Sustainability is our responsibility. We can help you on your journey.
An incredible parable was displayed in front of us last week. A three-vehicle crash resulted in this Sysco semi-truck dangling over the bridge, with the Ohio River in full view below. Thankfully, the story ends well- a trained rescue team saved the occupants from the tractor in a tense, 40-minute exercise. If you allow yourself to imagine the terror of this moment from the driver's view, you may not sleep well tonight. You can almost hear the screech of twisted metal and the creaks of the bridge that is holding you back from certain devastation. You can feel the heartbeats pounding, the octaves of increasing pitches in their screams- until, miraculously, everything comes to a halt. Nothing is okay yet- but everything is at a standstill. Help arrives quickly. Feelings of relief flood your system, beaten back by the ever-present fear the situation demands. You make your calls home. You fight to stay calm. Consciously, you know this could end very badly for you, but you have hope. You have to have hope. Soon, you are given information and directions. You nod your head in reply. And in a short time that feels like a dozen lifetimes, you are in the arms of a rescuer, out of your tractor, and dangling in mid-air. You would be more terrified, but the arms of the rescuer have you believing that you are going to be ok. This is a horrible chapter in your story, but it is not the end. And soon after that, your feet are on the bridge you were dangling over a few minutes prior. Your breath finally releases gasps that almost sound like cries. You are going to be ok. You are going to be ok. Our personal and professional lives can take a sharp, unexpected turn for the worst. You may feel as if you are the driver of this semi- facing the worst you can imagine, uncertain if or where help may materialize, or if the help will arrive on time and be able to lift you to safety. Your family, support teams, and friends are there to help you get back on that bridge when you face a crisis in your personal life, but our professional lives don't find rescuers quite that easily. Prioritize the partners in your life- you will never know when you need the right ones to protect you, let alone rescue you. Unleash uncommon results. https://lnkd.in/eisVzJET
