We are proud to be working with author and keynote speaker Chuck Shelton on several videos from speaches he has made all across the country.

A nice visit with author Larry Lehmer

Author Larry Lehmer

I had a great meeting with author Larry Lehmer over at the Monaco Hotel in Seattle. Larry is a former journalist from Des Moines, Iowa who has helped numerous people write their memoirs. Larry is also a former member of the Association of Personal Historians and the author of the bestselling book “The Day the Music Died: The Last Tour of Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens” (Schirmer Books). We talked about the current state of the Personal Historian business and some of the best ways to do an interview. It was great meeting Larry and I appreciate him taking the time to visit with me.

Chuck Shelton - Leadership 101 for White Men, Speaker, Author

Author and Speaker Chuck Shelton

I originally thought the title to the book was pretty provocative and not politically correct. ”Leadership 101 for White Men.” But then I looked closer and the tag line is “How to work successfully with Black Colleagues and Customers.” Author Chuck Shelton asked us to shoot some footage and do editing on a video for his new website (www.greatheartleaderlabs.com). I met with Chuck and I learned a lot about his philosophies concerning diversity in the workplace and those old time taboos. We talked about how things have changed so much in our lifetime and for the better. Chuck is a very interesting man with a strong background in management and leadership training for companies like Microsoft, Key Bank, Wal-Mart, and Safeco.

Linda Kay Porlier - Author, Voice Over Talent, Speaker

                   Linda Kay Porlier

I first met Linda Kay Porlier a little over three years ago at a Breakfast meeting at the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce.  Since then we have done several projects together and become great friends.  Linda Kay is one of the most inspiring and kind people I have met.  She always goes out of her way to help others.  She is an author, a very sought after speaker, and now she is going into the Voice Over business.  We helped produce her audio book last year, so we know that she has a soothing, very unique voice.    Today Linda Kay came to our Inventive Productions studios to do her interview for her video biography.   It was a great experience to hear her life story in her own words.   To learn more about Linda Kay, go to http://www.followyourheartproductions.com  

Christian Chabot - "CEOs of Seattle" interview

    Christian Chabot

I was extremely impressed and energized by my interview Christian Chabot.  Christian was here to be interviewed for our "CEOs of Seattle" documentary.  He is the CEO and co-founder of Tableau Software.  Christian was educated in England, and then earned an MBA at Stanford University.  He is a pubished-author of a business bestseller, a very  sought-after keynote speaker,  and a true inspiration to me.  He has been involved with startups and venture capital companies and several high tech companies.  I think Christian gave one of the best interviews for our documentary so far.  Thank you Christian for all your help.
