It was a great week in New York and Boston. In New York, I met wonderful and generous people at the Fast Company’s Company of Friends seminar that I led. I was fortunate enough to spend time with Tracy Sheridan and Adrian Miller who are some of the most helpful business people I have met. There hospitality was endless.

I also had lunch with Laura Allen who has a great business called 15 Second Pitch which teaches people to get their message across in a short period of time. Laura has great ideas!

I then traveled up to Boston to present to Simmons College for their Leading Entrepreneurs Series. Three women for the book, Stephanie Covall Pinnix, Jodi Turek and Penny Picket joined me in a great seminar for a packed auditorium. My family even showed up from Boston. Now that is pressure!

Back in Chicago this week for a few more speaking seminars before the Thanksgiving holiday!
