Always a desire to get ahead. That’s why he joined this company. Always looking to be promoted to the next level. Entry level position, mid level, senior management that was his career path. And he was on a fast track to become a C level executive. His key to success: “Be Organized.”
As he prepared for his staff meeting he went through his checklist:
- Bacon…check
- Eggs…check
- Tomato Juice…check
- Cheese…check
- Oatmeal…check
- Silverware…check
- Laptop up and running…check
- Speaker Phone On…check
Julie, the first on the ZOOM call, said to Mr. Organized Man, “Hey Boss, you conducting the meeting in your underwear.?
Oh Danny Boy! 
This made me smile, lovely

The technology improves rapidly. Humans, not so much. I need to work on my zoom prep, which includes at least one self check in a mirror. Fun story.

And heaven help you with what you see when you look down. In TV interviews I always check out what books are on the back wall.
