And speaking of women, Mimi has a thing or two to tell them about what they're not getting right when they're playing with the boys.  In fact, Mimi thinks women could benefit from wrapping their heads around sports to improve their ability to playing in the big leagues of business.  We'll have my interview with Mimi plus my public speaking tip of the week here on "Full Speech Ahead!"…
