Have you ever pitched your dream? I mean, really got the chance to tell the right people your idea?

 

I have. And it didn’t turn out quite how I expected.

Let me set the scene for you: Years ago I was working passionately on a project supporting female coffee farmers in Rwanda.  I was part of a leadership training at the time, and I was dying to…
