The Adcraft Club of Detroit hosted Cesar Millan, www.cesarmillaninc.com, the renowned “Dr. Phil of dogs”, as the keynote speaker at this past Friday’s weekly luncheon. The National Geographic Channel, http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel airs the popular show, The Dog Whisperer, which stars Millan. This immensely popular show features Millan working with people and their “problem” dogs. Millan sensible, caring and appropriately spiritual advice shows how a change in attitude, approach and energy can positively impact the relationship een dog and owner. And, surprise, the dog isn’t the “problem”, the owner’s own attitude and energy is the biggest impact on the dog’s behavior. Millan preaches that in order to be effective ”pack leaders” the human must display “calm assertive energy”. Well, that is superb advice, for all endeavors in life, from relating to dogs to leading a business meeting.
Anyway, a group of us from Brogan & Partners, who are big fans, were enthusiastic audience members. We were truly Cesar’s pack! (note: some clients joined us, but I am keeping them anonymous for now.)
So, is this a branded welcome to a wonderful speaker or what?
This is my Thanksgiving Day blog post! Nothing much for you to sink your teeth into, because I think you have enough to be sinking your teeth into right now. So for a change you are not getting any brilliant advertising, PR, media or healthcare marketing insight. Just some jokes. Try ‘em, they are classics. When everyone is in a food coma, they will think you are brilliant. Enjoy and I hope you have much to be thankful for. I do.
Tell these jokes:
How do you keep a turkey in suspense?
I’ll tell you at Christmas.
Why did the turkey cross the road?

Long-time Brogan & Partners fans know all about our legendary out-of-town mystery trips, but fewer people know about our local quarterly trips. (Why do we do them? To make sure we keep our less than 5% employee turnover rate?)
A group from the North Carolina office took in a mystery trip yesterday. We went to the Carnivore Preservation Trust, a 55-acre tract in Pittsboro, North Carolina that takes care of carnivores that are found mistreated. The non-profit offers tours, which are extremely interesting. Well worth checking out.
Here’s a slide show with just a couple pics from our trip:
