From Board Room to Dining Room Interview Series: Annette Saldana + Krayl Funch

In this interview with Annette Saldana we discuss the importance of an office door, hiring virtual & personal support, asking for what you want and having a great front porch to visit with neighbors.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes:

Regarding Family +  Home Life:     “I want my time with my boys to be spent enjoying them.”;” I am a big believer in hiring support.”;   “I think we try to do it all on our own and we don’t realize the compromise that that has on our relationships, on own happiness…”

Regarding Business:     “Asking for what you want, is the most pivotal communication act that there is.”; “(I) look at what I am tolerating and (ask) how can I raise the bar.”

Regarding Entertaining:    With a recent move back to her hometown of Atlanta, Annette has found the “The most important part of entertaining is in the intent.”

A few of the resources Annette mentions:

Home: live-in household helper, driver for kids activities,
