Publisher’s Note
Things have Changed... Just in case you haven’t noticed. This virus has caused more disruption (not the good kind) to our industry than anything else in history. But we will make the best we can of it, as we always have. I want to encourage you to work within our industry and to find a way to get through these times. Here are a few suggestions for work-around points: 1. Keep your scheduled time as an Online Meeting. a. This is when we are accustomed to seeing specific people, and if your like me, meeting time was just a time to get together to visit. b. We need to remember that there are other people out there in the same situation as we are in. c. (The free Zoom plan allows 100 people in your meeting for 40 minutes.)
2. Expand your speaker program. a. Right now you can get national speakers, who are also planning ahead. b. Since distance is no longer an issue, we can all be anywhere at any time. 3. Try out new formats. a. Find new people for your group. b. We all remember the 30-second pitches that we hear every week. Focus on getting the new person involved. c. Build relationships. d. If the meeting is going to be one way, then use Facebook on-line. The point is that this can be a time of change, instead of a time of imprisonment. Please reach out to me if you want to suggest something, anything. We are always listening.

Keynote Speaker, Producer 29-Time Emmy Award Winner
Connecting the Dots: From Award-Winning Comedy Writer to Elite Speaker By: Tamara A. McCullough With hundreds, sometimes thousands, of eyes fixed on his every movement, the stage is set for 29-time Emmy award-winning keynote speaker Bill Stainton to strike maximum impact with his speech. Though he has more than 20 years of experience in this realm, he can never quite predict how the audience will respond. Relying on his comedic writer background, Stainton often opens with humor to connect with and entertain the audience. This breaks the ice and sets the tone for a keynote address, the pivotal speech that sets the tone for an entire conference. No matter how many times he does it, the importance isn’t lost on Stainton.
“You still get butterflies before you go up. It’s still that ‘here we go…it’s showtime!’ feeling. It’s not because you don’t think you can do the job. It’s just that it’s a big responsibility. So, yes, I sometimes do get a bit nervous, although I think ‘excited’ is more accurate. It’s the same feeling I had back in my TV days before each show.” Roots in Comedy Writing
“I thought it would last 3 years, maybe 5 years. I finally got comfortable and bought a brand-new home and then the show was canceled.” It was at this junction in his life that Stainton knew it was time for a career change. Taking Stock of Strengths
Once “Almost Live!” ended, Stainton knew he needed something else, but the problem was Before Stainton ever hit the stage as a leadership that he didn’t know what. “I didn’t value my and strategic creativity speaker, he was a com- strengths,” Stainton admitted. “I was a comedy edy writer where he saw much success.

What are the skills behind Stainton could never imagine that the show the skills?” would last as long as it did or earn the awards bestowed upon it. This insight and self-awareness eventually led
to Stainton hitting the stage as a speaker, bringing his breadth of knowledge and experience to audiences worldwide. Stainton carved out his niche as a motivator and an educator as opposed to a motivational speaker. Connecting the Dots

