Thank you so much for featuring me on your blog Speak Inc. alongside Shawn Achor and Neil Pasricha!
What a week it has been! I love what I do, but sometimes it’s an adventure.

Spoke in Sedona, AZ on Sunday. Scheduled on a red-eye flight back to Orlando to speak Monday morning at 10:45. Shortly after midnight the flight was cancelled.

By morning, my friends at EGSA moved my keynote to Tuesday morning at 10:45.

Perfect.

Except I was scheduled to be in the studio for a live virtual event at noon.

Fortunately, I am blessed to have incredible clients and partners who came to my rescue. Heroes one and all.

First, to the EGSA heroes. What an honor to share the hero effect with your members. Real deal difference makers who solve problems and keep things running in the midst of crisis.

To my friends at The Save Mart Companies. What a joy to bring our story virtually to the store managers of Save Mart, Lucky California and FoodMaxx. Heroes who serve their customers, communities and colleagues at a high level everyday.

To my friend and producer Walter Lowe at Blackburst Entertainment who brought the studio to the hotel and made some magic happen.
