Change is Constant - Deal with It.

The nature of our work requires us to never become comfortable that we have accomplished anything. While that may sound cynical, our gains are made in small, incremental ways. Getting a single person to change their behavior and become an influencer to others in their personal network is exactly our mission. The important part is that we spend our efforts in influencing the people that have the most established and relevant networks.

I understand that there are rumors of major management layoffs and reorganization at GWC before the end of the year. No doubt, there will be people leaving the company that had previously been those whom we have developed the closest relationships. Then again, on the other hand, if your influence has targeted the right people, perhaps evidence of our power will be seen when the "old school ideas" are removed from the company.

Watching the game from the stands, I would say it is probably not a good time to go for a beer. You don't want to miss the next series of plays.
