Guest Lectures

Satlin Communications offers quality Guest Lectures that capture some of the most influential lessons learned during my career. These lectures not only provide guidance in the world of sports television, but in many cases transcend to just about any industry.

What’s my Story?
“What’s my Story” incorporates the art of storytelling into the everyday business world. One former boss explained to me early in my career, “All we do is tell stories about people. That’s it.” “What’s my story” takes a deeper look at examples from television, music and advertising and shows how quality storytelling can make an impact not only in the sports world, but beyond.

Maybe You’re Asking the Wrong Question.
“Maybe You’re Asking the Wrong Question” breaks down what questions receive the best answers. In today’s limited media access, every word counts and every question matters. This lecture provides tools that will improve the quality of your questions both as a journalist, but in everyday life.

It’s the Relationships.
In an iPhone/Zoom/ChatGPT world, the importance of creating strong relationships with your clients, partners, vendors, and teammates can be what differentiates you from everyone else. “It’s the Relationships” takes a look at what could be the most important skill I developed in my career – the ability to develop and maintain professional relationships both internally and externally.

How I evolved from a sports-loving entry-level employee to a 3-time Emmy award winner. An Insider’s View of working high level events such as FIFA World Cups, NCAA Final Fours, World Series, Super Bowls – a whole different level of complexity, expectations, and collaboration.
