Listening to a story by Terry WolfishCole @tell_me_another (that's her twitter) on a zoom call from the Norfolk Libray in CT with a couple dozen folks was a nice way to start December...and there'll be more to come with sharing stories. She gave tips and overall the idea is to 'cut to the chase' in terms of engage the audience with 'stakes' in terms of what you are facing, wanting, hoping for..what you have to gain or lose...then let the listeners experience what you go through to reach a major point and then 'bring it home'.

She told a story of 'running away from home at age 5' to her

In Case You Are New to Zoom or Orientation to a job, I thought I'd share what I was given by an organization that helps Personal Care Assistants (chosen by their employer rather than through an agency, but likely very similar trainings may be required to start working or restart if one has taken time off and has not heard of the options to join a union and what a job entails. In this case there is a handbook to review online with many of the details covered in the training, but it's important for an organization, even a large one, have a record of people taking an orientation and training.
