Prescott, Arizona, September 03, 2008 — Andrea Goeglein, Ph.D. offers her expertise to the world. Nationally acclaimed author, business woman, TV personality and founder of the Prescott Professional Women’s Conference will welcome professionals from all over the country to her upcoming free teletalk on Wednesday, Sept. 10th, at 5pm Pacific Time. In this talk (part of a series of free teletalks) Dr. Goeglein will feature the book “An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love,” by Richard Carlson and Kristine Carlson (of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff fame).

Dr. Goeglein is often featured on AM Arizona as “Dr. Success,” and shares her expertise and passion for applied Positive Psychology and self-help books. She is also an executive mentor, motivational speaker, and author. As Dr. Success, Andrea provides unique insights and exercises designed to guide executive development and maximize the success and happiness of all who cross her path. These teletalks are part of that work.

Even at the height of his fame, Dr. Carlson chose to live authentically, declining many opportunities for fame and fortune. He remained devoted to normalcy and deeply understood that every-day life is where we find our most significant gifts. In 2003, on their 18th wedding anniversary, Richard presented his wife, Kristine, with a short manuscript called, “An Hour to Live.” In it, he imagined that the end of his life was imminent. He posed questions originally asked by author Stephen Levine: Who would you call? What would you say? and Why are you waiting? Uncannily, the small book foreshadowed Carlson’s unexpected death three years later of a pulmonary embolism.

Following his death, Kristine published the book, adding her own responses to these questions. Titled, “An Hour to Live, An Hour to Love,” Kristine asks the audience to discover their own answers. Like John Izzo’s book, “The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die,” this book suggests that we truly live right now and leave no regrets.

Dr. Success will highlight why this book is a MUST for anyone seeking to move forward on the road to success and professional development and build a life of gratitude. The call in number for this talk is 201-793-9022 (Room #9853148). There is no charge for attending. The book is available at www.ServingSuccess.com or any local library.

Dawna Lee Heising, Eye on Entertainment executive producer and hostess, has today announced that the show’s latest segment contains a highly-charged interview with Chris Tashima, who, despite a long career in Hollywood, became an “overnight sensation” when his short film narrative “Visas and Virtue” was voted the 1997 Academy Award for best live action short film. Tashima produced, directed and starred in the film, inspired by the true story of Holocaust rescuer Chiune Sempo Sugihara.

Tashima, a co-founder of the entertainment company Cedar Grove Productions, told Eye on Entertainment interviewers Stanley Goodrich and Dawna Lee Heising about his feelings on winning an Oscar, how it has changed his life and who his inspiration was.

He also discusses current and future projects, including the romantic lead opposite Joan Chen in “Americanese”, a 2008 release from IFC First Take, and an upcoming play at his Asian American theatre company, Cedar Gove OnStage.

Tashima started his acting career at East West Players in 1985 and cast Dawna Lee Heising’s daughter Marissa in his 1986 film “Chisai Samurai.” Tashima also directed, co-wrote and acted in Day of Independence, a 2003 PBS television special which received an Emmy nomination.

Tashima is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and belongs to the Directors Guild of America, Screen Actors Guild, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and Actors Equity Association.

He is an associate member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. Tashima is also a stage set designer and won a 1995 Ovation Award for Best Set Design for the 1995 East West Players’ production Sweeney Todd.

Stan Goodrich writes an entertainment column for a local Palm Springs tabloid. He is also Public Relations Manager for a computer software company headquartered in Costa Mesa, Calif.
