What’s Your Disruption?

November 15, 2019 by Steve Laswell

The news regarding my future was like a hand-grenade tossed in a swimming pool. In a matter of 2 minutes, significant disruption entered the Story. My position, as Station Manager, would be eliminated from the 2008 budget.

Attempting to absorb the shock of that Friday afternoon meeting, I asked Dan, “Are you telling me I’m not coming back Monday?”

I believed it.

Last week, I used Medicare for the first time at Oschner Chiropractic Centre. It was on my birthday; yes, that one. 

Last week, I heard myself repeating, “When I turned 50, I said ’50 is the new 40.’ Let me tell you, 65 is NOT the new 55.” (Smiles and laughter.)

How Leaders Help

August 30, 2019 by Steve Laswell

 Who needs help?

Frankly, it’s been a “season” of life for me. A lot of “Life happens” stuff has happened. I’ll spare you the details. I know “everybody has a Story” and the point is not to compare notes, the purpose is to acknowledge the reality of life. The Journey includes disruption, resistance, opposition, distractions, setbacks, and breakthroughs. The uncertainty of the world affects our lives, work, families, and…
