History of Baseball Affecting Lives Today

 

Did you know that Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson struck out 2,600 times in his baseball career? 

That's the most in the history of baseball!




WE DON'T REMEMBER the strike outs because Jackson never gave up, and he was always a valuable leader on the team.


WE DO REMEMBER, however, all the (563) homeruns as Denzel Washington describes in this talk to University of Pennsylvania grads. For 14 seasons, Jackson was named an American League All Star. He also achieved the Most Valuable Player Award after knocking out of the park 3 home runs to clinch his most recent World Series Win. Jackson even earned a Babe Ruth Award.

THE POINT: Some people give up. But others never will! And those who never give up will achieve Big Victories in life.

SO, NEVER GIVE UP! THE WINS ARE WORTH THE REWARDS :-)

Team Building Sports and Activities: Whitewater Rafting

Image
   Have you ever been Whitewater Rafting with a trusted team? Video fun: Or is there another daring, team-building exercise you’ve participated in? I’m curious as I reflect on fond memories of Whitewater Rafting down the Colorado River under the Royal Gorge with a remarkable Marketing team several years ago. It was exhilarating and a real reminder to me about the power of teamwork… Half-way through our adventure, we hit a massive wave and an extreme rush of water. Needless to say, I almost went overboard. If a team member hadn’t lunged forward and grabbed my foot, I would have been flung out of the raft. I remember this moment clearly as it made me keenly aware of the importance of sticking together-- even amid the rapids—with all eyes on board, guiding the team in the right direction…toward the goal. Here’s to you, your teams, and missions...for the WIN! hashtag # BrandMarketing hashtag # MarketingStrategy hashtag # SocialMedia hashtag # GodsPlan https://www.link...

Are You Ready for Some Football

  "Are you ready for some football?" The inquiry alone gets one fired up for the game no matter your level of interest. Same goes for marketing strategy.... Brand marketing plans are similar to football playbooks. The similarity lies in: ***Being nimble, using the latest greatest techniques, and engaging fans and audiences with winning ways. ***Instead of mapping out plays for football, your marketing playbook outlines strategic digital efforts and tactics scoring impressive business results. ***Like football, your marketing efforts should be active, engaging, and fun to watch them play out for the WIN. If you need support, please let me know how I can help or connect you with the right team. hashtag # DigitalMarketing hashtag # Football hashtag # BrandMarketing

I am the eldest surviving child, and, have two younger sisters and one brother. We lived with my parents, and grandparents in a three-bedroom home in suburban Brisbane. Whilst we did not have very much money, we still had enough, and we made our own fun. I remember putting on concerts with the neighbour’s children for our parents. We would sing, dance, and tell jokes, and then we would have supper togethe...
