THE TOTEM
The Mockingbird as a totem has the meaning of friendship, sharing, determination, sharpness, activity and life, and agility.
In this sense, it reminds us that what is important in life is not the material elements that we earn, but the quality of relationships with others. It is this that enriches our lives.
This is the ethos of Mockingbird Consultancy.
The relationships we build underpin all our activities.
