In a world that moves fast and demands even faster decisions, being prepared isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a superpower. That’s why we’re thrilled to spotlight Tara as this month’s Unicorn, embodying the habit of “The Prepared” with excellence and intention.
Inspired by Chapter 6 of Be the Unicorn
In Be the Unicorn, William Vanderbloemen dedicates an entire chapter to the idea that preparedness is what separates the good from the unforgettable. Tara captured this perfectly in her reflection:
“Being prepared isn’t just a good habit, it’s a game changer.”
Whether she’s stepping into a client meeting or evaluating a candidate, Tara shows up ready, not just with answers, but with insight. She anticipates needs, understands pain points, and builds trust through thoughtful preparation.
Why Preparedness Matters
Preparedness isn’t about perfection, it’s about intention. It’s about doing the work ahead of time so that when the moment comes, you’re not just reacting—you’re leading.
Tara lives this out daily:
- She walks into meetings already knowing the client’s challenges.
- She comes with a plan, not just a pitch.
- She anticipates questions before they’re asked.
As she put it:
“It’s better to be overprepared than underprepared.”
A Role Model for Readiness
Tara’s approach doesn’t just make her effective, it makes her unforgettable. Her preparedness saves time, builds confidence, and sets a standard we can all aspire to.
So here’s to Tara, our unicorn of the month. Thank you for showing us what it means to be The Prepared.
