No matter what level your business lunch is at, they're really the same

How different is Hillary Clinton’s power lunch from your power lunch (or your “business lunch” if you prefer)? Would a CEO of a major international corporation do things differently than an entry-level salesperson at a power lunch?

At its core, a power lunch is a business lunch is a power lunch. They’re the same animal. They all follow the same overall structure; the same blueprint. In this article from the New York Times, we see Mrs. Clinton following the same guidelines that you and I do:

Lunch consisted mainly of coffee, tea and cookies (at Oscar’s, though, where they ate, a single order of coffee goes for $4). The bill came to $85. Mrs. Clinton, who invited the others to lunch, paid personally and left a $35 tip.

Of course, she probably gets more VIP treatment than the rest of us, but hey, she is the Secretary of State.
