Show Notes  I believe we covered very fresh ground today on this entertaining and informative show with Labor law attorney Teresa McQueen. What Teresa learned early in life as a blackjack dealer in Las Vegas she has used to transform her hugely successful law practice. Now she even spreads her intelligent and ever-so insightful wisdom as podcast host of Workplace Perspective. Our show begins with Teresa describing her professional journey, and in doing so, she reveals one key idea that may be the secret to her success and to yours as well. That is, Civility—an infrequently used word for just being nice! Teresa has discovered measurably good results in the courtroom and business and in life in general, simply by relying on a habit of respect for the needs and positions of other people—even the attorney sitting across the aisle. How does that message apply to you and me? Listen to this lively and informative conversation with attorney, Teresa McQueen.

Kelly Barber and her sister Wendi Cihacek share their journey with pancreatic cancer. Kelly talks honestly and emotionally about losing her husband, George, in 2006 to Pancreatic Cancer. Wendi did the unimaginable and moved across the state to support her sister and help with her niece, Megan, who was 2 at the time. Kelly took her pain and grief and turned it into something positive. She became involved with her local PanCAN affiliate, attending meetings, raising awareness and funds and sharing her journey with Members of Congress. Not surprisingly Wendi stepped in and supported her at every turn. Kelly shares, “When we first got started, it was just for George. Today, it’s still for George, but it’s also for all the people we’ve met who are alive and fighting.”  Only on www.octalkradio.net Orange County's only Community Radio Station, livestreams from UCI Beall Applied Innovation Center @TheCove www.facebook.com/LivingHope2055

LinkedIn is a powerful network with more than 740M active users. We're all on it and we're all talking at each other. But we may not be using the platform in the way it was intended. For savvy entrepreneurs and book authors, LinkedIn has become a new source of revenue. It's probably good to know that book marketing on the platform doesn't have to be a hard sales pitch--it should be an education and networking opportunity. 

Joining us today is LinkedIn and sales expert and author of Entrepreneur's Ultimate Guide to LinkedIn for Business, Ted Prodromou.

In Part 2 of our interview with Melanie Pizzey, she chats with us about being a female leader in a male-dominated industry. She reflects upon her early role models being the strong women in her family and foundational TTI leaders, Paul Andrews and Craig Conrad. Melanie had an early determination to succeed and was taught to value and accept people for who they are. She learned how to navigate the boardroom to ensure her thoughts were heard. Her courage and confidence came from being well prepared, respecting those around her, and seeing herself as equal. "Think about your end goal and develop a plan to get there," Melanie says. "Perception becomes reality."  Melanie talks about the value of being open-minded,  listening, trying new things, and mindfully disconnecting at times to reflect upon your goals, and behave your way to success. Support the show (http://www.womeninelectronics.com)

Show Notes  “You could be retired for decades — so you might as well get good at it!” Our guest today, Andy Robin, truly “loves what he writes.” In his recent book, The Tapas Life, Andy articulates fresh ideas about living a delicious life—one with all the tastiness of a Tapas meal. And for those of us not familiar with the Spanish idea of “Tapas” just think of a meal consisting only of several appealing appetizers with no “main course.” On this show, Andy will share how a life of what he refers to as “prototyping vs creating a Grand Plan” and then provides generous wisdom for those in retirement, but also for those smack dab in the center of today’s busy and demanding world of work. Andy Robin is a man of deep and provocative wisdom about how to live with vigor and vitality. Please enjoy my conversation as we share a taste of a Tapas Meal. Please check out Andy’s delight and Informative book: TAPAS LIFE: A Rich and Rewarding Life After Your Long Career   For more on Charlie you can visit The Next Chapter with Charlie
