THE ART OF INSPIRATION

TEAM SOUTH (top l-r): Travis Teate, Frankie Brooks, Michael Brooks, Alyssa Marohn, Chantel Coxhead, Teri Gardner, Kim Kuprijanow; (bottom l-r): Kristen Smith, Fifi Brooks, Dodge Brooks, Sara D’Eugenio Y ES, IMITATION IS THE SI NCE R E ST FOR M OF F L ATT E R Y . A N D W E ’ R E F L A TT E R E D ; R E A L LY, W E A R E .

At South, we believe that the greatest sort of publishing means exploring new ways of telling stories and expressing ourselves. And over the past several years, concepts like “Meet the Doctors” and “Finest Lawyers” have

{

been published in mos t mid-sized to large cities with reputable magazines.

We felt that it w as long overdue that Savannah be included on that lis t. In 2007, we released our M eet the Doctors issue, and five years ago our first Finest Lawyers issue. Shortly af ter , other local publications began releas ing their o wn versions. We’re not bragging (well, ma ybe a lit tle) and

we’re not complaining. It’s good to know we’re doing our jobs well and that our peers appreciate—and maybe even admire—our efforts.

But that means we ha ve to k eep re-examining those efforts. We have to be our toughes t critics and k eep rediscovering what made us unique and inspiring in the first place. It’s not an easy standard to liv e up to. It’s always hard. Sometimes it’s downright exhausting. But we do it happily be cause, when we get it right, it’s incredibly rewarding. So, we expanded the scope of our 6th Annual La w issue, which features our region’s finest law prof essionals, to also include the South’s top Money Magnates.

That’s a lot of impressive and influential people for one issue, which left us with an interes ting challenge: how to portray these powerful professionals in a w ay that’s as compelling as their accomplishments deserv e.

Hmm, not easy. We were prepared to lose more than a lit tle sleep.

The answer came to us in the form of talented photographer, Travis Teate. We were looking for an intriguing, thought-provoking lens through

which to view our subjects , and we found it.

The photo shoots themselves inspired emotion, dialogue and ev en controversy, but mostly they just inspired. We were definitely not resting on our laurels. We were prepared to dynamite the w alls of our comf ort zone. We were excited, engaged and a little nervous.

You can see wh y on pages 75 and 148. I could go on about how amazing the results are, but you need to see them for yourself.

Then, I ask you to think about all the people at South who, once again, have managed to set a new s tandard.

I’m thinking (incredibly apprecia tively) of every one of them right no w.

And I know our competitors will be., too.

Many Thanks & Keep Reading,

Michael Brooks Publisher/Creative Director

P.S. Working at South requires talent, flexibility, patience, persistence and, above all, team effort. Recently Team South stepped outside the office and participated in the JCB Mud Run. After setting up camp at the crack of dawn, running 4.3 miles of obstacles and mud—a piece of cake compared to deadline week—we had an opportunity to bond like never before. We all slept well that night.

DELILAH WINNER OF SOUTH 'S GREATEST PETS

creative director: Michael Brooks

South raised the bar with this month’s cover, doing what we do best: mixing art and business. “We felt that model and entrepreneur, Laura Lill, was a perfect representation of a powerful, artistic cover,” says creative director Michael Brooks. Photographer Travis Teate agrees. “This is a progressive picture,” he says. “It’s a throwback to classic styling and modern lines. It was inspired by the power of a woman in motion, in black and white, moving forward. I love the look of feminine lines in a masculine suit.”

In addition to our Power Cover, a limited edition run featuring one of this year’s winners of South’s Greatest Pets is available. Go to southmagazine.com for more information.

editor’s letter

aug | sept 2013

POWER & PROGRESS magazine

i’m afraid to admit how much of my life i’ve spent being, well, afraid. As a little girl, I was afraid of my childhood ending (I was very self-aware); in high school, that I would choose the wrong colleg e; in colleg e, that I would choose the wrong career; post-graduate school in 2008 , that America and I would be brok e forever; as a new bride, that I would be ma rooned on the West Coast indefinitely.

If you told me a year ag o that I would be happily re-es tablished in Savannah, I would ha ve laughed—if I could ha ve stopped crying. My husband and I spent a relatively terrifying year and a half of uncertainty in Los Ang eles, chasing our tails careers in film and marketing, respectively. The weather was great, we saw celebrities all the time and it only took 45 minutes to driv e three miles to the beach.

We’d spend Saturday mornings in our apartment off Wilshire Boulevard watching Paula’s Best Dishes and Home for Dinner with Jamie Deen, crying into our pancak es (true story). We were blessed with so much— jobs , friends, a place of our o wn— but it wasn’t enough. We missed our families. We missed living where people smile and s ay hello; where no thing is open before noon on Sunday because everyone is in church. W e missed the South.

We took the plung e and moved back to our belo ved Savannah. It wasn’t exactly the path of least resistance—frankly, we probably should ha ve been a lit tle more afraid to lea ve our jobs in a down economy and absorb the cost of a cross-country move than we were—but a deeper sense of purpose, formed from a desire to contribute to a community that we lo ve and to build a life supported by faith and family (and foo tball) far outweighed the fear .

It’s fitting that our Power Professionals issue is the first of my tenure at South. In preparing this issue, I have been introduced to some truly ex traordinary folks who are moving the needle of progress forward. You’ll be inspired to tackle pre tty much anything after reading “ Success 101” (page 54) or to stand up straighter for what you believe in, like I was after my conversation with Judge Claire Cornwell-Williams (page 134). Maybe your prayers will be a lit tle longer tonight after reading “The Fall and Rise of the Local Banking Indus try,” (page 47) thankful for those who kept Savannah’s banks from collapsing lik e so many others.

