In this episode, Ladey Adey is joined by author Carol Harris.

Carol lives in mid-Wales with her husband, she has been writing since she was a young child, has published and edited several magazines, house journals, and had books published for over 25 years.

Carol has been self-employed since 1986 and runs various businesses, with her main business helping people generate a second income, part-time, from home, with a global health company. Carol coaches and mentors them in personal and business skills with much work based on NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming).

NLP has been woven through Carol's life for some time, she used to Chair the Association for Neuro-Linguistic Programming and edit their magazine Rapport. Carol also does voluntary work in educational establishments and runs a monthly NLP group for retired people.

We hear about a few of Carol's books including Words Speak for Themselves – about writing and language. Lessons from the Speechless (about business), Chats with Comestibles (about personal effectiveness).

All books are humorous and are pure dialogue; as Carol says, they are "discussions between me and inanimate objects – and the ‘Chat’s book is all about food and has ‘recipes’"

Tips: Reading – do as much as you can and, if you don’t have much time, do what I do, which is keep books in the loo and read each time you’re there – it adds up!

Writing – only do it if you enjoy it – otherwise, get someone else to do it for you.
