Enjoy today's conversation with Allison James. Allison James is a contemporary abstract painter. James is continually inspired by the messy (but thrilling) human experience. Her work is fueled by personal events and memories, along with conversations overheard from strangers and inside storybooks. James reconfigures these felt emotions into a preferred outcome, translating feeling into her own abstracted storytelling. With this trio of internal processing, Allison is able to construct a new visual narrative of self through her paintings, each piece speaking with saturated color and subtle details. She uses her training as a representational artist and printmaker to build up her signature silhouettes with layers of thin paint, elusive details and recognizable shapes that she endearingly refers to as her ‘decoder ring things.' James believes a painting can be many things at once, just like people (and most things in life). The cathartic creation processes and making work that feels substantial within its own existence is what keeps her coming back for more. Allison believes her work as a mirror for all of us to see ourselves more clearly, with love and acceptance — all in due time. Allison James has a BFA in Painting, Printmaking and Drawing. She has been seen and featured in various media, including The New York Times, The Bad on Paper podcast, Architectural Digest, Medium, Midwest Living, and Atlanta Magazine. She has been in shows throughout the US and has work in private collections around the world. Allison currently works and lives in Georgia. https://www.allisonjamesco.com/ @the.allisonjames on Instagram

The Brokerage is our new company that Scott and I have started. We are no longer with Allison James, as we have decided to venture out on our own and start this new chapter.Our motto is “the story we create sells houses.” We are creating the story of what it would be like to live in a home. You are selling a house, but in the bigger picture, you are selling the community.Grova creative designed our new logo for The Brokerage, as well as the logo for Patty's Playhouse. These are two very different designs, that are both extremely well executed. Her talent can be used in innumerable ways, and our new design really shows how diverse our new company will be.As a realtor, you need to have a good relationship with your broker. So long as you do, you will get paid in full and on time. If you don't have a good relationship with them and you don't put in the necessary work, they are not required to pay you. A well-drawn out agreement, solid communication, and a strong relationship are the key to your paycheck.We opened this new company to invest in our clients. We wanted to provide top of the line services to those who come to us and trust us to sell their home or trust us to find them a home that matches their personality. But overall, we want to give back to our clients what they have given to us: their time and commitment.

Tom Fox is talking about purpose in this solo episode of the ESG Report. He shares insights from an HBR article, What Is The Purpose of Your Purpose written by Jonathan Knowles, Tom Hunsaker, Hannah Grove and Allison James, that talks about aligning your ESG program to your corporate purpose.  The Three Senses of Purpose The authors identify the three senses of purpose: competence, culture and cause. There are gaps in these senses that compliance officers must overcome: The cause competence gap - the lack of alignment with your business and why it exists. The competence culture gap - where the company is valued by its customers but treats its employees poorly through low wages or an intolerant environment. The culture cause gap - where the company has a clearly defined cause but employee engagement on that cause is very low. Finding Your Corporate Purpose The authors map out a five-step approach to finding your corporate purpose, and also remedying the sense gaps. Itemizing the types of interests for your ESG program, and getting those departments to work together, will be crucial in order to get them to buy into the ESG approach. Understanding the three senses of purpose and their advantages will help compliance officers develop a clear sense of business objectives. Asking questions about your organization's credibility to do good and bring value to society, will keep you focused on the bigger picture and help to ensure ethical behavior. By embedding purpose in corporate behavior, and from a bottom-up perspective, purpose can increase authenticity and engagement from the day-to-day experiences of customers and employees.  The Importance of Purpose Purpose can increase customers' preference for your products and services. Purpose can boost employee engagement. "The employees have to believe in your compliance program and do business in your compliance program by believing in it," Tom quotes. The purpose of your organization and your ESG program can help with this. Purpose and ESG can help reinforce a company's reputation as a good corporate citizen. Finally, purpose and ESG will allow you to respond to crises and risks in a timely manner, in ways that are impactful.  Resources Tom Fox email What Is The Purpose of Your Purpose

In this Community Chat, and with members of the Caribbean tech community, Allison James and Amit Uttamchandani, the panel discusses ICT and COVID-19 (the coronavirus): some of the challenges that are being experienced, ways it can be better leveraged, and emerging opportunities. We also discuss: Whether there would (or should) be a difference between how a business approaches what might be perceived as short-term interventions, such as having its employees telework, as opposed to if those measures are to remain in effect for several months? What might be some of the ICT infrastructure-related  challenges and considerations, in order to support remote working? Although considerable attention has been given to e-learning and equipping classrooms with computers/laptops/tablets, why does it appear that remote learning is still a challenge in some countries? Many of the terminal exams that shape the trajectory of people's lives, such as Grade 6/Common Entrance, O-levels, A-levels, should be occurring in May and June, but are being postponed. Are there options or solutions that could be considered?    Show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found at www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/ Do subscribe and leave us a review!
