You can develop diamonds. If you've ever wondered if there is more to work than just going through the motions, you'll relate to Mason. You see, Mason has struggled for a long time to find satisfaction in his work. Day after day, he goes through the motions, following the "another day, another dollar" mentality. Until one day. The day, he attends Sophie's new project proposal. She nicknames it "The Diamond Project." Mason notices something different in the way Sophie presents the project. He can't put his finger on it. He asks if she'll explain it over lunch. One lunch turns into a series of lunches as Sophie shares how she became a "diamond miner." Join Mason as he follows Sophie's lead. Her simple yet often overlooked suggestions take Mason on a journey of discovery that allow him to develop his own diamonds, as well as the diamonds of those around him. He discovers the same principles are effective at home, in his community, and at work. He begins to realize that there's more to work, and life, than just punching a clock. Mason's journey in The Diamond Project will help you understand the following: • how to develop your diamonds and help other people develop theirs, • how to give yourself permission to be truly successful, • how to ask the right success questions of the right people, • the importance of environment, and • the diamond equation. Join Mason on his journey to becoming a diamond miner because if he can do it, you can too!

Africa's diamond wars took four million lives. They destroyed the lives of millions more and they crippled the economies of Angola, the Congo, Liberia and Sierra Leone. The biggest UN peacekeeping forces in the world-in Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Congo and C te d'Ivoire―are the legacy of 'conflict' or 'blood diamonds'. 'Blood on the Stone' tells the story of how diamonds came to be so dangerous. It describes the history of the great diamond cartel and how it gradually lost control of the precious mineral, as country after country descended into anarchy and wars fuelled by diamonds. The book describes the diamond pipeline, from war-torn Africa to the glittering showrooms of Paris, London and New York. It describes the campaign that began in 1999 and which eventually forced the industry and more than 50 governments to create a global certification system known as the Kimberley Process, aimed at wringing blood diamonds out of the retail trade. This gripping account concludes with a sobering assessment of the certification system, which soon became hostage to political chicanery, mismanagement and vested interests. Too important to fail, the Kimberley Process has been hailed as a regulatory model for Africa's extractive minerals. Behind the scenes, however, it runs the risk of becoming an ineffectual talk shop, standing aside as criminals re-infest the diamond world.
