Guess what day it is? National High Five Day! Yes, it’s real. 🙌 In honor of the only day that celebrates slapping hands together in mid-air, let’s acknowledge the high five. It’s not just for sports wins or sealing questionable decisions; it’s a universal way to say, “Hey, we did a thing,” without the need for pesky words. ✨ So, whether you’re celebrating a small victory or just made it through another Zoom call without falling asleep, give yourself a high five. Or better yet, awkwardly attempt a virtual one that doesn’t quite land. It’s the thought that counts, right? 🤚💥 Let's raise those hands not just for achievements, but because we can. Happy National High Five Day! May your palms be ever ready and your timing impeccable. #NationalHighFiveDay #EZMarketing

Scottie Scheffler is really good at golfing. And as he wakes up to see another green jacket hanging in his closet, Caitlin Clark wakes up for the last time not being the #1 pick in the WNBA draft. And we have all woken up to the opportunity to recognize a Nice Guy or Gal. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EST on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/e8JX9YcC   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

Scouting is about people and more specifically developing young people to become the kind of people we want in our neighborhoods, companies, and leadership positions. When you hear Alex’s story, you can understand how powerful Scouting can be. The impact expands far beyond the Troop!

🎾 How to communicate desire? The inspiring story of "Challengers" 🔥 If, like me, you went to see Luca Guadagnino's "Challengers," you were probably completely drawn into this film. When we talk about #communication, we also talk about desire: yours, that of your #clients, and the desire you want to evoke in your clients on an emotional level. 🔥 It is in this spirit that the idea for the film "Challengers" was born. When screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes watched the 2018 US Open, a match between Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka, he witnessed the warning given to Serena Williams for "coaching." The referee suspected her of signaling to her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou (which he later admitted, although he claimed his player "had not seen him"). This situation inspired Justin Kuritzkes. He found the idea very cinematic: wanting to communicate with the only person who matters in the audience without being able to speak. This led him to ask himself: "What could I write that could be as captivating as a tennis match? What could make watching a tennis match even more exciting?" The answer was clear: it could only work if one truly understood what was emotionally at stake for all involved. Lucas Guadagnino was drawn to this script, stating: "I know nothing about tennis, but I understand a lot about desire." 😎 It's all about desire. How do you communicate it to your clients? As a freelance in #communication, I am here to support you in this process! Feel free to contact me to discuss and explore together the best strategies to evoke desire in your audience! 📩 #communication #desire #sport #strategy #victory https://lnkd.in/etMm_khj For fun, watch this clip! Have a great start to the week.

There is a place where God sits on you, prunes, humbles, teaches, and prepares you before he sends you out. If a man is succeeding without a story or an history, please don't let him advise you. An expert is made both in the place of successes and failures. A combination of both is what makes him. A Subject Matter Expert, SME

Last week at a luncheon, a few old mates (Denis Pagan, Dr Harry Unglik & Wayne Carey) of the North Melbourne FC 1996 Premiership Team gathered to celebrate Corey McKernan’s 50th birthday. The occasion turned into a journey through time, revisiting football victories, pivotal moments, fun times, resilience and the development of life principles forged over the past 25 years. Conversations shifted to nostalgic reflections as memories flowed, victories were recounted and the challenging times that have been life shaping. The parallels between past sporting principles and present-day realities became evident. The key messages that resonated were the importance of principles like accountability, discipline, hard work, belonging and the need for a vision. All proving to be pivotal for their success at the time. The notion of vision emerged as a significant aspect of this success and a driving force in sport, business and life. The celebration transformed into a living testament to the enduring nature of these principles, living philosophies which shaped their journeys. Corey's 50th became a tribute to the wisdom that binds them, a celebration of timeless lessons learned on the field and translating into life. #highperformance #teamsuccess #teamculture
