Cynthia D’Amour on Leadership and Life

  Was quite the treat!

Yesterday we celebrated James’ 29th birthday.

I offered to take James any place in the world for dinner.

Paris was a strong contender, but…

• The corporate jet was being washed.
• James wanted to save the gas.

So we went to his Ann Arbor favorite restaurant - Zingerman’s Roadhouse.

• They treated him like a king.
• The food was amazing - as usual.

The evening was topped with a special Zingerman’s birthday cupcake.

• Chocolate cake with whipped cream on top.
• James took his time making his wish.
• And then admired the confection in front of him.

I tried a touch of the whip cream - what a symphony on my taste buds!

• No chemical flavors.
• No bitter aftertaste.
• It was the real deal.

What a perfect way to end a wonderful celebration!

(Happy Birthday James!)

Makes me think of chapter leaders…do you give prospective members the real deal - or an artificial sales pitch that leaves a bad taste lingering?
