Janie Morris: Vice President, Branding

What is your favorite occupation?
This is it.  I really enjoy creating and helping others to cultivate, develop and build strong brands. 

When and where are you happiest?
Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.  Seriously, life is too short to be a grouch. 

What is your current state of mind?
In the “Zone”– that state of being where everything is focused and working well. 

What is your greatest joy?
A long, hard workout.  I feel so strong, so confident and like there is nothing that can ever stop me now.

What hobbies do you have?
I am traning to complete my first half marathon in November 2008.  I love boats and water– row crew, do a little sailing.  A surprise to many– I have a huge vegetable garden that I enjoy and share all summer long.  And, I love kicking back with friends and a bottle of wine– sometimes a movie. 

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I would be more of a morning person.  There is something magical about that time of day when the sun rises, the world starts to wake– it’s all quiet and new.  I am just such a night owl!  There is a quiet calm that comes when the rest of the world goes to sleep… I sometimes get my best work does then.

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
Tough one… Today, I would say deciding to go back to school for my MBA.  Every day offers a new opportunity to do something great and achieve something.  I prepare for opportunities and do my best to make the most of it. 

What is your nickname?
Wobes, Cobaney, Shaker B, Bonnie… it changes often.  Oh, and Janie is a nickname. 

What is your favorite guilty pleasure?
The beach.  Need I say more?  

What is your motto?
Prepare so that the choice is yours to make.  Live strong… live well… live with conviction.  And, it’s okay to not be perfect.
