August Luncheon
"What does she do all day?" That was the question author Michael Miller and his corporate fraternity brothers often asked themselves about their stay-at-home wives. Their ignorance about what seemed like a simpler life at home shielded them from seeing or hearing the realities of it. Embarking on a quest to find the girl he married - lost in that life - Miller finds out the hard way just how very wrong they had been. As a sales and marketing executive with several public and private companies, Miller has a proven track record in leading teams to achieve sales growth, customer satisfaction, profitability and operational efficiency. All that valuable experience, however, did not prepare him for what he faced on his journey into his wife’s life at home. Join us for an lively presentation by a certified Mr. Mom.
