“The biggest benefit of anything that you can do at work is if it actually impacts how you behave as a human being and it extends into your personal life.” “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.” “Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash.

Paul Lisnek recalls that one wise piece of advice from his guidance counselor during his sophomore year that steered him to become the nationally recognized television commentator, author, speaker, corporate trainer, trial consultant and lawyer that he is today.  Join us in an inspiring episode of Someone Gets Me as Paul shares how he's come full circle in his journey by following his passions, his mindset of always saying yes to his inner calling and maximizing time and resources to create a legacy.  Key points covered in this episode: ✔️  If Paul didn't turn to the communications building that day in his sophomore years, he'd indeed become an accountant doing taxes. His advice for those who are in their 20s, pursue your passion because you only get one shot in this life. But for those who are in their 40s and 50s – stop looking back regretting it. It's never too late to do something else then and pursue your dream.    ✔️ If you said "yes" to something and it didn't feel right, you could say "no, thank you" later. Paul proves that as we grow through life, saying YES is vital because you can always change your mind. But if you get used to turning down every new chance or opportunity, you will never know where it's going to take you.    ✔️ A café named after Paul in his college at the University of Illinois serves as an inspiration and support for students who dream of blazing new paths like Paul.   ✔️ Paul Lisnek has shown authenticity in his long career by melding his gifts and passions: politics and entertainment. Respected in both worlds, he ensures to give back with his wisdom, time and resources.   Paul Lisnek is the multi-Emmy, Telly, Cablefax and Communicator Award winning political analyst for WGN-TV and anchor of WGN-TV Political Report seen every Sunday morning. Paul also hosts the podcast for WGN Radio called "Paul Lisnek Behind the Curtain," which can be heard anywhere podcasts are offered.

He anchors Newsmakers for the Comcast Network as well. Paul is the author of 14 books, including his latest mystery series titles: "Assume Guilt" and "Assume Treason," the 2021 Winner of the Indie Book Award for Finalist, Best Mystery.    The Museum of Broadcast Communication in Chicago is home to the Paul M Lisnek Gallery, a permanent exhibit honoring Paul's long career in TV and Radio and presents some of his extensive TV and film memorabilia collection.   Listen to Paul Lisnek Behind The Curtain: https://wgnradio.com/wgn-plus/paul-lisnek-behind-the-curtain/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/PaulLisnek IG: https://www.instagram.com/paul_lisnek/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-lisnek-3374015/   ___________________________________________________________________________________ How to Connect with Dianne A.

The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His new show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET. Brad is first joined by Paul Lisnek, a multi-Emmy, Cablefax, Telly and Beacon Award winning television host and analyst. Paul has been the political analyst for WGN-TV since 2008, appearing on all the station’s newscasts discussing political issues of the day. He is the host of Politics Tonight on CLTV, on which he interviews the leading political figures in the city, state and country, and also serves as a fill-in anchor. Paul has interviewed presidents, governors, senators, congressmen, local representatives and mayors too numerous to count over the last 25 years.  His Twitter handle is @PaulLisnek. Paul and Brad breakdown the upcoming second impeachment trial for Donald Trump in the Senate.  They also analyze Justice Merrick Garland as President Biden's choice for Attorney General, plus whether they think that Biden will have to govern by executive order due to Senate filibuster rules. Brad is then joined by Jeneé Osterheldt for the second half of the show. Jeneé is a Boston Globe culture columnist who covers identity and social justice through the lens of culture and the arts. Brad and Jeneé discuss what role racism is playing in our country's governing and politics at the moment.  They also analyze the huge impact that National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman had on President Biden's inauguration. The Boston Globe also has a vertical that is curated by Jeneé called, "A Beautiful Resistance." It is a series of stories about Black joy and Black lives. The aim is to amplify the truth of Black folk and other people of color living as their fullest selves in a region, in a country, set up to keep them from doing just that – their lives are more than police brutality and suffering. Black lives are a beautiful resistance, and the platform is providing the space for Black people to tell their stories in their own terms, because “even the most well-meaning white person will never tell our stories how we tell our stories.” A Beautiful Resistance, which features an Instagram channel (@abeautifulresistance), features videos, events and stories of blackness  – through stories and struggles of six people in New England, under the lens of love.

