The invitation came through Facebook. It looked like an interesting event, for a great cause, at a great place so, I had to go and support it (no pun intended) ! Megan Gebhart, author of 52 Cups of Coffee, was the guest speaker. As a Wyoming native, she was the perfect choice for the Wyoming Breast Cancer Initiative's kick-off event. Here is an excerpt from the 52 Cups of Coffee website;
When Megan Gebhart graduated college in 2011, she knew she couldn’t resign herself to life at an aimless 9-to-5 job climbing the corporate ladder. So instead, she challenged herself to have a single cup of coffee with a different person every week for a year to see what lessons she could learn about life and careers. What started out as a strange, unconventional, and slightly awkward experiment soon transformed into a year filled with adventure, hardship, courage, and personal growth. Whether she’s grabbing a grande coffee with a former Starbucks's Vice President, discussing recess politics with a first grader, or debating talent with the co-founder of Apple, Megan’s enthusiasm and empathy coax the best advice from every walk of life. Interestingly enough, Megan now works for Air BnB, a company that connects travelers with hosts all around the world. An adventurous and fitting job for a young woman willing to embrace people from all walks of life!
