By Felicia Lee, Ghost CEO Advisor It's been such a joy to watch and participate in some of the 2010 Winter Olympic activities.  I'm quite inspired by the Olympic athletes, especially in their stories and journey.

Are you ambitious?  What does the word "ambition" mean to you?  Do you feel uncomfortable talking about your ambition? Does... [read more] Related posts:

Being The Torchbearer In Your Business

The Olympic spirit is gripping Vancouver right now and I feel so lucky to be living in this city to experience it. It's really quite an incredible experience to step out on the streets and see seven times as many people as you're used to. The energy is electric.

Yesterday I was lucky to attend a fantastic lunch seminar put on by the Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (FWE) at PricewaterhouseCoopers and blogged about it here on the MetroBlenz site. The theme...
