Expect the Unexpected

We think we know what’s going to happen. 

We’re prepared, relaxed. Maybe even confident.

But poof! Things go haywire and, despite our planning, strategizing and evaluation of risks, we’re in a very different place than anticipated.

“Expect the unexpected.”

This ancient wisdom, attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus and popularized by Oscar Wilde and football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, is as relevant today as it was in 500 BCE.

Why? Because the unexpected happens a lot.

The question becomes not “how the heck did this happen” but “how will we react, adjust, and move on?”

If you’re dealing well with the unexpected, bravo!

If you're not, maybe it’s time to speak with a Professional Certified Coach.
