Well, I’ve changed my website again. I loved the site designed by Caroline, and yet as I got clearer about what I really wanted to convey to people, I decided to make some major changes to the layout and content. Caroline was busy graduating from NCSU, so I hired Anthony Ferrari from Paragon Innovations (www.paragonig.com) to help with layout. Anthony is a brilliant web designer and consummate professional; he has a strong grasp of customer relationships that seems rare these days. I also am grateful for Kathleen O’Grady (www.raleighcoaching.com), a brilliant small business branding coach, who guided me in rewriting the content so that what I express is unique and authentically me.   Finding Kathleen was like finding my soul sister. I feel like the smartest person in the world for hiring both Anthony & Kathleen!

Welcome to my newly designed website! I could not have done this without Caroline Keim of Keim Designs. I originally hired Caroline to help me spiff up my old website, but she had grander ideas! Caroline suggested a new logo, new colors, and a whole new look for my website. Thank you, Caroline, for expanding my thinking.

So, what’s up with the new logo? If you looked at my old logo, you would see that the palette was this Restoration Hardware feel – subtle, calming colors of blue, green and brown. Caroline suggested aqua, brown, and orange and my first reaction was that I didn’t like orange. Well, funny how that I could not stop thinking about the color orange. So, long story short, I chose the orange logo and a brighter, more contemporary look.

This new orange logo to me is reflective of where I am today in my work. I have a passion for working with people who are excited about life even in the middle of a chaotic and uncertain economy. I think the world is hungering for each of us to be leaders of our lives and claim our power in this world. This power is not the kind that minimizes others but is firmly rooted in honor, respect, caring, discipline, equality, and plentiful resources for all. Let’s have the courage to show up and remember and claim all aspects of our leadership!

I’d love to know how you want to play a bigger role in the world!
