June 5th - The Journey to a Traditional Publisher

00:00 / 0:52:32

It is every writer’s dream, isn’t it? To be published by a mainstream, traditional publisher. Today’s guests’ individual books are being released mid-June by two different, readily recognized, traditional publishers. Different stories, different journeys, same end result. How did they do it?

Echo Garrett co-authored My Orange Duffel Bag: A Journey to Radical Change. This mini-memoir of Sam Bracken, her co-author, shares his journey of abuse, homelessness and abandonment to becoming a successful college athlete and then leader in business. Echo now leads a non-profit called the Orange Duffel Bag Foundation, which teaches the book’s transformational change principles to at-risk youth ages 12-24. This is Echo’s third appearance on Write Here, Write Now.

Joel Manby is president and CEO of Herschend Family Entertainment – the largest family owned theme park corporation in the U.S. Joel has also been a highly successful corporate executive at Saturn and then as Saab North America’s CEO. He was featured on a 2010 episode of the hit TV series Undercover Boss. Joel’s book is Love Works. Seven Timeless Principles for Effective Leaders. In Love Works, Joel provides the framework for successful leadership that results not only in a deeply satisfying work life, but also in a passionate and motivated workforce. Joel comes to Write Here, Write Now after a week in New York City where he was promoting his book.

Three Griswold Home Care Caregivers win National Awards!

Three Griswold Home Care Caregivers win National Awards!

00:00 /

Six months ago, the National Corporate staff of Griswold Home Care asked each of its 175 offices to submit names of Caregivers that would be recognized nationally from amongst more than 10,000 Caregivers working with Clients of Griswold Home care. There were three awards to be given, with a first, second and third place, and “honorable mentions” for each award. The awards were:

Caregiver of the Year
Mentor Award
Self Development Award

The Atlanta Northeast and Lanier offices of Griswold Home Care submitted three Caregivers as candidates for these awards. Today’s show celebrates the fact that all three Caregivers nominated received a national award!

Sharon McCullough, on our registry for 17 years, was nominated for both the Self Development Award and the Mentor award. These nominations stemmed from a very difficult client for whom Sharon developed an approach to care that helped educate herself, her fellow Caregivers, and the Client’s family. The results were remarkable, moving the Client from a place of resistance and combativeness to peace and positive interaction with those around her. From a pool of 10,000 Caregivers, Sharon won 1^st place for the Self Development Award, and 2^nd place for the Mentor award.

Patrice Newkirk was a self-starter from the moment she joined us in 3008. Her very first case had her driving 36 miles one way 5-6 days per week. Typically dealing with difficult clients, Patrice has taken the initiative to learn about the things that interest and affect her clients, whether or not she had a personal interest in the subject. She has also educated herself on the various health conditions from which her clients suffer so that she can better relate to their experience, and so that she can quickly recognize the symptoms of a worsening condition. For this, Patrice was awarded 2^nd place for the Self Development award.

Elaine Lawson has demonstrated over and over, in the seven years with Griswold Home Care, that she is a “caregiver’s caregiver”! With compassion and determination, she has exemplified the meaning of the word “caregiver” by keeping her clients comfortable, informed, active and safe. She routinely goes “above and beyond the call”, even spending her own free time rushing over to help her clients whenever they call for her. Consequently, Elaine has received an “honorable mention” as the overall National Griswold Home Care Caregiver of the Year.

Please join us in congratulating these fine, professional Caregivers on their achievement. We are thrilled to have them on the show to tell their stories. For more information on Griswold Home Care, please visit our website at www.gscatlanta.com, or call us at (770) 908-0707.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for 20 years. Griswold Home Care has offices in more than 175 markets nationwide.
