Here’s the newest graduating class of WonderBranding, flying with the “boy and the paper airplane” statue that David McInnis (that’s him in the red shirt, in the back row) has generously donated to Wizard Academy. Forevermore, they shall be known as “The Beautiful Right Minds.”
I enjoy each and every class I teach, but this one was special for me because my longtime blogging colleague Yvonne Divita flew all the way to Austin to attend the class. After years of online friendship, this was our first face-to-face meeting, and it was better than I could have imagined. Both Yvonne and fiancée Tom Collins (“the man, not the drink”) made this class an absolute joy, and they seem to have caught the Wizard Academy vibe.
Intense study, fabulous food and drink, and all-around merriment ensued, including two great sessions with Roy Williams. As I bid the group adieu last evening, they dragged their worn bodies across the courtyard to their rooms with giant smiles on their faces.
The next class of WonderBranding is scheduled for October (this is our annual Halloween edition). Will you be there?
I gotta sign up for one of these classes!

Michele, you are so right that this meeting was over the top -- for me and Tom, also. But, the seminar was over the top, too. I know a lot about marketing to women... it's part of what I do...but I LEARNED SO MUCH from you!
Our group helped me learn even more - there were excellent questions and so much exceptional interaction, I wish the two days could have lasted three or four.
Know that I will be back... and, I will be recommending this to a whole lot of my friends and colleagues.
Tell Roy he got our synapses firing... like crazy!
