Once in a while, life sends a punch out of the blue. This morning was one of them:
I met Susan Quandt at the SOBCon’08 in Chicago this year. During one of the breaks, we sat together and we discovered we had some things in common, including involvement with non-profit boards and fundraising for non-profits. I remember Susan’s advice vividly: “Choose your board carefully. You can’t afford to have anyone on board who isn’t a team player. Everyone has to give 110%”
Susan was excited about being filmed for the Oprah show and talked about her day spent at the Oprah show. I shared my Oprah moments with her– getting to meet Oprah after a show and thanking her for providing interpreters and the Letter to the Editor that was printed in the “O” magazine. You can view Susan on the show here: Real Life Stories of the Law of Attraction.
Later that afternoon, Susan and I ended up in the same small group reviewing commercials made using Utterli:
Every now and then, life also gives you a jewel that shines, and Susan was one of them. In the short amount of time that I spent with her, I learned that she served on several non-profits, taught at a college, managed work and a family and had several projects that she was working on at once. I remember leaving our conversation thinking, “Wow, this is a gal who has accomplished so much and really embraces life!”
I’m so sad to hear this news because I was so looking forward to meeting her again at SOBCon’09 and chatting more. My heart goes out to her family.
