Marilyn Carlson Nelson, this name is one to remember for the significant contributions she has made as Chief Executive of the Carlson Companies. Named one of the world’s 100 most powerful women as well as recognized in the U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s best leaders she continues to inspire all those who come in contact with her. So what is her secret? In a luncheon symposium co-hosted by the Women President’s Organization (WPO) and the Greater Stamford Chamber of Commerce Carlson addressed the importance of success. As a member of the WPO, President of eRichards Consulting, Doreen Gebbia attended this symposium and was enlightened by the speaker. In her book “How We Lead Matters” she delves further into her experiences of being a successful woman whether in the workplace or at home. She encourages people to be consistent in life, whatever you would do at home do at work, and vice versa because as she said best, “today is what we have.”