Stevie Nicks said it best: “Time makes you bolder.” Thank heavens for that. As we begin col lectively to stand down the fear left in the w ake of the great recession, I think we’ re all a lit tle bolder. We have a keener sense of what mat ters; we know what we’re about.

All boats are rising, y ’all. I’m just glad to ha ve mine docked in this g orgeous harbor.

Enjoy every page!

Many thanks to our online community for your consistent feedback. Recently, we conducted a p oll on our June-July 2013 covers and after all was said and done, the results came in by a n extremely slim margin. Most agreed both were winners.

RI P BEN TUCKER

WINNER

[The Jeri cover] says “Southern women are strong...don’t mess with us!” – CON N I E L . AR NOLD PAU L A - G AT E When scandal broke at Paula Deen Enterprises, South posted a p hoto from a 2007 photo shoot (right) on our Facebook page to show support for our hometown girl. That post reached 25,984 people, got 393 likes and 107 passionate comments.

Needless to say, it kicked up some grits.

“I still believe in Paula Deen. Still love her and respect her. If nothing else look at all the good she has done for the city of Savannah.”

—MICHAEL W. JOYNER

“Amen South magazine!!!!! You who are without sin cast [the] first stone! So proud of you for standing up not for Paula Deen but for what’s right.” —JODI SEBRIGHT PIRROTTA “There’s a lesson for ALL of us... be kind to the folks you pass on the way up the ladder to success... you may need them on the way back down.” —CRAIG BISZICK “Can’t get blood from a stone. What more does everyone want from this woman? She’s apologized. What else should she do?”

—ASHLEY NOEL MCLAIN

“Here’s my question: you ask a white woman of a certain age from the deep South if she has ever (!!) used the N-word, and you are outraged by her answer and vilify her for her honesty? I don’t get it.” —JULIE CARTER PECENKA

“Paula Deen is receiving fair treatment by her employers and endorsers, just like every other celebrity. When you are a celebrity, you have no private life. You can’t be perfect, but don’t be surprised when your imperfections become public scandal. It’s what you signed up for.” —MONISHA JOHNSON “This is America. This magazine can post whatever it wants to post. It appears they are standing up for someone they know. Do you know her?” —VYVYAN LYNN

This was a great issue....the whole mag was just good, good, good!! –DIAN E MU R RAY EAK I NS 20

REMEMBERING BEN On June 10, 2013, Savannah said goodbye to Ben Tucker with a N ew Orleans-style jazz funeral and procession through the city. Although his resume as a world-renowned jazz musician and songwriter was extraordinary, his reputation as a kind, compassionate and vibrant man are what we will remember the most.

[Correction, Please] In “Behind the Scenes Beauty Pageants,” Brittany Rowland was misquoted as saying that she won Miss Gerogia Southern 2011. Although Miss Georgia Southern was the first pageant that Miss Rowland participated in, it was not a title that she won. We apologize for the innacuracy.

The People Side of Business

BY THE NUMBERS

HR specialist Suzanne Kirk of Employment Development Strategies, Inc.

With a master’s degree in Human Resources Manag ement and Development and experience working for major national companies, Suzanne Kirk knows HR. The president and executive consultant of Employee Development Strategies, Inc. helps her clients— such as Memorial Hospital and Digitas—develop collective business goals through a plan specifically suited to each client’s needs. “Any HR intervention should represent the company’s brand and emplo yment philosophy. There’s not a one size fits all,” she says. “This is what mak es my approach different. I focus on what the businesses needs when it comes to creating a great emplo yment experience for their people and ensuring they are best prepared to help achiev e business objectives.” visit kirkhr.com to learn more about kirk and employee development strategies, inc.

➔ THE 10 KEYS TO A GREAT CULTURE

➊ BRING YOUR BRAND INSIDE THE ORGANIZATION. Are you a family biz? A cutting edge firm? Your processes and employment experience should match and support your brand. ➋ EMBRACE YOUR EMPLOYMENT PHILOSOPHY. How do you define the employer-employee relationship? What's your leadership style? Make a conscious decision regarding how you will uphold your philosophy. ➌ LINK TO THE BIGGER PICTURE. All employees have to know how they personally contribute to achieving business goals. Help them see their connection to the customer and to the bottom line. ➍ SET MUTUAL EXPECTATIONS FROM THE VERY START. Begin during the interview process. Identify what you need and expect from the employee to meet your business objectives and clarify what he or she can expect from you. ➎ BE CONSISTENT. Document your mutual expectations in an employee handbook with policies and job descriptions, ensuring that the level of detail, tone and even the look and feel are representative of your brand. ➏ KEEP PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT HOLISTIC. There are many factors that impact the performance of your people, and all of them are interconnected. If something is not working, get to the root cause of the issue and consider all aspects. (For example, throwing more salary dollars at your employees won’t “fix” their performance if they have not been adequately trained.) ➐ COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE, COMMUNICATE. Get key messages to your people in as many channels as possible. Set standing update meetings with set objectives and outcomes to make the time productive. ➑ DEVELOP YOUR PEOPLE. How will you effectively on-board your employees to train them for job success? What ongoing learning opportunities can you provide? ➒ LOOK IN THE MIRROR. Sometimes the root cause issue can be found when leaders look in the mirror. Self-assess and take a look at your style, communication, and work habits. ➓ HAVE FUN. Collaboratively determine how you and your employees want to celebrate accomplishments and bring fun into the workplace.
