Incubating Ideas: July 2006

http://incubatingideas.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html

Wednesday, July 19, 2006. July 2006 - Pocket of Greatness. Can a speech writer be a "pocket of greatness"? The term comes from Jim Collins' best seller Good to Great. Several clients have quoted, handed me copies, done presentations about, and otherwise been completely swept away by Collins' recently published monograph applying the good to great (g2g) principles to the social sector. With some good reason as Collins puts into simplistic terms the elements necessary to propel an organization forward.

Incubating Ideas: November 2007

Thursday, November 08, 2007. From today's New York Times:. And the day offered a perfect opportunity for the campaign, with a potentially embarrassing mini-scandal: a waitress’s report that Mrs. Clinton had failed to tip after eating at a Maid-Rite diner in central. An assertion that ricocheted around the Internet on Thursday. Reached at her home in. The waitress, Anita Esterday, said that neither she nor a colleague who helped serve Mrs. Clinton recalled seeing any tip. This is not a commentary about the.

Incubating Ideas: June 2007

Sunday, June 03, 2007. A Little More Human. DC Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) said the speech shocked him because he was expecting Lanier to talk about police policy or something relating to her position as chief. I was waiting for her to swing to the PowerPoint," Graham said. "To have the police chief in the nation's capital be so personal, so human, so revealed is startling. We were amazed. I left feeling a little more human myself.". What a great comment! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Veterans of ...

Incubating Ideas: Summer

http://incubatingideas.blogspot.com/2009/07/summer.html

Wednesday, July 15, 2009. While every summer brings different adventures, one priority that does not change is to squeeze in several books, including a few I've read many times before. At the top of that pile can be found Betty Smith's classic, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. In a novel of rich language, there's one particular favorite:. Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.". Washington, DC, United States. Veterans...

Incubating Ideas: Holiday Message

http://incubatingideas.blogspot.com/2007/12/holiday-message.html

Monday, December 17, 2007. Every December, despite its reflection of an era with a much different definition of “equality,” I watch the 1954 movie “White Christmas” with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye (music by Irving Berlin). In a nutshell, the boys put on a Christmas show bringing their old Army unit to. To surprise their former commanding officer (now a struggling innkeeper – played by Dean Jagger). The look on Major General Tom Waverly’s face when he sees the men from the 151. View my complete profile.

Incubating Ideas: October 2006

Thursday, October 19, 2006. As Seen in PR WEEK "Toolbox". How important is it to get an executive to practice his or her remarks. It's extremely important - without practice, critical messaging can transmogrify into a captious mess," says Ady Dewey, a freelance speech writer. "Providing a script or talking points as part of a PR package should also include a practice session - ideally a full dress rehearsal, including Q&A if that's part of the program.

Incubating Ideas: August 2007

http://incubatingideas.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 03, 2007. Why You Need a Speech Writer. I’ve been on a few interviews this summer – some networking, some for prospective clients. Three especially stand out. While each person I met with was in a very different position (a federal agency Under Secretary, a U.S. Senator, a university dean), none of them currently use a speech writer. That, gentlemen, is why you need a speech writer. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Washington, DC, United States. View my complete profile. Venues Where Clients' S...
