Overview

Vol. II- I Get Serious ...About Communications How, after only playacting my way through college, I used a stint teaching high school journalism to launch a career in the newly emerging field of Organizational Communications was covered in Vol. 1 of this personal memoir. Now we get to the meat of the story: the bologna. A guy secretary? That I had not seen coming. But the job came with a vast Organizational Communications laboratory and a captive audience of 50,000 employees. I was still using what I took from the experience at the end of my career thirty years later. By then, a lot of other people were too. In this volume I'm carried away by corporate winds to a place I'd known earlier only as the evil empire-Southern California, recruited into an industry at the same time that industry was giving 250,000 other people there the heave-ho. Go figure? No. Go communicate. This is where I'd learn that work in the big organizations can get you more than moolah. And also that there are more important skills to a career in communications than writing; what running up to touch a dead horse can get a person; and where, some say, I created my own stage and then performed upon it. For moolah. This is where the second half of my story is going.

Author Information

Don Wilt is a Central Oregon writer retired from the corridors of Corporate Communications. In Vol. I he wrote how his career path began first in the bush leagues of Oregon's rural Willamette Valley. Then, how his first job teaching high school journalism almost phantasmagorically pulled him into a slipstream that led to 30 years at the forefront of a field even he had barely heard of at the time. In this volume we learn that it culminates in a job created just for him at one of the best places in the world to work...and how he got to be so damned funny doing it.Wilt is also the author of Communicating for Productivity: Methods of using Employee Communications to Get the Best Organizational Results. He and his wife Priscilla endure the aggravations of abominably poor rural internet to live in nearly unalloyed contentment in the Cascade Mountains foothills cabin they built 35 years ago, No. 8 The Pines. They have three adult children either famous or almost famous in their respective fields of alternative education, graphic arts and professional skateboarding. Go ahead-Google it.
