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.

[Mercedes’ presentation] was inspirational and caused me to change how I view what I do for this organization and in my life.

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
It was truly a blessing to meet you and hear firsthand your awesome story! For you are truly a walking, living and breathing testimony of God’s good grace. I believe that God allows us to encounter certain people in our lives at certain times in order to propel us towards our destiny. His Purpose is that you become what he has called you to be.

[Your presentation] was amazing, and the turnout was incredible. It was standing room only, which has never happened before. The feedback on the survey was very positive.

I don’t appreciate Instagram’s tone when she tells me “You’re all caught up for the day.” ... might as well be saying “you’ve seen enough today, go do something productive” 🤣
A lot of you have no clue what your mom’s taste is and are buying random merchandise on sale just to give her something for Mother’s Day and it shows

If I ever would have had a daughter, I hope she would have been just like this!
I believe she’s might be autistic, kinda makes you laugh her gestures but autism isn’t humorous. It does make you realize how she’s happy in her world.
She’s living her best life ❤️
Your dance moves written all over this❤️
I saw this the other day and was dying laughing
To the @NWMSU graduation class of 2005, I was honored to be the Bearcat Commencement Speaker. But I’m extremely thankful Robert F. Smith from Morehouse College didn’t go before me 😂. He announced he’d pay off ALL the graduation class’s student debt. I could never one-up that. Wow! So much goodness in this world! #ThePowerOfOne
God bless his heart ❤️
Wow, how awesome is that!!!
I'll let you buy me a drink, Mercedes Ramirez Johnson, if it'll make you feel better.
If we focus on everything we have wrong in our lives, we give them power and make them bigger. But if we shift our mindset to focus on all the little things that are good, they add up and grow bigger by your mindfulness about them. The grass will always be greener where you water it so stick with the good stuff!
So true. Thanks for the reminder!!
So true. Thanks for the reminder!!
Amen❤

True, I always find something I was stressing about last week, I don't even remember this week.
For so many years we were blessed with amazing nurses working in our home taking care of our medically fragile twins Dorian and Wynn. As a family, our lives would not have been the same without all their loving care, professionalism and unwavering dedication. Thanks to ALL the nurses out there ... because real heroes wear scrubs, not capes!This #NationalNursesWeek, and all year long, we honor the nurses and nurse practitioners who care for and refer our wish kids. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, wish kids have the hope and strength to fight their critical illnesses. Your smiles, hugs, positivity and care help change lives forever. 💙
Meet Dak Prescott, see these amazing cars, and help grant wishes for awesome kids. My friends at @makeawishNT are working hard to make this 3rd annual event fun for all!
