Trusted Advocate: Accelerate Success with Authenticity and Integrity, first published in March 2008, is a self-help business book written by John Mehrmann, and co-author Mitchell Simon.
The book applies management techniques and leadership skills to the sales profession. Each chapter is a self-contained topic that can be referenced independently, or as a step in a linear process. This format allows for presentation of a wide variety of seemingly unrelated concepts, with a central theme of encouraging responsible obligation for the goals of the client.
Throughout the book, Mehrmann points to principles as an approach to develop relationships, and to expedite the sales process. The premise is that customers will be more responsive with a sales associate who demonstrates honesty and integrity. While this approach may seem old-fashioned and common sense, Mehrmann and Simon introduce a series of stories and challenges that illuminate the degree to which these principles are lacking in practice. The Trusted Advocate proposes that the principles popularized by Stephen Covey are in such rare supply as to be a differentiating competitive edge in modern business.
Mehrmann and Simon encourage the reader to be an active participant by providing an activity in each chapter. The activity is typically a series of questions that prompt the reader to personalize the concepts. The approach of identifying individual strengths is a management technique widely evangelized by Marcus Buckingham. The Trusted Advocate uses a pragmatic methodology for sales professionals to discover individual strengths through the use of these activities. Then, applying relationship techniques popularized by Keith Ferrazzi, the reader is challenged to apply these strengths for a positive influence in a personal network, the community, and mutual success.
The Be-Do-Have Paradigm
The Trusted Advocate contains thirty-five chapters, presented in three sections, as the three obligations. In the introduction, the authors outline a recurring process of Plan-Do-See. Make a plan, do it, see the results, and then use the experience to plan again. This circular process is then associated with the concept of the Be-Do-Have Paradigm. The Be-Do-Have Paradigm challenges the order in which things much be accomplished to achieve personal fulfillment. A common paradigm is based on the belief that people must have what they desire before they can do what they want to do, and only then become the person that they want to be. The Be-Do-Have Paradigm reverses that order, and proposes that an individual must begin by being the person that he or she wants to be. Then, by doing the actions of the person that he or she wants to become, the person will eventually have the appropriate results. The combination of the Plan-Do-See methodical process, and the Be-Do-Have philosophical paradigm, are the basis for the three primary sections of the book.

Moghborr is a young bugbear in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign played by the Northland Preparatory Academy Games Club, with Mr. Vincent Bono acting as Dungeon Master.
Moghborr grew up in a tribe of bugbears working for a powerful necromancer by the name of "The Hand" (character and all rights owned by Mr. Bono). These bugbears were a raiding party, acting as the brute force to back up The Hand's sinister intellect. Mohgborr lived an average life for a bugbear, spending his life looting, training, and pillaging. The zenith of his life came, however, when The Hand ordered him and a couple comrades to lead a force of goblinoids serving Faulgar, a were-rat wizard. A party of adventurers infiltrated the lair of Faulgar, and after tricking Faulgar into sending most of his army elsewhere, the adventurers attacked, and Mohgborr led a small band of kobolds, orcs, goblins, and a few bugbears into combat to defend their sinister master. Unfortunately, Mohgborr fell, as a black bear commanded by a Wood Elf Ranger, played by Mak Manson, ripped open Mohgborr's chest cavity. Faulgar and the goblinoids soon fell, and the party began to rejoice until they heard the sound of a hill giant approaching. A Half-Elf Cleric/Necromancer, played by Foster Bousquet, cast Animate Dead on Mohgborr, and Mohgborr rose to fight with the party. The hill giant emerged, and the adventurers began to assault it. Nathan Grey, a Human Warrior played by Krishen Blows, attempted to hamstring the giant, but the giant kicked him, and he fell down, dropping his knife. The giant turned to stomp on Nathan, but was stopped as Mohgborr intercepted by grievously wounding the giant with a swing from his battle-axe, effectively saving Nathan's life. The giant was soon slain, the Necromancer released his spell, and Mohgborr's lifeless corpse fell to the ground. Nathan approched it, and took the patched-up, ratty piece of cloth that Mohgborr wore across his shoulders and back, and Nathan donned it as a cloak. Forever wearing The Cloak Of Mohgborr as a memorial to the big, furry goblinoid that had saved his life. The only downside is that due to Mohgborr's less-than-obsessive regard to personal hygiene in life, the cloak is so foul that it comes with an automatic -5 Charisma modifier.
