As the final season of the year approaches, it's the perfect time to remind ourselves of the power of intention. As you lead clients through conversations about the upcoming holidays and the importance of fostering connections with their brand around the holidays, remember to safeguard your inner peace by planning ahead. Consider this a gentle reminder that you can't be a light for others if you're neglecting your own well-being. This season, let mindfulness be your guide as you balance the satisfaction that comes with a balance of productivity, self-care, and meaningful connections. In this month's newsletter, we're here to provide some tips on how to be mindful about managing your time, space, and energy, all while achieving the outcomes you're aiming for. You'll discover articles, goodies, and social media pics ready to be shared, all geared towards helping you reach your goals in this final quarter - keep reading!
Cheers,
Dana Geiger | Executive Director |

Meet Shawn Kanak
President
Towel Specialties
Q: What's your favorite movie? Why?
A: Planet of the Apes (the original 1968 version) stuck with me as it was the first movie that I can recall that really challenged the ordinary, which I thought was outstanding. Years later was met with critical acclaim and is widely regarded by many as a classic. I applauded it for its imagination and its commentary on a possible world turned upside down.
Q: Who's your biggest influence in your life?
A: It’s only fitting to share the wisdom my cowboy dad taught me over the years that’s helped me in both raising a family and the business arena.
Do your Best: While breaking quarter horses for riding my dad would come up to me as I sat on the next horse, look me in the eye, pat my leg, and say “Do your Best, Shawn”. This was immediately followed by him letting go of the lead-rope and me flying over the horse's head in a matter of seconds! This was usually followed by “Be aggressive, ride hard, keep at it,” (meaning we are doing this again?!). It was like clockwork. Whether he realized it or not, he taught me so much in those three words: Do Your Best.
Takeaway-If we’d simply give our all, do our best in every task we face, run faster than our opponent, which all lead to bettering ourselves in our career, inspire others, win awards, stand out from the crowd, develop new skills and be role models to our children! If you’re not doing your best, then you’re operating at a lower level. You’re compromising your standards and setting yourself up to accept substandard performances. Every day, in every aspect of our lives we have the option of doing our best work or something less.
Q: Any upcoming events/news you want to share from your company with our network?
A: When it comes beach towels and blankets, this is what we do. Count on the highest quality craftmanship, on time delivery and redefined functionality that continues to raise the bar. When it comes to drop-shipping for holiday please consider having us perform the task for you. Whether the project entails adding third-party items, shipping internationally for 18 or 18,000...you can count on us. All details can be found at www.towelspecialties.com/FreightandDropShipping |

Meet Murray Siegal
Marketing Director
Towel Specialties
Q: What's your motto or personal mantra?
A: What doesn't call you makes you stronger.
Q: What's your biggest project of all time?
A: On a personal level, it was writing my book "MurMurings". On a professional level, it was probably one of our Towel Specialties catalogs. They tend to run together after 25 years, but the first one on location in the Bahamas was one of my favorite.
Q: Any upcoming events/news you want to share from your company with our network?
A: We're putting together one of our biggest product launches in 2024. Stay tuned. |
