What I learned from Angela Ahrendts

Jason Womack

She's the CEO of Burberry , and she shared some comments with us on Wednesday at the World Business Forum (twitter hashtag #wbf11). Angela Ahrendts took the stage, and for about a half-an-hour, shared her insights into running one of the largest and most well-known luxury brands in the world. (It also helped my interest that of the 3 suits I own, my absolute favorite one is from Burberry!).

Jason Womack

While in Zurich this week (and three other European countries in the past month) I got to see how people live differently. While at the bookstore one day, reading a bit of Kissenger's book, "On China" I got to see a man and his dog. My goodness is it different in California!

What does Money(ball) have to do with anything?

Jason Womack

I've been in NYC now for a week - what a city. (There's no way anyone could have known, but I set this in to motion about 30 years ago when for my tap dance "end-of-the-year" production I created an event around a song that started, "Start spreadin' the news." And, now that I've been working here for so long, I know, "If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere!).

Do you expect it?

Jason Womack

When you talk about where you're going, is it in terms of: 1. Wishful thinking? 2. Could be possible. 3. I'm pretty sure I could get there. 4. There is no other choice. I will make this happen. Take this juvenile Bald Eagle, for example. I took these pictures from about 15 feet away, while we were living in Homer, Alaska. On the ground, a local was throwing fish this way and that, and the eagles were swooping in for some "fast food.