R. Shawn McBride Attorney, CPA Business Speaker
Where the Market is Headed & Changing Forces
What do you have to do to be successful? How do you need to dress? How is it supposed to be done? These questions have at least one thing in common – programming. The “musts” we are given on how to do things are an indication of how we have been doing things, but are they the way we should be doing things to continue to be successful in the future? When businesses and individuals follow these pre-programmed ways, they may be at risk of losing their competitive edge. IF that is the case, what actions can lead to continuous improvement as a business, meeting planner, association, or speaking professional? What makes you unique in the marketplace, and what will allow you to keep doing business on your terms? According to R. Shawn McBride, the way everyone else is doing it is probably not the most future-ready way. This advice comes from a grown man in a polka dot suit who calls himself names that begin with “The”: “The Our Shawn,” “The Planning Done Right Guy ™”, and “The Future Done Right™ Guy.” Licensed to practice law in 13 states and D.C., an experienced CPA, speaker, trainer, and consultant with over 17 years of business experience, Shawn is masterful at helping business owners foresee problems before they happen and structure solutions to head these issues off at the pass. With an accounting degree, Shawn went to law school and became a corporate lawyer. He played the game and found big firms groom you to be the black and white thing – buttoned up and standardized. He says, “That’s where things started to break apart. I was a different guy. After I left my corporate position, it
took seven years to get my creativity back.” His signature unusual suits open the conversation of how we should “Do Business Differently™.” His Web site says, “The Our Shawn makes the complicated world of the future of business simple…with humor mixed in to make it fun.” So what is up with that phrase, “The Our Shawn”? Well, when he set out to make a name for himself as a speaker, there was already a Shawn McBride. So he tacked on the initial of his first name to become R. Shawn McBride. This evolved into his clients beginning to call him the “Our Shawn McBride.”
has.” He also cautions organizations not to stifle creativity. “Law firms’ way of doing business historically involved waiting for people to have a problem, helping them fix it, and collecting money from the back end. But proactive money,” he says, “is smarter money.”
The foundation of Shawn’s business persona is Planning Done Right where his experience looking at thousands of business plans has given him the ability to consult on the Future of Business. “It is necessary but hard to differentiate yourself. Break the mold. Question the ‘have to’ programs.” Your focus should not be on doing what everyone else is doing. Instead, he suggests, “Embrace your uniqueness; people come to you “Look to the future – to where the markets are for that.” The process of marketing his own law going to be two to three years from now. That is firm got him into the creative quest for a unique where you will find your success.” proposition. He had to learn to differentiate his It is always fascinating to find out the “why” that firm from others. “Quite simply everyone needs motivates a dynamic person like R. Shawn Mcto know ‘why you’.

Shawn’s reason for being such a prolific speaker, “You have to figure out what uniqueness - what writer, and activist. combination of skills - you have that no one else
Shawn’s TedX talk, The Advantages of Women in Business Partnerships, showcases his cutting-edge approach to business and life. He is often one of the first thought leaders to start important conversations on topics like Coronavirus, programmer liability, “Me too,” going virtual, and the fact that technology is replacing humans in many niche areas. Saying, “The world is changing. I think most people can agree that change is happening faster and faster.” He insists that “Having a good knowledge of where the market is headed and changing forces is key to planning” which is his core topic.
ders to tell some of the stories. This showed him that in the marketplace, a lot of people weren’t getting the right information. “I needed a way to get more people in the know about the fundamental business planning issues I talk about, such as Do Business Differently™,” he said. So like any successful business consultant, Shawn turned to speaking as a way to get important information to more people.
“My speaking and my services go hand-inhand,” Shawn observes. “As I learn more about organizations through consulting, it helps me tailor my speeches to real life situations.

