Stepping up as CEO of your small business: Chat with Scarlett V Clark

Fireside chat with Scarlett V Clark, CEO of <a href="http://smartgirltribe.com/">Smart Girl Tribe</a>: What it means to be a successful and authentic leader.

&lt;p&gt;My motto in life and work is 'Meet people, make friends, and help them.'&amp;nbsp;Getting to know people is the best way of finding out what makes them tick in terms of goals, ambitions, dreams, interests and life in general. I help people by listening to what they need, suggesting ideas, sending links, making introductions, adding value, and offering relevant products and services, where appropriate. When friends have a problem, I love to help them fix it.&lt;/p&gt;
