00:00:02

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: This meeting is being recorded.

00:00:05

Barbara Layton: Hello.

00:00:08

James Redenbaugh: Hey, guys.

00:00:09

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Hey, James. How you doing?

00:00:13

James Redenbaugh: Doing well. How are you?

00:00:15

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Fine.

00:00:17

James Redenbaugh: Pretty good.

00:00:19

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: That's good. I probably giggling.

00:00:24

Barbara Layton: Those are some great colors behind you.

00:00:27

James Redenbaugh: Thank you. Thanks.

00:00:28

Barbara Layton: Very cool.

00:00:30

James Redenbaugh: This lamp broke. It only does colored light now, but I kind of like it.

00:00:36

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: You know what I have in my house?

00:00:38

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, what do you have, Barbara?

00:00:42

Barbara Layton: I have those. When it starts getting dark, I put those red. Those very low red lights on in my house, you know, so it just stays with the. Your own circadian rhythm and whatnot. Oh, they're very, very cool.

00:00:59

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Yeah, we do that. We do that, too. It's not natural to have lights above eye level after dark.

00:01:06

Barbara Layton: Right. Exactly.

00:01:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Oh, really? Above eye level. I didn't know that.

00:01:11

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, because we're used to, like, candlelight and campfires and things like that.

00:01:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Interesting. So you just get lights that are.

00:01:19

James Redenbaugh: Lower and warmer, you know, warm.

00:01:25

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, because I. Right above me.

00:01:28

Barbara Layton: Those red lights are supposed to be really good. They're just. They calm the entire house down. As soon as it gets dark, those go on. So everything is just very quiet, mellow.

00:01:39

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Wow. I gotta get some.

00:01:41

Barbara Layton: No bright lights here at night. No, no. Absolutely not.

00:01:45

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: But then I'm always on my computer and my phone, so I get, like, the blue light.

00:01:49

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Mine, I. I just push my action button, and it makes everything orange. So.

00:01:58

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Your action button, where is that?

00:02:00

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Newer phones have this.

00:02:02

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. I have an older phone.

00:02:03

Barbara Layton: Well, I have a five, James.

00:02:05

James Redenbaugh: Oh, no. Five.

00:02:06

Barbara Layton: Look at my little phone. This is my little baby. I love it. I love it so much.

00:02:12

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: That's amazing that everything still works. Like, you don't have to upgrade.

00:02:17

Barbara Layton: I never lose contact. It's fabulous. It's so good.

00:02:21

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: That's good that they don't force us to get rid of our old phones. At least we can still use them. I have an 11, 211. Because I don't want any newer because of 5G. Like, I'm so sensitive to electromagnetic and all that.

00:02:35

James Redenbaugh: So you can turn it off. You don't have to use that.

00:02:38

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: It won't. But it won't still. Because somebody said you still get, like, some of the 5G, even if it's not on.

00:02:43

James Redenbaugh: Well, you get it whether you have a phone or not, but if you turn it off on your phone, you won't be getting it from your phone at all.

00:02:51

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Coming. Oh, okay. Well, that's good to know. Well, I just got another 11 because Desiree, her talk said don't get anything beyond 11 for that reason.

00:02:59

Barbara Layton: So anyway, no, I'm Happy, very happy with my little baby phone because I don't use it for a computer. I just use it for calls. It's perfect.

00:03:11

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah.

00:03:12

James Redenbaugh: Nice.

00:03:12

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: And for your email and everything. Right.

00:03:14

Barbara Layton: You can get easy.

00:03:17

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I have. I have too many phones, but I have a. When I travel, I travel with my. My big one. But then I also have an old little one that doesn't have, like, any apps and, you know, is just for messaging and communication. So I can disconnect more and just have.

00:03:40

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: That makes sense. Like a flip phone.

00:03:43

James Redenbaugh: A dumb phone.

00:03:44

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, that's good. We had to be forced to disconnect by not bringing our phones. Right.

00:03:51

James Redenbaugh: I found my old flip phone the other day, actually. Oh, did my. Oh, no, sorry. I'm having all these camera issues. I gotta swap the battery out. But in the meantime, why don't we talk about your guys's website? I'm curious about your thoughts on the last update.

00:04:18

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. So I just made a bunch. Thank you. Thank you so much because we could tell that you worked really hard on getting that together. So we really appreciate that, all the effort you put into it.

00:04:31

Barbara Layton: And I just want to say one quick thing. And, you know, it's not easy, like, all of us coming together and collaborating on, you know, what we like, what we don't like. It's, you know, it's definitely challenging, you know, even for Diane and I. James, for sure, you know, you have different tastes. We have to make compromises all along the way, you know, Or I'll go. Or you go.

00:04:59

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Either way, I. I just have a whole bunch. I think it's probably better. Well, I can go through them, but I can send you them as well, just so you have them. Just so you see. And I didn't have a lot of time to go over it, so I, you know, I want to look at it again, but I could just go through what I have. I know Barbara and I were thinking maybe just. And we just talked briefly before the call, but just the order. Like to change the order a little bit, so. And I have this written down, so you don't have to write it down, but, you know, start with say one thing.

