Weekend Posting
So today I had the opportunity to speak to a group of professionals and entrepreneurs at Dr. Rorree Tillman’s SOULutions workshop. It’s always inspiring to see people committed to growing their business and as professionals. Let’s face it, not a lot of people would give up half a beautiful Saturday for continuing education.
Kudos to those who attended and thanks again for the opportunity to share my passion, creating a living brand. I’m currently developing a webinar that you’ll hear more about soon on that very topic.
I’ve written here before about the power of integration and consistency. But you’ll be hearing more from me this month on brand self-awareness, and how public relations tools can help you communicate based on your self-awareness.
Stay tuned dear readers.
Where oh where has the PR Chick been?
In my estimation, there’s nothing worse in branding and communication than a stagnate website. So where the heck have I been? In a whirlwind of life and business changes, that’s where!
As we prepare to move in to 2008, Vibrant PR will continue to exist my dearies! Hooray! I will be available for consultations and creative strategy sessions primarily, as I focus full-time resources with another company.
New Vibrant Clients
I’m excited to announce that Vibrant PR is now working with Burleson Pipe and Steel based in Fort Worth and The KARD Group based in Mississippi.
Welcome to the Vibrant Family!
PR Chick turns to modeling
That’s right. Come October 31, this PR Chick will have a short stint as a model for the Bodacious Boutique on Good Morning Texas.
Paula Guthrie is a fellow eWoman and is the owner of the Bodacious Boutique in Dallas, TX. She’s a savvy marketer, and has landed a special interview segment on GMT before. I adore her store and somehow as we were talking a few months back I agreed to be a model.
So we’ll have to see if my guilty indulgences of watching America’s Next Top Model and What Not to Wear are going to pay off!
See you in HD on Halloween. Now that’s a truly scary thought.
Had a Blast
Over the weekend I conducted a media spokesperson training for the American Cancer Society. Now I’ve done this for years, but this one was very special, and I had a blast.
This was for a group of 25 cancer survivors. Some were in remission, some were surviving day to day. What they all had in common was that they were hand picked by the staff in their state/region to become volunteer spokespeople.
I have never worked with a group that had more energy or passion. It was thrilling.
With any training I usually have to go through the convincing speech to build up the “students” that they are experts in their area and should speak with confidence, yadda, yadda. Not so with this group. They let go and let themselves shine. Here are some of the things these cancer survivors taught me at this training that I thought I’d share with you.
1) “I was more scared of losing my hair than talking to a reporter.”
2) “I’m not going to let someone drag me into a political debate, communicating my message is too important.”
3) “It doesn’t matter if your soft-spoken, your words still have power.”
Kudos to these Heroes of Hope. It was my honor to share the morning with you.
Power and Women 2008
In the infamous words of the Pointer Sisters, “I’m so excited! And I just can’t hide it!”
Vibrant PR is proud to sponsor the 2008 Power and Women Cruise, a Sarah Zink Signature Training Experience.
Okay, so now that I read the lyrics to the song, perhaps not EXACTLY in the words of the Pointer Sisters, but the spirit is the same - extreme excitement!

New members of the Vibrant family!
Thanks to my involvement in eWomen Network I’ve been meeting some outstanding business professionals here in North Texas.
I am so proud to announce two new clients I will be working with in the coming months. And the coolest thing? I met them both at the same networking dinner in Dallas!
Rorree Tillman is a dynamic woman who is a successful entrepreneur, coach, business trainer and inspirational speaker. Rorree has signed with Vibrant PR in order to launch her brand and multiple programs for workplace wellness and business prosperity in the greater Dallas area. She’s had great success in Sacramento, CA and is excited about the opportunities here in North Texas. You’ll be hearing a lot more about this very talented lady.
I’ve also had the pleasure to meet with Jennifer Grunwald and Tracy Gomez with All About You Salon and Boutique in Plano, TX. These women have really tapped into a great niche in the cancer recovery assistance business. When I visited their salon I would have never thought of them as wig and mastectomy suppliers! Their dream has come alive in an adorable boutique that makes women going through cancer feel gorgeous. I am very pleased that we’ll be working on brand enhancement and a new, dynamic website to help tell their story across the country!
Welcome to the Vibrant family ladies. Here’s to a future full of vigor and energy!
