Stopped literally in her tracks, Jill was not only physically immobilized; she began to sink into a state of depression, something completely unfamiliar to her. Her business began to suffer because she couldn't keep appointments or show up for scheduled appearances. In her personal life, simple tasks were no longer simple and in some cases impossible. Jill had reached ground zero. Denied her previous model of dynamism and success, she turned her vision inward.

As Jill asked herself the questions, "Who am I now?" and "What am I willing to do?" she realized that her work in the world was to help people create their own dreams by listening to the joy of their inner calling — especially when they, too, have been stopped in their tracks. This is where the vision for Messages of Hope From Around the World was born.

Jill says, "I feel that so much is happening in our work that people need hope. I was inspired to help others feel more optimism in their lives by creating this television program."

Some of the topics Jill will deal with on the show are obsessive compulsive disorder, grief, violence, and cultural differences.

Praised as a modern-day Dale Carnegie for how to be influential, Jill Lublin authored the bestselling book Get Noticed... Get Referrals: Build Your Client Base and Your Business by Making a Name for Yourself (McGraw-Hill, June 2008). She is also the coauthor of two other national bestselling books, Networking Magic which rose to #1 on the Barnes and Noble charts for three weeks, and Guerrilla Publicity, the PR bible. Jill is the founder of GoodNews Media, Inc. and hosts the TV program, Messages of Hope, and the nationally syndicated radio show, Do the Dream. In addition she has created two audio programs, three DVD training videos, and a workbook.

Jill is a popular international speaker who teaches powerful publicity, networking, and how to be influential techniques. As the CEO of the strategic consulting firm, Promising Promotion, Jill has trained companies in innovative techniques to improve bottom line results. In the past twenty years, she has worked with ABC, NBC, CBS, and other national media, and knows what the media wants.

Jill has been featured in The New York Times, Women's Day, Fortune Small Business, Inc, and Entrepreneur Magazine, and on ABC and NBC radio and TV national affiliates.
