By Mary Agnes Antonopoulos - Monday, August 18, 2008

Andrea Goeglein, Ph.D. does it again! Nationally acclaimed author, business woman, TV personality and founder
of the Prescott Professional Women's Conference will welcome
professionals from all over the country to her upcoming free teletalk on
Monday, August 18th, at 5pm Pacific Time. In this talk (part of a series
of freeteletalks) Dr. Goeglein will feature the book Shifting Sands: A
Guidebook for Crossing the Deserts of Change, by Steve Donahue.

Dr. Goeglein is often featured on AM Arizona as "Dr. Success," and
shares her expertise and passion for applied Positive Psychology and
self-help books. She is also an executive mentor, motivational speaker,
and author. As Dr. Success, Andrea provides unique insights and
exercises designed to guide executive development and maximize the
success and happiness of all who cross her path. These teletalks are
part of that work.

The author of Shifting Sands, Steve Donahue, builds on an experience
from his youth, where he and a friend literally seized the moment and
unexpectedly crossed the Sahara Desert. Steve uses this as a life
metaphor for the long journey of crossing an ever-changing desert when
we "expect" to be climbing a well-planned mountain. In this book, the
author shares that one evening the group had carefully planned their
next step in the journey - it was completely laid out, right down to
where the hills and sands and markings were. When they awoke the next
morning, there had been a sandstorm and everything was different.

This becomes one of the author's core revelations: Use a compass
instead of a map. Rather than following someone else's instructions and
roadmap to the summit, Donahue encourages his readers to use our own
inner compass and intuitive guideposts to plot our path day by day. Life
is ever changing, and no amount of maps and markers can really plot our
course - and if we think about it, would we even really want that? Dr.
Success will highlight why this book is a MUST for anyone seeking to
move forward on the road to success and professional development, as
well as how to apply the book to navigate life's unforeseen events.

The call in number for this talk is 218-486-1300 (Bridge 437683), and
there is no charge for attending. The book is available at