00:05:35

Barbara Layton: Sure, James. What I want to say first, right off the top is I love how you explained synergy. You just. You nailed it. Nailed it, nailed it. And you just brought me right in. I mean.

00:05:50

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I. Yeah, that was nice.

00:05:52

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I loved it. I mean, I just imagined, you know, one or two of the board members looking at it, you know, because they would always say, what is synergy? Like how do you explain it? But you just, you got that. So I just want to thank you for that.

00:06:06

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And I like how you had why synergy matters now. That's really nice. Yeah, there's a lot of nice areas. So. Yeah. So we were thinking, so starting what is synergy? And then synergy starts with connection. So bringing that up a little bit, bringing that after what is synergy? And then why synergy matters now, and then how we source synergy and then become a source of synergy and then the rest, you know, the logos and stuff.

00:06:41

Barbara Layton: I just thought that made a little more sense in maybe not in colors, because I see what you do with the colors. You go light, dark, you really do a lot of beautiful contrasts. But just in terms of, like, cohesiveness with the messaging. I thought maybe that that order would be a little. Maybe a little better or, you know, let us know what you think about that.

00:07:05

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: But the synergy starts with connection. That does. Oh, well, actually, if we have the definition of synergy and then synergy starts with connection, that's okay. Because then blue, you know, it's like blue and then light and then blue again. Right.

00:07:19

Barbara Layton: That's a great graphic also.

00:07:23

James Redenbaugh: This image.

00:07:24

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. Yeah.

00:07:26

James Redenbaugh: Isn't it?

00:07:26

Barbara Layton: Absolutely beautiful. I love.

00:07:28

James Redenbaugh: You know, I was, I was thinking like, how to represent the meta crisis in the world, but also the beauty of this moment in time. And we could either go really extreme and have a complicated illustration that tries to say everything, or the simplicity of, like this, you know, I don't even know what to call the geologic formation, but this river, these rivers spreading over water and there's kind of like a decay, but there's a beauty to it. And there's you know, things changing in the world. We want to get.

00:08:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. Literally about climate change as well, you know, like it. Yeah. It makes you really question speaks.

00:08:15

Barbara Layton: It speaks right to the heart.

00:08:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: I like it a lot.

00:08:18

Barbara Layton: Yeah, it's very, very beautiful.

00:08:21

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah.

00:08:22

James Redenbaugh: Awesome. I'm glad you like it. And I think it's a good idea to put this under the, the definition section, because this, this section speaks more to the source of synergy and what you guys are doing with synergy and your purpose for being.

00:08:42

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:08:44

James Redenbaugh: And so that makes sense. And you know, the blue section can work well there. And, and then you said then this should be below that.

00:08:55

Barbara Layton: So what is synergy then? Synergy starts with connection and then followed by why synergy matters now.

00:09:03

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So then you have two blues. So that might be a lot of blue there.

00:09:06

James Redenbaugh: Well, we can just Invert the. You know, it's easy enough to change the colors.

00:09:11

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And then those colors I like on why Synergy Matters, it really pops out. I think it looks really good.

00:09:19

Barbara Layton: So, yeah, after why Synergy Matters now and then followed by how we source energy and then become a source of synergy.

00:09:32

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Cool. And then the rest. Right.

00:09:39

Barbara Layton: Which Diane, I'll let you address.

00:09:42

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, Well, I took some time, so when you scroll down for me, it. And maybe because my computer is old, it takes a bit long for the next box to show up. So I don't know if it's just my computer is slow or there's something you can do about that, because blank. And then it pops in.

00:10:03

James Redenbaugh: Oh, you mean the animation.

00:10:05

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: No, not the animation. Just like, even the different sections, like when I'm scrolling down my computer, you know how one takes a second to pop in? So, yeah, so it was a little slow on that level. So I don't know if there's anything you could do about that.

00:10:22

James Redenbaugh: Slower than what you're seeing here?

00:10:28

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yes. Yeah, you're. You're able to see it right away. For me, it just took a little bit of time for the next section to pop up.

00:10:37

James Redenbaugh: It might just be loading because it's the first time loading the page, and.

00:10:43

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, it seems like a loading issue.

00:10:45

James Redenbaugh: I haven't optimized all the images yet.

00:10:48

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah.

00:10:49

James Redenbaugh: So when they're all optimized, things will load faster.

00:10:52

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. Okay, so in the navigation bar, if you can just try to make sources. Synergy a little bit bigger and the logo a little bit bigger. Can you put that like a font? You want to do. You want to do these changes as we're saying them, or you want to just send. We'll send them to you.

00:11:10

James Redenbaugh: No, you can send them to me, and my AI is listening and will give me a second list.

00:11:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, but I have a list, and I put each section, and you can go through each section. So the evolutionary leaders is missing on the navigation bar. Remember last week we talked about adding that?

00:11:27

James Redenbaugh: Oh, yeah. What happened to that? Mm.

00:11:31

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. And then that could just go directly to the page. And then the opening banner. Okay, so we see it differently. Like, on my computer, I see the word Source of Synergy foundation, like on the graphic, but on the phone, we see it underneath the words. So how do you have it?

