The Return of the Communication Comedy Network

After a few years, an addition and subtraction of a co host and a change in the programming, last December was the final edition of my weekly internet radio show, The Communication Comedy Network.  The show was sooo much fun both for me and for my audience.  I had so many people email in that they were sorry I had to shut it down because it made them laugh and it made them think more about the communication skills they need on a daily basis. The CCN was my opportunity to fulfill my now famous Facebook quote: "All my life I wanted to be a stand up comedian, but I'm getting older now so I'm doing it sitting down. -JoJo...

From my heart...changes for 2010

This month marks our 7th birthday!  Art of Eloquence has now been in business for over 7 years.  I'm one of those "if one is good, 10 thousand MUST be better" kind of gals!  I love helping folks and I love to give.  Each year I began by asking myself how much more I could give my customers, blog readers, newsletter subscribers, etc.  Unfortunately, in order to support my habit, I'm afraid I had backed myself into a busy corner.
