Sometimes career stewardship involves writing a whole entire book!  This is not a task for the meek but it is doable – and maybe it's doable with less pain than is normally associated with the process.  In this week's episode, we speak with author, publisher and book coach extraordinaire Jennie Nash, who is the CEO of Author Accelerator and happens to be Michael Melcher's very own and highly valued book coach.  Michael and Jennie talk about what would-be authors do wrong, why writing a book will probably not change your entire life but still possibly be worthwhile, and the role that book coaches can play in helping you get where you want to go.  A lively, entertaining episode! 

No matter how you slice it, work involves getting things done.  "Getting Things Done" is the name of a bestselling book published nearly 20 years ago by David Allen, and it's spawned a community of ardent practitioners.  In this week's episode, Michael Melcher is joined by Michael Dolan, a coaching colleague who also has deep knowledge of how this program works.  We learn why the worst thing for our brain is an open loop, why most to-do lists are of limited utility, and how even though this work is about productivity, it can also make us into better human beings.   Check it out, and then go check off those boxes! 

Michael Melcher has ANOTHER podcast – “Meanwhile:  A Podcast to Improve Your Life” – and this week we are bringing you a sample episode for you to check.  “Meanwhile” is a podcast that Michael created with another coach, also named Michael, and it covers all ways you can improve your career and life meanwhile everything else is going on.   Topics include listening, powerful questions, when to finish or give up long-term goals, creativity, the positive side of boredom and many others.  In this bonus episode, the Michaels talk about A’s and B’s, terms that refer to people who give you energy and those who sap your energy.  Guess which ones you should focus on?  Enjoy hearing this other side of Michael M.  Next week we’ll be back with another Career Stewardship episode.

Liz and Sarah share suggestions from their Facebook group about dressing up for Zoom Halloween. Their favorite idea? Be a floating head! Then they discuss a key negotiating insight they learned from Michael Melcher’s podcast, Career Stewardship — many of us accept an inferior deal because we have a dire need for closure. In Take A Hike, Liz and Sarah talk about how “reinstituting one thing” can help fight pandemic fatigue. Sarah is back to not eating carbs before 11am, and Liz is weighing herself every day again. In Hits & Bombs, Sarah gives Violet a Hit and Liz has a reading Bomb. Finally, this week’s Hollywood Hack is an easy way to get your hair Zoom-ready: Overtone temporary color.
