When we were children, Egan Christensen was my best friend. But then at 11 years old, he just disappeared. I am not embarrassed to say I was a little heartbroken at the time. There was no easy way to stay connected in the early 80’s so we lost touch. In this conversation we catch up after exactly 40 years. We reminisce of course but then we discover how much we have in common in our approach to leadership, customer relationships and business. He has had an incredible career in sales, service and strategy in global technology companies. It makes sense why those childhood memories have stuck with both of us all these years. Although we didn't realize it at the time, we shared values. This is one my best examples of how influences and experiences early in life can carry through into our leadership.

The pace of change and the uncertainty in almost all spheres of our lives today makes it difficult, if not impossible to predict the outcome of our decisions and actions. In this series, I will provide ideas, reflections and practices to help leaders, teams and organizations navigate this disruption to thrive through the uncertainty.
