/24-7PressRelease/ - RUTHERFORD, NJ, August 09, 2008 - Author Alvin S. Perry is a man on a mission. A seasoned corporate veteran and advocate of strategic planning and goal setting, his plan is to break the vicious cycle of kids and young adults from getting sidetracked by drugs, gangs and promiscuity. His series of books, workbooks and online course—the Critical Zone (CZ)—is designed to catch kids early and stay with them throughout middle school, high school, college, AND the first three months of entering the job force.
The CZ series is a fresh new approach to a disparaging phenomenon—adolescents lacking motivation within educational and social environments due to boredom and negative peer pressure. Composed of four titles, the series prepares students and young professionals with a simple step-by-step formula for success in school and beyond. "It is essential to reach kids 'before' they get sucked into those critical zones prior to young adulthood that are known for preventing them from establishing a solid foundation to build upon for future years," says Perry. "I have zeroed in on those life challenges by developing a solid, practical series for success which incorporates a Personal Strategic Plan (PSP)."
PSP development is a vital component of the CZ series. Each step of the program is designed to provide concise principals to prepare students to compete in higher learning institutions (top quality colleges/universities) and most importantly, the competitive world beyond. They will adapt the skills of setting goals, strategy development, and recoup the benefits of hard work on their way to becoming successful in all areas of life.
The CZ series is quickly gaining national attention from educators, schools, parents, community organizations, corporations, clergy, and the like. Since unveiling the series earlier this year, Perry has led several workshops including the United Negro College Fund Special Programs Corporation's National Symposium in Baltimore, MD on The Critical Zone: The College Experience and the US Headquarters of Novartis Pharmaceuticals in NJ to the employees on The Critical Zone: The 1st 90 Days in Your Assignment. Currently he is piloting the program in select middle schools, high schools and community colleges across the country. Perry continues, "My goal is for the Critical Zone series to be a staple in the households and hands of every child and young adult in America, especially in disadvantaged areas. We must instill in our youth, before they learn to run, that the decisions they make today will have a profound affect on the rest of their life!"
Alvin S. Perry created the Critical Zone series of books, workbooks and online training program to assist kids and young adults through the various developmental stages associated with middle school, high school, college and upon entering the work force. The complete series of training tools are designed to provide concise principles for developing a Personal Strategic Plan (PSP) for CAREER SUCCESS! Based on his own personal experiences, strategies and success, Perry believes this information will prove invaluable to others seeking both career and life fulfillment.
