The Meeting of the Great Minds

      I recently attended a meeting of the most accomplished, successful business leaders who is each an expert in her chosen field. All of us are best-selling authors, some with several best-selling books, and nationally recognized authorities who are also in-demand speakers and consultants. I am delighted to be part of the Women Gurus Network , a veritable Brain Trust of TEN. We work with corporations, companies and non -profit organizations to solve  their current issues and prevent future ones.

      This is the first group with which I have joined forces and I am glad I did.  The Gurus are  brilliant, acclaimed women who are also interesting, well-traveled and FUN.   Yes, I said that they are fun. At our first meeting, we had an agenda that we met and we laughed. While laughter was not on the agenda, it was a highlight for me.  Life is too short and, indeed too long, not to laugh.

      You, too, can find your natural network of colleagues. Simply invite three people who each invite someone who, in turn, invites another person. Decide if this is based on job title, college degree, favorite team, hobby or avocation. And you have your TOP TEN. Exchange emails, pick up the phone and set up a meet and greet. Be sure there are beverages of choice, some great snack food and terrific desserts and conversation will flow. Have an agenda. But be open to the tangential sidebars.
