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.

Truly inspired to know that the future looks incredibly bright for the young women of the National Charity League. Thank you for inviting me to your special banquet celebrating your seniors and I was so excited to be in front of a LIVE audience in person again!
Received this email from Etsy this week. Having lost my mom and two sons of my own, #MothersDay can be a little rough. I appreciate Etsy’s empathy towards sons/daughters/mamas just like me.
When I lost my mom in the 90’s I’d get so sad seeing all the Mother’s Day commercials on TV. I know many beautiful people in my life who have lost their own children, or have lost their dear mamas who are the most lovely souls you’d ever have the honor of knowing.
Although I choose to celebrate Mother’s Day, I’ll always have a little moment of prayer and reflection for my angels on that special day.
Sending virtual hugs to all that are in the same boat. Thank you Etsy for thinking of us.
I understand!! You are so strong. Hugs
Un abrazo MUY fuerte!

As today is World Down Syndrome Day, what a nice story of young adults with special needs making the best of their lives and the people with big enough hearts to give them that opportunity 💙.
