Omar Messado Releases Free Leadership Self-Audit to Help People Build Stronger Careers

Published

New York, USA, Aug 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Procurement professional and leadership advocate Omar Messado has announced the release of a free Leadership Self-Audit Checklist, a practical resource that helps people assess how they communicate, solve problems, build trust, and support others at work. The guide is designed for anyone looking to become a stronger leader, regardless of job title or industry.

After decades leading procurement teams and complex infrastructure projects for organizations including Metro-North Railroad, Kawasaki Rail Car and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), Messado believes leadership begins with self-awareness rather than authority.

“Success is not just about career growth,” said Messado. “It is about the many people you have impacted positively and how they continue to grow because you helped, supported, guided or educated them.”

The checklist encourages users to reflect on everyday behaviours that influence long-term success, including communication, planning, accountability, mentorship, and decision-making.

According to Gallup, only 23% of employees strongly agree that their leaders communicate effectively, while employees who feel recognized are 45% less likely to leave their jobs, according to research from Gallup and Workhuman. Meanwhile, LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report found that 94% of employees say they would stay longer at a company that invests in their development, and Gallup estimates that low employee engagement costs the global economy approximately US$8.9 trillion each year, demonstrating the far-reaching impact of ineffective leadership.

Messado says improving leadership starts with simple daily habits.

“Be a leader that is open to learning from others, especially those you supervise,” he said. “Give credit and recognition to those who deserve it.”

The resource also reflects one of the most important lessons Messado learned from his longtime mentor, Gennaro “Gene” Sansone.

“Say what you mean and mean what you say,” Messado said. “Integrity builds trust, and trust creates stronger teams.”

Throughout his career, Messado has been known for solving difficult procurement challenges through collaboration rather than conflict. One example came while managing a complex contract at Kawasaki Rail Car. Instead of pursuing an expensive contractual payment, he proposed an alternative solution that provided valuable deliverables to the client while allowing both organizations to reach a fair agreement.

“There is always a way to resolve things,” he said. “It does not need to be dramatic nor destructive.”

Use This in 15 Minutes

The Leadership Self-Audit Checklist can be completed in approximately 15 minutes by:

  • Rating yourself across ten leadership behaviours.

  • Identifying your three strongest leadership habits.

  • Highlighting three areas that need improvement.

  • Choosing one practical action to complete this week.

  • Reviewing your progress again after 30 days.

Common Mistakes People Make

The checklist also helps people avoid common leadership mistakes, including:

  • Assuming leadership only applies to managers.

  • Focusing on personal achievements instead of team success.

  • Avoiding difficult conversations rather than resolving them.

  • Failing to recognise the contributions of others.

  • Treating mistakes as failures instead of learning opportunities.

  • Setting goals without reviewing or adjusting them over time.

Messado believes leadership is a skill that anyone can strengthen through consistent effort and honest reflection. Leadership is not about controlling people, it is about serving and protecting them.

“My success is when you see the accomplishment of others based on your input, guidance and support,” he said. “Your success is measured by the accomplishments of your team.”

How to Get Started Today

Download or recreate the Leadership Self-Audit Checklist, set aside 15 uninterrupted minutes, answer each question honestly, and identify one behaviour you can improve this week. Revisit the checklist every month to measure your progress, celebrate small wins, and continue building habits that strengthen your leadership, relationships, and long-term career growth.

Dubai, UAE, August 7th, 2026, FinanceWire

A new kind of prop firm where traders prove their skills risk-free, with no personal funds on the line, and earn up to 90% of the profits when they pass.

Volt Funded today opened to new traders around the world. Learn more at voltfunded.com. The firm offers a new kind of prop trading: instead of risking their own savings, traders use a simulated account to prove their skills. Those who pass the challenge earn the chance to make real payouts, without their own money ever being on the line.

Starting out in trading can feel risky and out of reach. Many people worry about losing their savings before they ever learn how it works. Volt Funded was built to take that fear away, giving new traders a safe place to learn, clear rules to follow, and the chance to earn real money once they prove they can trade.

Trading Education and Evaluation

Volt Funded is on a mission to make trading something anyone can learn safely. The firm teaches a simple, step-by-step way to trade, with built-in limits that protect traders along the way. Its vision is a world where no one has to risk their own savings to find out if they can trade, a world where learning is safe and skill gets rewarded.

Start Safely: Rules That Protect Traders

At Volt Funded, trader safety comes first. The firm does not hand traders money and leave them to guess. It provides a clear plan from day one.

Traders always know their limits. Safe loss limits stop them from losing too much. Simple rules keep them on track. Clear goals show them exactly what to aim for.

Profit Sharing Model

Once traders show they can follow the rules, they earn a funded account with up to $100,000 to trade with. This is simulated capital, but the profits earned are real, and traders keep 90% of them.

There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no timer rushing trades. Traders can take their time and trade the right way. If they become profitable, Volt Funded pays out every two weeks.

Every account also comes with a simple, reliable platform, low trading costs, and friendly support in many languages, so trading feels easy from the very first day.

Trader Feedback

Traders who have completed the challenge and reached a funded account have been sharing their experience directly, from working through the rules to receiving their first payout. See their stories on Instagram, or join the conversation on Discord.