00:12:00

James Redenbaugh: I need to massage things on the phone. So the mobile version needs some attention.

00:12:11

Barbara Layton: James, it actually looks good on the phone.

00:12:14

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, we like the way it looks because it looks underneath, like. So you actually see the whole graphic and then you see source of Synergy Foundation.

00:12:22

James Redenbaugh: Like this.

00:12:23

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, like that.

00:12:24

Barbara Layton: Yes, exactly.

00:12:25

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, we like that. So. Because it was a little hard to read on it, you know, like the.

00:12:31

James Redenbaugh: Foundation in particular, I'll move the text down and make the graphic a bit smaller so there's not much.

00:12:39

Barbara Layton: That's great. Yeah, it looks really terrific on the phone.

00:12:43

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Awesome. Great.

00:12:45

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. And then our mission statement should. Is missing. Right. So maybe it could be under this piece somewhere. I mean, we don't want it to look too crowded, so I don't know where it should go. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's where we could put, like, maybe when we said we had two blue sections, maybe we can put it in between, you know, with the lighter background.

00:13:17

James Redenbaugh: I took it out of this section because it was a lot of text. And I wonder, maybe it should just go on the about page.

00:13:26

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: I think it needs to be on the home page, actually. Like, I think they need to see it kind of early on because they need to know what our foundation is about, you know, because we could tell them what synergy is about. We can tell them why it's important. But it's a website for our organization, so I really think it needs to be somewhere early on on the homepage.

00:13:50

Barbara Layton: You know, it might not be a bad idea on the about page. I had thought of that also. Maybe, you know, as a. As a possibility, but, you know, play with it and see.

00:14:01

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, that's one thing I feel pretty adamant about, that it needs to be on the homepage. I mean, it is. You know, they need. I think people need to say, who is this organization? Oh, this is their mission, you know. Okay, now I get them the vision statement. Fine, that's fine on the about page, because that's more information. But the mission.

00:14:22

Barbara Layton: Find a spot for it.

00:14:26

James Redenbaugh: What if we put it in a small white section between these two sections now that they're next to each other?

00:14:34

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, that's fine. Wait, but does it. The flow make sense? So that's. Synergy starts with connection. Okay. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. We could put that in like a. A white section underneath, like a banner to just separate the blue. That's a good idea. Yeah, yeah, like our mission and then why synergy matters, you know, then I think that's okay. I felt overall, like, on, like, how we. If you could put the W and we like a capital, like house, resource, energy.

00:15:10

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:15:12

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: But the font is very small, so I would just put up, like, at least a notch on all these, like, descriptions. And even up there so let me see here. Oh, and the ecological synergy, I kind of rewrote it to make it more general to ecological. So I'll send that to you and you'll see what I have. But it's still similar to what you wrote. It's just a little bit more expansive. So I'll send that to you.

00:15:50

James Redenbaugh: I'm worried about the font size because it's already pretty large. Do you increase the. The font size, the default font size in your browser?

00:16:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Because. No, I didn't. I just. I don't know. I wouldn't even know how to do that. I mean, I just opened it up and then I saw. And my. My reading is really good, so I have, like, perfect, you know, reading vision. So I just felt like it was just too hard. Like it was kind of a struggle for me to read a lot of things on the site. So.

00:16:43

James Redenbaugh: Maybe it's the size of your screen, because everything does respond. So I. I can increase the minimum font size so even on smaller screens it doesn't get too.

00:16:58

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, maybe just one point if it. Yeah, yeah, because if some people are seeing it and they have bad eyes, it's going to be really hard for them to. To read it.

00:17:09

James Redenbaugh: But it. It. The font's accessible, so it will respond to accessibility features. So people with low vision do tend to increase their default font size and. And it will scale to that, but.

00:17:22

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Then they have to increase it like.

00:17:25

James Redenbaugh: Themselves, just on their browser, which they usually do.

00:17:32

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, maybe just try to move it up like a font, like one point, you know, like font, and just see if that helps. But one thing on the synergy definition, under the noun under number three, I would just take out. And I have this all written for you. Interaction of discrete agencies such as industrial firms, agents, such as drugs, and then the word. Or I would just start with conditions such that the total effect is greater than the sum of individual efforts.

00:18:05

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, that's. That makes more sense. Should I leave the synergism in parentheses or take that out as well?

00:18:16

Barbara Layton: I actually like it.

00:18:19

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, it's okay. I'm neutral about that. Whatever you think.

00:18:24

James Redenbaugh: Cool. It sounds. It's a synonym for synergy in it.

00:18:28

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I never heard of it, but it's cool. Yeah. Okay. So where are we? So why synergy matters? Looks good. How we source synergy. Okay. Okay. And I, I would bold, like, bring visionaries together, catalyzing collaboration, engagement, communicating synergy. You know, maybe. Yeah, I would bold that so it pops out more and our moment of choice. The video is really good. For that book. So it would be nice if somehow we had the video on there, you know, So I don't know. I mean, of course we want the book, the picture of the book, which is good, but I don't know if we want to put that somewhere else, like, so they can just click on the video. Because it's like, maybe it goes with one of the other sections or, you know, maybe under why Synergy Matters Now. Because people are saying it's our moment of choice. Well, that's just. Greg, that's. That's not the one. It's the one underneath. Yeah, that one. So it's actually a really good video and it's her first book, so. Yeah. So is humanity ready for the next big leap? So it was produced really well.

