I just flew back from a speaking engagement. It was a rewarding and fun time, but as small as this part of my business life (speaking) can be, it was exhausting.
My last changeover in Atlanta was very tight. But after a swift train ride and a sprint for a scheduled 10:45 p.m. departure, I skidded to a stop at my gate to see the status board announce: “Delayed: Departure 11:20 p.m.” Whew. Made it. A small crowd of significantly bored people flipped through magazines in the waiting area.
