			<description><![CDATA[60 min. from Tue Apr 27 00:00:00 CDT 2010 Show - Prevailing in challenging times is not a question of ability - people are able. Success hinges on opportunity and intention. Opportunity and intention are what football is all about. 

Women have gained a great deal at home and at work. We are assertive, but now it's time to step up the game. No longer are we expected to play nice all the time. Sometimes, a certain roughness is necessary: we need to talk straight, stand our ground, say no, and negotiate everything. As in football, we need to hunker down and get our knuckles in the dirt. 

In this humorous and lively discussion with speaker and author Mimi Donaldson, you'll discover a new appreciation of football strategies. After all, they are the same strategies you have used to get ahead in business and be successful in your personal relationships. Today, Mimi will share the secrets of capitalizing on opportunity and intention to become the ultimate coach for yourself and your team. Then nothing will stand in the way of your win.
