TommyLog – Bang Your Head Against a Wall

tommytrc — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 13:48:02 +0000

Yesterday I was at Red Shoes PR doing some filming. A frustrated Lisa comes in the room and says… Once you are finished banging your head against a wall, why not try the door? WOW..how profound and how true. Many times if you are just getting beaten up with a project, take a few steps backwards and take a closer look. Words to live by!

This week I received the coolest hand made card from my friend in New Jersey!! Thank you IS for the hand made love!!! Thank you cards just rock!!

I have the opportunity to speak at LeaderFest a regional for young professionals sponsored by the Fox Citied Chamber of Commerce and the Pulse Young professional network. www.foxcitiesyoungprofessionals.com

I am so excited to co-speak with Jess Dennis from Red Shoes PR on the topic How to be a Killer Social Media Advocate for your Company. I’m excited about this topic and its one that I’m passionate about. Many businesses are scared to embrace social media. I came from a culture that was 100% scared of the tools. I look forward to help inspire the next generation of leaders to do great things with social media.

Challenge the Norms

Tommy got some amazing news on Friday challenging the norms in which he was brought up to believe. This last year since the birth of baby Drew has been amazing. First the news report, then a public speaking gig with Red Shoes PR and the Fox Cities Chamber. Who would have thought the potential of a poor boy form Rochester, NY… ~

Yesterday I was given a “new job” gift by the gals at Red Shoes PR, my own pair of red converse. HOW COOL IS THAT?? I’m now a member of an elite club. I just love that. All autographed and everything! I’m so excited!!! What a blessing it is to have friends like that. I also show off my new HC Miller business cards complete with QR code on the back.

The Last hours – Exit Interview

Today was my last day of work at RR Donnelley. Almost 14.5 years of great memories, laughs and love. It all came to a close at the Exit Interview. About a dozen questions about my stay at RRD. Pretty sterile and objective. A pretty emotional day, but all in all..amazing. THANK YOU all my RRD friends and family. Its Happening and this is just the beginning!!! So exciting to watch it all happen.

NOTE: There are 2 videos for this posting, so scroll down for more….

With the exit interview behind me, it was smooth sailing. A dozen or so questions then its time for lunch with my great friends at Red Shoes PR. We grubbed at Panera Bread, talked about our first jobs and transitioning betwen jobs. Fun had by all. Now its off to happy hour and more friends and well wishing.

Penny Wars for Haiti

Tommy’s Blue and Gold Cub Scout banquet was a hit. So much fun. His cub master of many years stepped down from his post. I have sop much respect and love for people who serve children in that capacity. AMAZING!!! But today’s highlight is the student assembly at Gegan Elementary where it was announced they made $2000.00 in a penny war for Haiti. The generous gift from the folks at Red Shoes PR with a $600 match made it all possible. Of course there were the fine folks at Prospera Credit Union who counted all the loose change. There was a HUGE 3×5 foot check to give to the American Red Cross. Oh man, warm and fuzzies all around.

Busy Busy Week

Well lots is happening around camp Tommy. Winter storms and snowy roads bring car pooling and not a lot of vloging time. Spent an afternoon with the gals at Red Shoes PR filming a few Red Shoes Speaks video spots. Love working with those gals.

Friday Morning Pancakes – Affinity Tweetup

Today was truly an AMAZING day. Every other week we have a breakfast tweetup at BlueBerry Hill. Well this week, Affinity Health offered to host the breakfast at St Elizabeth hospital. We had civic leaders there, the president of the hospital, their PR firm and many many others. Over 40 in all were in attendance. What a true testament to the friends I have here in NE Wisconsin. Its truly humbling the lasting relationships I have made.
