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.

[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.

The presentation was very uplifting and a unique way to show how actions in an everyday workplace could cause a serious event.

The group found your messages important and very inspiring as we were coming out of our busiest time of the year. It is very easy for us to get trapped in the routine of our daily lives. Thank you!

Fathers Day is coming up this weekend and I want to give a special recognition to the fathers of children living with rare diseases. All great dads are a blessing to their children, their wives, their families and their entire community! But it takes a *very special man* to be the father of a special needs child battling through the fight of their life.“My son Noah was diagnosed in 2009 with CLN2 Batten disease after an 18-month diagnostic journey. My Daughter Laine was diagnosed a few months later. No treatment was available back in 2009, but that has changed and there is now an FDA-approved therapy which dramatically impacts patients. What has not changed is the rapid neurological decline experienced without treatment. #Newbornscreening has the ability to impact patients BEFORE the disease manifests. I want all CLN2 Batten children to be diagnosed at birth, so these children can access therapy before it is too late” – Tracy VanHoutan, Rare Dad
Anyone can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a rare dad. In honor of #FathersDay and all #raredads, please ask your Member of Congress to co-sponsor the #NewbornScreeningSavesLivesAct H.R. 2507 today. It only takes a minute. bit.ly/2LiYRoj
