Podcasts On The Run

Friday 8 September 2006 @ 8:55 am

I’m headed out to Palm Springs this weekend for The Summer Symposium hosted by the Los Angeles Chapter of the National Speakers Association. I’m looking forward to hearing some great speakers and hoping to improve my speaking and presentation skills. Since I’ll have a 2 hour drive I decided to download some podcasts to take along in the car.

I decided to look up some of my fellow bloggers podcasts and headed over to Rosa Say’s blog, Talking Story. I went down the list in her Ho’ohana Community and found the following…

The cranky middle manager show with Present Like a Pro

Kevin Eikenberry on the Advanced Selling Podcast

Dwayne Melancon With Lisa Haneberg on Focus & Change

Greg Balanko-Dickson & Phil Gerbyshak in How’s your Creative IQ?

Easton Ellsworth via the Podcasting Roundtable

Lisa Haneberg and her Virtual Fireside Podcasts

Rosa is hosting a learning symposium all month on her site and it will be great to hear some of the participants via their podcasts. Be sure to check out her month of learning series.

You can also check out the MBA On The Run podcasts here.

We also have put up a test video podcast here.

Have a great weekend!

Podcast Book Review: The Fred Factor

Friday 1 September 2006 @ 6:02 am

Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of reading and listening to a number of great books. Books that motivate and inspire and have changed my life for the better. I thought I would share one of the gems with you today.

The “Fred Factor” is a small book that touts just over 100 pages. It’s based on a true story of a Postman named Fred and his extraordinary gift of helping and encouragement. Written by author and motivational speaker Mark Sanborn, this little book is a powerhouse of motivation for individuals or groups. I’ve put together a short 6 minute podcast that will give you a short introduction to this great little book.

As part of the MBA On The Run program, I’ve had the pleasure of listening to over 30 popular business oriented audio books this year. I would like to share some of my reviews and experiences with you. Over the next few months, I hope to be able to bring you a book review
a week. Some will be podcasts and other will be written reviews.

I’ve included my list of titles below. Most are available as audio books which are available on iTunes and also in printed version which are available online through our success store.

Many of these titles are powerful, life changing works.
