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.

The presentation was very uplifting and a unique way to show how actions in an everyday workplace could cause a serious event.
, Todd Frace, Participant
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.
, Faculty Member
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
Mercedes’ message gave me new insights and showed me ways to overcome obstacles in my career and personal life. It even motivated me to get out in the field and make some sales!

Stranded due to @FAASafetyBrief grounding #Boeing 737s but *thankful* the US stopped dragging its feet & halted the ops of these planes. #SafetyFirst ... I don’t need to be in another plane crash, I might not be as lucky again #AAFlight965 😞

Did you know I survived a Boeing 757 plane crash on my 21st birthday? Did you know that’s how I lost my parents? Out of 164 souls on board, all but 4 died when the plane crashed right into the side of the Andean peak near Cali, Colombia named Monte Delulvio. Translated, Mount Deluvio means Mount F...1 in 10 people in this country live with a debilitating rare disease. So proud to celebrate their journeys and show support today on #RareDiseaseDay ... So proud of my 2 brave angels Dorian & Wynn who’s cards were left with lawmakers in the house & senate in DC too! #mps #icell #ML2 #RareDiseaseIsNotRare
Your boys were lucky to have such a wonderful Momma!
Hi Mercedes 🙏❤️
You have been an inspiration to us all. You have carried your cross with love and courage
Over 2.8 million Texans have a rare disease. Thank you Senator John Cornyn (R-Tx) for carving out time for your legislative assistant Patrick to meet with me yesterday. As a constituent it meant a lot that your team was open to learning about #RareDiseaseWeek and the need for families to have access to continued #NewBornScreenings to help them immediately get treatment for their babies born with #MPS many other degenerative diseases. The earlier these precious babies get diagnosed, the sooner the disease can get caught in it tracks before irreversible damage is done to their delicate bodies, and the smaller drain it is to the healthcare system by missing the diagnosis for months/if not years. #NIHfunding research will continue to help the 2.8 million Texans find hope in medical breakthroughs and treatments. THANK YOU! #MPSinDC #FridgeFullyStockedWithDrPepper :)
Mercedes, You’re an amazing woman! Congratulations 🙏🏻
You are AMAZING my friend! So proud of all you do! 🙌🏼💗

Mercedes we are proud you and your commitment to this cause and so many other things you are passionate about raising awareness for. May God continue to bless you and open sores for your cause.
Thank you to Sarah for meeting with us on behalf of Congressman Joe Kennedy III and intently listening to our ask for #NewbornScreenings for #MPS and other degenerative diseases that can be quickly diagnosed and treated before irreversible damage is done to their medically fragile bodies. In our country 1 in 10 people are living with a rare disease. Thank you for being on our side for providing access to healthcare and robust #ResearchFundingForNIH & the FDA to continue to make medical breakthroughs in treatments for our precious children!
