November 6, 2008 - Recently-inducted NBA hall of famer Pat Riley, who coached teams including the Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat to seven NBA World Championships, delivered the keynote speech on the second day of Ricoh’s 2008 dealer conference held recently in Orlando, Florida, explaining how he handled his wins—and more importantly, how he handled his losses. Riley told several other stories that illustrated the feelings of frustration when you think you’re doing a good job but still not breaking through, and then the knowledge, once you have broken through, that the work and the journey was worth it. That was the message he seemed to hope the dealers left the conference with—the willingness to accept challenges and turn them into victories, particularly when circumstances appear most trying. It was an apt message considering the economic climate during which the meeting was held.
