Get It Right Today, Not Tomorrow
Do your employees and leaders too often operate in Survival Mode, putting out fires and putting off until tomorrow what should be done today? This program powerfully dispels the notion that there will always be a tomorrow in which we can finish today’s unfinished business and moves individuals to work and live with intentionality.

Safety: Don’t Count on 2nd Chances
Can too much experience be a bad thing? Absolutely…if it leads to complacency. The highly experienced pilots of Flight 965 were lulled into a false sense of security that led to the deaths of 160 people. Mercedes’ one-of-a-kind safety presentation uses the factual account of the crash of Flight 965 as an anchor to drive home the dangers of complacency and the importance of situational awareness.

You were the talk of the Convention. You held our members in rapt attention. I enjoyed your video, but it did not do you justice! Your presentation is so much more powerful.
, Susan Logan, Operations Director
Mercedes’ presentation added a very thought-provoking element to our leadership development program. Based on feedback from our participants, we’ve invited her to be one of our standing keynote speakers.
, Tracy Madison, Leadership Program Trainer
Thank you for sharing your tragic, yet inspiring story with us. It certainly helped us gain a new perspective on life. You helped us all realize that we can deal with change and that we should cherish this very special gift called life.
, Mark Litzler, CEO
I was very touched by Mercedes’ speech. I put myself in her place. I think this should be presented at every safety meeting. On a scale of 1 to 5, I would give her a 10!
, Sital Amin, Conference Participant
Great! Ten stars to her and her mission. I would love to have more information on where and how I can see more of her presentations.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice for our nation. 🇺🇸
I pray we move forward as a unified nation... as ONE United States of America. 2020 had been hard enough on its own, no need to make it harder by our own actions / words. We share MUCH more in common than not. Let’s usher in a better 2021. 🇺🇸

Since the beginning of quarantine, I dove into my new hobby of cultivating houseplants 🪴 ... the picture of this article drew me to read it, but the message of hard work and the love of family reminded me what this week is all about. What are you thankful for?

Mercedes Ramirez Johnson In 1995, Mercedes Ramirez Johnson narrowly survived a commercial airplane crash that killed 160 people, including her parents. As one of only four survivors of this tragedy, she vowed that she would make her second chance at life count…and she has – not only for herself,...Every year my friends and I throw a big Halloween party benefitting Make-A-Wish North Texas . There’s never a shortage of laughs, dancing, outrageous costumes and spooky libations. This year due to covid we weren't able to act like kids again for a good cause.
So instead I was thankful for the chance to send Sunshine Boxes (care packages) to Wish Kids patiently waiting for their wishes to be granted. Hundreds of brave kids in my area have had their wish postponed because of covid, but it was nice to see the guys at the The UPS Store #3902 (west Plano) get into the spirit and help me fill these boxes to capacity. Thanks guys for helping bring smiles to the awesome recipients of these packages throughout Dallas... you definitely made it fun!
