Debra Benton is a national consultant and writer on business and management. She interviewed me while writing her popular book on CEOs. [You can see my thank you note to her for quoting me in the PR Section of Business Development.] The year the book came out, I sent her a holiday greeting card. Its inscription was, "May all the joys of the season be yours." Inside I wrote:
Debra,
I saw "How to Think Like a CEO" on an airplane and thought, "This looks like a fantastic book . . . I've got to get it!" When I bought it and saw your name, I was awed. I've flipped through the book, but I haven't read it word-for-word yet. Still it's packed with the essential advice everyone needs to know to succeed in their career. You're the best, and I'm very proud of you.

P.S.--"How to Think" is mandatory reading for my senior executive clients.
