House of Cards character actor Mike Lyons and Cary Broussard, former Senate staffer and author, launch dual speaking tour
In a wildly unpredictable election year, Michael Lyons, character actor in the Netflix series “House of Cards” and I (Cary Broussard), are launching a joint speaking tour to draw parallels between the race for the White House and what we can learn (or unlearn) from the candidates behaviors, branding and game plans. As a former U.S. Senate staffer and communications executive, I knew we couldn’t keep our mouths shut any longer….that we couldn’t let this campaign kick our butts and leave us depleted. So…. we are taking our non-partisan, entertaining opinions and brand lessons “on the road.” With an ever-increasing number of candidate “aha” moments to emulate or avoid, we are leveraging our public speaking experience, and experiences working with all sorts of people and media (yes, media are people too) to dissect candidates’ brand building tactics and often lack of tact. By zeroing in on the lessons in dysfunctional campaign moments and even some smart ways to rebound when you think you’re down and out, we are drawing audiences into a conversation about how our own actions create either positive or negative outcomes – no matter what political party one belongs to, affecting those around us in business, in the workplace and especially our personal lives. As Mike says… “We want to demonstrate how smart planning, collaboration, and problem solving will, in the long run, lead to success.” Mike plays the Speaker of the House in Episode 2 of the recently-released Season 4 House of Cards Book us now to engage in the discussion.
