The Launch of "The-Red-Thread-Book.com" Showcases H. Brian Thompson's Memoir "The Red Thread - My Fortunate Life in Telecommunications"

    WASHINGTON, DC, November 11, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- On the newly launched website and in his book, Brian credits his success to the many strands of "red thread" retrospect that began as a young boy selling newspapers to junk dealers in the 1940s, lessons learned serving our country in the U.S. Navy as a bomb-disposing diver, and many interesting stories in between that earned Brian the trust and respect of top executives and board members for many of the world's well known telecommunications brands. Equally, if not more important, is the website's tribute to his family's Irish heritage, his mother and father's impact on his life and the love and support from his wife, children, grandchildren, sisters, friends and the long list of colleagues and companies that taught, mentored and continue to support him on this exciting journey.

For telecommunications professionals and executives "The Red Thread" is more than a business memoir; this is Brian's real-world journey documenting the ever-changing telecommunications industry through his own "red thread" analogy. The book can be a guide to discovering the character traits, behavior patterns and decisions that he believes impacted and influenced his career and led to his many successes and also defined some of his failures.

"The Red Thread - My Fortunate Life in Telecommunications" is also a memoir for business leaders at all levels, MBA students and others to read, understand and learn from Brian's journey as they set their own course in life and business. The website also features endorsements from extraordinary people Brian has worked with, learned from and influenced.

"Read this book," exclaims Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist and Internet Pioneer. "Learn from Brian's experience at less personal cost than he has paid. His candor and insights are reflected in the colorful fabric of his remarkable career."

"Brian's leadership and mentoring became a life changing experience for me post my ABA/NBA career. I definitely learned from him what I missed by not attending graduate school," stated Julius Erving, retired NBA and ABA player and former LCI board member. "Additionally, I gained a friend and golfing buddy for life. What a blessing."

The www.the-red-thread-book.com website previews an incredible life-long story that is a prequel to what's to come from H. Brian Thompson and the lessons you can learn from his memoir.
