marketing. Below are ELEMENTS, Incs top 8 takeaways from the 51st annual IFA convention.

1. While at the previous years IFA Convention franchises were most interested in how to drive traffic, in 2011 those same franchises are now more interested in how to convert that traffic into leads or sales thereby create a positive impact with their already existing traffic. This is a direct reflection of how franchises are tightening their belts in these tough economic times by making the most of what they have already have. Rather than spending time and money generating new traffic that will effectively be thrown at a wall to see what sticks, spending time on conversion optimization through variant testing and data driven improvements can lead to a significant increase in overall leads both in the present & future.

2. Franchises are generally interested in a three step process for online success which begins with find-ability (how easy it is to find their brand online), usability (how easy it is for consumers to engage your brand) and profitability (how easy it is to convert leads into customers). If any of the links in this chain are broken the franchise risks never being found by potential customers, never converting those potential customers into paying customers and not being able to retain customers nor create brand loyal fans.

3. Another thing ELEMENTS noticed is that by and large franchises are becoming savvier in the realm of online marketing. Instead of franchise decision makers questioning whether they should have online marketing campaigns consisting of social media, pay per click advertising and search engine optimization, they are now asking how they can best utilize those campaigns for maximum profitability.

4. When it comes to social media, franchise companies are beginning to consider ROE (return on engagement) more appropriate than a typical ROI. This is a new way to look at social media where the end result isnt merely net sales or leads but can be measured instead by other factors including reach after reposts, number of subscribers and positive or negative sentiment. Social media campaigns judged merely on their conversion numbers look bleak, but by engaging customers in an open environment franchise companies can improve customer service which leads to improved customer sentiment and the creation of brand loyal fans.

5. Another big point of interest with franchises noted at the 2011 IFA Annual Convention was how effective your store locator is. Franchises have realized that not only can their locators help a potential customer find a local franchisee place of business but can be much more than that today. Locators can be integrated into a franchise website, have maps and directions, and also work seamlessly across both websites and mobile devices. We also saw conversations around exterior locators like a mobile or a Facebook app and Google Places.

6. While at the previous years IFA Convention franchises were mostly overwhelmed with local search and search engine optimization, in 2011 franchises there was a better understanding that its not a store locator or searches done solely on Google Maps. There was a general understanding of local search and the importance of it in Googles new merged Everything results that often place local results above national search results.

7. Mobile apps and mobile optimized websites were another big topic of discussion at the recent convention. Most franchise companies want a way to direct mobile users to their local franchisees which is exactly what the ElementsLocal mobile locator app does. Other franchises want their websites to be optimized to fit on a mobile device should one be detected. As mobile traffic continues to increase franchise companies want to make sure they are positioned to take advantage of this fluid demographic.

8. Perhaps the most important thing ELEMENTS took away from the 51st IFA Annual Conference was the testimony of corporations and noted speakers alike who claimed that success in all areas including social media stems from a good & valuable web property your website is your social proof, as Ford Saeks said. Without having a useful, easy to navigate, attractive website at both the local and corporate level none of your mobile apps, pay per click marketing or social media campaigns are going to be as effective as they could be.

NAPW Indianapolis Local Chapter Met for Gala Event with Indys Most Powerful Women in Business

Garden City, NY (PRWEB) November 19, 2011

The Indianapolis NAPW Chapter met for a gala networking event at the Stepping Out in Style, Dress for Success Indy event at the J.W. Marriott. The event was kicked off with a cocktail hour followed by speakers and a celebrity fashion show. NAPW members sponsored three NAPW tables and several of members companies sponsored a table as well. Thanks were extended to Sally Esbaum for coordinating the event and to all for attending!

Attendees Included Sally J. Esbaum, Jamie Van Deusen, Dee Wills, Suzanne Canull & guest, Cheryl Herzog, Jennifer McNett and Danuta Panich at Table 1; Janis Hartman, Christina Sedberry, Michele Crohn and Guest, Tammie Fish, Nita Conaway, Mary Ann Hack, Bridget McDaniel and Guest, Mercedes Soria and Guest and Table 2; Vickie Proksch and Creative Labs staff and guests at Table 3.

The Indianapolis Chapter of Dress for Success hosted their annual Stepping Out In Style fashion show in September at the JW Marriott in Downtown Indianapolis. Now in its ninth year, the popular fundraising event is attracting upwards of 900 patrons, mostly women, and boasts a guest list including some of the city's most powerful women in business. In addition, among this year's attendees was Joi Gordon, CEO of Dress for Success Worldwide, who ironically was missing a fundraiser at her New York home in order to be in Indianapolis.

Presented by PNC Bank, this year's Stepping Out In Style event included the incredibly popular "Diamond Dig" presented by Aronstam Fine Jewelers and a "Match Challenge" led by the charismatic Denny Sponsel of RJE Business Interiors that generated more than $ 50,000 for the cause. The cause itself, to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women, is reason enough to bring these women of influence back year after year and they appear to be bringing their friends and colleagues with them. It could be the fashions presented on stage by Murph Damron from several local boutiques like 8fifteen, Lesley Jane Inc. or The Secret Ingredient. More than likely, however, it's probably the models that came to support including Jennifer Browning Holmes, Sonia Chen, Jody DeFord, Anita DuBois, Jodi Hatcher, Melina Kennedy, Mary Leffler, Anna Kimble-Roberson, Bev Miller, Naie Maurer, Jennifer Satterfield Siegel, Sara Snow, B. Kaye Walter and Kitty Wooley-Tharte. Another motivator in developing such a loyal fundraiser following has to be the Indianapolis Fire Department model escorts.

The chapter extended invitations to members to next months networking meeting at Pipers Caf
