Business Lunch
By Tiffany Weatherman
It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, however with so many men and women these days using lunch hour as their ‘power hour’ to make and close their most significant business deals, we beg to differ. How you spend your lunch hour says a lot about your priorities and the locale in which you choose to spend this vital part of your afternoon defines your persona to those you are ‘power lunching’ with.