Welcome to my 3-minute Think Tank where I share what I’m thinking about and ask you to think about it too. Of course, I can't get the attacks on Capitol Hill off my mind. Forty-five percent of Republicans say they approve of the recent terrorist attack. This does not bode well for our future and the future of the Biden presidency.

Every communicator plays a significant role within an organization, but some of those roles get more visibility than others. Sales shares about customer insights, marketing relays their brand and product strategies, and something we’ve seen grow in the last five years, is that data security teams have become big communicators, with many CISO’s managing the communication to leadership teams and corporate Boards. On this episode of What’s Your Story, Sally connects with Kim Keever, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer of Cox Communications, one of the leading cable, internet and home automation providers to talk about the increased demand for security insights and how she brings clarity to a pretty complex topic. More About Kim Keever Kim Keever is the Chief Information Security Officer and Senior Vice President of Security, Analytics and Technology Services for Cox Communications. Her teams are responsible for all aspects of Information Security for Cox Communications, the Center of Excellence for Analytics and for Technology people programs. Since joining Cox, she has built an industry recognized security program. In early 2016, Kim’s team received an innovation award from CSO Magazine, and Kim was named a top woman in technology by Multichannel News. In both 2017 and 2018, she was named one of the most powerful women in cable by Cablefax. Kim is a graduate of Georgia Institute of Technology. She is a member of several industry associations and boards including Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS). She is active in volunteer organizations including Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Technology Advisory Board and support of homeless shelters located in Atlanta. Show Notes There has been an increased demand for security insights since 2014 because of large company security breaches. Leaders started looking for an increase in security insights out of worry and wanted to know: what happened, how did it happen, and could it happen to us? How do you talk to leaders about security without scaring them?  We talk about security with a risk based approach: Call out the highest risks first. Do a little bit at a time. Give them context. Give them a comparison so they can better understand where the risks are. There are two types of CISO’s: High tech. Business focused. The ability to explain the technology in a business context and alert companies to what the risks are is important because it’s the most effective way to help CISO’s operate. Companies will be more likely to get buy-in and senior leaders will feel more comfortable with the security team. How do you understand the magnitude of what to keep a watch on? There are different areas in which data breaches are happening: Bad Guys. Nation State Actors. Hack-tivists. When you start talking about security and risk, you run the risk of making companies look bad as far as their security of data goes. Don’t let your vulnerability be because of funding. How can you partner with other departments or organizations to get the funding needed to reduce the risks and fix the issues early on? Don’t bombard your listeners with too much detail, give them the facts but don’t overwhelm them. Train your employees on effective communication, and continue to practice it. Be sensitive of the information you share. Help clear up misunderstandings or potential misunderstandings. When you speak about complex things, you may need to say them multiple times and tell them in different ways in order for listeners to fully understand and remember. The security team is trying to educate the entire organization, more than just talking about security risks. Hands on experiences have helped prove the need for heightened security. Finding ways to make security fun and interesting tends to help the content resonate with people. A strong leader is someone that employees are willing to follow. As a leader, hire people who are smarter than you and have diversity of thought; those who are independent in their work and want to do the right thing. Give employees opportunities to keep them engaged, allow people to own their own space, and let them grow in their career. Keep your employee’s best interest in mind, and always keep an open dialogue. Security is a great field to get into. Having a background in technology helps, and this career is in high demand and won’t go away. Be willing to gently show people that they may not be doing enough in one area.

