I am catching my breath today. After two months of sprinting on multiple deadlines -- two annual reports, four newsletters, a video shoot, a photo shoot, the summing up of a planning effort and the beginning of a leadership formation project, not to mention employee recruitment and the startup of a new venture for our firm - it feels like we're on top of things at Signal Hill, at last. But it has been an uphill climb, made more challenging by last-minute changes, technical problems, some difficult interactions with team members and clients, plus the inevitable hiccups as mission-driven people run with each other but don't always understand each other.
