!–paging_filter–pemSeattle/em magazine andem a href=”http://seattlebusinessmag.com/” target=”_blank”Seattle Business/a/emnbsp;magazine have just launched a href=”http://seattlebusinessmag.com/seattle-event/leaders-lunch” target=”_blank”Leaders at Lunch/a, a series of lunches at various Bellevue restaurants featuring local business leaders speaking on topics focused on leadership, innovation and civic responsibility.

Sleep! Small steps!)./p
pI’ll be there, soaking up her wisdom and finding new ways to counter the effects of sitting at my desk all day long./p
