Interview: Robert C. DinersteinI’m Judith West and I just interviewed Bob Dinerstein, chairman of Everybody Wins. Everybody Wins is a mentoring organization based on the concept of one volunteer, one child, one book. I read about him in a Letter to the Editor where he mentioned that all we hear about lately is how much money there is in Washington to spend on education. He was the first one I read in a while who said we’re not accomplishing basic things like teaching kids reading without spending more money. That’s why I had him on my show, Getting Your Money’s Worth. It isn’t about spending more money. After all, haven’t we been spending enough? “It’s about the quality of what happens in the classroom,” says he, and he starts with the basic concept of interesting kids in reading as a method of giving them self confidence and an interest in learning. This Everybody Wins is a very good organization and concept. Now, if you’ve got any time to volunteer, think about it. You could do worse than spend an hour a week reading to a kid in the New York City public schools – or any schools, actually. Think about it and let me know what you think. |

Interview: Catherine KaputaI’m Judith West and I just interviewed the author of The Female Brand – and you know what? This female brand, I’ve been there and done it. She had a point of view that men don’t leave their gender at the door when they’re doing business, why should women? I sold for a living and I used to get very frustrated when men buyers (most of my buyers were male) didn’t call me back and I had to call them back. And I used a little femininity. I would say, “Gee, I was wondering, are you okay? Everything alright with your family? Cause you didn’t call me back. And it’s not like you.” Or, “I sent you a sample and I’m really surprised I didn’t hear from you.” Now, I call that using your femininity to your advantage. What do you think? |