On today’s episode, we’re speaking with Patricia Martin of Cox Communications about the importance of effective storytelling and communication among technologists. Patricia also shares some insight into the impact good leaders can have on inspiring others. More About Patricia Martin Patricia Martin joined Cox Communications in 2005. In her time there, she has led several key initiatives at Cox, including the creation of the first national team of virtual construction estimators and Cox’s first-generation Video Back Office National Center of Excellence. Martin oversees the Network Operations Centers and Tier II support teams for both Residential and Cox Business support models. In 2017, Martin streamlined the Service Assurance NOC to one operating model with two locations, Atlanta and Phoenix. She synchronized national teams and subject matter experts toward improving customers’ experience and set a new road map within the company for other functions to emulate. Martin is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma and of the WICT Betsy Magness Leadership Institute. She has been recognized by Women in Cable Technology (WICT) and CableFax for her leadership skills, her ability to drive results, her unwavering commitment to her team and customers, and the positive changes she has delivered at Cox Communications. Show Highlights What is Technology Service Assurance? How do you successfully keep multiple platforms operating while knowing who is the right technologist to contact? PIR - Post Instant Report- It’s important to communicate with your customer base letting them know what occurred and how it won’t happen again. How does a team communicate internally to non-technical audiences when they are facing a challenge? Why is it important to be a good storyteller especially during budgeting time? How do you build confidence in your technologist through storytelling? Focus on the issue, and leave the details for others who will understand. What is the importance of developing a structure to share information? Consistency in how you deliver your message in a technology world is extremely important. Why is communication important when leading an organization? People who are great communicators will be great management and directors. How do you establish a connection with an audience? Make sure your message meets people where they are. Set them up with a storyline to help people digest it and explain the reason of “why”. How can using stories help lessen the blow of a big change for employees? Helping people understand why tough decisions were made allows them to see that it was something happening with them and not to them. Why is it important for leadership to tell stories and be vulnerable? People want to know who they work for. Listeners connect to stories on challenges and disappointments, they want to see the journey. Connect with people as a leader, because that is what people will remember. What makes a good leader? Vision, strategy, empathy, and a backbone of steel.

In this episode, we discussed: the businesses case for a new cable TV provider. how Layer3 TV distinguishes itself from traditional cable providers. the current regulatory environment from the perspective of new entrants to the cable marketplace.

The DC Circuit upheld the rules on Monday by declining to review the 3-judge panel that found that the FCC's net neutrality rules are legally sound. This opens the door for a possible Supreme Court appeal. However, as policy expert Gigi Sohn noted in a tweet, the Supreme Court is unlikely to hear the case since the FCC has its own plans. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai announced last week  that the FCC would vote on a proposal at the May Open Meeting to reverse the Obama-era net neutrality rules. The announcement has been met with resistance from Democrats as well as public interest advocates who say undoing the net neutrality rules would favor a handful of large internet service providers at the expense of everyone else. Conservatives see the net neutrality rules--which classified broadband internet service providers as so-called common carriers, thus bringing them under the FCC's jurisdiction--as a power grab over the internet orchestrated by Democrats who were more aligned with internet-based content producers such as Netflix.  Harper Neidig reports in the Hill. In a victory for Hollywood and other holders of large copyrights, the House passed a bill that would make the Register of Copyrights a presidential appointment, rather than someone who is appointed by the Librarian of Congress. The bill comes after current Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who was appointed by Obama, demoted the Register of Copyrights--Maria Pallante--who was seen as someone who sided with large content companies. The bill passed the House on a vote of 378-48. In an attempt to bury fake news, Google has rewritten its search algorithm. The 10,000+ Google staffers who rate content will now begin to flag, inappropriate, misleading, false and low quality content. A new Verizon report has found an uptick in cyber breaches that appear to be related to espionage. Of the 2,000 breaches Verizon found, 300 were tied to espionage. Morgan Chalfant has more in the Hill. Facebook reported a 9 percent increase in government data requests in the second half of 2016 compared to the first half of that year. About half of the data requests by U.S. government officials included a non-disclosure agreement requiring Facebook to refrain from telling its users that the government requested information about them. Sarah Perez has the story in TechCrunch. Finally, a federal judge in New York has cleared the way for the NYPD to use police body cameras. Public interest lawyers had attempted to prevent the roll-out of the body cams. Ashley Southall at The New York Times reports that one group -- the Center for Constitutional Rights -- had argued that the draft policy was too unclear as to how the NYPD planned to use, retrieve and store the footage obtained from the body cams.
