Positive Press for New Point System

May 26th 2008

Q. We have created a new point system and interested to see a best practice example of how a college athletics department may have created positive publicity for its point system announcement?
 

A. The University of Minnesota Athletics Department did  a nice job generating positive media coverage of its new point system in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, online at Fox Twin Cities, and other mediums throughout the Twin Cities.  In addition, the Goal Line Club – the Gophers Booster Club – and the University of Minnesota Alumni Association also complimented the media coverage with information on each of its websites.

Adjusting to Frequent Travel

May 5th 2008

Q. Based on your business, you likely travel frequently and I’m hopeful you could share how someone who is beginning to travel frequently can adjust to frequent trips.
 

A. Making the adjustment from no travel, or light travel, to frequent travel is something that takes time to adjust for many people. It’s definitely an adjustment, both mentally and physically.
