EP #209: There are No Accidents
It’s up to you to make everything count.
Some say everything happens for a reason. I think they do but that reason is to give you an opportunity for some thing great.
I’ve been close to death a few times but one time in particular provides a great metaphor for accidents in business.
The unexpected often requires a quick decision making. This episode is about using this great skill to ensure positive outcomes even when something you could not anticipate happens.
Take note of how poise is a replicable thing and great leaders are able to model it for the next generation.
Have a generous day.