00:20:03

James Redenbaugh: You could put this in its own section.

00:20:06

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah.

00:20:07

James Redenbaugh: On the homepage. It could go after here. Kind of breaking up these two sections.

00:20:16

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. Or maybe why Synergy Matters now, because we're saying it's our moment of choice, and this is why it's our moment of choice. So maybe it kind of would fit, like, either before that. Or maybe we can say it's our moment of choice and then have the video and then. Why Synergy Matters Now. Like, something like that.

00:20:40

Barbara Layton: Yeah. I thought it was like switching out the order of, you know, all of those projects. Evol. I don't. I lost my. My notes are in the other room.

00:20:52

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. I could move this. This could be last. And then we have a section with the. With the video. So it's obviously. Yeah, that's a good idea, referring to this. Or we just have a section about the book and we don't have a card here for our moment of choice.

00:21:13

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, I think it's fine to have the book because people can still buy the book and link onto that website, you know, our moment of choice dot com. But I'm just thinking, like, can the video just inspire them, you know, like in some way, some prominent way. Because that's, you know, that's why Synergy matters now. Because we're at a time in our evolution that it is our moment of choice. We can go this way or that way. And so if we do it in synergy, that's great. So that's why I'm thinking, like, should we have it close to why Synergy Matters now? And we could just say it's our moment of choice and then show the video and then why Synergy Matters Now? So because we needed something to fill in, in between so we could put our mission statement and then Maybe under the mission statement, have the video. Just because we have no videos or anything. So it just kind of will. Yeah, you know, I think it will animate the site a little bit.

00:22:13

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I think it should go mission statement here. And then we create a. A new section right here with the book and the video and the text. Our moment of choice and nice explanation. The section on Thomas Huble's site is a good precedent for this. He's got a nice book. That's nice book section there. And then we go into how we source synergy.

00:23:05

Barbara Layton: That could look really good, actually.

00:23:06

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, that would be good.

00:23:08

Barbara Layton: And it's spacious enough.

00:23:10

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that'd be really nice. Okay.

00:23:20

James Redenbaugh: And then this could be just these three things.

00:23:23

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, actually, we wanted to say. Because it's more than that, because we want to put our new programs on the homepage. So the Evolutionary Partners network is active. So I think we should put that on the homepage too. But the multi dimensional explorations and the health and wellness and the Journeys, I don't know. I mean, we have a nice graphic for the journeys, but maybe those four should go on the homepage because we want to kind of feature what we're doing or what we're planning on doing. And then some of the other ones are, you know, could go on the next page. So I have this all written down, you know, so you don't have to worry too much about that.

00:24:13

James Redenbaugh: I'm just worried about it becoming too busy on the home page.

00:24:17

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:24:18

James Redenbaugh: And you might, you know, you can always move things around later. Also you might want to add the. Because the multidimensional. Exploration and the health and wellness, these are things that you're planning, but there's no call to action for them yet.

00:24:37

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: No call to action, but we definitely want to feature them because they're new projects and we want them to get attention. So we definitely want those on the web on the homepage, the Journeys. I think we could probably just keep on the synergizing page because, you know, when. Even though I love that picture, I mean, that would be nice on the homepage. And also on the homepage we should have the Edge and the call to conscious evolution, because those are two things that I don't think we have them right on the homepage because those are two things people can sign up right away to do. So like right now we have the call to conscious evolution on our homepage and I think we have the Edge. But the Edge should be.

00:25:34

James Redenbaugh: I would do the Edge, but I would wait to do the call to conscious evolution until you guys figure out the spam stuff. Because when you go here right now it's just a bunch of Russian.

00:25:49

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. Deborah tries to clean that up. Yeah. But we've always had it on there because we want to get over 50,000. So we're almost there. We've always had it on our homepage. We've always had it on the homepage because it's answering the call. It's something they could do, you know.

00:26:09

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:26:10

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So I can ask Jen to clean it up. So I think we should have it and we can just get her to clean it up.

00:26:16

Barbara Layton: Why can't that go under synergizing?

00:26:19

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Because it's. It's one thing that we actually have for the public to act, to do, to sign on themselves.

00:26:26

Barbara Layton: They can, they'll get to that.

00:26:29

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, but sometimes they don't go to inside, you know, they don't. You know, it's just nice if it's prominent.

00:26:37

Barbara Layton: Yeah, it's. I think it just gets tricky because home page is going to get very, very crowded.

00:26:42

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: But maybe we can have the project set up differently. Like maybe we can have four in a row on a row, the same row, and then have like four more. Like me.

00:27:08

James Redenbaugh: It also takes people off of the site.

00:27:15

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: When they sign or sign up.

00:27:18

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:27:18

James Redenbaugh: When they go over here to sign up for the call.

00:27:21

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:27:24

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, yeah, that's true. All right, well, okay. However you think.

