Top of Mind Thursday February 9, 2017: Till the Fat Lady Sings
The old adage says that the show isn’t over till the fat lady sings. In the case of Sunday’s Super Bowl, that song came in overtime.
If you checked the game score at halftime, it looked like the Atlanta Falcons were trouncing the New England Patriots. If you looked again in the third quarter, it looked like the Patriots were catching up but Atlanta could hold on. If you checked in the fourth quarter, you saw the game tied, and then won by the Patriots in overtime.
Football strategists will argue for months about what the Falcons did wrong and the Patriots did right. But the most relevant fact for both teams was that the Patriots kept going, never giving up until, with momentum on their side, they scored the final touchdown that won the game.
How many times do we give up because it looks like we’ve got no chance to pull out a victory? How often are we ready to concede defeat before the contest is really over?
As Yogi Berra said, it ain’t over till it’s over. And on Sunday, when it was over, it was the Patriots that were singing, not the Falcons.

Top of Mind Thursday February 2, 2017: Owning Your Story
Yesterday, I had the privilege to attend the 3rd annual Watermark Conference for Women in San Jose.
Over 6500 people, mostly women, this event to hear speakers like Sheryl Sandberg, and former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Condoleeza Rice.
But it was award-winning actress Viola Davis,fresh off winning a SAG award for Best Supporting Actress in the film Fences, who was most inspirational.
She talked about growing up in abject poverty, as one of 5 children of grade-school educated parents. She talked about the taunting and abuse she suffered in school, and how she learned to run away rather than to stand there and take it. She talked about being inspired by Cicely Tyson to find a calling as an actor. She talked about how, despite her accomplishments she did not feel comfortable in her own success until just recently.
Most importantly, she talked about discovering your own story and owning it. Know who you are, what you stand for, where you come from, and where you want to go. Don’t be afraid to own your own story.
What’s your story?
