Well, now we have a face

I wrote in the previous post about the challenges of defining what a consulting firm does for its customers.  Having solved that problem, I moved onto another.  How to represent myself?  Post a picture to the site or not?  Finally, I decided that since my business is very personal – and we pride ourselves on that connection with our customers, I should have a picture posted.  So, here is my first professional headshot.

This photo was taken by Gretje Ferguson (who is also a client of Brown Couch).  Gretje partners with a makeup artist to offer a business headshot special for $300.  Check Gretje’s blog for more info.

To most people, the idea of getting your picture taken can be daunting.  Especially if this image is to serve as your business profile.  I have to give Gretje a lot of credit.  Not only did she make me feel comfortable during the whole process, but she also captured the image that best represents how I view myself.  And for that,  I am very grateful.
