Journal of today’s activities:

This morning I gave a presentation on our Straight-A Guide to a sales force. It was my first time using this story I’ve lived since 1987 to a group of sales professionals. I enjoyed helping them understand the importance of defining values and goals, and then moving with thoughts and actions that reflect a 100 percent commitment to those values and goals. The team learned from the message. Following that 90 minute presentation, I worked with the leadership of the organization. I was with the CEO, the COO, the CFO, and the sales leaders for several hours. Together we discussed a strategy for moving forward. In light of this opportunity to contribute, together with my responsibilities to our foundation, I’m concluding that it may be best for Carole and me to relocate. We’re now contemplating the challenge of coordinating a transition to Southern California. Life can change quickly, which is why I rely upon the Straight-A Guide to stay focused.
