A Wonderful Evening at Cass

There's always a lot of pressure to deliver when you do a paid speaking event - my normal fee equates to around £1 a second - so it's quite nice to do one for free from time to time, and this week I was talking to the MBA students and alumni of Cass Business School in the City of London.

It was a wonderful evening during which we heard all about the new Peter Cullum Centre for Entrepreneurship including a new £10million seed fund available for Cass students, and then I spoke about my own entrepreneurial journey plus my book Business Nightmares.

A great audience, lots of questions, all my books sold out in seconds, plus a great networking session afterwards during which I was plied with copious amounts of wine.

Then yesterday I received the following email:

Hi Rachel,

I am Philip Mathew from Cass Business School. I was fortunate to attend your session yesterday. It was simply amazing. Thanks a lot for your great advice and help. The humbleness you have in spite of your achievements is what really touched me. Thank you once again.

Warm Regards,
Philip

It's great events and emails like that which keep me in this game!

Double Delight

Tonight I am in London a guest at the Cass Business School executive MBA dinner, and staying at a fabulous new hotel called the Megaro opposite St Pancras station. It has just opened is brilliantly small and boutique and was just £100 - fabulous value and easily as good as any £250+ hotel in London. Plus I have finally got my iPhone working - a Christmas present from Mr Badger. So I can Blog on the move! What a brilliant innovative intuitive device!

Life is flowing.
