Becomming Crisis Proof

How do we best set ourselves up for success in any situation?

“Its better to have and not need then need and not have.”

Lets be honest. the diagram I attached is a little extreme. THese people really do be prepared for anything. Lets call this ideal and anything less a hazard. Believe it or not we already adapt to some of this stuff (after all, the ladies know not to wear heels if theres a risk or running.) All that needs doing is to ramp up our sensitivity level toward it.

Rarely if ever do we leave the house without our phone and keys. Add a pocket knife to that list. Most of us have a bag or backpack we tend to live out of at times, add a skivvy roll to the bottom of it. Small adjustments like these could very well save your life.

Now I mentioned earlier that the way these two are dressed is ideal. So if this is protocol I can't say wear a necklace. But I happen to be very fond of two necklaces, and wear one when i'm stressed and one when I'm overly happy. So that being said when I wear one I am below Ideal. AND THATS OK! Its ok to not be ideal in the way you work, as long as you prepare for it.

If you know that you are not “Ideal” Mark it. Give yourself and extra second of reaction time, be aware of that fact and work around it. Remember that sometimes you have to wear heels, sometimes you can't wear a jacket. But you can always calculate that risk into your actions
