Episode Description

Rick interviews Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss about their book B.S. Incorporated. Ut is a new book by Jennifer Rock and Michael Voss that hilariously exposes life in corporate America. Funny, insightful, and heartfelt, B.S., Incorporated is sure to speak to fans of such hits as The Office and Office Space. Although it is a work of fiction, the book draws from the authors’ real-life corporate experiences. It is a feel-good story about people finding themselves and coming into their own while simultaneously skewering every aspect of life in corporate America. “After yet another mind-numbing, daylong meeting about a project, we fled to a bar patio in the shadow of our company’s office building”, says Jennifer on the origin of the novel. “There, we drank to excess and swapped hilarious and heartbreaking tales about life in corporate America. At that point we realized we had a story—actually, many stories—worth telling, and we pinky swore that after sobering up, we'd write it!"

Our program is designed for many types of individuals. Executives gain valuable insight into some of the largest issues facing their business. Employees learn how to influence without power. Team members learn how to associate and get along better with their teams. Even non-business people will learn many things about themselves and how they view life so that they can adjust the areas that need adjusting. Each week we cover goals and goal setting and learn how to break down large problems into small achievable wins. We also share tips on managing people without the normal tools of an HR manager.
