"Bill's Thud" documentary screening, Oct. 18
|
 Thursday, Oct. 18Hosted by Kyle Bergersen Ethics & Excellence in Journalism Foundation Auditorium, Gaylord Hall, Room 1140 7 p.m.  | | Bill's Thud Trailer #1 |
Leo Evans (OU class of 1974) created this documentary to say "Thank You" to a generation of Vietnam War veterans. "Bill's Thud" is a story propelled by a promise from one brother-in-law to another - Clark Wiens to William H. Pachura, Lt. Col., retired, United States Air Force. It tracks the multi-year struggle to fulfill that promise - from an affectionate gesture of tribute by Wiens to his beloved "brother Bill," to an inspiring Memorial Day reunion between the man and his old war plane, through miles of military red tape and logistical obstacles, to a dignified memorial that sits today in a peaceful park in the fighter pilot's solidly middle-American hometown of Centralia, Ill.The twin journeys of Bill Pachura and his plane to their final resting places are the focus of this film. But from those passages emerged a clear mandate to express belated gratitude to all airmen, soldiers, sailors and Marines who did their duty in that rancorously politicized and unpopular war called Vietnam.

Jon Steel's "The Perfect Pitch"  Tuesday, Oct. 912:30 p.m.Lindsey + Asp Presentation RoomAvailable from Amazon or your local bookseller. Also available for Kindle. From Amazaon:
"What is the most moving, compelling, and ultimately persuasive argument you ever heard? I'll bet that very few people think of an argument they heard in a conference room presentation." During his phenomenal twenty-year career in advertising, Jon Steel has won more than ninety percent of the new business he has pitched, winning multi-million dollar contracts from clients like Nike, Sony, Pepsi, Porsche, and Hewlett-Packard. Now this professional "pitching coach" for one of the world's largest marketing communication conglomerates shares his secrets. Steel explains how you really create presentations that win hearts, minds, and new business. He also draws on intriguing presentation examples from the real world-including the O. J. Simpson trial, Bill Clinton's presidential debates, the speeches of Sir Winston Churchill and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and even his own marriage proposal to his wife. Steel identifies the "presentation crimes" committed every day across the business world and the pillars on which all successful presentations are built. He discusses audience psychology, the importance of listening, and how to use real-world examples to make points more powerfully. Perfect Pitch covers every aspect of the pitch process, from assembling a presentation team to rehearsals and the preparation of compelling leave-behind documents. A must-read for advertising and sales professionals, this book is a should-read for anyone who makes pitches of any sort-from sales professionals to Realtors who list and sell houses to business executives who want to seal deals. The book ends with an inside look at London's successful dark horse bid for the 2012 Olympics-a perfect pitch.
