New Name, New Vision, New Mission
April 22, 2013 | Posted in Leading Hartfully, Living Hartfully | By Gaia Hart
Have you ever driven past a store-front and seen a canvas banner hanging in front of the old signage “Under New Management” and wondered what will change with the new management? Well. . . . consider this post to be my virtual canvas banner. We may look the same on some levels, but many new great things have taken place. We’re under new management, new name and new vision with a new mission. We’re shaking things up around here and we wanted to share the good news with our fans.
After lots of paperwork, forms, phone calls, re-writing of vision statements, mission statements, life purpose workshops and several trips abroad to ruminate on what the future should look like for moi; we are fully sailing under the new banner of GaiaHart.com. Funny how many people have divulged to me that they had changed their name or go by a nickname after I shared my name change story with them. . . quite fascinating, the name thing.
Still getting the details of websites, the blog now has a new facelift while dealing with other digital stuff and the old monikers of Gail Hahn and Funcilitators.com, but we are in full swing with a new personal name of Gaia Hart and doing business under my new name and continuing with BizBuilderCards.com. Rest assured the bits and bobs will be changed in the near future to match the new legal names.
What does this mean? It means I outgrew my old name, threw off the old persona, stepped up to a new potential with a new name: Gaia = Greek Godess of Earth Energy, and Hart = Heart stemming from the School of Love as evidenced in my life purpose created in my fingerprints. The Gaia Theory is that the Earth is self healing and that there is an interconnectedness to everything. I like that – the thought that we are all connected and healing together. It represents a spiritual growth and change in the mission and structure of my life and my work which represents my life purpose. . . . which is helping you find yours. . . .
My company name change from Fun*cilitators to my new personal name moves the energy from the focus on fun, teambuilding, and organizational training and keynote speaking to working with clients one-on-one in a personal or small-group setting to help you discover the art of living and leading Hartfully. Voila – a new mode of sharing my expertise in creating energy at all levels for leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. What this means for me is that I get to go deeper with each client and what it means for you is that you get my undivided attention to your needs. We get to pick the location of our working together and how we work together – completely customized to fit us both. Funcilitators.com served me well and served thousands of satisfied clients over the past 16 years and now it’s time for a change to better serve my clients with what they need most – personal attention and expertise to shine the light on their blind spots and ignite their energy to another level.
Stay tuned for what is to come. . . new designs, new programs, new ways to connect to your capacity. Our BizBuilderCards.com biz has expanded immensely in recent months. We’re now doing business cards, custom calendars, photo albums, canvas prints and more gourmet goodies to send your gratitude to those who matter in addition to our traditional custom cards, postcards and tri-panel cards. Why not test drive the Gratitude Challenge by sending 30 cards in 30 days to see how it changes your life and the lives of others with a simple connection and thoughtful word. . . brownies never hurt as a thoughtful gift either.
