The Circuit: Things To Be Thankful For

LEADING AUTHORITIES' ROUND UP OF THOUGHT LEADERSHIP, TRENDS, AND PERSONALITIES ON THE CIRCUIT

Happy Pre-Thanksgiving! This is the last edition of The Circuit until after Turkey Day. I’m personally so thankful for all of our subscribers and readers. As my team and I have been prepping for parties and get-togethers, we truly have a lot to be thankful for—including the opportunity to work in such an interesting and fun business with smart and talented colleagues and clients!

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, here are four things we are thankful for in collaboration with our speakers.

Best to you and your family over the holiday.

THANKFUL FOR COURAGE

Over Veterans Day, Fox News aired “Modern Warriors” profiling 4 military heroes. Featured in the program was Medal of Honor recipient, Dakota Meyer, who joined the conversation to trade stories of combat and brotherhood and express why he made the decision to serve.

THANKFUL FOR GREAT ADVICE

As legendary former director of communications for Harley-Davidson Ken Schmidt always says, “What do you want people to say about you? And how do you get them to say it?” In his brand new book, Make Some Noise, Ken shares his adventures working with the team at Harley to turnaround the struggling brand. Expanding on his principle of “Brain = Pain,” Schmidt explains why many companies are struggling to connect in an emotional way with their consumers and how that kind of noise is the most valuable.
