WITI Women | Barbara Babcock

On a lighter note:

1. If you could have dinner with any 2 people (living or not), who would they be?
Margaret Thatcher, Arnold Palmer

2. What was the last book you read? What books do you love to recommend?
Fiction: "Hannibal," by Thomas Harris
Non-Fiction: "The Profit Zone," by Adrian Slywotzky and David Morrison

I love to recommend good mysteries or science fiction. Business books are mostly dull and repetitive.

3. If you couldn't do what you are doing now, what profession would you choose?
I'd love to own and operate a bar overlooking the ocean on the island of Hawaii or Kauai.

4. What is your definition of success?
Accomplishment (results), leadership (guiding others to succeed with behaviors they can be proud of), peace of mind (integrity and satisfaction with accomplishment and leadership), happiness (strong relationships with friends and family).
