Sample Video Clip from Lou Bortone's Keynote: Loyalty is the New Currency-Leadership Lessons of The Godfather.  

Here’s what Loyalty is the New Currency is about, and how it relates to business:

Vivendi recently reported that a whopping 77% of brands could disappear tomorrow and no one would care. Customer disloyalty is the new normal.

How can you and your business gain and retain new clients, customers, and even employees in this uncertain, post-pandemic world? (Without using fear and intimidation like the Mafia?)

The answer is loyalty.

And the proof comes from an unlikely source: The Godfather.

Using stories from my own upbringing in the "mob's backyard," along with memorable examples from The Godfather novel and movies, I'll show you how loyalty is the new currency, and how you can use lessons from The Godfather and the Mafia's "Code of Honor" to create fiercely loyal customers and employees who “can’t refuse” your offers!

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