00:27:34

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I mean, I know for me, once I get off the site, sometimes I'm just not going back on it.

00:27:39

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, that's true. Okay, so under synergy circles, that's not the definition of synergy circles. So I wrote a definition of synergy circles. And I think we have to have some way to mention, like, all of the evolutionary leaders synergy circles, because, like, if a funder goes to this, they need to know that we've done a lot, you know, And I know we said there is that problem with, you know, people can't join the synergy circles, but they need to see because this is going to be kind of like our calling card, right. When we seek funding. So they need to see that. We started like, I don't know, almost 30 synergy circles and collaboratories. So I don't know if there's a way we can feature them. I mean, we could do the Kumo map, but it couldn't be live because then it goes to. This is the contact person to join the circle to say something like, we've seeded all of these circles, you know, and then have the Kumu map, like, so they can actually see the different circles. But the. That page, the, you know, the start of Synergy circle page. Well, I don't know. Do you want to go through it in order or how should we do this? You wanted me to talk about that page or.

00:29:14

James Redenbaugh: Well, we're here now. We can talk about this one.

00:29:18

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So that's the. Get involved right here.

00:29:22

James Redenbaugh: I turned on all of them. It just. I think it's cool to see them all. Maybe we could put them in, like, two concentric circles and, you know, it's.

00:29:40

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:29:43

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Go ahead, Barbara.

00:29:44

Barbara Layton: I just. I like the way you have it. You know, maybe two would work, but I like. It looks very clean.

00:29:54

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, but the point is. Yeah, I mean, it does look clean, but the point is that we have to show them what we've done, you know, like, let's say a funder came to this page. You know, do they get the full extent of what we've achieved? You know, like, if we show all the synergy circles, I think they'll be more impressed because there's so many different topics and.

00:30:15

Barbara Layton: Oh, yeah, if we could fit them all on. Can we.

00:30:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, like, if there's some way.

00:30:21

Barbara Layton: And do that and keep it clean at the same time without it, you know.

00:30:26

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And then again, like, it needs. Yeah, and the, like, the titles need to be bigger because you. You shouldn't have to really, you know, you should just be able to see. See the. You know, what they are easily, because I'm just struggling a lot with the small font. And then this page is really supposed to be a. A call to the public to become a source of synergy in their homes and schools and community workplace. So we had some text around that that I just put in the notes so we could put that, like, on the top. Become a source of synergy. It only takes coming together in the synergy circle with one or more person around an area of interest or concern, you know, that type of thing. Like, there needs to be some setup to what they're seeing. And then, you know, start a synergy circle. Find out how. Like in. On the homepage, there was one section. I forget what the section was, but I think we should put that there. Like, you know, start a synergy circle. Find out how it. Click, and then it goes here, you know, to this page, and then this part. I don't know, maybe we could just design it a little bit more, like, compelling and have maybe some graphics or. And did you want to put Synergy Spaces, Barbara? And the Synergy hub. And do we want to Neither.

00:31:58

Barbara Layton: I mean, I'd like. I'd like to keep it as clean and clear as possible. And I actually like the, you know, the. The invitation the way it is. It's just very clean and very easy to read and follow.

00:32:14

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, but we don't say anything to the public to start a synergy circle in your school or workplace or community. I mean, how would they know?

00:32:22

Barbara Layton: Just add that someplace.

00:32:24

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I was thinking of adding that sentence just above this so they know we're talking to them, you know, like that. That's what this page is about, like, for them to get involved. So I even think, like, the synergy circle vision is a little bit secondary. You know, I mean, we could say these are all the circles that, you know, we created. And it's not just the evolutionary leader circles. We had other circles on the evolutionary leaders.net synergy circles page on the bottom is all the synergy circles that are not evolutionary leaders. Synergy circles like the Finhorn and others. But. Yeah, so how can we really be clear to them that this is about an invitation, you know, to them? So. Yeah, maybe it's just a sentence or so.

00:33:14

Barbara Layton: Yes. Or something like, ready to ignite the power of synergy in your schools, community, whatever the heck it is.

00:33:22

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I have that in the notes. So we still keep it.

00:33:25

Barbara Layton: But still keep it super clean the way, you know, like. Like this, this, this. When I read this, it makes it easy for me to start a synergy circle. I look at it and it's like, okay, I can do this. It's not, you know, convoluted. It's not difficult. It's just. It looks easy. Easy and clean.

00:33:49

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Can you put also the font underneath? Higher as well, like under, like, let's say one. You know, the clarity of intention is fine, but then the. Then the bottom part, I was struggling to read as well. So.

00:34:02

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, I've increased all the great quantizes on the site.

00:34:10

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And then underneath this in the notes, you know, when I put all the one to seven there was know that you are part of a constellation of circles moving towards planetary coherence. So just like this sense of we're talking to them, you know, on this page. Okay, so I have that. I have that in the notes. All right, so you don't want to do the synergy spaces and Hub, we'll just take that off. Barbara, I'll take that out of my notes.

00:34:42

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I think so.

