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.

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.

'I am smart. I am blessed. I can do anything.' 3-year-old recites positive message on walk to school
youtu.be
"I am smart. I am blessed. I can do anything." That positive phrase is inspiring millions after a video of 3-year-old Ayaan saying that to himself was posted...I can’t control anyone around me. I can’t control their thoughts, their actions nor their opinions. But this year I’m promising myself to be better; a better mother, a better sister, a better friend, and a better colleague. The only thing I can control is the energy I bring into a room, the empathy behind my words, and the goodness in my actions. In leading with goodness, I can be a positive influence to everyone around me. Together we can create our own mobs of healing, mobs of community unity, and mobs of kindness. Will you join me in making 2021 the year of goodness by bringing out the best in ourselves, too? Let’s do this!
Absolutely!!! I would love to see ALL of the name calling stop. It’s ridiculous, childish and only fueling the fires.
1000% Agreed
Keep up the good work Mercedes. ✌🏼
Best thing I've read on social media today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My birthday is always bitter sweet since it's also the annivesary of the plane crash that took my parent's life. Not a day goes by that I don't miss these two incredible people that I was fortunate enough to call my parents. Other passengers’ relatives who lost loved ones are sharing picutres of theirs as tribute who perished on American Airlines Flight 965, 25 years ago today on twitter. Praying for all whose lives were changed on 12/20/1995.

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?
