A message from our President:

May President’s Message by Bryan Karrick

I have a fault and I’m not proud of it. My brain functions so that if something happens in my life, I play the shoulda, coulda, woulda game. It drives me crazy. There is nothing I can do to change what has already happened. I’m not the only one who plays this game, but with age comes wisdom, and I’ve learned to use it to my advantage.

I think more strategically about the decisions I make to ensure they lead to the outcomes I hope to achieve. This is why an exercise recommended by my friend and fellow board member, Trevor Boucher, is so fascinating to me.
