"Why It Was a Good Thing I Got Fired"

Steve Oshin & Steve Reynolds

Positive Things Do Happen When "One Door Closes."

That's the topic of the upcoming ALL ACCESS AUDIO SUMMIT session "Why It Was Good To Get Let Go," hosted by top ten talent coach STEVE REYNOLDS from THE REYNOLDS GROUP along former radio GM, now-Life Coach STEVEN OSHIN.

Life becomes different - sometimes what mattered then, no longer is as important now. We'd like to know what good actually came from losing your job.

Why do some people get released from a job struggle to find work, while others land quickly and ultimately grow from their experience? What happened during your unemployment that helped you create a fresh future?

What did you learn about yourself and life that makes you an even better person? What new experiences did you have that make you an even greater talent? We want to elevate your story and offer exposure to decision makers during the ALL ACCESS AUDIO SUMMIT, APRIL 21 & 22.

If you are out of work, or fearful of the next RIF, we'll inspire and motivate you to see times like these as potentially transformative, allowing yourself to turn corners of growth you can't conceive exists.

Share your story and email it to Top Ten Talent Coach/ THE REYNOLDS GROUP's STEVE REYNOLDS steve@reynoldsgroupradio.com

Radio in the Top 50 markets lives and breathes by NIELSEN RADIO PPM scores. Those markets 51+ are still using Diary methodology. Does the current PPM device help or hurt programming? Many say it's out of step with radio's current needs. Is NIELSEN accurately capturing what's happening and we just don't like the results? Or, does NIELSEN need to update its technology to better sample radio users in all the ways that currently and in the future, more accurately measure radio listening and consumption in all of its forms?
