Yesterday, I spent five hours driving from Toledo to Lombard (Chicago) with Megan Coyle Stamos, her dad, Joe Coyle and Josie Freeman. All three were heading to the session for funeral pre-planners that I am presenting at.
Josie and I sat in the back for the trip.
I have met with Josie over coffee previously, but I didn't get the flavor of her humor then. What I found out yesterday is that she is smart, funny, persistent and has resources that support her success. When we got close to Chicago and wanted a good place to eat, Josie called her sister and then was able to direct us immediately. She even knew exactly where to park.
I am really happy that I got this opportunity to get to know the REAL Josie.
What methods have you found that help you to find out the personality nuances of business friends?

In addition to traveling with people in a car for hours, sharing a room with them overnight (or longer) really gives you a great opportunity to know someone better. You not only get to talk and share, but you also get a closeup view of some of their habits that you might not otherwise discover.
(Don't worry, Debby, I won't reveal any of your secrets.)
