In our world today, we can get caught up in Fear. Fear of what is happening in our world and in what is going on right around us. There is a feeling of panic and a general “what if…” right?

Today rather than a video for you, we wanted to send our love and concern. These are troubled times and no matter where you are in our world, things are in an uproar.

This past week, I was on the phone with my local board of the National Speakers Association. We were having our monthly phone conference call and reviewing our current situation. We had been encouraged by our National group to “stay strong and set a standard for our industry and for our organization” as the cancellation of meetings and conferences was beginning to tumble. We ended that call about 10 minutes before I boarded my plane to head to an all-day speaking event that I had. We were set. The meeting was on! This is our biggest meeting of the year…eight hours long with 15 phenomenal speakers. I am heading this meeting up entirely and had worked about 60 hours getting everything in place for this. This is our fundraiser for the year, and as a non-profit group, we count on this event and the profits that it brings.

Two hours later, my plane landed and before we were even complete with taxiing into the jet way, I took my phone off airplane mode to have my phone blowing up with messages and phone calls. Yes, the Governor of Utah had announced the cancellation of all meetings of over 100 people, schools would be closed, church would be cancelled and life as we knew it would be put on hold for the next few weeks or more.

I spent the next six hours taking phone calls, making hard decisions, crafting emails and cancelling our biggest event of the year. I also spent those hours finding out that the next eight speaking engagements over the next eight weeks would all be cancelled as well. This would mean that I would have no income and would change the trajectory of my 2020 year that was off to an incredible start for my career and I had everything headed in a direction that would make for the best year I had ever had. Now it was all down the toilet and looking like a disaster as I step into the Presidential position of the National Speakers Association Mountain West Chapter with our entire chapter of well over 200 speakers having the worst year many have ever faced. Talk about a heavy feeling!

With all of that said, my heart and mind go out to you. I know that you are having turmoil in your world as well. I know of the empty shelves in the stores and the panic in our states. Our economy will be taking a hit. Our financial diversity is taking the biggest hit ever and yes, we are also in an election year, that poses to be a bit of turmoil too.

With EVERYTHING hitting us from all directions it is easy to get caught up in the fear and uncertainty. It is easy to panic and to go into all the negative emotions.

It is easy to let society set the tone and the media get us all in a frenzy…. BUT, We do not have to respond in this way!

We want to encourage you to BE all that you can BE!
