IN THIS SERIES
Have you ever been inspired by a teacher? The combination of care and passion, discipline and creativity, openness and focus in the right teacher changes your life and opens you up to new possibilities. That's a rare gift, and for the 9th in the series of inspirational speakers, I'm celebrating Taylor Mali, who puts it all on the line in a poem that gives us the teacher's point of view -- unforgettably. I'm dedicating this blog to Mrs. Mahoney, Mr. Pye, Miss Lord, and Professor Edgar Shannon, all of whom inspired and nurtured me. Thank you. And thanks to Terry Lavelle, who sent me the link.
Taylor Mali will be my guest on The Career Clinic Saturday, December 18th, from noon to 1p Central time. You can listen/watch by following the links at www.am1100.tv.
With any luck, Taylor will sparkle almost as much as Nick did the last time he was my guest!

Hey Nick,
You picked a fine inspirational speaker in Taylor Mali. I love his raw emotion and clever word play. I can only imagine what it must have been like to be one of his students.
I recently analyzed one of his poems on my blog that you and your readers might find interesting: http://wp.me/pwfa1-1qN
Hope you enjoy it and best wishes for the Christmas season.
John
