Award-Winning Business Leader Kelia Bazile Shares a Journey from Teen to Executive and What it Took

TROY, N.Y. - April 22, 2013 - PRLog -- New Shelves Distribution is proud to announce that Real Stories by Real People has just released My Secrets to Success (ISBN: 9780989160803, $16.95) by Kelia Bazile.    It is a rare person who can communicate and inspire people up and down the corporate ladder. This is the gift Kelia Bazile shares in My Secrets to Success, a new autobiographical book chronicling her career path becoming the first African-American to lead a region in (Yum! Brands) Taco Bell’s forty-five-year history.     What began as a high school summer job at a fast food restaurant in a Dallas, Texas, turned out to be much more than this girl from rural Louisiana ever expected. My Secrets to Success tells an inspiring bottom up story of a young black woman who, against all odds, made it to the top tier of restaurant corporate management. With a compelling personal storyline, Bazile relates how she turned many of the adversities, obstacles and stereotypes that stop most young people, into self-motivated opportunities, while all the time encouraging her peers not to give up on their dreams—no matter what.    More than a how-to book, My Secrets to Success shines a spotlight on many of the people who inspired Bazile and provided leadership and lessons that moved her up the corporate ladder. Her ideals, strategies and techniques are expressed in a simple, understandable and useful story that can help anyone achieve success in whatever career they choose.     Kelia Bazile earned her MBA at Dallas Baptist University in 2004 and today is a Joint Venture Partner (JVP) at Carrabba’s Italian Grill based in Tampa, Florida, under the umbrella of Bloomin’ Brands, Inc.    During her tenure at Taco Bell, she and her husband, Jerriel Bazile Sr., raised three children, providing them with a healthy home and a college education. Today, Kelia is a member of Florida Diversity Council, a member of Rasmussen College Business Advisory Committee and she is a beloved teen mentor who works with community organizations to improve the lives of young people and to “create a better place to live.”    To arrange an interview with the author, or to request a review copy, contact Nicole Riley at New Shelves Distribution – nicole@newshelves.com, (518) 261-1300.
