It’s 52º and chilly.
It’s May 10th today, 52º and chilly. In fact, you can see the white caps on the East River. Last night, howling winds brought down an old tree in one of my favorite Brooklyn parks. They say it’s going to hit 64º later today. Why I talk about the weather, I have no idea. I never talked about the weather when I lived in Sydney. But New Yorkers do, or so it appears!
In any case, moving on to a more interesting topic, I heard the inspiring Francis Cole Jones, speak last Friday at the Fashion Group International’s Regional Directors’ Conference (more about that later), and her recent book is The WOW Factor, The 33 Things You Must (and Must Not) Do to Guarantee Your Edge in Today’s Business World. Loved her hugely energetic personality! Check out her book. She also wrote, How to Wow.
What’s more, last Monday, I wrapped up The NY Brand Lab series of four Monday Masterminds. What a group of exciting people, brands and collective of energy,ideas and determination to make things happen! Kudos to you all!
So here’s a question for you: I am planning a new workshop and trying out a different format – The NY Brand Lab One-Day Event which will be from 10am – 3pm here in the studio at the beginning of June so if you’re interested, let me know. I have a list of interested people so this will be an intensely focused, fun and inspiring session. Keen? Give me a call, okay?
Want to volunteer? Well, The Network for Teaching Entrpereneurship (NFTE) inspires young people to succeed in school and in life by seizing educational opportunities and starting their own businesses. I read about them in an article by Thomas Friedman in The New York Times, recently and called up to see how I could help. (Imagine getting your head around branding at that age!)
So on April 28, 25 fresh-faced highschool students and teachers from the Cobble Hill school (Brooklyn) visited the studio here and we talked up a storm about why branding is so relevant! Will post pics from that day as soon as they come through from www.nfte.com.
What’s going on with your brand?!
