All the cards have been sent, the gifts wrapped, the charitable donations made and now I turn my attention to the food, and when you are Italian, there's a lot of it ' but I digress.

At this point in my career, I have the luxury of taking on engagements for which I have a real interest and can make a significant contribution.

I have always believed that any engagement or project has to be fun and fulfilling because if it is not, you might get it right, but you will never feel like you accomplished the real end game ' success.
