You don't need to be a sports enthusiast to know about the late John Wooden...considered one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. He influenced me personally: not because I played basketball, but because he lived and taught certain principles that to this day motivate me. For instance, he focused his players on being a team and helped them recognize their Creator, and to be the best they could be.
This 17 minute presentation is worth every minute. In this motivational video clip, John Wooden addresses helping others aspire, how NOT to measure yourself against others, how to learn from others. I love what he says, "If you try to control things that you can't control, it will adversely affect the things you do have control over."
He wrote his own definition of success. Wooden taught great principles to his players; principles that will benefit all organizations that work with people: be on time, don't criticize others and be neat and clean. As someone who loves imagery, music and emotion, I can say this: the value of his message is timeless, and out-weighs any production imagery, music or special effects!

Our Video Producer Ginger Stephens recently visited three continents to capture custom content for the recent Comstor Worldwide Executive Meeting. Each of the four videos reinforced the theme "Bridging Partnerships" with an Executive positioned in front of an easily identifiable bridge. Each Executive did exceptionally well without acting classes, but with great coaching from our Producer Ginger and a local crew member. Each Executive individually addressed ties between bridge engineering and partner growth.
Ginger was terrific with handling challenges unique to high profile on-site production (several tourist showed up, one with a camera, mistaking our Executives for movie stars); she practiced improvisation with the village bobby's in London who were 'moving us along', with National Park Rangers at the Golden Gate, who checked our permits... twice, and putting everyone at ease in their presentations!
