It was SHOWTIME as the corporate magician for Cardinal Health!

SHOWTIME DEFINITION: “Always being prepared to be at your best, as you never know when you might be in the spotlight”

A nice high profile event with many members of the senior team in addition to their Chairman and CEO Mr. George Barret. So a nice audience….one that I never expected.

What originally began as the master of ceremony for the two day event in addition to the keynote speaker for a particular segment was interrupted a few days prior when one of the execs decided to emcee the event themselves. No problem at all – totally their call and hard feelings. I was then asked to fill that time in the trade show gallery with some strolling magic, which was also great. Love to do it.

So about 3 hours into the strolling magic that day I was interrupted by my client with a request. “The Chairman is going to be a bit delayed, we need you on stage in 3 hours.”

So how do you react? What do you think? Coincidentally, I heard a great line yesterday which I quote “You can tell a true professional – not when things go perfectly, but when things go wrong”
