Role Models in the Halls

Yesterday I had the chance to spend 10 unexpected minutes with the CEO of a major publicly traded corporation.  He was gracious, engaged and seemingly unaware of his other back-to-back appointments.  While we were visiting, it was as if ours was one of the many important appointments he had scheduled during the day. 

I often feel that I am racing from one appointment to another, happy to arrive on time to each. This CEO, who took the time to totally engage in a meaningful conversation in the midst of a crazy, busy schedule, has unintentionally served as a role model.  The role model lesson I learned was when golden opportunities arise, don't rush past the potential experience.
