Hi Friends!
I hope you are well and safe amidst this trying time in our world right now. We already work and advocate in an emotionally intense but rewarding line of work, but are now struggling to adjust to reduced hours and uncertainty in our own health and that of our families and clients.
Since I have been online for several years now, the shift from a physical setting hasn’t been horribly impactful (fingers crossed). Yes I had cancellations due to fears about money and changing work schedules too. So even if you are online, there is impact.
But, yes, we are all being impacted and I certainly forsee us recovering together and helping each other. If you wanna stop here and get to the free training info, Mark on your calendar for Thurs, 3/19/2020 at 2pm eastern to come to this free live event over here
“In these uncertain times, you have certainly felt the impact of COVID-19 in one form or another.From the news to the paper product aisle at the grocery store, we can’t turn around without seeing what is going on. There is caution. There is fear.While history has shown humans are resilient and the economy will bounce back, in the meantime, there may be some tough times and tough decisions to be made.Regardless of where you are in the world today, this event has impacted you.”So what can we do with that?I encourage optimism. To choose productivity over fear.While your work may look different now, there are still opportunities.
