Author Information

"Mary Shapiro has worked as a consultant and executive trainer for more than twenty years. She holds the Kagen Trust Professorship for Leadership Development at Simmons College and is professor of practice at the Simmons School of Management. Jonathan Yen was inspired by the Golden Age of Radio, and while the gold was gone by the time he got there, he's carried that inspiration through to commercial work, voice acting, and stage productions. His ""versatile baritone"" and ""distinct and perceptive role-playing"" make for ""a striking marriage of performance and storytelling."" From vintage Howard Fast science fiction to naturalist Paul Rosolie's true adventures in the Amazon, Jonathan loves to tell a good story."
