Off Course - On Target: The Story
Some of you may be wondering why I decided to name my blog "Off Course - On Target". Of course with me, as you might imagine, there's a story. In fact, it goes back to a serendipitous meeting I had with Charles Garfield.
He and I were both keynote presenters at a conference. Being strangers in a strange land, so to speak, we went out for dinner the night before the conference. Charles told me a fascinating story about his work as one of the chief engineers on one of the Apollo space missions. He related the story of one of the greatest hurdles they ran into…a hurdle so big that it almost led to the cancellation of the Apollo missions themselves.
