Ultimate IT Guy, LLC has selected Cooksey Connects as its preferred, affiliate provider of training and education services to its rapidly expanding client base.

“With the confirmation from the Fair Trade Commission that municipalities are subject to the Red Flag Rules as outlined in the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act of 2003, it seemed natural for our firm to connect with an I.T. provider already involved in the compliance effort. The training deadline is rapidly approaching and many municipalities have found themselves behind the curve. That’s where we can help.” says Scott Cooksey, Owner of Cooksey Connects. “We are excited to have been chosen by Ultimate IT Guy as the provider for delivery of training and education services to their customers.”

FACT’s Red Flag Rules require municipalities to have in place policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the new guidelines no later than November 1, 2008. This requirement is to help address important issues related to fraud and identity theft for services provided by Oklahoma municipalities.

“Properly designed and implemented information technology systems can be very effective in the effort to curb fraud and identity theft,” says Cleatus Davis, President of Ultimate IT Guy, LLC. “Proper training of the people who represent our municipal customers, however, is also a powerful front-line deterrent. Our company’s focus is on servicing Oklahoma’s municipalities. We felt the addition of a training affiliate to assist in this effort made perfect sense.”

Cooksey Connects is a leading provider of corporate training, messaging, and custom educational solutions for its clients. Learn more about the company at www.CookseyConnects.com.

Hey there, readers! Great news!

As we scramble to have the special edition of Powerful People Overcome Powerful Failures for our big book signing at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on August 29th, the cover art has JUST BEEN APPROVED!

Keep in tune here, for more updates. We’re finally going to print!

UPDATE (8/17/2007): I received copy #1 of the book for physical review and it looks GREAT! I’m proud to announce the Premier Book Signing to be held at the National Indian Child Care Association National Conference on August 29th!

After first launching www.overcomepowerfulfailures.com as a website, I decided it was best served to host this site as a blog. And why not? So, here goes:

The book is coming! For those of you who have been asking (and that’s quite a number of you), we are proceeding forward with the book, only a few months behind schedule. I’ve begun to empathize with expectant mothers and how they must feel when people continually ask “Haven’t you had that kid, yet?” Publishing a book isn’t much different. To all of the mom’s I’ve ever asked the preceeding question, I take it back and apologize profusely.

The first serious round of edits are complete, and I understand the next step is to forward our manuscript to the publisher for their editors to begin their review. It shouldn’t be long, now!

I’m exploring the possibility of a book tour later this year. In consideration are any reasonably sized cities in which I have a guest bed or sofa on which to sleep. Of course, I haven’t asked yet, but I also plan to do a book signing at The Bookseller in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Though it changed ownership hands a few years ago, it was the site of my very first job during my freshman year of high school. Who knew someday I’d actually write a book?