Launch Promotion

To mark its global launch, Volt Funded is giving every new trader 30% off their first challenge with the code TRYVOLT. Those who pass receive their next challenge free.

A challenge is simply a short test that shows a trader can follow the rules. It is the easiest, lowest-cost way to begin. Traders can sign up at voltfunded.com/signup.

No one needs a fortune to start, only the willingness to learn the right way. For new traders, the journey begins with a single challenge.

MEXC Lists New Ondo Tokenized Stock Pairs Spanning AI Infrastructure, Semiconductor and Rare Earth Sectors

Published

By

Mutsamudu, Comoros, August 7th, 2026, Chainwire

MEXC, a pioneer in 0-fee digital asset trading, has listed five new Ondo tokenized stock trading pairs on Spot, expanding user access to stocks spanning AI infrastructure, semiconductors, enterprise software and rare earth materials.

The new pairs are AXTION/USDT (AXT Inc), AEHRON/USDT (Aehr Test Systems), APLDON/USDT (Applied Digital), USARON/USDT (USA Rare Earth) and SAPON/USDT (SAP SE). The pairs went live on Spot on August 6, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC), with deposits now open. Withdrawals will open on August 7, 2026, at 13:30 (UTC).

Report data jointly published by MEXC and CoinGecko shows that demand for stock-related products on crypto exchanges rose notably in 2026. U.S. stock trading volume across six major centralized exchanges climbed 337.4% month over month in June to $189.84 billion, representing 48.3% of total TradFi volume and overtaking precious metals as the largest traditional-asset category for the first time. Over the same period, MEXC’s own monthly TradFi volume expanded roughly 59-fold, reaching $91.12 billion in May, while the platform ranked second by monthly market share among the six exchanges tracked for five consecutive months.

The report also found that crypto-native users are increasingly moving into traditional-asset trading. In contrast, some users with a traditional-finance background have begun shifting their trading activity to crypto exchanges, driven by round-the-clock access, lower barriers to entry, faster execution, and the ability to manage multiple asset classes from a single account. In response to this trend, MEXC has continued to expand its U.S. stock asset coverage, giving users worldwide a more efficient, lower-barrier, one-stop trading experience.

This listing marks the 27th batch of tokenized stock pairs introduced through MEXC’s collaboration with Ondo. Ondo tokenized stocks allow retail and institutional users outside the United States to instantly mint and redeem tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs 24 hours a day, five days a week. MEXC will continue to work with Ondo to bring users broader on-chain access to traditional securities.

In addition, MEXC has launched MEXC 0808: Stock Season, its annual brand event centered on “0 Fees” and “Infinite Opportunities”, running from August 8 to August 28 (UTC). Early bird registration is now open. During the event, MEXC will waive trading fees on Stock Futures, Tokenized Stocks and RealStocks. More details are available on the event page.

About MEXC

MEXC is the world’s fastest-growing cryptocurrency exchange, trusted by more than 40 million users across 170+ markets. Built on a user-first philosophy, MEXC offers industry-leading 0-fee trading and access to over 3,000 digital assets. As the Gateway to Infinite Opportunities, MEXC provides a single platform where users can easily trade cryptocurrencies alongside tokenized assets, including stocks, ETFs, commodities, and precious metals.

China, 7th Aug 2026 — JPSUN (Jinpeng Sunshine), a leading integrated manufacturer of aluminum windows and doors with 33 years of industry experience, has fully delivered custom JC77 series system windows for Cyprus coastal luxury villas, marking another milestone of its continuous global project expansion across Europe, Latin America and North America.

Founded in 1993, JPSUN operates multiple intelligent manufacturing bases focused on full vertical production of aluminum windows and doors. The brand maintains stable long-term cooperation with overseas developers and contractors, completing a series of landmark overseas developments including Spanish coastal villa communities, Bahamas high-end seaside resorts and large industrial park projects in Mexico.

The flagship JC77 villa-grade system window was selected for the Cyprus villa complex after cross-border supplier performance screening. Located on the Mediterranean coastline, the resort suffers year-round strong sea wind, salt spray corrosion and intense rainfall. Verified by JPSUN’s CNAS-certified laboratory, the product reaches Class 6 water tightness and 38 dB sound insulation, equipped with anti-corrosion surface treatment and multi-cavity thermal break frames to withstand harsh coastal climates effectively.

JPSUN’s core competitive strength stems from its dedicated 270-member R&D team, more than 300 proprietary patents and long-term university joint research programs. All core products have obtained NFRC (North America) and CE (EU) international certifications, meeting rigid construction standards worldwide.

Up to now, JPSUN’s global service network covers Central Asia, Southern Europe, Latin America and North America. Its representative completed overseas projects include high-end villas in Spain, Bahamas seaside residential resorts and large industrial complex window works in Mexico. The professional overseas engineering team delivers full-cycle support: site survey, personalized design, production supervision and complete after-sales service for international real estate developers, construction firms and architectural studios.

Industry analysts comment that manufacturers of aluminum windows and doors with full industrial chain capacity, global standard certifications and diversified overseas project portfolios hold growing market advantages worldwide. Supported by three decades of technical accumulation and proven delivery records across Europe and the Americas, JPSUN has become a reliable core supplier for international high-end construction projects.
