No, really. It's all true.

by Denise Patrick, 11/7/2008 4:11:00 PM | with 61 comments

Update 12.24.08 :
I wanted to share some comments from those who attended the presentation below.

"Stories like yours inspire me to go for my dreams even when things don't seem to happen quite like I planned."

"Great job inspiring the troops. You've led an intersting life."

"You havve opened my eyes and I have realized the goals I can achieve through examples of your life experience.  There is no obstacle to large to overcome when you are focused on your dream."

Thanks to all who attended.  From everyone at Pierpont to our friends and family, have a safe and happy holiday.

2008 AAF-Houston Student Conference

With over 250 students (17 universities represented) registered to attend -- I am a little daunted at the prospect of giving the keynote address at tomorrow's 2008 AAF-Houston Student Conference.  I was asked to tell the truth about my career in marketing and advertising.  My real story.  So -- deep breath -- here it goes.  Remember -- It's All True.
