When a person makes a decision, people will always want a reason they understand, so they'll put a negative spin on things.
From Desiree Rogers
This ability to mix people together is something I learned early on.
No one should walk into a party and have a stamp that says 'mayor' or 'businessman' on their head. Everyone is just there to have a good time.
There's no time to waste. Every day, there needs to be movement on something.
My job is to make certain that I've done what I was asked and my department has done what we were asked to do by the president and the first lady and the State Department. I believe that we accomplished that.
I'm a business person at heart.
I don't consider myself flashy at all. I mean, did I dress like the average Washingtonian? No.
I don't do ordinary work. That is not me in the least.
We can't just rest on the fact that this is beautiful Chicago. I want to triple down on that experience and make it... life-altering.
I do feel strongly that we have got to do a little brand-positioning work. Wouldn't it be great to have something that everybody could say: 'Yep, that's Chicago.'
