2009 will certainly be a year that leaders will remember!  The challenges just keep coming.  For many leaders, the bad news has been relentless.  Yet, at the same time, the challenges have forced reflection, renewal and change. How often have we talked about how nothing is constant but change!  And yet I, for one, frequently spouted that phrase without any real emotional connection.  Seems like it takes on new meaning when times are really tough.   Change arrives whether we want it or not, whether we are ready for it or not, whether we are equipped to survive it or not.   Miller Consultants has entered our 30th year of business during these hard times.  In celebration, we decided to reconnect with all of our clients - or as many as we could find - to catch up and find out how all are faring in this down economy.  Little did we know that the stories we would hear and the relationships we would reestablish would inspire us to work even harder and smarter, and would fill us with gratitude. We are not only grateful to our clients for the first 30 years of service and relationships, we are ready to move forward towards this uncertain future, renewed and reinvigorated.  Leaders take note!  No matter how daunting the challenges, take the time to reconnect with those parts of your work that you really love and the people who make it all worth it.
