They feel  lost.  My simple advice? Listen to the band R.E.M.: “Stand in the Place Where You Work.”   Let me explain.  (We will assume that the interview is via telephone; not one in [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://tommcfeeley.com/item/714' addthis:title='Media training from R.E.M.: Stand In The Place Where You Work ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

They ask questions that will yield only a fraction of the truth, or a certain angle of truth. The slice of truth that helps their client, [...]<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" addthis:url='http://tommcfeeley.com/item/544' addthis:title='James Ray Trial Blog: Not Prepared to Be Scared ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
