 I'd like to think that we all have heroes, that everyone out there, no matter how successful they are, takes the time to have someone to look up to and admire. John Lennon was always that hero to me. He lived by his own rules and made a mark that only grows stronger over time. A few years ago, I was lucky enough to meet his oldest son, Julian, and to share a deeply moving conversation about his dad and the work that he did - and to discuss the work that Julian has created through his charity, The White Feather Foundation.
The White Feather Foundation was started over 20 years ago and embraces environmental and humanitarian issues in conjunction with partners from all around the world, raising funds for a more sustainable, better world for every living being. White Feather has done everything from supporting artists to marching to end bullying to building an orphanage in Sri Lanka. One project at a time ... READ MORE |

Letter from Kelli
As the final days of 2012 draw year, I'm grateful to say this has been an exciting year for me. I've worked with over a dozen new clients and hit #1 on Amazon for the 2nd time. It's been difficult to watch as colleagues and friends saw their companies struggle to hit goals and succeed, or even go out of business. This was definitely one of the motivations for my book on Apple's best practices (The Magic and Moxie of Apple - An Insider's View). Why? I know from my own ten years at Apple that ANY company can create a turnaround with the right tools and the right people.
For this reason, I began offering 20-minute strategy session with leaders and colleagues interested in creating a crystal clear vision of what they want to create in the next year.
Engaging in the strongest professional alliances possible, uncovering hidden challenges that may be sabotaging the growth of your business, and creating renewed and inspired actions to make your company's success inevitable is what I bring as a coach and mentor. This starts with your 20-minute strategy session. After that, my coaching program begins in January to help you implement what you discover. There are no obligations to take the program, of course. The strategy session is my complimentary offering to you, as my colleague. I only have a handful of spaces left, however, so definitely fill out the quick questionnaire at http://appleinsidersecrets.com/assessment.php to claim your spot without delay - and my office will be in touch with you shortly.
As always, to your success!
Kelli Richards

At FutureSound, the focus is on finding solutions, common ground, and defining the future opportunity of the digital music market for the artist, entrepreneur and rights-holder alike. Both sides will be at the table and focus conversation with a goal towards results-oriented recommendations that Billboard will ultimately run as a cover story. http://www.billboardevents.com/futuresound  November 16,2012.

Quotable Colleagues
|
Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok - that we were all going to be ok - the message would come to me in the form of a white feather. Then something happened to me about ten years ago when I was on tour in Australia. I was presented with a white feather by an Aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. One thing for sure is that the white feather has always represented peace to me.
~ Julian Lennon, 2009
