Headed To Summit Series Basecamp—Here are memories of the last Summit at Sea

As I get ready to pack up and leave for Summit Series Basecamp I can’t help but to reflect on the last Summit Series at Sea. Probably one of the best gatherings I have ever attended and well worth the time and money. Here’s a great recap. To my Summiteers, see you in Squaw Valley

MLK For Public Relations Professionals—A Must Watch For Those In PR/Media

I like many Americans am taking the day off today for a day of service in Atlanta, GA.
Pretty amazing that I get to share an office in the exact neighborhood that Dr. King lived; Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him since I have to pass his home every time I go in.
If you are working in Public Relations or media I found this video today that is just for you.
I have earmarked this for PR Pros in the instance you have to do media training and/or have a client with a tough interview or speech.
In this interview on the Mike Douglas Show, Dr. King brings a few very simple principles for media. In fact I recommend this as a “must watch” for your clients
1. Be Prepared-Know your stuff.
2. Be Calm. Never be totally swayed by tough questions. Dr. King handles this situation with amazing grace.
3. Persuasion is amazing to watch. You can literally see them both becoming advocates
4. Steer the conversation towards your intended message points
5. Come in Love and Peace

Happy MLK Day.

My Clean (@CleanProgram) Health Decisions in 2011 Set Me Up For A Great 2012

Last year one of the highlights was getting my arms around removing toxins from my body through the use of Dr. Junger’s Clean Program.
I participated in (2) Twenty-one day cleanses and felt AMAZING, had way more energy and though it was not my focus lost about 20lbs. 
Do I eat like this everyday??? NO. In fact truth be told I was the least of the candidates to be doing a cleanse. This made it all the more remarkable.
Clean Program was an amazing experience for me and I feel like I have a solid foundation to start 2012. I know how to “snap” back into clean eating when things slip.
I recommend Clean Program to anyone!

Customer Service Is Why I’m In A Monogamous Relationship With @Delta Airlines

Living in Atlanta has its perks and being centrally located in the Delta Airlines hub is one of them. I fly a ton and 99% of my flights are on Delta Airlines. Honestly, I used to be really bad about frequent flyer programs and Delta became the first consistent relationship I built with an airline. I have to admit “membership has its benefits” and when you fly as much as I do an upgrade, priority bag handling or same day confirm can make a huge difference. I also doubled up and became a member of the Delta Sky Club which on more than a few occassions of being delayed has been a complete lifesaver (see LAX Two summers ago with wife and two kids—Yikes). Last year despite a couple of journeys to Europe I missed achieving diamond status by a short distance. This year, with a new Social People office in LA, clients in London, new business opportunities in Brazil and a visit to Paris for LeWeb I officially made diamond. As someone who helps Fortune 500 companies with developing social media customer service strategies I have to say that Delta does an AMAZING job of listening to consumers thru social media channels. If I send a tweet to @Delta I get very fast responses from @DeltaAssist and they have been amazing in some very tough situations. Delta is not a current client, I’m just a loyal customer and love to tell stories of the brands that do it right. Very classy move on their behalf in recognizing my diamond qualifying flight. As we were landing an attendant came to my seat with a bottle of wine and as we were landing I was congratulated on the PA.

Here’s the Delta red coats waiting for me as I landed tonight from Paris. Getting to diamond means a lot of time away from my wife. Super excited that she happened to be on this flight with me.
