FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WORLD-RENOWNED BUSINESS CONSULTANT, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR RAM CHARAN REVEALS HOW TO GROW FAST AND MAKE AN IMPACT

On Saturday, July 8, 2017, renowned global consultant and prolific, best-selling author Ram Charan, Ph.D., will reveal how any entity can grow fast and make an impact for good. Talking with mentor Tom Loarie on the popular business radio show “The Mentors,” Charan will share his surprisingly clear yet profound learnings and observations from street vendors as a youth, the five basics to understanding business, and thought-expanding insights into the radical changes he sees in business and economic trends that will soon make or break companies, and what this means for today’s business growth strategies.

“Ram has the rare ability to distill meaningful from meaningless and transfer it in a quiet, effective way without destroying confidences,” says Jack Welch, former chairman of General Electric.

Ivan Seidenberg, former CEO of Verizon concurs, referring to Charan as his “secret weapon.”

Charan is no ordinary consultant. He lives and breathes what he observes and advises to others. As he puts it, “I live out of a suitcase.” He literally lives as a pilgrim, traveling around the world from one assignment or opportunity to another, managing to find time to author more than 25 books, which have sold well over two million copies and been translated into more than 12 languages.

Already with three Wall Street Journal best-sellers, including “Execution,” which he coauthored with former Honeywell CEO Larry Bossidy, a book that has spent more than 150 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. In addition to books, he has written for publications that include Harvard Business Review, Fortune, BusinessWeek, Time, Chief Executive and USA TODAY.

Ram’s introduction to business came early while working in the family shoe shop in a small town in northern India, where he was raised. He earned an engineering degree in India and soon after took a job in Australia. When his talent for business was discovered, Ram was encouraged to develop it. He earned MBA and doctorate degrees from Harvard Business School, where he graduated with high distinction and was a Baker Scholar, then served on the faculties of Harvard Business School and Northwestern University before pursuing consulting full-time.

“The Mentors” host Tom Loarie first encountered Dr. Charan at a lecture at Northwest University, and over the years they developed a friendship, which makes this particular interview a special treat for Loarie and his audience.

Ram’s non-stop global travels give him an unparalleled, up-to-date insider view of how economies and leading companies operate. Through keen observation and analysis, he helps business leaders face their toughest challenges in the areas of growth, talent development, corporate governance, and profitability. Even more remarkable, his is a well-earned track-record of unmatched perspicacity, calm candor in the assessing, evaluating and predicting of trends, genuine humility and respect for others, and concise, brilliantly actionable strategy development. His work is backed by diligent research and a relentless, fresh sense of wonder.

Tom Loarie, CEO of BryoLogyx, is one of three rotating CEO hosts of “The Mentors” radio show. His pioneering leadership in the life sciences sector has resulted in more than 20 medical devices brought to market, some of which are life-saving.  The following week, CEO host Ric Brutocao, former president of DACOR and the head of a number of companies over the years will host the show, and CEO host John Phillips, co-owner with his wife, Mary, of one of the largest and most customer-centric stained glass window companies in the industry—Associated Crafts Willet-Hauser, with legacy stained glass work throughout the country that is more than a century old, will host the show a week later.

“The Mentors” radio show can be heard on the Salem Communications network stations KTRB AM860 San Francisco (Saturdays, 7am and Sundays Noon), KCBQ AM1170 San Diego (Saturdays, Noon) and On-Demand Nationwide at TheMentorsRadio.com, where it is also available by free subscription on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Tune-in and other apps.
