THE COVID19 LENS5/10/2021 Lately in a coaching conversation, I learned that applying a COVID19 lens as an intentional approach to planning, decision-making, and resources allocation is not only safe but strategic.
Given that majority of the world is still battling the third wave, dangerous variants have weakened and collapsed many health care systems in the developing countries, and developed countries have yet to pick up the pieces of their lives and economies- COVID19 will not go away just as it came. The COVID19 lens should be used beyond the pandemic and the virus transmission. It's about reconstruction, restoration, and healing of societies and economies. It's also about getting back to the root causes that alienate us from our environment, community, and self-sustainability. I heard that those people who recover from COVID19 had after-effects felt for months and years. These are facts we are grappling today: How can the whole society recover from mental health issues, depression, and isolation? How can we recover from deaths of family, friends, neighbors, officemates due to COVID19? How can we recover from suicides of people close to us who died because of COVID19 isolation? How can we recover our businesses from taking a nose dive due to lockdowns and travel/mobility restrictions? How can we recover from deaths that are not COVID19 because the health care systems refuse to treat emergency surgeries? These are not irrecoverable or irreparable but they do leave lasting impacts that will take years to completely undo. On a positive note, this virus will never be back again. On a more realistic note, we will have to face more diseases, deadlier than this one unless we get better at monitoring, testing, rules and policy enforcements, and cooperation. How are you operating your organization through the COVID19 lens and beyond? Are you ready for the slow but sure emergence in the horizon?

PERSEVERANCE5/5/2021 Perseverance, called Percy, the car-sized rover landed on Mars last February 18, 2021 collecting samples of rocks.
What great timing in terms of being proud as humans even in the gloomiest situation we found ourselves in! We all need more perseverance these days with the most restrictive lockdowns ever to come down in Alberta. What areas in your life, whether personal or professional would use more Percy? What areas in your team environment would use more Percy? Are you fed up with dealing with nasty, angry, very difficult public and customers? Hang in there!
