August 29: Blogtalk Radio - Ask the Muse

Author Linda Cureton will be hosting a book discussion on her latest book
The Leadership Muse on BlogTalk Radio.

It will air
 Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at 7:00 pm.   


Leadership is for the birds!  No, really!  Birds have always been an inspiration and a source of awe for mankind, and without them, we human beings might still be grounded.  Ted Andrews, author of Animal-Speak says that they "...have often been considered the symbols of the soul.

Tune in to learn more and hear other flowers of leadership wisdom from the host's highly praised book, The Leadership Muse 

If you can't catch it live, you can still listen to Blogtalk Radio episodes on-demand at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ask-the-leadership-muse.
