Journalist to write her next book on personal and
professional integrity: what she experienced and observed
as a 65+, single female client and patient.
[Sun City Center,
Florida] Andrea Reynolds, a former Toronto public relations
consultant, business deportment expert, author, national
media guest, speaker, and investigative journalist, is
disturbed by the callous way she is treated by multiple
tradesmen and degreed professionals: realtors, dentists,
lawyers, contractors, veterinarians, and
physicians. The HALO
Factor: Personal
and Professional
Integrity is her forthcoming
book, written as case studies, which she’ll promote through
North American appearances.
Heroes do the right thing. If they slip up… they make it
right!
“They assumed I was an uneducated, ignorant, older female,
and they misread my kindness as weakness to exploit. I
advised all of them in advance I would be writing about
them, yet it seemed not to matter. Conversations with other
women taught me I’m not alone. So I observed, took notes,
took photos, and kept documents.”
In fact, multi-national corporations like Coca Cola,
Campbell Soup, and Magna International, etc., have retained
Reynolds for her sage business advice. But in 2008, she
gave up her home and businesses in Canada to return to the
US on a mission of mercy and kindness.
She explains, “I returned to Pennsylvania to assist my
father who had dementia and bone cancer. I depleted my
savings as I acted as executor for both parents, and then
renovated an abandoned and blighted house on my street. I
invested in Erie residents, hiring jobless vets, ex-cons,
and single parents; and bought unneeded items from young
people who needed cash to pay bills. Then multiple
professionals overcharged me significant sums while
providing little or very poor work. Not one to remain
silent, I realized my experiences are the perfect material
for a business how-to book. To quote author Ann
Lamott, ‘If
people wanted me to write more warmly about them, they
should have behaved better.’”
Reynolds continues, “My mission is to inspire service
businesses and professionals to be heroes to
their clients and patients, not villains.
I want to see them improve their business practices, not
only to seniors. My intent is not to shame or castigate
them. If nobody taught them how to strive for excellence,
then I will.”
Reynolds welcomes back payment plus interest from
individuals, companies, and professionals who deliberately
overcharged her for inferior work, work left unfinished, or
work never done. The book’s heroes will be the ones who
make it right. Mail payment to: Andrea
