Press Release For Immediate Release The Elevator is Broken . . . Gardena, CA -- August, 2005 -- The Elevator is Broken is what is needed to enhance your child’s or student’s leadership and study skills. Written by John P. Hamilton, Ed.D. and Larry D. Brown Jr., this journal/workbook is a tool for students, as well as, parents, teachers, and counselors to use from third grade well into college. The Elevator is Broken allows students to not only think about the skills they should possess, but articulate these skills as well. Lastly, this journal/workbook helps students with strengthening their study skills to be academically successful. What does renowned psychologist, educator, and author Dr. Na’im Akbar have to say about The Elevator is Broken? “At last a readable and doable manual to help young people learn leadership. In a language and with examples that fit their experience, through these exercises, young people can learn to lead before they are led away from their potential to lead themselves to success. These authors have fulfilled a great need in developing a tool to reach our young people before they go astray rather than trying to reform them after they have been misled. This workbook should be a course requirement for all young people (especially those most socially vulnerable) between Grade 3 and the college years.” To place immediate orders for the book, a book signing, and/or interview contact: Hamilton & Associates Consulting (You can place orders
