I received another call from a reporter/ producer today. She was eager, positive and enthusiastic and began the conversation by telling me how much her network/show could bring needed national attention to our situation. As I took her name, office number and some information on her credentials. I thought to myself she sounds to young, to be associated with the T.V. show, she said, she was representing, so I asked her "how old are you" she paused and said "I'm 27, that shouldn't be a problem, will it? You will do the show?" I said " Let me check on your credentials, give me a couple days, I will be in touch, thank you" and hung up, I was in the middle of a meeting with a client and not really in a position to talk and felt the need to get back to what I was doing. However, as I turned my attention back to my client, my mind began to wander. I had lost my ability to concentrate on his needs, or even on what we had been discussing, I excused myself...
