Eat, Drink and Succeed

The White House Director of Events for President Clinton Shares the Secrets that Catapulted her from Press Office Volunteer to Producing Events on the World Stage

With no political connections, communications wunderkind Laura Schwartz networked her way from answering phones for President Clinton’s press office at age 19 to producing more than 1,000 events as the White House Director of Events. In her non-fiction, Eat, Drink & Succeed, Schwartz shows how the secrets that propelled her to success at the White House and beyond can do the same for others.

Turning the traditional idea of networking on its ear, Laura casts off the “What can you do for me?” mentality and instead invites readers to ask, “What can I do for you?” With this fresh, positive approach, Schwartz empowers her readers to unleash their own networking power to change their lives. She provides specific tools to maximize not only day-to-day business opportunities – but also how to turn ordinary social events into career opportunities – providing a clear roadmap that empowers readers to take their career to the next level.

Sprinkled with poignant and entertaining anecdotes from Laura’s years at the White House and the rarely told stories of business moguls, from Oprah Winfrey to Steven Spielberg, Eat, Drink & Succeed is as entertaining as it is educational. The networking checklist and bulleted handout in the back of the book is a convenient feature for those who are short on time or need a quick easy-to-reference refresher.
