Today I’m involved in the Color Marketing Group’s New Member Training so not much time to post.
I love to meet new members and hear all about their Views on Hues.

Last week I had planned to have a “quiet week in the office” or at least that’s what I had put on my calendar several weeks ago. I’ve been on the run since mid-June and needed a little time to re-group but sometimes opportunities pop up that are just too fun to let pass by.

I spoke yesterday at the Inter-Society Color Council along with several others and it turned out to be a day where I was both imparting and absorbing knowledge.
Robert Buckley, Xerox and ISCC President had a few opening remarks and then one of my colorful friend’s Leslie Harrington, Executive Director of Color Association of the US dove right into her talk. I was Leslie’s Vice Chair last year for the CMG conference and I shared the stage with her again today as she talked about “The reds of love and rage: A note on the risks of eliciting negative emotions” and I talked about “Macro moods to industry insight”. Maybe I can get Leslie to join me on a webinar to share her study of red very soon.
Next up was “A retrospective on the color courses of Ralph Stanziola” by Kim Galloway.

I don’t think there was anyone in the room that didn’t have their eyes glued to the screen as Kim played clips of Ralph in action.

So often I am asked by people not only about what I do but how I gained the skills to become a color professional.
With a fine arts degree and years of product development, management and marketing behind me I had a great foundation but when I decided to pursue solely work with color I know I needed to learn the ins and outs from a color professional who was already successful in the field.
I didn’t want to learn from just anyone. I went straight to the leading expert in the field, Leatrice Eiseman and if you are interested in pursuing color consulting or adding skills that can enhance a related field I recommend you do the same.
Learn more about Lee’s color classes as well as why I give it my personal recommendation– Learning from Leatrice Eiseman
