#1 Key to Success in Any Profession: An Interview with Kara DelVecchio, Vice President of Sales, WeddingWire

I had the great privilege of being in Kara DelVecchio’s audience
at a recent conference focused on women in leadership in the
Washington, DC area. Her stories and passion were enough to
capture my attention for well over an hour—in fact, I was nearly
late getting set up for a session I was responsible for because I
was so intrigued.


 


When she agreed to let me interview her for this podcast, my
fingers couldn’t type my questions quickly enough. Her journey,
curiosity, courage and compassion are enlivening and inspiring—so
was this interview. Enjoy!
