Let's discuss competitive
tenacity and the discipline required to achieve success in the professional
world. A study by Harvard Business School found that 37% of employers consider
experience the most important qualification for a job applicant, rather than
educational attainment. Sports broadcasting is undergoing significant changes
due to new technologies and streaming media services which allow for on-demand
viewing. According to Indeed, sports broadcasting is a highly competitive
field, making it more challenging to secure a position than in other sports or
general broadcasting fields. Therefore, it's important to obtain a relevant
degree, intern, and study the field to make an impression on a network when
applying for positions. If you're serious about breaking into the industry,
it's highly recommended to invest in media training and consulting. This is
where my friend Carol Mayer Voronyak comes in; she's a Broadcast Media Coach
and Consultant. "Do you need a trusted counselor to help you navigate and
thrive in the competitive world of broadcast media? As a former 17-year ESPN
executive turned consultant, I specialize in guiding current and aspiring
talent for career advancement." If you're ready to take your on-air career
to the next level, connect with Carol today. You can reach her via email at

In business, if you are in a
leadership position, your most valuable asset that contributes to success is
your people. The sooner you acknowledge this fact and allow them to celebrate
their achievements as a team, the sooner you will experience prosperity.

As a leader, it is essential
that you take charge of the celebration. A differentiation strategy is an
approach that businesses adopt by offering customers something unique,
different, and distinct from what their competitors provide in the market.

Barry LaBov, a two-time
Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year, is a renowned author, speaker, and
brand strategist. With an emphasis on differentiation, Barry advocates for
leaders to discover and promote their brand's distinctiveness to capture market
share and win the hearts of their people. His book, "The Power of
Differentiation.

Win Hearts, Minds and Market
Share," which is distributed by Simon and Schuster, embodies this
philosophy.

 

As the founder of LABOV, a
top marketing training company that serves blue-chip clients, Barry is
well-known for his infectious energy, creativity, and inspiring message. To

According to the
National Education Association, 94%
of educators feel that their school districts are not providing all the
necessary resources for student engagement, comfort, and readiness to learn. With his 15 years of teaching experience
and a background in mental health and human resources, this is where Mills
Rodgers steps in. He is dedicated to empowering educators and leaders to
create equitable and inclusive learning and working environments. As a
consultant, speaker, and author at Rodgers Speaks, he delivers engaging and
impactful presentations and workshops on topics such as championing and
supporting all students, developing a growth mindset, and building
relationships with parents and stakeholders, thereby making a significant
impact on the education system.

 

Rodgers
also provides coaching and guidance on personal branding, character, and
leadership to individuals and organizations that want to achieve their personal
and professional goals. He draws from his own experiences as an educator, a
veteran, and a lifelong learner, as well as his certifications in
principalship, generalist, and special education. He authored the book series
"Success Is A Process, Not An Event," which shares insights and tips
on education, character, and personal development. Prior to his current
profession, Rodgers held several positions in various schools, such as special
education teacher, general education science teacher, science instructional
coach, academic instructional coach, administrative intern, and substitute
assistant principal.

 

During
his time in the US Army, Rodgers served as a mental health NCO, a role that is
equivalent to a civilian counselor. As a parent to his oldest daughter, who has
moderate to severe autism, he has firsthand experience of the unique challenges
faced by families with special needs children. Rodgers believes that these
challenges are often overlooked by educators and the public, which is why he is
passionate about creating awareness and sharing his insights. His work is
focused on addressing these overlooked challenges and advocating for a more
inclusive and understanding education system.
