Tele-Interview Description:

At the first CCA telsession, participants asked Could you put us in touch with counselors who have become susccessful entrepreneurs? We want to hear from them directly. In response, Dr. Sally Gelardin lined up for CCA leading counselor-entrepreneurs who have built successful businesses, such as Dr. Robert Chope, Richard Knowdell, Dr. Edward Colozzi, Carolyn Kalil, Donna Christner-Lile, Daniel H. Pink, Martha Russell and more! In a series of tele-interviews conducted by Dr. Sal these entrepreneurial counselors will discuss how they started and built their businesses and respond to your questions.

June Tele-Interview Focus . . ."Home-based Businesses for Counselors and Clients."

Counselors who are starting or growing a private practice, or who advise entrepreneurial clients, may choose to consider operating a home-based business. I am thrilled to interview Sue Aiken and Eugene Muscat together on the dynamics of operating a home-based business. For years, I've been encouraging Sue to talk and write about her co-housing living situation that she helped start when she retired from directing the JFK University career counseling program. I have also encouraged Eugene Muscat to talk and write about Enterprise Housing, a live/work project he developed in conjunction with the University of San Francisco and Asian Neighborhood Design (AND). Discover why Sue and Eugene have chosen to focus on these two environments and learn how you might determine what environment is best for you (and your client) in the exercise that Sue designed.

Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions during the interview. To help gauge how much time to reserve for participant questions and to make sure your questions is addressed, please send question(s) before the tele-interview to Sally@AskDrSal.com.
