#50 August 8: Review Tiffin Sports MBA website – 1 hour 45 minutes

And now for something completely different. In addition to working on Life After the Games for the ICC, I am loaned out to the Tiffin University Sports Management program to assist in its promotion. The three interviews I did earlier with former students in the program were a part of that effort. I have been asked to take a look at the current Sports Management webpage and offer my input on how it can be improved. Specifically, Dr. Tiell wants to be able to add those testimonials onto the site. I have done my review, written a few things down, and will send those to Dr. Tiell. My thought is that there could be some streamlining of the content by combining certain sections, then the testimonials can be included without the information becoming too overwhelming.

I live for the opportunity to share my ideas with others. My ideas are not always the greatest and that becomes evident as soon as some of them come out of my mouth, but that is the beauty of the brainstorming process. There is always this pressure to have the best ideas but even through the ones that sound totally crazy come thoughts that just might work. I do not know whether using that type of approach is encouraged that much in a business setting, and it ought to be. I am fortunate to have aligned myself with people who do support out-of-the-box thinking, as that has allowed me to hone really in on creating effective messages.
