I was thinking the other day about how I got to where I am now.  I didn't intend to set out to write a blog about life and work for Amy Webb.  I didn't plan to spent 15 years leading radio training bootcamps.  I didn't intend to teach a graduate level class in New York City, work for community radio, sit on a lot of airplanes or co-create and manage an entrepreneurship program for future start-up moguls.  Nope, there's almost nothing I do now that I established as a goal years ago.

A colleague and great friend has this at the bottom of her e-mail:  "Not all paths are straight and not all meanings are apparent. Enjoy your journey."  

Even though I may not have realized it at the time, I did make some clear decisions a year ago that led me to where I am now.  One of them was choosing to continue to ride along with those whom I have been coaching not add new people. I've found it vital that once I've built a relationship, it be maintained. In a world of unexpected surprises and fluctuations, it's one thing that I try to keep stable and unchanged. But it wasn't always so.
