Following up on June’s CREW Boston Annual Meeting, and as motivation to FINALLY read one of these amazing women's books, the Entrepreneur Exchange Group held a discussion of luncheon speaker Carla Harris' 2014 publication, Strategize to Win. While we didn’t all manage to read the whole book in time, Carla’s words at the annual meeting certainly gave us plenty to talk about. Discussion of how Carla’s Pearls and strategies translate to entrepreneurs and small business owners was extremely insightful. We look forward to getting into some of these topics in future meetings.

In June we were joined by 2016 CREW Boston Entrepreneur of the Year Award Winner -- and founding member of the Entrepreneur Exchange Networking Group – Lynne Sweet who spoke about her CREW Boston Involvement and Career Path. Building on the analogy from her acceptance speech, of the lobster which must molt its constrictive shell when it becomes uncomfortable, she shared that she felt constrained working in large company. Entrepreneurship was in her blood and starting her own company gave her the freedom to pursue her professional interests and “grow a larger shell.”
