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.

Very informative and captivating. A message that makes you think heavily about our own safety culture, and a message we can take back to our employees. Very, very well done.
, Shawn Mydynski, HSE Coordinator
Mercedes was spectacular. One of the best commencement addresses I’ve heard in 30 years. I wish I’d kept track of all the glowing comments made about her speech.
, Dr. Dean Hubbard, President
Mercedes’ very personal presentation captivated, inspired and uplifted our audience. This impassioned young woman’s story of determination and leadership in the face of adversity has many beneficial lessons.
, R.J., Regional Project Manager
I want to thank you for coming into my life with your story. You showed me that no matter how desperate things may seem, no matter how low our spirits may get, we are in control of the outcome. I was so touched by your story and how strong you are. People have always told me that special people were put on this earth to inspire others to do better in their lives. After meeting you, I see that it is true.
, Chris Havis, Scientist
Words cannot describe how much your speech touched my heart. I have seen many inspirational speakers in my lifetime, but I have never been as moved as I was last night. It would be fair to say that Zig Ziglar and Tony Robbins have some competition. This world needs more people like you.

When my friends and my children tease me for crying for anything (movies, commercials, stories, etc) I’ll just show them a montage of Roy Williams crying over everything and then maybe they won’t think I’m so delicate.
Looking forward to joining fellow rare disease advocates in DC next month!!!
One of the best lessons we can teach our children is that everyday they need to earn their seat at the table (in sports, in school, in relationships, jobs etc) because nobody owes them anything. 🧐😎🧐