00:34:43

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Okay. So the donate area. Just wondering if we could, like, Put a graphic or two there. Like maybe this circle, something to like spice up the page a little bit. And it also doesn't work. Maybe you didn't get it. You know, it doesn't, it doesn't go anywhere. So maybe you have to activate that Tara PayPal so we can give you that information.

00:35:16

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:35:18

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: And then it says thank you for your submissions. And it's in white, so it's almost hard to read. So maybe you could put in.

00:35:24

James Redenbaugh: Well, it's going to get replaced with the PayPal thing anyway.

00:35:27

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Yeah. But just the, the thank you for your submission. That is hard. Was hard to read. Like if you put a dollar in and you get like a.

00:35:37

James Redenbaugh: This whole thing is going to get replaced anyway with the.

00:35:40

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, good. Oh, okay, great.

00:35:43

James Redenbaugh: Going to be a PayPal widget.

00:35:45

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Great. So maybe we can go back to the home page. Like, so we had some other information to share, So. Yeah.

00:36:02

Barbara Layton: Yeah. You don't like that graphic, right?

00:36:05

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I don't like this section and it does. On the phone it does something funny. But I don't know. Can you do another stab at redesigning this section? Because the graphics, like, Barbara doesn't like the light bulb and the spark and I don't like the hands. So maybe we can just keep it.

00:36:23

James Redenbaugh: Simple with the text.

00:36:24

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, yeah. I mean, just something different because also when like it was moving too fast and also when I tried to hit the arrow, it wasn't moving. So disconnected with the icons. I would just take that off, like maybe just redesign the whole thing. I liked what you wrote. I thought how you, you know, changed that language was really good. So. Yeah. I don't know if you have any ideas on how to make this section a little bit more, I think just.

00:36:53

James Redenbaugh: A simple three column thing.

00:36:56

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I do. I do like the way you keep it alive though. You, you really bring an aliveness to it, you know, to the whole, the whole thing, you know, connect, create, ignite, rather than have it having it be stagnant, you know.

00:37:13

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So how would you suggest he may change it?

00:37:17

Barbara Layton: Oh, why don't I leave that to James?

00:37:22

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, maybe that's something they have to like. Yeah. Because when I tried to hit the arrow, it didn't go to the next one and then it was too fast. I don't know. But I would just try to come up with different pictures maybe and take out these little icons. Connect, create, ignite. I would just take out that part. And you know, I personally liked. Oh, gosh, this is a deja vu. You know how you have A deja vu. I personally liked how you had it before, which just seemed elegant, you know, with the blue, with the background. I don't know if you can see this, but Barbara doesn't like that as much as something more designed, so. I like it.

00:38:02

Barbara Layton: I like it. It was just a little too stagnant for me. This. This just brings it all very alive for me.

00:38:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, then maybe it could be something like, if you like it moving, you know, connect could come in. The word connect could come in with the sentences and maybe like a different graphic, and then the next word comes in, you know, create and then ignite. I don't. I don't know, just something different, like.

00:38:30

Barbara Layton: The images that bothered you for the most part. Right.

00:38:33

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, you said you didn't like the light bulb. Right. And you wasn't crazy about the other ones I liked. Yeah, well, you said you didn't like the ignite so much, and I didn't like the hand one so much, so. But I don't. I don't know. I just feel like this part really has to talk to people, like you're asking, become a source of synergy, you know? So that's why I was thinking maybe there's people. But I know with iStock, you know, that doesn't always look good with people, so I don't know. But if you could just maybe try a couple designs for this part, you know, and. And we can.

00:39:09

Barbara Layton: It's got to be. Yeah, it's got to be inspirational. It's got to inspire. It's got to set that spark when you're looking at it, which this definitely attempts to do. Maybe switch it out a little bit.

00:39:23

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And then I think it needs to go. There has to be a link to the get involved page. So they know. Okay. This is how I could start a synergy circle, you know, so it could be. Maybe find out how. You know, you could start a synergy circle, you know, and then they link to that page.

00:39:42

Barbara Layton: So.

00:39:42

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, I have all this written in the, you know, my notes, which I'll send you. So. Okay, so then the next one is the source effect. Can you.

00:39:53

James Redenbaugh: I could. I was playing with this for another project. The section could have these animated lines coming in around connect, create, ignite, but in your brand colors.

00:40:16

Barbara Layton: What would that look like?

00:40:20

James Redenbaugh: It would look like these. They would follow the mouse, and so.

00:40:27

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: If you didn't move your mouse, would it stop moving or.

00:40:30

James Redenbaugh: No, if you don't move the mouse, they just do their own thing. They're kind of alive.

00:40:40

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, what about something where the words come in, you know, like connect, create. Yeah, that's ignite, you know, And I'm not sure, like. Yeah, I'm not sure about this. It's a little dizzying, I think. What do you think, Barbara?

00:41:00

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I'm not wild about it, James. I like the movement, but yeah.

00:41:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. So I don't know. We trust you to come up with a design. It's the happy medium.

00:41:15

Barbara Layton: You can do it, James.

00:41:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, you can do it, James. You can do it. We're almost there. We're almost there. Okay, so then the source effect, that area we kind of like the green and the blue. Sorry, the tan background, that's kind of nice contrast. But the color black with this graphic I'm personally not fond of. I don't know if we can.

