Doctor C at State of Recovery

Kelly and Celeste and Doctor C at the State of Recovery Conference

My summer fun has included a trip to Florida with Doctor C for the State of Recovery Conference. My special guest? Celeste, my daughter, acting as Doctor C’s special assistant and director of social media. And my awesome traveling companion! We make a formidable Mother/Daughter duo, without question. Celeste is in college, preparing for a career in health care, so she was more than willing to meet and speak with the incredible people who dedicate themselves to helping people recover. We both learned a lot, attended some inspiring and educational workshops, and (hopefully) put on a worthwhile workshop of our own.

Kelly’s Workshop: Building Healthy, Sustainable Brands

I spoke to a room full of people from all areas of the recovery industry. The topic — building brands that will remain healthy and successful. They became especially engaged when I had them out of their seats and creating logos and taglines for a treatment center in Mill Valley, California, invented just for this presentation. Pretty great design and tagline concepts, for just having 15 minutes to do it! If you like, I will come out and do a custom version of my Healthy, Sustainable Branding workshop for your organization. Just ask.

Gift Card Giveaway

Congratulations to the winner of our Gift Card Giveaway… Dawn from Henrietta’s House! We had so many entries… too bad we could only have one winner.

Familiar Faces and New Connections

As always, we talked to hundreds of people. Some I knew, some are new friends and potential partners. I’m always inspired by the people I meet at these events, and am reminded and reassured that working for and partnering with people like this, and organizations like these, is a great decision.

Until Next Time

I can’t wait until our next conference, seminar, meeting, or conversation! Until then, I’ll leave you all with one of my favorite, one thing you should keep in mind pieces of wisdom — this healthy branding stuff works!
