Back From Vacation

Have you seen no new updates, no new articles lately? Sorry for the delay, I was attending a writers/poets workshop on the island of Spetses, Greece. "The Muses Workshop," sponsored by the Athens Center, was held in June and July. So instead of updating my blog, I was crossing borders into new frontiers into classic Greek literature and poetry, and writing a great deal of new poetry in exciting classic forms. Studying Homer's Odyssey provided lots of new examples for my Intercultural Communications workshops -- Because, just like Odysseus, aren't we all on an exciting journey back to Ithaca, confronting all sorts of interesting foreign monsters?

Stay tuned, because this weekend, I'm headed for Ocho Rios, Jamaica to give workshops on Speech Communication for the Professions for Nova Southeastern University. This workshop will include the basics of communication, interviewing and negotiating skills, and public speaking -- for both individual and group presentations.