00:41:47

James Redenbaugh: Should it be more the dark blue?

00:41:50

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, I don't think it will go with the green. Do you. I mean, maybe try it as a green green. Like whatever. You have color on the top of this. Maybe try that as the background.

00:42:06

Barbara Layton: Cyan doesn't like the black.

00:42:07

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I don't like black at all. But also, do you remember that? Can you see this? Are you able to see that?

00:42:16

James Redenbaugh: Yeah.

00:42:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. That was a slightly different graphic than this. I actually prefer this one. I sent you a text of that one. I don't know if you still have that, but it's like a smaller circle and it has more like of the spokes. Can you swap that out for that one? But can you try like maybe. Or I don't even know if you need. Do you need that? I guess you do because of the colors. Some contrast color, right?

00:42:46

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. Here it is as just a solid color blue background.

00:43:05

Barbara Layton: No.

00:43:05

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, no, try it with like the kind of the color that you have on the top, like the light green and see what that looks like.

00:43:16

James Redenbaugh: Okay.

00:43:17

Barbara Layton: No, it was the. Something that contrasts. The black just contrasted really well. But can't use the black.

00:43:36

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And I think the font was too small on this too. Like a smaller font.

00:43:42

James Redenbaugh: M.

00:44:19

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: I was just.

00:44:19

Barbara Layton: I was actually just thinking of that color the second that's the green. Yeah, I was just thinking of the gray.

00:44:28

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Green. Yeah, it's like a green.

00:44:30

Barbara Layton: Like a grayish.

00:44:34

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: It's okay, but. But I wonder, can you make the inner colors more vi. Or maybe if you use that other graphic, you can see it better, you know, because it has more lines. Right. There's not too much. Did you have that other graphic?

00:44:51

James Redenbaugh: It's going to take me a minute to bring it up.

00:44:53

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Or maybe we don't even need that there.

00:45:00

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:45:00

James Redenbaugh: It could just be.

00:45:02

Barbara Layton: No, it's kind of. It's actually kind of nice to have it. Yeah, it really is. It's beautiful.

00:45:08

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, so see if you can find that. We can wait. See if you can find that other one, because I think that will show up more.

00:45:22

Barbara Layton: Yeah. Just leaving it just like this.

00:45:25

James Redenbaugh: It's.

00:45:25

Barbara Layton: Something's missing. Would, like, an orange work? I'm holding up my phone to it.

00:45:58

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. I don't know. Because of the color.

00:46:02

Barbara Layton: Oh, no.

00:46:17

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: It.

00:46:46

James Redenbaugh: It's going to take me a while to find that because it's.

00:46:48

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Hey, don't worry. Yeah, don't worry. You could just put that on the next. Yeah, we. Next iteration. Yeah. Thank you. Okay, so the logos. That's great that you got the logos on there. That's amazing. Could we start with sourcing synergy with our wonderful partners? I mean, it could say synergy in action, but again, that needs to be a little bit bigger. The synergy in action, but sourcing synergy with our wonderful partners? And then some of the logos. Too hard to read. Can you. Are you able to put them all, like, you know, some of them bigger or all around? Because on your. Your Iris Co Creative site, I like how your logos look. They all look kind of same size. Is that possible to do, like, make them.

00:47:39

James Redenbaugh: Well, the ones on my site happen to be similarly sized.

00:47:48

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: But see how you can.

00:47:49

Barbara Layton: Mostly they pop because of the white on black.

00:47:54

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. But they're also more legible, like, because some of ours, like, I couldn't read what the organization was. See, like, some of them are so tiny.

00:48:08

James Redenbaugh: Well, you have so many.

00:48:10

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. I mean, it's okay if they go down further, but if you can at least read them, you know, makes it.

00:48:19

Barbara Layton: A little more challenging. Because of the white. Actually.

00:48:25

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: The white makes it challenging for.

00:48:27

Barbara Layton: On my. For my eyes. Yeah. The white background. I mean, it's fine, but.

00:48:37

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, I think it's fine.

00:48:38

Barbara Layton: It's just size contrast. The logos just don't get to pop.

00:48:58

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. So whatever you could do to make that look, you know, like, so we can read them all the testimonies. We don't have enough. I mean, we. We have old ones, and so we'll just leave them out for now and then at the end. Okay. The logo on the phone, like, if you go to the. Yeah. The foundation is like. At least on my phone, it's like. I think it was too close to synergy.

00:49:27

James Redenbaugh: Yeah. I need to tweak some mobile versions.

00:49:29

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah. And then we should probably Put our address, you know, our mailing address there. So I, I, I'm, I have that in my notes. It's 697 Third Avenue. And then we need our Facebook and YouTube channels, you know, somewhere. So maybe down there somewhere. And then the navigation, which is now on the right side, like, I at first didn't notice it. So maybe you could put it like in a different way. Like maybe across the page or maybe on the left side, maybe a little bigger.

00:50:09

James Redenbaugh: Well, it's, it, it's down here for people that are looking for it. So it's secondary to the primary nav, which is always going to be up here. I think it's fine if people don't notice it.

