well-prepared

America’s military is, in short, well-prepared to fight a major conventional war against an obliging enemy like Iraq in 1991, but such a scenario is unlikely to lie in our future.

And under Davies and his staff, they will always be well-prepared.

“I don’t know that every single mom out there is optimally well-prepared to parent any more than a dad is. It’s a little bit of a sink or swim, maybe for all of us, to some degree.”

“Be aware of the stereotypes that are still out there, and come well-prepared for pitches, salary negotiations and the like. It is good to know and demonstrate one’s worth through an outside offer, past accomplishments or brilliant ideas — and stay focused on what you bring to the table.”

If the atmosphere is anything like watching a Dodgers game at home, he’ll be well-prepared for the challenges ahead.
