‘Feast on Your Life’

Mining the Unconventional Wisdom from a 50-year Entrepreneurial Journey

Gail Larsen

Gail Larsen has devoted her professional life to making a difference for women in business.  From her first business in 1976, she has been the “first” in many situations, including the first woman to be named the 1981 SBA Tennessee Small BusinessMAN of the year for her Women’s Career Conventions which served thousands.  Gail recently cleaned her garage, which provided the opportunity to reflect on the many risks, rewards, losses and heartbreaks of a 50-year professional career and the lessons learned. Now she celebrates how listening to life—often reluctantly! —instead of operating solely from strategy has created an unusual but fulfilling path which continues in her 79th year.  She is the author of Transformational Speaking: If You Want to Change the World, Tell a Better Story (Random House/Brilliance Audio) and serves a global clientele through her Transformational Speaking Immersions in Santa Fe and her Online Academy.  Learn more at www.realspeaking.com
