About Office Hours with The Practical Prof®... and Friends!

We are excited to announce that our podcast is getting a make-over. You have been so supportive of our original podcast since 2019. We want to keep you engaged as we grow our audience with this new podcast called “Lessons with The Practical Prof®”. Marabella's work as The Practical Prof® has been built on his life as a teacher who chose to focus on business, the people side of business; often, the more controversial or less-discussed challenges. That will continue but we’re expanding beyond the workplace to include home and community. Because now more than ever, we need to be our best selves – full of integrity, empathy, kindness – for ourselves and for each other! "Lessons" is a forum for becoming our best selves at home, work and in the community featuring your stories, experiences and interviews. Join us - there's always a lesson to learn and a lesson to share! Host Bio Dr. Santo D. Marabella is an author, playwright and screenwriter, trainer and teacher who is passionate about sharing his experiences and insights. Marabella, professor emeritus of management at Moravian University, holds a bachelor's degree in business administration (Villanova University) an MBA (St. Joseph's University) and a DSW - doctor of social work (University of Pennsylvania). His professional memberships include the Academy of Management, the National Association of Social Workers, the Dramatists Guild of America, The Lambs®. His newspaper column, "Office Hours" has been featured in the Reading Eagle and five other MediaNews Group publications in the Greater Philadelphia region since 2012. His latest project, Il Mio Posto a Tavola (My Place at the Table), is a documentary film about his adoption from Italy, during the Baby Scoop Era, when un-wed mothers were forced or coerced into giving up their babies. The film, directed by Tracy Schott, is currently seeking distribution. "Manage with a Heart, in ways that feed the Spirit!" - Santo D. Marabella
