I hope this email finds you well while we face this sweltering heat !! It’s interesting that when we get weather like this, we tend to slow down because it’s so oppressive and that’s a good move.

Ironically, we don’t take the same approach when it comes to the pace of work. We seem to be constantly flying around as if running at a breakneck speed is deemed as being a “performer.” Honestly, it just means you’re always moving. I’d venture to speculate that it may even hinder the best performance you could give.

What if we considered a different approach? The topic for the September Roundtable is - ”How Can We Adopt a Measured Approach to Work (and Life) ??”

To participate, you’re going to need to take a break from your hectic pace to join us on Tuesday, 9/5/23 from 8:30am to 9:30am at Scarlet Oaks in the Annex next to the High School Cafeteria. (directions are below)

Yes, I know this is the day after Labor Day. That’s okay. We’ve been meeting the day after the holiday for many, many years now and we always get a very full room. This should be the same.

Let me break into your daily pattern one more time and ask you to please take a moment and respond to this announcement to let me know if you can attend next month by emailing me at - sbrowne@larosas.com

I hope everyone who is able can make it. Please let me know.

Thanks – Steve
