Dear Colleague, How are you? Today I start every meeting and conversation with that question and my genuine concern to know the answer. As we continue to live through unprecedented times and experience the evolution of a new normal, we may struggle in different ways and at different times. I have found allowing for a connection helps all of us as we deal with the uncertainties of this reality. It has been an unexpected 2020 full of firsts. We are living through a period of history that we will be talking about for years to come. Yet, in spite of the challenges faced, it has been inspiring in surprising ways. There have been opportunities because of these challenges and I remain optimistic with the potential ahead of us. Our ability to pivot, experiment and grow as professionals and organizations is opening different doors. I am hearing many stories of new norms, new practices and new ways of working that are creating new possibilities. I'm inspired by the resilience illustrated in these stories. Building our resilience helps us to endure as well as to be there for others who need our support. I welcome the chance to schedule a time to connect and/or please send me a note to let me know "how you are". One of the pleasures of working virtually is having the ease of meeting frequently. I look forward to hearing from you! Please stay well and safe! Best
Regards,
|
