New year. Clear Priorities. Continuing to Build a Strong foundation.

Every Thursday at 5:30 am, I start the day at a men’s prayer gathering at Grace Family Church. It grounds me, challenges me, and sharpens my perspective in a way nothing else does.

Leadership gets noisy. Life gets full. This time creates space to reset, refocus, and remember what actually matters.

Grateful to begin the day with men seeking God, purpose, and real connection. It’s fuel no coffee can touch.

Productivity while traveling ✈️ ?

I do love that more airlines are offering free WiFi now. I even noticed a new status on an airline post recently: WFP (Working From Plane). Clever and optimistic...

It also made me think about another well-known phrase: “T-rex typing.”
You know the look. Laptop balanced on the tray table, shoulders hunched and elbows tucked in. If the seat in front of you reclines, suddenly you’re typing like a nervous dinosaur trying not to spill your drink!

If you’re going to WFP, a few ways to avoid full T-rex mode:

• Book a better seat. Bulkhead, exit row, or business class if you can. Any extra space helps at 35,000 feet. 
• Right-size your laptop. A 13–14 inch laptop is often easier to manage than a 16-inch screen. 
• Use simple accessories. An inflatable pillow under the laptop can help raise the screen, improve posture, and reduce neck strain. Low tech. Surprisingly effective.
• Adjust screen brightness. Especially on night flights. Your neighbors will thank you.

WFP is real. Just try not to land feeling like you need physical therapy and a nap.

Curious, what’s your go to trick for staying comfortable (or at least functional) when working from the air?

#WFP #BusinessTravel #TrexTyping

BCD Travel  and Delta Air Lines  are shaping the future of corporate travel, and GetGoing is excited to be part of it!

Worth a quick read if you’re wondering how this strategic partnership further enhances your travel program.
