When the evening ended, I publicly thanked the soundman and asked the others to join me in showing my appreciation. The evening went well, and I could move about the stage with my hands free to help communicate my keynote thanks to the ingenuity of my Everyday Hero. One lady fitted me, and the battery/control box for the microphone now had a secure home. He’d taken a one-inch-wide, black Velcro strip and made a belt. He’d developed, or instead constructed, a solution. No big thing, and I continued to chat with arrivals and make new friends.įifteen minutes later, the soundman approached me. Oh dear, so I resigned to using a stationary mic. But when the time came for the soundman to attach the battery/control box, I discovered my dress didn’t have a waist or heavy material to clip the unit. I forgot though to pre-request a wireless earpiece microphone that would allow me to move about freely and show expression when needed. A checklist had prepared me with an early arrival, comfortable shoes, a memorized speech, smiles to make the ladies feel comfortable, and a dress that unpacked without a single wrinkle. I was scheduled to speak at a ladies’ event in another state. I treasure these people, and I strive to add their perception and intuitiveness to my character traits.Ī few weeks ago, I encountered an unforgettable everyday hero, a true angel in disguise. When they encounter a problem, they roll up their sleeves and help find a solution. Everyday heroes are kind, considerate, and compassionate.
