Interview with Yael Schy

Mark — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 05:00:43 +0000

Simply put, collaboration can make good things great. Now, more than ever, individuals and organizations have embraced the concept of we are smarter than me, internally and in partnerships with their competitors in something that’s been dubbed coopertition. It all hinges on teamwork.

On this edition of Just One More Book!!, Mark speaks with Yael Schy, trainer, coach, organizational consultant and co-author of the picture book Where in the Wild?, about collaborating with her husband David Schwartz and photographer Dwight Kuhn to create an award winning book, and the potential for a children’s book about teamwork and collaboration.

Interview with David Schwartz

Mark — Mon, 26 May 2008 05:00:18 +0000

We generally expect children’s books to educate and entertain children. It’s a special book that inspires a child to experiment and explore the world around them. It takes an author that conducted experiments during their own childhood, experiments like measuring the length of a frog and the distance of its hop to figure out how far a human with frog legs could hop. It takes an author that’s willing to count and pop one hundred thousand kernels of popcorn to demonstrate big numbers.

Our guest on this edition of Just One More Book!! is David Schwartz, author of fifty books including How Much is a Million — which inspired our two daughters to count to five hundred during a walk prior to this interview — and Cybils non-fiction finalist Where in the Wild.

Books mentioned:

How Much is a Million?
Where in the Wild?
Super Grandpa
