that took some thinking! You said "visit" so that went much more than just "meet".

Patti: Exactly so! Many CEO's are nervous at the outset of an interview. I ALWAYS reassure them we are "visiting" and often we do--over coffee--with my tape recorder running. This break away from the strict "interview" is what I used on my website interviews too! :) A Great list Patti, especially #6!
