Aliza Sherman, Web Pioneer, Speaker and Author

Early on in my career, my dad instilled in me that I could do or be anything and to not feel trapped in any job. I’ve changed jobs or careers often and always look at them as new adventures. Whenever I have a fear of making a change, I repeat my personal mantra: “Life is Short. Do What You Love.” This fuels every life adventure to reinventing my business every few years. 

Jill Janssen, Director, PwC

I think it’s a combination of personality traits that have helped me to succeed. Not only hard work – but patience, sacrifice and choosing my battles have all helped me to reach the point in my career to which I aspired, in a company I admired.

Kelly Manthey, VP Strategy & Innovation, Solstice Mobile

It took passion, standing tall, falling – and of course, getting back up again even prouder than before. And, opening myself to learning a lesson from each unique experience in the wild world of entrepreneurship and the food industry. That attitude has led my business to a high level of catering – doing what I love.
