The importance of Plan B

Last week we had a wedding in Wanaka. It had been miserable the day before the wedding. In fact it had been snowing.

As our plane came in to land at Queenstown the captain announced that we would be circling while they waited for the weather to clear enough to see the runway. 45 minutes later there was another announcement that we were about to try a final approach for landing.

The Airline had a Plan B. If we couldn’t land we’d fly back to Christchurch and they’d drive us back by bus (six hideous hours).

Our own Plan B was to drive ourselves …and we could because we had enough time (we’d planned it that way).

Our other Plan B involved friends in the area who are amazing photographers … we could call them in.

Our other other plan B was a variation of the last one, where we went through the list of local photographers!

Stress is one of the major causes of health issues. The best way to deal with stress is to have good solid Plan B in place, so that you have a way to deal with the worst case scenario.

Plan B is a personal and professional responsibility.

Cheers, Johannes
