Love this cup!! Happy everything! Did you know butterflies represent (if they’re around YOU and they catch YOUR attention): “Symbols of transformation and spiritual growth. In many ancient cultures, butterflies are considered a powerful symbol of transformation and spiritual growth, according to mindbodygreen. And just as a caterpillar transforms, we too can transform and grow spiritually. Turning into a butterfly involves more than just a physical transformation. It’s a profound spiritual journey. You can think of it as the soul evolving from one state to another. During this process, the caterpillar must relinquish its old form, surrendering itself to an entirely new experience. From a human experience point of view, this can symbolize spiritual growth and evolution. It creates space to let go of old ways of thinking and being (Good Feng Shui!) and embrace a new and higher state of consciousness. Connection with mental and emotional wellness… As with all things nature, butterflies evoke a positive emotional and psychological response, according to the Butterfly Conservation organization. On a physical level, butterfly sightings can lift your mood and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. Whereas on a spiritual level, witnessing butterfly beauty can guide you toward compassion. It can ignite a burning desire to preserve their natural habitat for these enchanting creatures. By observing their iridescent wings and powerful patterns, you can’t help but take a moment to capture the true beauty that surrounds you. Let this spiritual meaning of butterflies serve as a reminder to live in the present moment and appreciate the beauty of life. “. (Goodnet)

If you write short answers to most or all of these questions, play with the order a little and do some creative wordsmithing, you can come up with a concise and impactful Mission Statement.

Is this you? Don't fall into the easy trap of sending "check in" emails to see where the sale stands. I know I have. That said, tailored engagement shouldn't stop when the sale isn't "now"! Interactive product tours are a very powerful tool to keep buyers engaged and informed, especially when they're not ready to purchase "at this time". By offering ongoing access to product functionality and updates, you can ensure that when the time comes, your buyers are equipped with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. Stay connected, stay engaged, and keep your buyers in the loop! P.S. Rabbit Rabbit

I get it… managing email can be difficult, and declaring email bankruptcy certainly sounds attractive. But what message does it send to others? 🤔 As a communicator and leader who values virtues, I wonder about the unintended message this practice sends. Does it demonstrate courtesy, consideration, respect, integrity or accountability? 🤷♂️ I’ve been on the other side of colleagues declaring email bankruptcy after returning from a long summer holiday. It took me a couple of years to recognize it and develop an effective strategy to combat it. 🛡️ Even today, some have established a reputation that triggers a process I've developed to remind me to follow up after a reasonable time. I’m happy that it’s the exception, not the rule. ✉️ And I’m grateful to those who make the effort to send a short note that manages my expectations when a full response will take time or they’re not able to meet a target date. I can imagine a few instances when declaring email bankruptcy is a solution, but I'm not convinced it’s an effective strategy that sends a positive message about your personal brand. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm

Agencies are storytellers yet they often fail to use their “sizzle” reel (hate that term) to tell their agency story and emotional & rational differentiators to prospects. Despite being an electronic music fan and a fan of creative agencies, I’ve never been a fan of quick cuts of agency work set to EDM or Dubstep, and neither have prospects (or Rob Mayhew) Creative agencies, you can do better. #businessdevelopment #agencygrowth #cmo #newbusiness #creativeadvertising
