If you have read my previous post, you know I am making a significant change in my life and career by joining the team at Tynker. I am so excited for the move, and I think it also marks an excellent point to phase out the Big Guy in a Bow Tie brand. I know some of my faithful followers love the brand, and I know many have started just calling me big guy because of it, but I think this marks a great time to transition it to be just my name. So officially today, the site and all my social media accounts will convert to Lockhart Ed Tech.
I am making this change because I have to broaden my appeal a bit. The Big Guy branding was great as a way to get in the door and as a way for people to remember me by, but I as I transition to a role that requires me to have high-level professional conversations, I need something that is a bit more professional. I also need something that is sustainable for the future. I have been in the Ed Tech game for a while now, and I just can't see myself using the branding when I am 60. By transitioning the brand, it also helps me practically. Let's be honest....ISTE in the heat of summer with a bow tie wasn't the most practical thing I have ever done. I also don't want to try to have to figure out how to transition from a bow tie to Tynker gear as my new role brings about different responsibilities. It does not mean the site is going away. I will keep bigguyinabowtie.com for the foreseeable future, and the URL will redirect to lockhartedtech.com. I am still going to write. I am still going to present. I am still going to be me. Above all, I am still going to wear bowties; this just takes the pressure off of having to wear them all the time.
