Recently at a WXN Breakfast in Calgary, 2007 WXN Top 100 Hall of Fame inductee and Corporate Director Kathleen Sendall was interviewed by WXN founder, Pamela Jeffery as they delved into a variety of questions.

Never lose your sense of humour and ability to laugh, especially at yourself. 3. Listen - learn to keep your mouth shut and control your temper. Recent Posts

It is my preferred management style, and it works superbly – until it doesn't. |
