  • Jerry Rice

    NFL All-Time Leading Receiver San Fransisco 49ers and NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice NFL All-Time Leading Receiver San Fransisco 49ers and NFL Hall of Famer The San Francisco 49ers used their first-round draft pick in 1985 on wide receiver Jerry Rice from little known Mississippi Valley State. It did not take long for that decision to pay huge dividends. Rice gave a glimpse of what was to come when he averaged 18.9 yards per catch on 49 receptions for 927 yards and 3 TDs as a rookie. He also rushed six times and scored one touchdown on the ground. In 1986, Rice recorded a season that began perhaps the finest stretch by any receiver in NFL history. That year, he caught 86 passes for a league-leading 1,570 yards. He also led the NFL in touchdown catches with 15. It marked the first of 11 straight 1,000-yard seasons for Rice who also recorded double-digit receiving touchdown totals in nine of the next 10 seasons. The following year, Rice set the NFL record for touchdown receptions in a season with 22. His first of four seasons with 100 catches came in 1990 when he had an even 100 receptions to lead the NFL in that category. It marked the first of two receiving titles for Rice. He led the NFL in receiving yards six times including an NFL record 1,848 yards in 1995. Rice also led the NFL in touchdown receptions six times. No wide receiver in NFL history played more than Rice’s 20 seasons. By the time he retired after finishing his career with Oakland and Seattle, he was the most prolific wide receiver in NFL history with staggering career totals. He owns virtually every significant receiving mark. Some of the more notable career records include receptions (1,549); receiving yards (22,895 yards); most 1,000-yard receiving seasons (14); total touchdowns (208); and combined net yards (23,546). Rice has a hold on multiple NFL playoff and Super Bowl records. He played in eight conference championships and four Super Bowls. He earned three Super Bowl rings with the 49ers and was named the Most Valuable Player of San Francisco’s Super Bowl XXIII win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rice, who was named first-team All-Pro 11 consecutive seasons and voted to 13 Pro Bowls, is also a member of the NFL’s All-Decade Teams of the 1980s and 1990s and NFL’s 75th Anniversary Team.

  • Mike Abrashoff

    Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship Mike Abrashoff Former Commander, USS Benfold and Author, It's Your Ship At the age of 36, the Navy selected Abrashoff to become Commander of USS Benfold – at the time, the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific Fleet. The immediate challenges that faced him on this underperforming naval warship were staggering: exceptionally low morale, high turnover and unacceptably low performance evaluations. Few thought that this ship could improve. In many ways, the USS Benfold was actually an extreme example of the same problems facing many organizations today. The solution was to establish a system of management techniques that Abrashoff calls The Leadership Roadmap. At the core of his leadership approach on Benfold was a process of replacing command and control with commitment and cohesion, and by engaging the hearts, minds, and loyalties of workers – with conviction and humility. “The most important thing that a captain can do is to see the ship through the eyes of the crew.” According to Abrashoff, The Leadership Roadmap is a practice that empowers every individual to share the responsibility of achieving excellence. “It’s your ship,” he was known to say. His former sailors to this day still remind him of it. By every measure, these principles were able to achieve breakthrough results. Personnel turnover decreased to an unprecedented 1 percent. The rate of military promotions tripled, and the crew slashed operating expenses by 25 percent. Regarded as the finest ship in the Pacific Fleet, Benfold won the prestigious Spokane Trophy for having the highest degree of combat readiness. Most important – this transformation took place with the same crew. What had changed was the ship’s culture and Abrashoff’s leadership style. Abrashoff recounted the leadership lessons from the turnaround of USS Benfold in It’s Your Ship, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, with over 800,000 copies sold to date. This extraordinary interest in Abrashoff’s leadership journey and Benfold’s organizational lessons led to two follow-up books – Get Your Ship Together and It’s Our Ship. Those books took readers deeper into ways these principles have been put into action by business leaders in their own organizations. Prior to commanding USS Benfold, Abrashoff served as the Military Assistant to Secretary of Defense William J. Perry. He also helped draft the air defense plan for naval forces in the Persian Gulf in 1990, coinciding with Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait; and served as the Executive Officer of the Cruiser Shiloh, where he deployed to the Persian Gulf in support of United Nations sanctions against Iraq. Mike Abrashoff is the founder of GLS Worldwide, a consulting firm which works with and supports leaders as they address leadership, talent and business challenges within their organization. The firm challenges leaders at all levels to re-imagine their leadership thinking and create new ways to elevate individual, team and organizational performance.

  • Ed "Too Tall" Jones

    Former Professional Football Player Ed "Too Tall" Jones Former Professional Football Player It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out how Ed “Too Tall” Jones got his nickname. Standing at a towering 6 feet 8 inches, the Jackson, Tennessee native was simply too tall for opposing linemen and quarterbacks to handle. Jones was a standout high school basketball player and was recruited to Tennessee State University, where he initially played basketball for two years. Fortunately for TSU—and eventually, the NFL—he made a life-changing decision to switch to football. His choice paid off, earning him All-American honors in both his junior and senior years. Jones gained national recognition in 1974 when the Dallas Cowboys selected him as the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. As a dominant defensive end, he spent 15 seasons with Dallas, setting a franchise record with 194 career starts before retiring at the end of the 1989 season. A key force in the Cowboys’ legendary “Doomsday Defense” of the 1970s, Jones consistently earned Defensive Player of the Week honors. He played in 20 playoff games and was selected for three consecutive Pro Bowls from 1981 to 1983, earning All-Pro honors in 1981 and 1982. His contributions helped propel the Cowboys to three Super Bowl appearances, winning Super Bowl XII in 1978 and solidifying their reputation as “America’s Team.” In 1979, Jones took a brief hiatus from football to pursue professional boxing, compiling a perfect 6-0 record before returning to the Cowboys just a year later. Beyond football, Jones has showcased his versatility in entertainment, appearing in films like Necessary Roughness and Squeeze Play, as well as guest-starring in popular TV shows such as Diff’rent Strokes and Married… with Children. He also has a passion for rhythm and blues music and enjoys hot yoga. Now retired, Jones continues to reside in Dallas, where his legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in Cowboys history remains firmly intact. PAST CLIENTS Panini Topps IMG

Within six months, she was hired by WCBS in New York as the “hard news” reporter for the 11 p.m. newscast. By 1975, she joined NBC News as a Congressional Correspondent, covering national politics. In 1982, Linda revolutionized late-night news with NBC News Overnight, a program she wrote and anchored with Lloyd Dobyns. The show received critical acclaim, including a duPont-Columbia Award for being one of the “best written and most intelligent news programs ever.” In 1986, she moved to ABC News, where she anchored the Our World historical series, winning a national News & Documentary Emmy for her writing.
