Business Klass is now in session

I've been in the workforce for many years. Fifteen of those years have been spent at a Fortune 500 Company. The path has been long and varied. Along the way I've come across:

  • Great managers and not-so-great managers
  • Interesting co-workers and downright jerks
  • Excitement in one minute followed by frustration in the next
  • Colleagues who I'm proud to call my friends
  • A nice guy who would later become my husband!

I didn't intend to find my husband at work. It just so happens that I held the door open while he was moving his office. If it weren't for this chance meeting in the hall, I'm not sure we would have ever met. You see, we have very diverse talents and skills. Our likes and dislikes aren't very similar at all - I'm into sports, he's into gaming. I'm extroverted, he's introverted. I'm the youngest of a family of six, he's the middle child of a family of three boys. I'm a dreamer (ex. "Miss Opportunity"), he's a bit negative (ex. "Devil's Advocate"). And the list goes on...

As you might imagine, we have very different views about business. In the spirit of Don & Roma (WLS 890) we thought we'd involve all of those who care out in e-space in our conversations. We are going to use this platform as our opportunity to discuss events, debate ideas, define boundaries and dabble in blogging.
We plan to discuss our opposing views on various business topics. If you've got a topic you'd like to see debated, please chime in. Using the metaphor of "klass." we'd love for you to rate our discussions. Give one of us an "A" if you believe one of us is right on track. Don't hesitate to give one of us an "F" if we're way off base.


You don't even have to raise your hand in this klass, just give us your feedback! Business Klass is now in session...
