I’m not sure how I managed to miss the release (in March) of Madelyn Blair‘s new book, Riding the Current.
A year before the book’s publication, Madelyn talked about some of the ground-breaking content in a webinar
I attended, presented by Terrence Gargiulo.
Here’s the book’s premise (and promise), as noted on Amazon:
In Riding the Current, Madelyn Blair shares ways ordinary and extraordinary people from around the world address the limits of time and budget, massive overdoses of information, and even lack of management skill to stay current in a fast-paced world. You’ll learn new ways to keep your knowledge fresh through conscious self-guided learning that is grounded in the world around us! This book will help you discover ways in which your learning can occur outside the classroom and beyond books.
What does it have to do with storytelling? Some of the techniques for riding the current that Madelyn offers are story-based.
I expect to talk more about this terrific book once I’ve finished reading it, but what’s exciting in the meantime is that Madelyn is talking about the book on the radio. Alas, I’ve missed many of these interviews as well, but two are coming up in July:
- July 7 — 6:30pm EST CKWR Ontario, Canada
- July 14 — 1:00pm EST WWPR (webtalkradio.net) Minneapolis, MN
She has noted on Facebook that she’s having a blast doing the interviews.
I’d suggest periodically checking checking the right-hand column of her Web site, Pelerei to see if more interviews are added.
