The Terry Anzur Coaching Blog is moving to a new and better format. From now on, you can read all of my posts at http://www.terryanzur.com/. You can still access the old posts here, but the new and improved website will allow me to post news updates more frequently. And, best of
all, it's your one-stop shopping for all of the services offered by Terry Anzur Coaching Services:
-station or web site talent coaching packages;
-media training for individual s in journalism and public relations;
-journalism best practices for emerging democracies.
Here's something else that's new: a company logo! It was designed on crowdspring.com in a competition involving graphic artists from all over the world. The winning design, by an artist in Colombia, South America, managed to capture the theme of power performance and star quality in global media.

Many thanks to my former USC student, J.R.Raphael, for the web design. He is also profiled in my book, "Power Performance: Multimedia Storytelling for Journalism and Public Relations." The student has truly become the teacher; he's a contributing editor to PC World, an authority on all things Droid and founder of a very entertaining site called http://www.esarcasm.com/.

Another bonus: the new site will link you to a 20% discount code for the book until July 30.
See you on the new http://www.terryanzur.com/! As always, I welcome your comments.

Catching Some Rays

It's always a good day to go the ballpark, but even more special when you are there with a guy who writes baseball books. I'm in Florida to visit my co-author Tony Silvia and work on our book, "Power Performance: Storytelling for Multimedia Journalists."
He scored some sweet seats at Tropicana Field for the Rays and Texas Rangers. We enjoyed a great brunch in the Whitney Bank Club, and an awesome vantage point on the first base line. We also paid a visit to the broadcast booth to visit play-by-play man Dewayne Staats. Tony's most recent book is "Fathers and Sons in Baseball Broadcasting," and we had a chance to meet one of the people he has profiled, Todd Kalas, son of the late of the late Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas.You can check out Tony's book at this link: http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-3815-0Thinking back to some fun times with my dad, watching the Dodgers or the minor league Quakes, I can't thank Tony enough for sharing his "inside baseball" world with me. I also was able to meet several of his colleagues from the University of South Florida at a party for new grad students. Nice people, great fun, but back to work tomorrow!
