A good friend of mine and I were commiserating this week about growing older and how often we feel so differently than we actually look.  She and I both have naturally curly hair that we’ve crimped, curled, dyed and styled to look as good as it can.  Even with all that work on our outsides, it sometimes does not begin to penetrate the committee of voices inside our heads who say—in real life—we actually look very frumpy with our bubble hair-do’s and not as much like Catherine Denuvue as we would like to believe.

This Thursday, October 23 from 3-4pm EST, I’ll be interviewing Joel Zeff, who is a Humorist and National Speaker, about his book “Make the Right Choice: Creating a Positive, Innovative, and Productive Work Life”.

Joel has been on many, many shows including Donny Deutsch, so The Coaching Commons is thrilled to have him join us!  This is an opportunity you will not want to miss!

In “Make the Right Choice”, Joel shares his experience and insight on creativity, communication, teamwork, passion and fun.  Joel connects to his audience with humor and since I seem to collect funny people in my life, I’m hoping y’all will join us for this live webcast interview.

As the host of Book It: words for the soul, which is part of www.coachingcommons.org, our interviews are conducted over the phone in a conference call format.  In order for you to be able to hear the live interview and HOPEFULLY, participate in the call, please go to the coaching commons website, click on the “Uncommon Conversations” tab in the upper right corner and scroll down the new page when it comes up to find the write up about Joel at the Book It site.  Look to the right hand side of the page for the place to sign up.  Once you’ve signed up you’ll receive, by email, a phone number to call in for the show.

Of course, the live show will be recorded for those who can’t join us so that you can listen to it later—but please do try to join us–I’d like to experience Joel in action with a live group of people and his improv!

Here in the United States we are going through a collective consciousness raising that is none too comfortable for most of us.  Many of us have lost our jobs or are experiencing the fear of losing our jobs, many of us have lost our homes, and many of us are experiencing a shortage of customers/clients asking for our services. We need to take a collective big breath and know that the problem in front of us is never as great as the support behind us. We will be okay. We will come through this.
