Whether you run the whole show or lead a team inside a company, one unexpected disruption — illness, loss, sudden absence, leadership change, or client crisis — can throw everything off course.
Without a plan, the fallout costs time, money, and credibility you can’t afford to lose.
When Disruption Hits, Will Your Business Hold Together?
When the Unexpected Hits, Will Your Business Hold Together?
Most leaders have plans for cyber threats or power failures — but few are ready for personal loss, sudden absence, or leadership change. These events are real, they’re personal, and they can derail everything you’ve worked for.
If you couldn’t work for a week, would things keep running?
If a key team member vanished tomorrow, would you know exactly what to do — without guessing?
Without a plan, the fallout costs time, money, and credibility you can’t afford to lose.
