Review by Ann Bruttell,
"Make Your Bed:
Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World"
by Admiral William McRaven
I have mentioned this book before, but it is a read that I reference often. Admiral William McRaven is an excellent storyteller and turns his life experiences into words of wisdom. I have purchased this book many times over the years to give as gifts to graduating students both male and female. It is a quick read, but lessons you will never forget.

I recently found out that he has a new book published that I am also looking forward to reading next “The Hero Code: Lessons Learned from Lives Well Lived”

I also ran across an interview which I found fascinating with Admiral McRaven interviewed by actor Mark Harmon. Please enjoy at your leisure: Admiral William H. McRaven in conversation with Mark Harmon at Live Talks Los Angeles - Bing video

A Message from the President



"Thankfulness"
Every year as Thanksgiving rolls around, we pay particular attention to acknowledging all the people in our lives that have made us grateful through the years. With COVID over the last 21 months, I think we have become more aware of how precious life is and what really matters. An organization like MSE Detroit has been extremely helpful in keeping our colleagues together – even though we are apart.

In our membership we have two folks that offer coaching assistance with your work and daily life reflection. The periodic emails I receive from both of them I find valuable reading. Perhaps you will too. Please take a moment and connect with these gentlemen:


Dave brings energy to the sales training environment that is contagious. He captures people’s attention – and keeps it! Paying attention and “staying awake” are not issues when Dave is facilitating a training session. He uses “sticky messages” and believes that "if you aren’t laughing you aren’t learning."


As a coach, Barry strongly believes that everyone should have access to coaching. Yet, he knows that this isn’t always easily available or affordable. Barry wrote "The Quotable Coach: Daily Nuggets of Practical Wisdom" to make coaching accessible to everyone. This book is designed to be a simple way to grow each day. It’s not just a book of quotes, like others that you may have come across: with every single quote, Barry includes a short reflection to help you dig deeper, plus a practical exercise to encourage you to turn inspiration into action.

Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather and get in touch with your Marketing and Sales Executives to share your own “words of wisdom." Let us know how we can be of help to you! We have a Programs Committee working on ideas for upcoming events. Share with us ideas on how we can serve you, our members
.
I am so proud and thankful to be in Sales & Marketing Executives of Detroit!
