Rendezvous with Industry Giants

Today my blog is a little different than regular, I wanted to share with the readers my experience from last night after I met few of the big dogs in the finance and corporate industry.

I was every fortunate to be invited to one of these events and all thanks to my husband that I got this opportunity. The event was hosted on Park Avenue in the big apple, I am sure most of you have your eyes all wide open and wondering who are these people that I met last night.

The host & hostess house was full of luxury and warmth. They were extremely courteous inspite one being the managing partner of a huge private equity firm and the other co-founder of a big investment firm. In addition to them there were CEO a huge insurance company, Senior Leader at Wall street, successful entrepreneurs, bankers and the list goes on. In short they are extremely successful, very humble, hard workers and personable people.

All of them told a key element to success  "To be focused" and "work hard for whatever you want in life". One of the seasoned banker said ethics and verbal commitment goes a long way and that is what keeps you in the business. The other leader said that life is all about choices that works for you and not based on how people perceive them.

4 hrs last night just flew in 4 minutes, I enjoyed it so much. As the rendezvous started winding down one thing that stuck with me was always be humble no matter how successful you are !!!!
