As some of you may know I am (still) rebranding my consulting company.  It’s been such a looong and interesting process (sometimes in the “green eggs and ham” kind of interesting, if you know what I mean), even the local press got curios!  Smart CEO Magazine contacted me when they learned that not only do I help other companies craft mission statements, I am now in the process of creating my own.  “Let’s see if she practices what she preaches,” they probably thought.  I was so inspired by the interview and the wonderful reporter who lead it, I thought it was worth sharing with a few thousand of my closest friends (and I suppose strangers when the article comes out in June!)  Read more
