FIRE

One particular day, in the instant I pushed the fire button on the blasting machine I immediately knew we were in deep trouble. The marsh shot up and toward us like a giant wall of mud, stumps and trees.

My instant reaction was to run. In fact, I turned and instantly broke into a full stride! Moments later, debris was hitting the ground around me. Unable to dodge what I couldn’t see, I stopped and turned around to avoid being hit. Fortunately when the dust settled, I was still alive, and able to take away a valuable insight about change management during times of challenge and sudden, difficult, unpleasant adversity.
