“I Don’t Believe in PhDs” and Other Fantastical Tales with Dr. Kathy Gruver
Dr. Russell Strickland [00:40:16] I guess it’s it’s you know, we have different different hats that we wear at different times in our lives, different things that we’re doing. And and yeah, you don’t need to tell, you know, the the girl or guy that’s for your coffee. You better put doctor. Oh. Oh my coffee.
Dr. Kathy Gruver [00:40:31] I’m lucky if they spell Kathy right. I’m not going to try to mess with Dr. Right. I’ll be good. Right.
Dr. Russell Strickland [00:40:37] So well, Dr. Gruver, tell us a little bit about and I will use the title a little bit about that. Your latest book, I know you said that is just out. So the timing is excellent. Well, we should have this podcast out within the next week or two, probably. So hopefully you’ll still be hot off the presses. It’s a little bit about what the book’s about.
Dr. Kathy Gruver [00:41:00] Yeah, thanks, though. It’s my it’s my eighth and it’s called Say What? How to Communicate Anything to Anyone. And I have a talk of the same name. It’s one of my programs. And when I would do my stress workshop, which is the main subject that I speak on, I’ve got books that go with that, one of which is based on my dissertation because that’s my dissertation was about. So when they get to the back of the room after the stress talk, I have one small book that is just the five techniques I teach conquer stress at work. Everybody wants that one or conquer your stress, which is about forty five techniques. So depending on how crazy intense I want to get with it, they can walk away with something after the talk. And I had done the communication talk a few times and everyone’s like, well do you have a book that goes along with this and like, ah, Drat. No I do so now I do. So it’s literally and like you said, it’s not word for word my talk, but it’s everything I cover in my talk. So depending on how long the workshop is, you know, they might get everything, they might get part of it, they might. So to have it in a different format to be able to take it home, it’s small, it’s short, it’s affordable. It’s about some eighty five dollar tome of communication, which you could certainly write. This is 11 ninety five and it’s like eighty pages. And it just it goes along with my, with my talk. And if you’re a speaker and you have your, your pocketbook or your key subject and have a book that goes along with it, whether it’s a work book or something that you can sell, that, that goes along with that speech, that’s what I would absolutely recommend. So that’s why I wrote it. It’s fun. It’s funny. It’s conversational. All of my books are just fun and kind of tongue in cheek. And I use naughty words and.
Dr. Russell Strickland [00:42:36] Well, I can tell that the book sounds like it would be a great read. Is it out there on Amazon? Can folks get it there?
