The Dream Team: GEC #1 and GEC #2

We've arrived-- Your team-- Global Economic Crisis #1 (me) and Global Economic Crisis #2 (my husband). Universal forces collided last week and husband and wife were liberated by Corporate Gods.

Change is good and in a matter of nanoseconds, the road warriors who were together only 2 nights a week are now living together 24x7 with two cats, a small home, and the onset of full time job hunts. In between mileage accumulation withdrawal fits, we've been checking our FF balances, hotel statuses, and car rental tiers to figure out what's next and then I saw your request! The adventure continues.....

We're a bit well known and not just by our friends-- An alter ego has a blog, complete with regular video installments. I've graced the hallways of the Fortune 100 in a black suit and crisp button down and in free travel spent time in forgotten parts of the world. Hubby is a nationally known sailing journalist and I am a management psychologist. Our spirit and adventures are well documented....

Strengths:

GEC #1
WOO-- Winning others over-- Cabbie's frequently propose marriage(even when my husband is in the taxi) and before 9/11 managed to find my way, to the very front of the 777 15 times on BA (that's sitting with the Capt and FO not F!)
Arranger-- There isn't a non business flight I've taken without an upgrade in the last several years
Responsibility-- Everything is done with integrity (and intensity)
Maximizer-- I see the "best" in everything and figure out how to unleash it

GEC #2
Adaptability-- Can handle ANY situation. Have you ever lost your rudder 600 miles from land and made it to your destination?
Achiever-- Gets results
Woo-- Yes, he does it too
Ideation-- This guy is creative!

Others report that they live vicariously through us.... Best of all, our schedules are WIDE open! Possible plans include a RTW trip to do research on the impact of the GEC on expat execs, but hey, you all can probably figure out that it is all about status maintenance.

Interested? More information available! Just say the word.....
