Wait. What?! So began a phone call with my mother about a month ago. To clarify…

Lol. Well, thank you, Heather Morse! I think we make a fine team where THAT is concerned: “Life is too damn short, and, honestly, Roy Sexton can only bring so much FUN to the world. So, yes, #BeARoySexton. Don’t take yourself or your life or your job too seriously. Give back to those around you, and have some FUN while doing it all!” More: https://www.legalwatercoolerblog.com/2019/01/03/new-year-new-no-way/ @heather_morse (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsMmss1ALD9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k6a5b7ohbh4o

What do you do when you know you need to network and market yourself but the introvert within says, “Uh, maybe later”? On August 9, 2018, Kerr Russell Director of Marketing Roy Sexton (that’s me!) presented strategies…

[roysexton]

For my Legal Marketing Association - LMA International pals (and everyone else for that matter) ... in anticipation of #lma18: "Empathy and understanding and listening are crucial business skills that are too often dismissed as 'soft.' Yet, having finely calibrated emotional antennae helps us predict the future and navigate the present. Culture eats strategy for lunch. A cliché but an apt one. Without accurately assessing the anxiety ridden waters in which we swim and finding ways to engage and allay our partners’ emotional pain points, we will never achieve the organizational focus required to create lasting, meaningful change." https://reelroyreviews.com/2018/03/23/if-you-are-kind-and-polite-the-world-will-be-right-a-prelude-to-the-2018-legal-marketing-association-annual-conference-lma18/ - #bearoysexton, #bearoysextonchallenge (at Saline, Michigan)

Wow! Thank you, brother Blaine D. Fowler! And Joan Giffels for capturing. And Heather Morse-Geller for making me a hashtag. I feel pretty damn special this week. #bearoysexton #bearoysextonchallenge #lmamkt @joangiffels @blainedfowler (at Vintage House)

[roysexton]

I can't even begin to express how much this means to me. Heather Morse-Geller @heather_morse has been an inspiration and a mentor to me, and I'm happy that whatever influence I've mustered has helped spread the word about her insight and expertise. "Roy is as important to me as any content redistributor I could pay. And the best way I can return the favor is to pay it forward. So I challenge us all to #BeARoySexton. Share some content, include a note of WHY it’s important for your network to stop what they are doing and read it. And do it for fun and for free."

In retrospect, I should add an “E” for “elevate,” because I really do “C.A.R.E.” See what I did there? In addition we discuss my hair care regimen, the power of silly tshirts, my favorite songs, and the goddesses #DeborahHarry and #MileyCyrus.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9JTMteMqOI&feature=youtu.be What do you do when you know you need to network and market yourself but the introvert within says, “Uh, maybe later”? On August 9, 2018, Kerr Russell Director of Marketing Roy Sexton presented strategies for embracing your qualities as an introvert (or for those occasions when you aspire to introversion!) and establishing and maintaining a successful personal brand, both online and in person. About the session, co-chair Brenda Zawacki Meller of Meller Marketing wrote, "Today my friend and marketing idol Roy Sexton of Kerr Russell presented 'How to Win the Room When You'd Rather Stay Home' to a PACKED ROOM at Inforum Michigan Troy. Video link below. Now that the meeting is over, I have to confess: I was freaking out a bit this week. We typically have 30 attendees at this monthly meetup and our registration was at 62 people earlier this week. We were getting pretty close on seating. It was almost going to be 'standing room only' at one point! But we brought in extra chairs. This is what happens when you book a ROCK STAR MARKETER for your speaker. I think both his marketing and the topic itself were both reasons for our outstanding turnout. Roy was an amazing presenter. I knew he would be great, but he was even better than I anticipated. Roy has a genuine, approachable, and relatable speaking style. He reminded us introverts that we're OK to be an introvert. We don't need to apologize for it, and we can be effective at networking, too. I learned that if you give introverts an assignment at a meeting (live tweeting, taking pics, helping at the registration table), it eases our anxiety. Need a keynote or conference presenter? Check out Roy Sexton. And tell him Brenda sent you. Then, check out the hashtag #BeARoySexton." Roy has nearly 20 years of experience in marketing, communications, business development, and strategic planning. He earned his BA from Wabash College, his MA (theatre) from The Ohio State University, and his MBA from University of Michigan. He is a graduate of Leadership Detroit and Leadership A2Y. He sits on the boards of Ronald McDonald House Charities of Ann Arbor, Royal Starr Film Festival, Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit, EncoreMichigan.com, and Legal Marketing Association - LMA International. A published author with two books (ReelRoyReviews), Roy is an active performer, awarded 2017 Best Actor (Musical) by BroadwayWorld Detroit. He recently received recognition as one of Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s “Unsung Legal Heroes.” Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9JTMteMqOI&feature=youtu.be - Susie Sexton
