Nugget of Knowledge
Creating Magic
"It's not the magic that makes it work; it's the way we work that makes it magic."
From the Book "Creating Magic" by Lee Cockerell
I have loved this book, written by a former Disney Executive, and continue to reread it. I am learning that great leadership isn't about mastering impossibly complex management theories. We can become better leaders by infusing quality, character, courage, enthusiasm, and integrity into our workplace and into our lives. It doesn't happen all at once and takes a great deal of consistent effort and WORK, but gradually the Magic begins to happen. -Amy

Do You Want an Increased Web Presence?
We have been working to update our website over the past few months and after completing the first stage we are now offering an increased online marketing opportunity. After improving the overall appearance and web compatibility of the site, as well as providing a better search engine ranking we have now added "Profiles". We are limiting this opportunity for the first 6 months to only 15 per category, to ensure better ROI.
Business Profiles Include
- 1500 words
- up to 5 images
- company logo
- contact information
- email and website links
- Added exposure with the profile is that your logo will also be prominently displayed on the right side of key web pages: 1) Local home page 2) Category page. (Category pages include: Housing, Homecare, and Community Resources)
Contact Meghan if you want to learn more, to see if a profile is a good fit for your business, or to take one of the 15 spots in your category before they are gone.
