It seems like only yesterday we were worried about what would happen when the computers hit the year 2000. Now it’s nearly 2017 and a lot has changed. Just think about technology. They said the word “laptop” with the same reverence of someone talking about the “goose that laid the golden egg.”

When I was appointed to my first CEO role in 2001 I had no idea how I was going to keep up with the demands. I had many direct reports, a Board of Directors to report to and everyone wanting a piece of you. There had to be a way to get control of what was going on in my life. I dug deep into learning ways to control my schedule and not let it control me. We all have the same amount of time. There is always time to get things done and have some fun.

It is November 2017 and I am boarding a flight home from a conference in the USA. I was tired and feeling like s**t. It had not been a great year at work, in my own head and physically and psychologically I was not in a great place. I spent most of the year not caring about what I ate or drank; whether I exercised or not; and, feeling like I was going in circles.

It can be a little stressful to imagine. Look, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over. –

With public service and remembrance increasingly becoming intertwined with the anniversary of September 11, 2001, groups around the country are doing their part to reflect upon and build from the events of that day. While the years since the tragic events of September 11, 2001, will forever be associated with the devastating effects of terrorism, the anniversary of those attacks has also grown into one closely associated with reflection and public service.
