Sitting Down with the World Affairs Council's International Visitor Program

This week I was honored to be invited by the World Affairs Council's International Visitor Program to speak with a group of quite impressive businesswomen from Africa about what it means to be a woman entrepreneur in the US.  


Branding, low-cost marketing options, selecting the right business partners (if any) and maintaining the balance between personal life, including motherhood, and business responsibilities, are all the universal joys and challenges to running a business. 


I'm happy to introduce you to some very brave women who manage companies and provide jobs in less than perfect environments.  Truly an inspiration!
