Last Friday my friend and personal trainer, Patrick, video-taped an unexpected tumble after my work-out in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park. Two seconds of terror turned quickly into a good laugh at myself.

It reminded me how everyone, and not just CEOs, often get so wrapped up in our day-to-day activities that we only become aware of big problems and opportunities too late. This is particularly true about the current world crisis that few were prepared for. I hope we will look back at the fear and uncertainty many of us are dealing with right now and find some relief in knowing that we bounced back, stronger, better and happier.

Thanks to Patrick for being such a good sport and my dog, Bella, for being…well…Bella.
