Stimulus and response often derive from sharing great stories, I am privileged to speak in public, co-author a best-selling book, and have published many articles. My words and exploits have been shared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Insider, New York Magazine, Women's Wear Daily, Huffington Post, and other publications. Throughout my career I have been influenced by great companies and leaders including: American Express, Red Cats, QVC, and McKinsey & Company.
