Are you a trusted strategic advisor? What is your level of influence?

1). Are you getting called earlier (first?)

2). Are you invited to key meetings before things go in the ditch? And other key decisions?

3). Do people remember what you say and perhaps quote you in other places and venues?

Book Review: Impeachment – A Citizen’s Guide

As Benjamin Franklin famously put it, Americans have a republic, if we can keep it. Preserving the Constitution and the democratic system it supports is the public’s responsibility. One route the Constitution provides for discharging that duty – a route rarely traveled – is impeachment.

Cass R. Sunstein provides a succinct citizen’s guide to an essential tool of self-government. He illuminates the constitutional design behind impeachment and emphasizes the people’s role in holding presidents accountable. Despite intense interest in the subject, impeachment is widely misunderstood. Sunstein identifies and corrects a number of misconceptions. For example, he shows that the Constitution, not the House of Representatives, establishes grounds for impeachment.

Interview Preparation Notes: Exhibit # 17

IMG 4182

Interview Preperation Notes is a crucial 40 page document provided to all participants in Lukaszewski’s Executive Media Training Workshops. The document contains more than 40 crucial media interview preparation techniques which will be shared each month in this newsletter.

One of the first and most important questions I ask those going through media training is to discuss with me their concerns, fears, doubts and questions about being interviewed by the news media. I believe it’s far more important to address these questions, making spokespeople comfortable and spend less time talking about the media.
