Has it Really Been 19 Years?

1993 was 19 years ago. Like any year there were many events that are memorable.  Some even changed the course of the future.  Here is a short list in no particular order . . .

Israel and PLO Sign Peace Accord – PLO leader Yasir Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin shook hands in Washington D.C., September 13, 1993, after 45 years of fighting.

Czechoslovakia splits – The Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic were formed in the split.

Women in combat – For the first time, women were allowed in combat roles in the United States military.

World Trade Center explosion – Five people were killed and thousands trapped in the towers when terrorists tried to destroy the World Trade Center.

Warships To Haiti – U.S. President Bill Clinton sends 6 American warships to enforce United Nations trade sanctions against the military-led regime in Haiti.

Hubble fixed – the mirror flaw is fixed and clear pictures of space are received from the massive telescope.

Michael Jordon retires – Basketball great Michael Jordon retires from the NBA to play minor league baseball (he returns 17 months later).

The final episode of Cheers – after 11 seasons, 28 Emmys and 6 Golden Globes, Ted Danson/Sam Malone, ended the show by saying “We’re closed.”

Prince changes his name – The singer Prince, changes his name to his signature symbol to avoid an unknown legal problem.

Jurassic Park is released – with an estimated budget of $63,000,000, the film eventually grosses over $914,000,000.  It wins 3 Academy Awards and causes nightmares for a generation of children.

The company now known as The Kevin Eikenberry Group is founded – September 30, 1993, Kevin Eikenberry ended his successful career for the Chevron Corporation and started helping individuals, teams and organizations reach their goals through learning.  Over the years, the work has become more and more focused on the roles, challenges and skills of effective leaders.

All of these things seem like a long time ago to me, except the last one.

This was my hopefully fun and informative way of announcing our 19th anniversary.  So while we are celebrating here at The Kevin Eikenberry Group, we want to let you celebrate too.  Here’s how:
