TODAY'S VIP (VERY IMPORTANT POSE)

"I am alive, I am unique, & I am immutable, even as I grow & evolve. To truly live, however, I must express myself fully, & in this regard, I have much to give. But to do so, I need others, & am most productive with those who need me in return. To establish these relationships I must first be recognized for who I am, & it follows then that I will receive in accordance with what I give."

— Laurence Ackerman, a leading authority on organisational & personal branding; also author of 'Identity is Destiny: Leadership & the Roots of Value Creation' & 'The Identity Code: The 8 Essential Questions for Finding Your Purpose & Place in the World';
