Hey everyone, Lynn here
I would love-love-love to have a handful of special Coaches from the Coaching Commons group to join us for this call. Joel Zeff is a hoot and is a national speaker who has presented to more than a thousand companies and organizations. We’re going to be talking with him about his book, “Make the Right Choice: Creating a Positive, Innovative and Productive Work Life”. My hope is that we can really make this an “uncommon conversation” and perhaps get Joel to create a spontaneous improv (is that redundant?) group of Coaches and see what we can create!
Come one come all, but just please do join us for this call!
Lynn:
Thank you for the opportunity to be on your show. I am looking forward to talking about my book’s messages on leadership, work/life balance, passion, communication, creativity, change and teamwork. I must warn the audience, though. Strange things seem to happen to me when I do these tele-seminars/podcasts/webcasts/phone interviews/whatever you call them.
Here is what happened during my last two:
1. During a tele-seminar, someone’s line became unmuted and the listener was having a conversation with I think was her cat.
2. Yesterday, I was being interviewed for a blog podcast when the host somehow dropped off the line. I began calling out his name like a lost child looking for a parent at the department store. And yes, the dead air and me calling out the host’s name is still in the podcast.
I will make three promises:
1. I will not use the word “recession”.
2. I will not reference PowerPoint slides with upside down triangles or interlocking circles.
3. We will have fun.
Looking forward to the interview. For those listeners interested in doing their homework, you can learn more about my book and presentations at http://www.joelzeff.com or http://www.maketherightchoicethebook.com.
Talk with you tomorrow.
Joel
Lynn, thank you for taking a minute to share this call with me. Jeff is definitly a real individual. His message on this call really speaks to living a life that you enjoy.
Living what you love and loving what you live.
Jeff’s insight on passion, persistince and choosing to make choices is one that every individual or organization needs to be reminded of daily until they make it a habit of their own
Brian:
Thank you for the kind review. I had a wonderful time being interviewed by Lynn. I have done about a half dozen of these podcasts/tele-seminars, and this one is definitely one of my favorites.
For those still thinking about listening, here are a few of the messages Lynn and I discussed:
1. Stay in the game.
2. Be in the moment.
3. Ask the question: What can I do to make people around me more successful?
4. Create opportunity and positive support.
5. Making sure everyone knows my name is “Joel” and not “Jeff”.
Have a Happy Halloween. I think I might go this year as “Jeff”.
Joel
Joel, my apologies. Yes it is important for everyone to know that Joel Zeff is the man I listened to. Jeff Zeff is an imposter.
Thanks again Joel for incorporating humor into your daily life.
