Cht Chatting with Marla J. Albertie

Interviewed by: Jill Sheets





J: Tell us about yourself.

M: I call myself the work/life harmonizer. I love to help women harmonize all areas of their life because there is no such thing as work life balance. Work/life harmony and integration is what I coach the nine to five working woman on. If I'm not coaching someone I'm reading and writing. If I'm not reading and writing I'm spending time with my family or on a cruise ship. I love comedy shows and concerts. I'm overall just a fun human being.


J: Tell us about your book, The Ultimate Brag Book About Yourself: A Hundred Questions About How Awesome You Are!

M: My second book, The Ultimate Brag Book was born based on my profession as a life coach. I work with the nine to five working woman helping her to realize her value and create work life harmony not balance. The first step to doing this is to first see their value. One way to see your value is simply by writing down the things you love and enjoy to do, hence the ultimate rag book. Why not brag on yourself? You can come up with SO many ideas of how to start a new business, new career, new hobbies, are just plain loving on yourself.



J: How did you come up with the idea for the book, and why did you decide to write it?

M: As I coach women to see and embrace their value, it bothered me to know that so many women think that they have to be all things to everyone and we don't. What people have to understand is that we are human beings first then a woman then the titles and the roles come afterwards. That is why I wrote this book. I need women, really everyone to see the good in themselves. If they see the good in themselves by simply writing it down, I believe the world can and will change!


J: What would you like people to take away from this book?

M: I want people to walk away from this book smiling knowing that it is OK to brag on themselves by listing all the things that they have and want to have. It is OK to want, it is OK to have desires. It really is OK! We are created to desire and want things. This is how we create our value. If we don't want things how can we give to others? I had to want to write this book in order for others to understand their value.


J: Do you have any advice for the people filling out this book?  What about the ones that are having trouble finding things to write down?

M:


J: Tell us about your book 52 Career Tips: Action Steps to Move you Forward.

M: This is my fist book. This book is another journal that I created based off my experiences from doing hundreds of career coaching sessions and resumes. It was a light bulb that went off when I noticed how many people did not understand the basics of what it takes to have a career. I said I have to do something. And voila this book was born. If you want to understand basic career tips this is the book for you. It's an easy journal to fill out asking you questions each week for you to work on to create the career you desire. I believe our careers are in our hands. So take charge today!





J: What are you currently working on?

M: I am working on my first full leadership book! I am also in the process of launching my publishing company, MJA Publishing, LLC., so stay tuned. 


J: Tell us about TruthSpeaksGroup LLC. 

M: Truth Speaks Group, LLC, (TSG) is a multimedia coaching and training company helping the nine to five working woman create work life harmony/integration (WLH/I) solutions. I have been a coach for over 15 years, in leadership over 20 years, and my business will be 10 years old this year 2023. I offer coaching and consulting packages to small businesses as well. I create, design, and teach workshops based in I/O and positive psychology principles. I LOVE what I do. I can talk about it for days!


J: You like to go on cruises.  What are some of the places you have been to that are your favorites?

M: Anyone who knows me knows that I love to cruise. Costa Maya and Labadee Haiti have been two of my favorite locations. I love to learn about different cultures and how people live. It is a beautiful thing when you get outside of your own bubble to understand the rest of the world.


J: Is there anything else you would like to add? In addition to reading and reviewing my book and loving on yourself. I encourage you to check out my nonprofit called I/O for Teens Inc. I/O stands for Industrial Organizational Psychology (we left the P out intentionally) which is the field I'm getting my PhD in. It is the study of human behavior in the workplace. I/O for Teens Inc. is a career, skill, and confidence building organization that provides the tools needed for teenagers to create their dreams based on the science of human behavior. We are building programs to help teens succeed especially girls. Please check us out 



Book Summary


Can you imagine all the things you like, love, and adore in one book? All your favorites captured at one time with space to write more. So, why did I write this book? How often do we brag about ourselves, take time to think about what makes us happy, or do the things we like? If I had to guess, not as often as you would like. This book has been on my heart for years and I am finally getting it out to the world. 

You deserve to brag about yourself, so why not? Not only is this a bragging book, but it is a book of ideas you can use to start your next project, business, career move, or anything your heart desires. So how does it work? Each topic/list has a “number” to reach because the goal is to get you to stretch your thinking. Need more space? Don’t worry, there are extra lines per number so you can add more and there are extra pages in the back of the book for you to create your own. Ready to start bragging?

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper

Review: The Temple of the Crystal Timekeeper By Jill Sheets Summery came from  http://www.fionaingram.com/ "Continuing the adventure that ended in Britain just a short while ago, cousins Adam and Justin Sinclair, with their friend Kim Maleka, are now hunting for the third Stone of Power, one of seven mysterious stones lost centuries ago. The third stone might be located in an ancient city, hidden in the depths of the Mexican jungle. When their small plane crashes in the jungle, Adam, Justin, Kim, and James are rescued by an uncontacted tribe. James, who is wounded, must stay behind as the kids, with only a young boy, Tukum, as their guide, make their way through the dense and dangerous jungle to find the city. Riding makeshift rafts on a crocodile-infested river and evading predators are just part of this hazardous task. Of course, their old adversary Dr. Khalid is close behind as the kids press on in search of the lost city of stone gods. But he is not the...

 Chit Chatting with Neill McKee Interview by: Jill Sheets J: Tell us about yourself. N: I guess you could call me a world wanderer from Canada. I was never happy staying in one place, beginning in my early years, as I have described in Kid on the Go! Memoir of My Childhood and Youth. I was a mischievous child and a rebel in my youth, but I began to think differently in senior high school with the help of my English teacher and other mentors. I was rather lost in my university days—didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, until I saw a poster to apply to become a volunteer teacher overseas, much like the Peace Corps in the US, but with no compulsion to escape the draft for the Vietnam War. At the end of the memoir, in 1968, I head off to the exotic island of Borneo in Southeast Asia to teach secondary school, an experienced that changed my life. My award-winning memoir, Finding Myself in Borneo: Sojourns in Sabah, tells readers how it all happened—a maturing experience. It also...

"Adriana" Review

 "Adriana" Review Review by: Jill Sheets I was excited to get the book "Adriana," by Leslie Hachtel and I could not wait to start to read it.  It was worth the wait. I loved this book. I was hooked by the second page. "Adriana" is a descriptive book and a fast read. I quickly fell in love with the characters, especially the main ones. It was not hard to root for them.  I like that the chapters were mainly short, especially with someone with a short attention span. If you like romance books, this one would be a good one for you.
