The Partner Post

A Message from Mary Gurganus

March always brings the urge to reset, clear the clutter, and return to a simpler rhythm. With St. Patrick’s Day and the spring solstice both arriving this month, it also feels like a natural time to celebrate renewal, connection, and fresh momentum.

Sometimes one small action, a fresh conversation, a thoughtful follow-up, or a simple next step, can create meaningful movement.

And during Women’s History Month, we are proud to celebrate women in business, the women who lead and serve in our community, and the women on our own team who show up each day with strength, care, and purpose. Your impact matters, and the women of today are writing history every day through leadership, resilience, and purpose.

Protect Your “Google Front Door” (Before It Costs You Calls)

Your website might not be your first impression anymore, your Google Business Profile is. And it is not “set it and forget it.”

In this quick read, Trish Bass (Jumpstart Marketing) breaks down how consumer suggested edits and Google updates can quietly change your phone number, hours, categories, or even mark your office as closed, and why weekly oversight is now the baseline for law firms that want to protect visibility and inbound calls.

You may have heard of the Purple Cow, the idea of being memorable because you are remarkable. We like to pair that with what we call the Pink Rabbit, the steady, recognizable way you keep showing up until people know, trust, and remember you.

That approach does three things well:
it respects the original term, makes your added idea feel intentional, and avoids sounding like you are quoting a formal theory that people can easily look up and not find.

Our advice, use Purple Cow confidently, use Pink Rabbit as your branded or coined extension. That makes it smart, memorable, and safer in a professional context.

Networking works best when it is not about saying the perfect thing, it is about starting better conversations.

These are a few simple phrases that can make networking feel more natural, more helpful, and a lot more memorable.

From “Nice to see you” to “How can I help?”, the goal is not to impress everyone in the room. The goal is to build real connections with people who may one day become trusted resources, referral partners, collaborators, or friends.

Which one would you actually use?

Grandparents' Rights in NC Explained!

If you are a grandparent who feels suddenly out of the loop after a family change, you are not alone. Many grandparents ask the same questions, “Do I have rights in North Carolina?”, “Can I request visitation?”, “What if I’m worried about my grandchild’s safety?”, and “Where do I even start?”

This free online workshop offers a clear, educational overview of grandparents’ rights in North Carolina, presented by Managing Attorney Alice Womack. You will learn the basics of how NC law approaches grandparent visitation and custody, what “standing” can mean, and common misconceptions that cause confusion. There will also be time for a live Q&A for general questions.