Sarah Rose Summers Miss USA 2018
More than a Crown, Podcast
Being More Than By: Tamara A. McCullough “More than a Crown” is more than just a title, and it’s more than just the description of a lifestyle podcast. It’s actually a way of life that podcaster Sarah Rose Summers subscribes to and wants to instill in her guests and audience one podcast at a time. Though she has worn that aforementioned crown as a pageant participant since childhood and as Miss USA 2018, Summers proves she’s more than that characterization and uses her show as a platform to help others discover what they’re more than. “We are all more than our lowest low or highest high. What are you more than?” Summers explains. Podcast for All Summers launched her inaugural podcast in May 2019 after a new Miss USA was crowned as a way to continue to utilize her strong platform. Though its title might suggest that the show is a pageant podcast, it’s anything but as a wide-ranging podcast that touches on topics like health, wellness, relationships, coping with stress and more. “More than a Crown” focuses on Summers “sharing tips and tricks she uses to help maintain a healthy work/life balance despite having work in the palm of her hand 24/7.” As a woman who wears many hats, Summers is no stranger to hard work. While attending Texas Christian University, she obtained two separate degrees, a BS in Child Development and a BS in Strategic Communication, in four years while working two jobs. On her podcast site, Summers describes the show as “A place for commuters, gym goers, and busy-bees to learn, be encouraged, and feel understood alongside believer, child advocate, ice cream lover, and former Miss USA.” With such a broad show, Summers explains her approach to how she keeps each show natural and engaging. “I don’t do a ton of editing. I like to make it as natural as possible.” The podcast is also a way for Summers to give back to others who have given her so much since
she doesn’t typically interview strangers but prefers her guests to be people that she knows. These people have been influential in her life, have served as mentors and helped Summers along her journey. Master Planner While many podcasters struggle on coming up with ideas, content and guests from showto-show, Summers is the exception as a master planner, which has added to her success as a podcaster. “Before I launched, I came up with 50 episodes about things like time management, life hacks and wedding planning.”
One thing Summers didn’t plan on was how much people would be into relationship-style topics. As a newlywed, Summers often likes to involve her husband, Conner Combs, and was surprised by her audience’s reaction when he joins the podcast. “Sometimes people just like to listen to us chat.” Voice for Empowerment and Encouragement As Miss USA, Summers used her voice while traveling the country and world as a spokeswoman for various brands and charities, including Alfa Romeo and Smile Train. She continues to use her voice through her podcast and encourages others to speak their own truth as well.
Like an open book for her audience, Summers feels that the element of vulnerability helps her to connect to her audience on a different level. “Vulnerability is crucial for people to feel like they know you. It makes you relatable and feels like a best friend.”
“wear a cute outfit and get her makeup and hair done.”
The live podcast was a world of difference from her usual show since there are normally no cameras involved and she can be more relaxed. “I can do it from home or the studio and can do it Although overexposure can be a problem in in sweatpants and not have to be done up.” the social media landscape, Summers doesn’t plan on holding back anytime soon. “I’m used to Owning Your Identity having my life on blast through somebody else.

her own. While she didn’t win, she continued on and competed every year and learned real-life skills like interviewing that continue to play a prominent role in her life to this day.
Pageant Beginnings
Communicating after Controversy
Though she’s a strong proponent of using her voice any chance she gets, Summers’ audience might be surprised to learn that she was an incredibly shy child. “At 10 years old, I was so shy. When my family moved, I held on to my mom when it was time to go to school and cried almost every day,” Summers recalled. However, she remembers the moment when she was ready to break out of her shell. “When I was 10, a postcard came in the mail from National American Miss. The girls were having so much fun and I wanted to be a part of it.”
As a person who’s often in the spotlight, Summers knows how easily words can get misconstrued and end up offending others. She continues to learn how to handle these types of situations.
Her family was shocked that she wanted to be involved in something as public as a pageant, but Summers held her ground. Though her first pageant ended in her crying and staring at the ground the majority of the time, Summers soon found her voice and confidence and grew into
“Step back. Everybody says things in the wrong tone. You have to apologize and humble yourself. You have to apologize and let people know it wasn’t your intent.” Even if other people forgive you, Summers points out that there’s one person that’s even more important go get forgiveness from. “You have to learn to forgive yourself,” Summers explained. More than anything, Summers wants others to feel encouraged and inspired after listening to her show. “I want people to have a smile on their face,” Summers said.

Ask The Expert! Dealing with Canceled Meetings I never dreamed that I would be writing this column. Because, I am not the type of expert we are looking for. However these are exceptional times and we are doing exceptional things. In the Publisher’s Note I talked about some of the various things we could do to help people settle into this new routine. Since new routines are always disturbing, we want to help people get re-adjusted. My number one item and something that many people are ignoring is the idea of simply moving the meeting on-line. Since this is simply a technical challenge, I feel that I can tackle this subject. We are going to address a couple of technologies in this article. These are not the only products available by any means, they are simply the ones that am familiar with. Keep the format as close to the in-person meeting as possible. If your meeting was worth anything other than a social gathering, then the meeting provided value to the members. You spent the time getting a venue and setting up the venue space every week or month. Devote the same amount of time to your on-line meeting and you will be rewarded. Plan the on-line version at the same time as the local version was held. If you had introductions, then a guest speaker, then announcements, keep these options. Let people know. You should have the email addresses for all of your members, use this list to inform your members. They won’t know about the meeting unless you tell them. And they won’t attend unless they know about the meetings Need Help? Ask a meeting planner. MPI.com. Zoom.com This is the system that I use the most, It was designed for on-line meetings.
