About the Book

This book describes the journey and the incredible results of Dave and Liane Phillips' efforts to help those in poverty find their way to self sufficiency. Under the premise that existing job-readiness programs only focus on job placement and not retention, Dave and Liane Phillips created a poverty to economic self-sufficiency program with an 80 percent one-year employment retention rate. In the past three years this organisation, Cincinnati Works, has brought $25 million in wages locally to over 1500 families. The not-for-profit offers a complete spectrum of free, lifetime employment services for the entry-level job-seeker to sustain and advance in today s work climate. The model is a winner of the 2009 Manhattan Institute Social Entrepreneur Award. Following its success, Dave Phillips is now volunteering as a consultant for similar programs in other cities.

About the Author :
Liane Phillips currently serves as interim president of the award-winning Cincinnati Works, which she co-founded along with her husband of fifty years, Dave Phillips, former managing partner at Arthur Anderson. A 2009 Manhattan Institute Social Entrepreneurship Initiative award, 2005 Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics, and that same year, a Best Practices Back-to-Work Program from The American Institute for Full Employment, are just a few of the accolades their non-profit has received. A lifelong humanitarian, Liane has led the way in drug and child abuse prevention, and in literacy, self-sufficiency, and career development programs. Liane and Dave make their home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Echo Montgomery Garrett is an award-winning career journalist and author of numerous books. Her work has been published in over 75 national magazines, newspapers, and websites, and she has appeared on numerous television and radio broadcasts, including Good Morning America. Her humanitarian work includes serving as board member for Gift for a Child/The Heart Gallery Southeast, a foster care advocacy program. She lives in Marietta, Georgia.

Review :
"This richly detailed, informative book shares the hard-learned experience of Cincinnati Works in helping thousands of hard-to-employ men and women find good jobs . . . well worth reading for anyone confronting one of the major issues our nation is facing." -- John E. Pepper "retired chairman & CEO, The Proctor & Gamble Company"
