Donna Fenn’s whole career has focused on understanding the nature of successful entrepreneurs. The unique insights she’s gleaned, the myriad business stories she’s collected, and her engaging and humorous presentation style assure her audience is always in for a treat!

–Michele Long
Executive Director, Sustainable Connections

Your honest, direct and enthusiastic presentation kept us all riveted. Your book, Alpha Dogs, very well portrays the successes and setbacks of small and mid-sized business owners. It is the best I’ve read in presenting the concepts that independent business owners should seriously consider implementing.
