Chapter 24. Monday
"That's very kind of you," he said. "My name is Walter."
"Well, hello, Walter," Hope said, as she gave him another big smile and continued on to face the executive team.
Dan was getting ready to share his three-point plan via a phone call with the media, and then Hope would present the No Complaining Rule to the executive team. Hope was thrilled when Dan called her over the weekend to let her know that he was going to share Hope's positive principles with the media as part of the three-point plan. He also told her he was looking forward to hearing Hope's plan for the No Complaining Rule and reminded her that he would likely share a general overview with the board at 2 P.M. Hope felt the pressure, but she was ready. Ready to share a powerful way to deal with negativity at work. Ready to make Jim eat crow. Ready to show the executive team that she was back and stronger than ever. Ready to help Dan save EZ Tech. Ready to make her company a more positive place. Ready to prove to herself that she could make an impact. She was so focused on delivering a successful presentation that she didn't even think about her test results. She completely forgot that today was the day when she would hear either good news or bad news about the tests.