00:50:27

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Okay. Okay. So then the page, I think it starts vision statement, you know, with some graphic. And then this is like, you know, maybe you can repeat that, you know, nice graphic that you're looking for or whatever. But this is like too long to scroll down. So I would put. Read more, you know, and I sent you the new version that is in the Google Doc. This is the old version history. So if you can get the new version. Because it, it's like more current, you know, to today.

00:51:11

James Redenbaugh: Okay.

00:51:12

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So. And then the picture, this second picture with Andrew and Deepak, I would just take that out because there was some problem. I don't want to go into it, but I'll take that, I would take that part out. Just that picture. You can leave the first picture in, but the second picture, long story. And. Yeah, so maybe just. And also, it's not just the evolutionary leaders founding history. It's source of synergy foundation and evolutionary leaders you don't need in service to conscious evolution founding history. So maybe just have like the first paragraph or something and then read more.

00:51:50

Barbara Layton: Yeah, it's way too long.

00:51:52

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, it's way too long. You know, or two paragraphs or something and a couple pictures. Like maybe you can have a, that, you know, first picture, maybe the group picture. I don't know, maybe just two pictures. Founding history. And then read more. But yeah, the vision statement is like the first thing they see with the graphic and then the people. I would put it in alphabetical order according to last name, like we have on our website.

00:52:27

Barbara Layton: Okay, but are we having all of these names on here?

00:52:31

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Diane, that's our team. You know, those are the people that.

00:52:35

Barbara Layton: Juan Carlos included still.

00:52:38

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, Juan Carlos we could take out because he's no longer working with us.

00:52:41

Barbara Layton: Yeah.

00:52:42

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Is there anybody else that's on there?

00:52:44

Barbara Layton: If you scroll up a little bit More. We can take a look. Rod. Rod.

00:52:49

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Well, Rod is. He has some title as a. What is his.

00:52:57

Barbara Layton: I don't know what his title is.

00:52:58

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Him. And Peter. Is Peter on here? Him, Peter. Like they have some title. I forget what it is. Peter Matisse. Is he on here?

00:53:08

Barbara Layton: I thought I saw Peter as you were scrolling.

00:53:11

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Okay, so I'll write that down. Take one card. I mean, Juan Carlos might be doing occasional, but he's not really.

00:53:25

Barbara Layton: Yeah, I don't think so.

00:53:27

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Yeah, take off. Okay. And Olivia should be on there. I don't know. Anyway, you just took this from our page, right? Oh, yeah. Olivia's on there. And Paulette's on there. You see? Paulette Pipe.

00:53:41

Barbara Layton: She's on there.

00:53:42

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay. Yeah. So I would just do it from last name. Okay. So then the. Oh, and then the. The memorial area. We had some nice pictures of them with the, like, people made banners. You could just take those banners off of the Source of Synergy. It's like the bottom of the. About us. And put them there. Yeah, you can just put them all there. Okay, so then the synergizing page. Wait, did we go over that?

00:54:21

Barbara Layton: No, we didn't.

00:54:22

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay.

00:54:26

Barbara Layton: How much time do you have, James?

00:54:28

James Redenbaugh: Oh, I've only got four minutes.

00:54:30

Barbara Layton: Okay, no problem.

00:54:32

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: You want to go quickly through the synergizing page. Okay, so we talked about the font, so we'll have to come up with something. So I think it needs a little bit of context more than just project descriptions. And I would put Source of Synergy foundation for this because it's okay. Anyway, so I have, like, for instance, like that when you click on the link to the Synergy Superstore, it doesn't go anywhere. So I gave you the links to where they should go.

00:55:06

James Redenbaugh: I made a new page for that because the old website won't be accessible.

00:55:12

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay.

00:55:13

Barbara Layton: We might want to switch out the order of how all of this appears. Also, maybe I can just send you my notes.

00:55:19

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Think about it.

00:55:20

Barbara Layton: Yeah, Yeah, I switch it out a little bit.

00:55:25

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, James, since you only have a couple minutes, I'll just send you this feedback. Do you want me to put it in the Google Docs or you want me to just email it to you?

00:55:32

James Redenbaugh: Yeah, put it in your doc.

00:55:34

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, so I'll take the last one out, so. Well, this one has the date, so I guess it doesn't matter. It says 114 26. Because we went over most of them anyway. There was just some. Like, for instance, the Synergy circle one needed to change the text and. But you'll see you'll see. Okay. And then if we send you these changes, when do you think you might be able to incorporate them? Like, how long do you need to do that?

00:56:10

James Redenbaugh: It all sounds pretty straightforward, so just a day or so.

00:56:15

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Okay, great. And then we can look at that, because at some point when we feel like it's how we all want it, then we need to send it to Deborah and Nancy so they can take a look.

00:56:25

James Redenbaugh: Okay.

00:56:26

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: So. Okay, great.

00:56:27

Barbara Layton: All right.

00:56:27

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Thank you so much. Thank you for all this, James.

00:56:30

Barbara Layton: Thank you.

00:56:31

Diane Williams Source of Synergy Foundation: Work you put into this.

00:56:33

James Redenbaugh: You're welcome.

00:56:34
