This Is a Job for Sharon Good

imageWorld Superhero-registered crime fighter Master Legend (pictured and subject of a recent Rolling Stone profile) is “not an eccentric billionaire moonlighting as a crime fighter. He is, as he puts it, just a man hellbent on battling evil.” If you’re a seven-year-old boy, he has some career advice to impart to you: “Anyone can have this power… All you need to do is tie a towel around your neck and put a sock over your head and run out the door.”

imageHowever, when that seven-year-old grows up, he’ll realize that he looks lousy in tights, cape, and a mask, and will unfortunately settle for a regular job. While villain-fighting isn’t likely to be a career option, life coach Sharon Good does want you to be happy in your job. She passionately believes that “no dream is right or wrong, too big or too small.” She adds, “One of my passions is to encourage and support others to follow their desires and dreams despite the discouraging messages they’ve received.” On January 12, Good will be at the Y to encourage you to fight for your perfect job.

But if you’re still determined to fight the “good” fight, stick around for Marc Tyler Nobleman, author of the first-ever illustrated biography on the superhero genre and the rise of comic books, who comes to the Y on the following night to talk about how Superman thundered into existence in 1934 as the product of two Jewish teens creating a character who was everything they were not.
