- Judicial Service Careers with Judge Gayle Williams-Byers and Tom Hodson
Donning judicial robes, taking the bench, and sitting in judgment of others on a daily basis can bring great professional satisfaction but problems may also arise, say two trial judges.
Judge Gayle Williams-Byers, an African-American woman judge in the South Euclid Municipal Court in Ohio and retired/visiting judge Thomas Hodson talk about dedicating part of their careers to service and the upsides of doing that.
Both agree that problem solving in courtrooms can give great personal satisfaction. Helping victims and making sure everyone’s constitutional rights are protected bring feelings of “doing-good” and administering justice.
These types of “service” positions are essential for society and give each judge a personal and professional sense of doing something “positive” with their professional lives. Both feel that what they do – makes a difference in their communities – a positive contribution.
Yet, both face challenges. It is sometimes difficult to make sure that courts are understandable and accessible to the general public. Both work with programs to make courts more approachable.
For example, Judge Williams-Byers livestreams all her court sessions to make what she does transparent to the community.
Both have worked with night courts and weekend courts to make courts more accessible. Also, both make sure that they are not administering “cookie-cutter” justice but tailor outcomes and penalties to meet individual situations.
Both face personal challenges as well. They say that being a judge can often be a lonely position which demands a great degree of social isolation from peers. Being a judge also demands an extreme degree of emotional reserve and control.
Retired-judge Hodson relates how that emotional withdrawal in court can sometimes spill over to one’s personal life causing some difficulties as a spouse or a parent.
Despite any challenges, both judges feel that the benefits of their service outweigh any detriments.50 min - Preview for Episode 003Coming up next week on Jazzed About Work, host Beverly Jones welcomes two people who have chosen service as part of their professional portfolio.Judge Gayle Williams-Byers, municipal court judge in South Euclid, Ohio, and Tom Hodson, visiting judge in Athens, Ohio.

- John P. David
In this technological age, we all have major online vulnerabilities and each of us is easily “digitally documented,” according to author, consultant and public relations specialist John Paul David.
The average person, says David, is seen on surveillance cameras an average of 75 times per day.
All of this leads to online searches for potential job applicants, people seeking promotions, loan applicants, businesses and many other situations.
He not only cautions everyone but especially young people starting careers to be extra careful of their digital footprint and to routinely check their own search results for negative and damaging entries.
David also has developed a checklist for people to follow to be extra cautious.
David has been a strategic communication specialist and marketing professional for the past 25 years. One of his specialties is counteracting negative online information and reputation management.
In October 2016, David became a first-time author writing, “How to Protect (Or Destroy) Your Reputation Online: The Essential Guide to Avoid Digital Damage, Lock Down Your Brand, and Defend Your Business.”
He also writes an award-winning blog and regularly contributes to the Huffington Post.
He is a graduate of the University of Florida.32 min - Kerry HannonKerry Hannon, a noted authority on work and career, has published countless articles and books about how to follow your heart to find the work you love.
