Super Wednesday, Part 2: Retraining Your Way to a New Career
In the first half of the show, we delve into Part II of our "career-changing" segment. This week, we'll explore the new role community colleges are beginning to play in helping retiring or career-changing Boomers retrain for new work in the 21st century workplace. Joining me to talk about recent developments will be:
-- Dr. George Boggs, President, American Association of Community Colleges. The AACC is a leading advocate for the nation's more than 1,200 community colleges, which serve more than 12 million students each year.
-- Laura Robbins, Director of the Aging Program, Atlantic Philanthropies, a global foundation focused on social issues.
-- Mitzi Werther, Director of the Richland College Emeritus Program in Dallas County, Texas. She also directs the new "Boomers Re-Boot Program", a series of credit and non-credit classes contemplating retirement or retraining.
From Broadcast Producer to Voice Coach: A Career Changer Helps Clients Find Their Signature Voice
In the second half of the show, veteran TV and Radio news producer Cherie Graham joins me to talk about her new career as a communications coach. A former producer for Barbara Walters, Charlie Rose and Dr. Phil (McGraw) and media companies HBO, Paramount Studios, PBS, MSNBC and Fox News, Ms. Graham's work included producing interviews with Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro and every American president since Richard Nixon. In addition to helping clients find their "signature" voice, she's currently creating a voice program to be taught in conflict areas around the world.
