President-Elect's Message

Do you ever have that dream where you are halfway through the college semester, and you realize with terror that you’ve forgotten about a class you’re registered for, and you never attended it? It’s too late to drop and you are going to FAIL. To this day I still have this dream (nightmare) frequently. I’ve finally figured out why. Like so many of us, I am terrified of making mistakes. To combat this fear, I work incredibly hard to be as prepared and detail oriented as I can be for anything that comes my way.


However, regardless of any preparation on my part, I know I am going to make mistakes sometimes. I’m human! What I’ve learned is how I handle the fallout from my mistakes can make all the difference in how I emerge on the other side.


I am especially looking forward to our August Chapter Program, The Art of the Apology, when strategic marketing and communications master Mindia Whittier will guide us through the process of how to respond to organizational-sized mistakes thoughtfully and authentically! I hope you will join our chapter in person at Tarrant County College River Campus on August 8 where we will soak in the knowledge of owning up to our mistakes gracefully.


Until then, wishing you peaceful sleep and productive days!


Hillary Bessinger, CFRE
