Would You Be Ready?
While all of us are faced with negative challenges and nobody wants to dwell on them, we would be well served if we have given these situations some forethought. For example…
“Secure Your Own Mask First!”
For those of you who have ever been on a commercial airline flight in the United States, you are probably very familiar with this warning: “In the event of an unexpected decrease in cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from above your seat.

This is a question many people are asking. I believe it’s something we need to be looking at regularly.
The Change Leader
“The most effective way to manage change successfully is to create it.” These are the words of business management guru Peter Drucker.
