“When teaching Speech Communication, I ask professional speakers, politicians and analysts to speak to my class. the running topic is "The importance of public speaking in the American political system." When a scheduled speaker had to pullout, elie stepped up and, using Skype, had a live, interactive conversations from New york with my students in central Missouri. In addition of my students, the Director of the evening Campus of columbia College was also in attendance to witness the use of technology in the classroom. All felt that Elie did a wonderful job speaking with and answering the many questions from the class. I very much appreciate elie's time and would highly recommend him to speak to your class or organization live or via the Internet.”

You're starting a new job in strategic communications. How do you avoid overworking yourself?
Spend time before each engagement (crisis, retained, project, whatever) and determine what's urgent and what isn't. Just because a client WANTS something ASAP doesn't mean they NEED something ASAP. Have good teammates Find a mentor Make sure your partner/spouse is aware of your stresses, especially if you're in the midst of working on a crisis. I'm pretty sure being Sabbath observant has kept my career going. I'm not suggesting everyone go that far, but definitely find time to unplug *every week* for a few hours (in a row).

God Bless Joe Biden and his family. History will - deservedly- treat him incredibly kindly, a life of service capped with an incredibly selfless act.
