The Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment
Well, I just got off the phone with the owner of one of the nation's leading speakers bureaus and she asked me this question, "If someone were to ask you what you speak about what would you say?" I said, "Well I am probably the shortest tenured shortstop in the history of professional baseball." "I played in one game, one at bat, one double, one stolen base, one run scored and the next day I was sent packing!" Her laughter told us both we were right on target. In today's world everyone needs encouragement ... to NEVER quit on themselves. When I asked my wife what should be on this page she immediately said, "EVERYTHING!" "Everything?" I asked. "Yes, people need to know what you have done in sports, aviation, television, stage and business. Somewhere in one of those careers is the nugget a meeting planner is looking for!" Her beautiful blue eyes lit up with another thought, "Oh, and they will love you because you are transparent and real - they will identify with your victories AND feel the pain the times you failed." 1.
