Judith M. Weigle
Entrepeneur, speaker, publicist, entertainment producer, marketing expert, Dancing Bear…lots of different hats have been worn by this author over the course of her career.
Judith earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, plus minors in music, journalism, communications, education, and philosophy. Amazingly, she has used all of these combined skills in all parts of her working life. Most importantly, Judith has lived in accordance with her workstyle goals, a concept she explores in greater scope in her seminars and her book.
The Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus provided her with the most developed and sophisticated marketing skills that enabled Judith to blueprint onto any event and business. “I had the best training course in marketing, publicity, and promotion, along with people skills, sales skills, and life skills, in the six years I spent with the circus, roughly spanning 1980-1987,” Weigle explains. “The stories I have to tell, about my learning experiences within the business of marketing and promoting the circus, and performing with it too, are much the same as most people’s experiences on their jobs. Mine just happened with clowns and animals. So they sound funny, while the learning lesson is something all of us experience.”
Weigle says that her resume reads like that of a cartoon character: manager, Pink Poodle Jazz Café; marketing director, tour booking agent, and Dancing Bear with Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus; promotion manager with Sarasota Children’s Opera Company; group sales with the Chicago Lyric Opera; public relations with the North American Bear Company; publicist for Equal to the Challenge by Diane Lewis; sales & marketing for West Coast Music; president of Corporate Concerts, Inc.; and author of My Office Is A Circus! Must I Take Orders From Clowns?
