Organizations, Associations and Magazines

July 27th 2009

Q. What are some professional organizations/associations and/or journals, magazines, and websites that you find useful?

A. I’m a long-time member of the American Marketing Association, the National Association of College Athletic Marketing Administrators, and a number of other online (and offline) networks and associations.

For sports business magazines, I recommend Street & Smith’s SportsBusiness Daily and the SportsBusiness Journal.  I also enjoy Harvard Business Review, Forbes, a number of blogs and newspapers, and Alltop, an online magazine rack.

Power Hour

July 19th 2006

Q. I’d like to increase how much I read and learn, but it seems like there’s never enough hours in a day and I’m usually too tired (or busy) to read during the evenings. What do you recommend?

A. You may want to consider setting aside 30 minutes each morning and gradually build up to one hour – a power hour – for professional development. This could involve reading, viewing a DVD of best practices, or listening to a CD or cassette.

Professional Development Ideas

March 29th 2006

Q. What are two or three professional development ideas or recommendations you have for collegiate athletics marketing administrators?
 

A. Here are three ideas I encourage you to consider:
 

One: Commit to lifelong learning.  Have a thirst for knowledge each and every day, and be open to learning from everyone and every experience.
 

Two: Have a goal plan.  Write specific goals and review each of them daily.  You’ll be amazed how this provides clarity, focus and how much you will accomplish as a result of setting specific goals and reviewing them on a daily basis.
 

Three: Seek out a mentor or put together a mastermind team of associates to meet with at least once each month to share your goals, update one another on your goals, hold one another accountable and encourage each other, and seek to challenge and support one another.
 

Your turn to take a shot!
 

What are you doing to be a lifelong learner and continually develop your professional skills?
