Ryan Lochte Lands 1st Endorsement Contract Since LochteGate

Ryan Lochte Lands 1st Endorsement Contract Since LochteGate Ryan Lochte secured his first endorsement deal after the Rio Olympics and the now infamous “Lochtegate,” in which the swimmer admitted he “overexaggerated” about being robbed at gunpoint after a night out in Brazil. The 12-time Olympic medalist will be in ads for Pine Bros. cough drops that will appear both in print and online, ESPN reports. “We all make mistakes, but they’re rarely given front-page scrutiny,” said Rider McDowell, CEO of the privately held company. “He’s a great guy who has done incredible work with charities. I’m confident that Pine Bros. fans will support our decision to give Ryan a second chance.” In the ads, Lochte will reportedly say that the cough drops are “forgiving on your throat”. (Get it?) The Pine Bros. cough drops first went on sale in 1870 as “Pine Brothers Glycerine Tablets” and now come in cherry, honey, licorice and lemon lime flavors. Pine Bros. confirmed the deal in a tweet on Thursday: Lochte thanked Pine Bros. for the endorsement earlier in the day: Read More: Unsolicited advice for Ryan Lochte On the Monday after the Olympics ended, brands that had previously sponsored the athlete, including Speedo and Ralph Lauren, ended lucrative endorsement contracts, likely costing the swimmer millions. Chances are, we’ll be seeing a lot more of Lochte: USA Today reported that he has landed a spot on the 23rd season of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars as well.

Holiday Tip 4 Ways to Impress Others With Your Professionalism - Work It Daily

Holiday Tip 4 Ways to Impress Others With Your Professionalism - Work It Daily Job searching in the holidays is not easy. It’s hard to stay positive and upbeat when you are feeling the pressure to find work. And yet, you need to have the right attitude in order to project an image of confidence that others will remember. Which leads to my tip: Instead of talking about the struggles of the job hunt, you need to find other things to discuss and do, like finding ways to impress people who may be able to help you. There is a simple technique I teach clients to make networking during the holiday easier. Just because you aren’t employed, doesn’t mean you don’t have a lot to offer to the conversation. All you need to do is provide value â€" and that can be done quite easily with a little thought on your end. You see, people respect, admire, and most importantly REMEMBER individuals who share something of substance. In doing so, your credibility goes up, as does the likelihood of someone thinking of you next time they hear about an open position. Ways To Impress People That Actually Work So, before your next holiday event, consider some of the ways to impress others by sharing what you’ve been learning while job hunting with others. #1: I read something… Share the interesting takeaways you got from an article or blog post you read in the last few weeks. This will engage the group in a unique conversation and you will be remembered as the person who started it. For example, highlight a tip or two you read about using LinkedIn or Twitter and ask other people for their thoughts on the social media tools. #2: I watched something… Similar to #1, mention a news clip, documentary, movie, or other video-based item that got your attention and made a positive impression. Perhaps it was a clip on how people are saving money for the holidays or unique ways people are giving back during the season. Anything positive will be well-received in conversation. #3: I met someone new… If you are job seeking, then you’ve (hopefully) been actively networking, either on-line or in-person. Mention someone you were introduced to for the first time that you were really impressed by and share a little bit about their background and expertise with people to see if they have ever heard of this person too. Not only will they appreciate the information, this may prompt them to suggest somebody similar for you to get to know. #4: I reconnected with someone… Share your experience getting back in touch with an old colleague or friend. (Again, as a job seeker, I hope you are doing this weekly!) Share what you learned they’d been up to and how nice it was to hear about their success. Better still, recommend them if you can as someone who is an expert in their field and highlight what makes them exceptional. Showing this kind of respect and admiration for someone says a lot about you â€" not to mention, it could result in those you are conversing with pointing out people of similar character they think you should get to know. Sharing this kind of information during the holiday season is a smart career move. By using one or more of the above discussion starters, you will find it easy to engage in meaningful conversations. Most importantly, it will give back to you by enhancing your reputation as a true professional.
