I was at a party a few weeks ago and met the founder and chairwoman of a major high tech company. I took an interest in her fixing her own Volvo in the "old days" and well, didn't think she took much of an interest in me. (this happens a lot)

Anyway, just like in high school, 3 degrees of separation and I was given her private email address and a note saying she would like to hear from me.

Now I'm no shrinking violet, but I've got to admit that her success, position and intelligence were a little overwhelming when we were talking.

Other than "be yourself," anyone have any notes, thoughts, advice on a subject like this?

Yes, I do feel lame posting this.
