Business Lessons from the Movies - Keynote Speaker Kevin Coupe

I just met Kevin Coupe, co-author of a hot new book called The Big Picture; Essential Business Lessons from the Movies.  Kevin has been very active on the speaking circuit already, delivering as many as 10 speeches in a month to various well known corporations.  I didn't have a chance to view the entire presentation but he did walk me through a short version which I found very interesting.

His book (and speech) covers business lessons showcased in a variety of hollywood movies.  Kevin and Michael have done a great job choosing choice scenes to explore further.  It must have been quite entertaining and enjoyable to put this together.  So here is the short list of movies covered (among others), can you guess what the lessons are? 

1. Local Hero
2. Bridge on the River Kwai
3. Hoosiers
4. Tin Cup
5. Tucker
6. American Gangster
7. Big Night
8. The Hunt for Red October (not listed in the book)
9. Jaws
10. The Godfather

 You can find our more about Kevin Coupe and his co-author Michael Sansolo at their blog The Morning News Beat and if you're interested in having Kevin speak to your organization about these lessons and their practical business application please drop me a note.
