STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- Hillary Clinton is set to hobnob with world leaders and the biggest names in business, politics, academia and philanthropy -- not to mention celebrities -- at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City, fresh off her re-entry into the political fray at the Iowa Steak Fry.
The two settings couldn't be more different: one a huge family reunion-style gathering in a field dotted with farm equipment, the other a star-studded roster of events in swanky midtown Manhattan hotel ballrooms where Leonardo DiCaprio, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Melinda Gates, among (many, many) other prominent people will make appearances. Clinton's challenge, if she runs for president a second time, will be showing she is just as comfortable with Iowa's steak fry crowd as with New York and Washington's elite.
As she spends this fall campaigning for vulnerable Democrats trying desperately to maintain control of the Senate, Clinton needs to show she understands the problems of everyday Americans, even though she rubs shoulders with world leaders and the uber rich.
She will flex political muscles that have atrophied since her 2008 presidential run and try to avoid making errors like those that punctuated her reintroduction to public life this summe: a book tour bookended by gaffes -- including her remark that she and her husband were "dead broke" -- and her phone call to President Obama in which she apologized for disparaging his foreign policy in an interview with The Atlantic.

Hillary Clinton's fall to-do list
Hillary Clinton is known for having perhaps the most loyal inner circle in politics, sometimes loyal to a fault.
With the speculation of another Clinton bid for the presidency rising to a boil, The Hill looks at five insiders who promise to play a big role in the would-be campaign.
Cheryl Mills
Perhaps the most trusted aide in Hillaryland, Mills served as chief of staff and counselor during Clinton's tenure at the State Department, handling everything from personnel matters to management and operations at Foggy Bottom.
Those familiar with the Clinton operation say that if there's anyone who get the wheels greased in the lead-up to a potential presidential bid for Clinton, it will be Mills.
She holds the keys the castle, one former Hillary aide said. If there's one singular go-to for the Secretary, she's the one.
Minyon Moore
A senior adviser to Hillary Clinton during her 2008 run, expect Moore to play an even bigger role in a second campaign.
While she now works as a strategist at Dewey Square Group in Washington, she has a constant and direct line of communication with the former secretary of State on both professional and personal matters.
Like Mills, Moore also has long-running ties to the former first couple. She served in the Clinton White House as assistant to the President and director of White House Office of Political Affairs as well as the White House public liaison director.
