Interview 2 Judi Explains the Process
Interview 3 It's a Circus Out There!JudiM is available for radio, telephone, or e-mail interviews. Suggested interview topics include:
Clowning Around With Crisis
Performance Tools: Crisis Avoidance, Creative Logic
JudiM chose to throw Bubbles the Clown out of the car on the way to a 5:30a.m. television interview in Panama City, FL. She did this in order to maintain authority and respect in an out-of-control situation. This story deals with preparedness, quick decision-making, and conflict resolution. (Anyone in a management position will relate to this situation.)
Don’t Take
Orders From Clowns
Performance Tool: Creative Logic
JudiM allows Bubbles the Clown to be taken to jail for an overnight stay in Muscle Shoals, AL because Bubbles became arrogant, prideful, illogical and demanding when he was unjustly attacked by children in the mall parking lot. This story deals with the use of logic and decision-making under pressure. (Management people and parents can relate to this.)
Feed Your Friends
to the Lions
Performance Tool: Idea Energy
JudiM develops a radio promotion with this title, and becomes surprisingly aware of the commonality of women’s frustrations with men, both personally and professionally. This story deals with venting emotion safely. (This lesson is good for people who are employees of a large corporation, both men and women.)
Win Emotional Juggling Matches
Performance Tool: Mental Chess
When her paycheck doesn’t arrive on time in Rustin, LA, JudiM stages a temporary walkout until payment is resolved. This story involves forced group consensus, conflict resolution, formulation of an equally balanced relationship, and a demonstrated way of using logic and common sense. (Good topic for an audience of blue-collar workers, corporate employees, and students of negotiation.)
Innovation Rattles Cages
Performance Tools: Idea Energy, Crisis Avoidance
The year JudiM gets married to the circus band leader she gives up her previous position as contracting agent to become the Dancing Bear, and a housewife, while living in a trailer and traveling with the show. This story involves inevitable change in our lives, with creative and resourceful ways to make the best of a situation. (A good audience for this story is women of all ages, college students, and middle managers.)
Get Creative
With Crisis
Performance Tools: Crisis Avoidance, Idea Energy
JudiM challenges herself by reviving basic Spanish language skills when assigned the dual markets of Laredo, Texas and Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. When the Spanish-speaking jugglers and trapeze artists refuse to fulfill media interviews that JudiM scheduled for opening day, JudiM is able to stand in as fake Spanish-speaking circus performers. This story is about forward thinking behavior and crisis management skills. (This topic is well suited for anyone in a management position.)
Career Wanted, Dead or Alive
Performance Tool: Idea Energy
When the hippopotamus died on tour, the circus Sideshow Barker was able to work it into the act in a most creative way in order to finish the season. This story is about resourcefulness in a tough situation. (This is good for any audience.)
Got Net?
Performance Tools: Crisis Avoidance, Idea Energy
“Working without a net is expected for circus performers,” JudiM explains. It ended Tabak’s career when his fall from the high wire motorcycle rendered circus life over for the once sure-footed performer (stake post up the behind). This story focuses on the importance of developing safety net options for career choices while in the midst of your current career. (The audience for this story is both men and women ages 32-49.)
Call the Shots in Your Show
Performance Tool: Crisis Avoidance
The Fat Man in the Sideshow lost weight and subsequently lost his job with the circus. “The Fat Man’s job…was secure as long as he remained extremely fat. But job security isn’t always the best circumstance if security negatively affects us.” This story is about control over personal happiness, even if in conflict with financial security. (It is perfect for an audience of men and women in a mid-life work crisis.)
