Heading for the second print run
We were just told by our publisher that they’re going to print another run. The first run was 2500 copies so that’s a good number sold in just two months. I’m psyched about that. It feels like we’re rounding the bases — and reading to run them again.
Writing a book is a [...]
Zentertainment Radio
This past week, I was lucky enough to be interviewed (you can listen here) by an amazing woman, Jo Davidson who hosts and produces Zentertainment Radio.
When she first contacted me, Jo initially asked me to talk about our book, Women Work and Autoimmune Disease: Keep Working, Girlfriend! But it soon became clear that Jo had [...]
Publishing a book is a funny thing. Tell someone, “Oh, and my book was just published…” and the response is, “Wow! What a big deal that is.”
End of conversation. Sometimes I shift my feet – or look away.
What do you say from there when, in fact, nothing HAS changed for me?
I didn’t dream [...]
If you’ve been subscribed to our feed for this blog for some time, then you may have grown accustomed to receiving 2 posts per week, one week from Rosalind and one week from me. If you also subscribe to Rosalind’s other blog, Working with Chronic Illness, we know that’s quite a lot of reading…and I’m [...]
Last February, I posted a survey to find out more about the concerns of people, like you, living with chronic illness and working (or wanting to work).
This is what I learned. Of those who responded:
2/3 or 66% worry about staying employed in the future
1/3 or 33% worry about finding employment
1/4 or 25% worry about advancing [...]
People ask me, “Why does your website, cicoach.com focus on “professionals?” And, “Why does your book (Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease:Keep Working Girlfriend!) seem to focus on well-educated and well-heeled career oriented women? ”
Honestly? I focused my company on this group because it’s the “low hanging fruit”. People who are invested in “career” have invested [...]
Women’s Health Week
Last week was National Women’s Health Week – but don’t worry if you missed it. The site is there (Society for Women’s Health Research) and you can still find out all that they do – through the coming year and more, I think. It seems to me that this begs the question: What’s up with [...]
It’s time for a little celebration. Our book is now in stock at amazon. Hooray! If you pre-ordered the book you should receive your copy soon. And, if you haven’t ordered it yet, we hope you will.
Rosalind and I wrote this book to start a conversation, and to support women with autoimmune illnesses who want [...]
Rosalind and I were invited to our first joint Internet radio interview by Monica Moshenko of www.disabilitynewsradio.com on May 3rd.
Internet radio is nothing like traditional radio. We used our telephones (I’m in California, Rosalind is in Massachusetts and Monica is in New York ). We used telephone conferencing, VOIP and a recording system to get [...]
My complimentary copies of our book, Women, Work and Autoimmune Disease: Keep Working Girlfriend! came today. (Unfortunately, Joan’s didn’t and she needs some for a speech she’s making next week so we’re scrambling.) It’s almost (but not quite) as exciting as coming home from the hospital with a newborn!
The publisher gives us some [...]
