Your former Executive Director, John Mott

Print

I am re-branding myself again. This time it is portrait drawing that is my chosen professional focal point. Through portraits I would like to offer people drawings and paintings by which to remember and cherish special people on special occasions.

When I was the Executive Director of BCCD lots of people encountered me in that role and reasonably assumed that that was all I did, in spite of my discreet efforts to promote viaction (my consultancy). When I stepped down in 2007 I found that few people knew that I had been working for half my time as a leadership development consultant internationally and that I now intended to revert to full-time work in this field. Re-branding myself from BCCD to viaction, was particularly challenging. Of course, just as I am still active in BCCD, I am still available for leadership development and other services.

Now my brand focus is portrait drawing and I have an initial offer for commissions at www.johnmott.dk. So why not buck the digital trend? Have a classic framed portrait drawn that can be hung on the wall as a permanent reminder or celebration of a person at a particular moment in their life. In business this can be at retirement, with promotion, on leaving or to mark a significant achievement. Privately there are a multitude of occasions to capture in a portrait, like commemorating a “studenterhue”.

The self-portrait here is an example of what I do. Visit www.johnmott.dk and see some other examples, and then simply e-mail me a photo from which to work and I’ll hope to get right onto it. Sitting still is not necessary.
