The Power Lunch.

A new article was just posted online for the Pensacola New Journal's sister magazine, Bella.

The Power Lunch

I started to read this article because of the title, The Power Lunch. I often had breakfast, lunch or after work meetings. My boss once asked me, why do you go to these meetings during your lunch hour or before you come to work? Well, sometimes it's just the experience of getting to know by peers or those I work with throughout the year. I recently tweeted saying, "Business relationships that have flourished into personal friendships #saveit." I would not trade the friendships that I have gained over the past couple of years that started out a random phone calls and emails.

I will continue to savor my business lunches, breakfasts, coffee and after work drinks. Even though they might start out as business, always be willing to open yourself up to let those meetings help your relationship flourish into a not to be forgotten friendship.
