We are the most distracted generation in the history of
the Earth.
How many of you check your phone before you get out of bed?
Tony Schwartz New York Times, 11/28/15
According to one recent survey [by Adobe], the average white-collar worker spends about six hours a day on email. That doesn’t count time online spent shopping, searching or keeping up with social media.
The brain’s craving for novelty, constant stimulation and immediate gratification creates something called a “compulsion loop.” Like lab rats and drug addicts, we need more and more to get the same effect.
Endless access to new information also easily overloads our working memory. When we reach cognitive overload, our ability to transfer learning to long-term memory significantly deteriorates. It’s as if our brain has become a full cup of water and anything more poured into it starts to spill out.

The average consumer?
The average teenage girl?
Disengaged workers?
And Yet…
The Coming Year…
How?
How do you possibly communicate
powerfully in this Age of Rapid Distraction?
Like this?
Or this?
So… how?
Now that the cycle of new is eating itself in a race to ever-faster, there's a bigger chance to make long term change by consistently focusing on what works (and what's important), not what's new and merely shiny.”
-Seth Godin

There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of any art. All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive their beauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shocked by the coarseness of the strings and pulleys.”

About Questions.
Goals & ValuesGOALS AND VALUES
Because of the nearly limitless
distractions, your team MUST be on
the same page.
“What is it, specifically we’re trying to make
happen?”
If asked privately and separately,
would your team give me the same
answer?
Is your team singing the same song,
playing the same score, running the
same play?
Are you sure?

“What’s your 20-year vision?”
“What do you need to do in the next two years to set up that
vision?”

happen?

WHAT IS A BRAND?
YOUR COMPANY
A brand is simply the sum total of all the mental images and feelings - good and bad - a customer has about your
company ... even if that customer hasn’t done business with you yet.
<CLOSE YOUR EYES>
<THINK ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE COMPANY>
<WHAT ABOUT THEM COMES TO MIND?>
<SIGHTS. SOUNDS. SMELLS.>
<TASTES. TOUCHES. MOODS.>
<PEOPLE. RELATIONSHIPS.>
<HOW DO THEY MAKE YOU FEEL?>
We buy what we buy because our choices remind us - and tell the world around us - who we are.
WHOAREYOU?
Building a strong brand is simple, but that
doesn’t mean it’s easy.
WHOAREYOU?
All you have to do is mirror the values you already hold dear ... as do thousands of others in your market… in the words you use to reflect your values.
WHOAREYOU?

Certain percentage of projected revenue.*
How long have you been in business?
How much do you markup your product?

How much do you budget for customer
retention?
MATH OF GOOD CUSTOMERS
What’s the value of a customer/patient over

How much does each lead cost?
How much does it cost to acquire a new
customer/patient?
What’s your conversion rate?
What are you willing to risk with an awesome
guarantee?
How much do you really want to grow?
Are you really willing to pay the price for
that growth?
These questions remind you it’s far easier and
more profitable to keep current patients happy
than to acquire new ones.

2) Make sure they’re market exclusive.

• It’s never been simpler to learn how to use various tools - the various channels - well. There are tutorials everywhere.

RITA PIERSON, TED EDUCATION
APRIL 2013
You were chosen to be in my
class because I am the best
teacher and you are the best
students, they put us all
together so we could show
everybody else how to do it.
And I gave them a saying to say:
"I am somebody. I was
somebody when I came. I'll be a
better somebody when I leave. I
am powerful, and I am strong. I
deserve the education that I get
here. I have things to do, people
to impress, and places to go."
And they said, "Yeah!"
You say it long enough, it starts
to be a part of you.
Teaching and learning should
bring joy. How powerful would
our world be if we had kids
employees who were not afraid
to take risks, who were not
afraid to think, and who had a
champion?
Every child employee deserves
a champion, an adult who will
never give up on them, who
understands the power of
connection, and insists that
they become the best that they
can possibly be.
Is this job tough? You betcha.
Oh God, you betcha. But it is
not impossible. We can do this.
We're educators. We're born to
make a difference.
RITA PIERSON, TED EDUCATION
APRIL 2013
Dr. Rita F. Pierson, the daughter of Hazel and Julius Walker, was born October 27, 1951 in Houston, Texas.
She departed this life on Friday, June 28, 2013.
Most recently she was recognized for sharing her expertise on the PBS production of TED Talks. The ABC television news magazine, 20/20 reported, "Educator Rita F. Pierson talks about the bond that is missing between educators and students". It was viewed and modeled for educators as far away as New Zealand. Over one million online viewers watched the 2013 TED Talks. [It’s now over seven million.]
Rita possessed a keen sense of observation and rare ability to accept and respect people for who they were. She never met a stranger and her infectious humor touched all with whom she came in contact.
“Houston Chronicle July 12, 2013
WHY ARE YOU HERE TODAY?
"I am somebody. I was
somebody when I came. I'll be a
better somebody when I leave. I
am powerful, and I am strong. I
deserve the education that I get
here. I have things to do, people
to impress, and places to go."
And they said, "Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Yeah!"
You say it long
enough, it starts
to be a part of
you.
Oh me! Oh life! of the
questions of these
recurring,
Of the endless trains of
the faithless, of cities
fill’d with the foolish…
What good amid
these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—
that life exists and
identity,
That the powerful play
goes on, and you may
contribute a verse.
WHAT WILL YOUR VERSE BE?
