All We Do is "Win! Win! Win!" - No Matter What

It's been a week of zipping here and there with more meetings than I need to have because I just have so much fun meeting new and fascinating people.

It's been such a blessing connecting with the 'winners' I met this week - from hiring a new business consultant to managing brands for my clients through media relationships and partnerships - I am ever convinced "Teamwork makes the Dream-work!" Cliche'? Yes, but true and it's been my truth for many years now!  Always remember, Winners surround themselves with other Winners.  So, all I ever expect to do is win because I understand.

And with that, my Winner Spotlight today features:

Celebrity Cosmetic Surgeon and client, Dr. Nathaniel Johnson based in Atlanta was featured in Grazia Magazine talking celebrity cosmetics.  Magazine hits newsstands in the UK the week of February 21st!  Congrats Mr. "Hello Beautiful"!



I also met Style Maven and CEO of Blue Print For Style, Monica Barnett, an image consultant that writes for the likes of Lucky Magazine, My Jet 24 (JET Magazine), Neiman Marcus and Kenneth Cole, just to name a few.  This fashionista was recently featured in Essence.com blog written by lovely actress, Malinda Williams.  To see this Lady in action, check out the article here. I'm just happy to say I met ya and look forward to the future with ya!

And Celebrity Wedding Planner and Winner of The Knot's 2010 Best of Wedding Planner, Tia Ervin of Milestone Occasions and I had several phone conversations that girls just need sometimes!  I look forward to the Mom & Me Bridal Luncheon Tia and her company is putting on with the Marriott of Buckhead in Atlanta.  Did you know Tia Ervin appeared in three episodes of the 2009 season of "Get Married" on Lifetime Television with Colin Cowie? She shared her expertise on several wedding topics including ways to incorporate water into a ceremony as a unique expression of love.  Check out the episodes here!

Just paying homage to just a few of the WINNERS I met this week! GRATITUDE & GRACE!

It's called "Synergy"

Synergy in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently.  Read it again and allow it to sink in...


I'm realizing when things happen effortlessly without coercion, long, drawn out conversations and unnecessary negotiations it is DIVINELY orchestrated or synergistic.  That's what life has been like at T.MORRISON Agency since our re-launch in January and boy, does it feel like cloud 9!
It also pays to properly utilize resources and relationships!  As a publicist that eats, sleeps and breathes PR, I learn more and more each day about relationships, resources and the powerful tool of connecting - that's one of the major components of success!


Because of the above, a woman I had the privilege of working with also happens to blog for Essence.com.  I know what her interests are and it just so happen that parenting expert and T.MORRISON Agency client, Dr. Bisa was a perfect fit, so we're looking forward to having Dr. Bisa's Q&A featured soon!


Also, we're gearing up for some exciting events and began our media relations campaign on a couple of them and started getting calls back from media outlets - I'm working on securing a TV feature for the client. I'm telling you, THIS is what I live for and on the flip-side, I had to reach out to a media outlet interested in a client's PR crisis and I'm telling you, wisdom is of the essence here!  Learning quite a lot on this side of the PR-coin!


So then it was off to some 'synergistic' connections with my newly hired business consultant with a specialty in IP (Intellectual Property) law and man, did she SCHOOL ME! *thanking God & Angels now!* on how to strategically move forward protecting all my assets to continue my win/win. This woman has IT!  We were meeting at a cute lounge called the Cupcake Lounge in Grant Park (pics below), the atmosphere is sexy and the Red Velvet cupcakes - OMG, I must have DIED and went to angel cake heaven, seriously!  Taj is sweet and treated us very well!


Today, was another day of effortless synergy from a powerful meeting with Producer, Ashia & Host, October Rose at Friday Girl TV to exchange and brainstorm over great ideas with all of our clients to digging into the voicemails with callbacks. Giving praises and honor to WHOM it all belongs to!  I am truly living life like it's golden and it feels wonderful to grow with tastemakers with a purpose and an understanding of how to bring great energy and passion to the table that naturally creates SYNERGY!
