Joanie Connell is here to talk to us about being helicopter parents, or more to the point, about not being helicopter parents. She is the suthor of the book Flying Without a Helicopter. This book teaches readers what it takes to be successful in the workplace and how to get there. It is about parenting, educating, and managing to help young adults build skills to succeed in an increasingly competitive world.
It advises parents, educators, and managers, as well as young adults, on what is important to help produce healthy, independent, self-reliant employees who will thrive on their own. The advice in this book is based on decades of experience in working and consulting with employees, managers, and executives in the business world.
Joanie Connell’s expertise on what it takes to make it in the real world of work has been accumulated over 20 years of experience in the workplace and over a decade of research in academic literature and the media.
We are also joined by musical guest Jonas Woods. Jedlie uses this occasion to announce that Jonas will be performing a concert to benefit the St Mary of the Hills Shelter Ministry Program, a program Jedlie and his wife lead.
