Over the weekend I crossed “skydive” off my personal bucket list.
The split second before I stepped out of the plane was a rush of what-ifs—until the harness check, altimeter tap, and nod from my instructor turned anxiousness into purpose.
45 seconds of free-fall, plus several minutes of glide time later, and I was grinning on solid ground, wondering why I’d waited so long.
We all keep a quieter bucket list at work:
- the legacy system we keep meaning to retire,
- the data feed we’re nervous to automate,
- the cybersecurity drill we never quite schedule.
Each feels like leaping into thin air—until we break it into clear steps and trust our gear.
