Life doesn’t always go according to plan.

When one such detour happened, my brother-in-law said: “It’s not the end of the story.  It’s the middle of the story. Nobody likes to read a boring book; think of it as an interesting chapter.”

What a great metaphor to keep things in perspective. The book isn’t bad; just this part of it.  Keep reading!

About the Author:

I'm the chief connector at leadership dots where I serve as "the string" for individuals and organizations. Like stringing pearls together to make a necklace, "being the string" is an intentional way of thinking and behaving – making linkages between things that otherwise appear random or unconnected – whether that be supervising a staff, completing a dissertation or advancing a project in the workplace. I share daily leadership dots on my blog to provide examples of “the string” in action. I use the string philosophy through coaching, consulting and teaching to help others build capacity in themselves and their organizations. I craft analogies and metaphors that help people comprehend complex topics and understand their role in the system. My favorite work involves helping those new to supervision or newly promoted supervisors build confidence and learn the skills necessary to effectively lead their team.
