Jamal: I really Dread these annual Management meetings. We usually have To sit through the most boring Motivational speakers giving us Pep talks.
Cindy: I think you’ll be surprised by the person they’ve hired To kick off our meeting. She’s supposed to be a Guru on Crisis management.
Jamal: Oh no, not another one.
Cindy: This one has a lot of Real-world experience. She was a Fighter pilot who has apparently survived some very difficult Missions.
Jamal: What does a fighter pilot know about business? I can’t believe our company is Shelling out thousands of dollars on Speaking fees for someone like her to tell us how to do our jobs better.
Cindy: I think that the idea is to understand how other organizations and professions handle crises, which may Shed some light on how we can do things better.
Jamal: Well, I don’t have High hopes.
Cindy: Don’t you think she can teach us anything?
Jamal: Sure, in fact our speaker has inspired me to try to get on the Lecture circuit myself.
Cindy: What would you speak about?
Jamal: Avoiding Corporate waste!
