Trash Your Agenda. Be An Ally. Focus On What Matters Now.
Trying to go about life at home or at work in the midst of a global pandemic and civic unrest is not only ridiculous; it is also insensitive.
Many of us are grappling with cognitive dissonance in our daily lives.
How do we do all the things we are supposed to do while balancing the weight of a global pandemic, civil unrest, and uncertainty about the future?
Am I unfocused? Or, am I trying to focus on the wrong things? This was the question I asked myself at work yesterday.
I was in a meeting when a news alert popped up with an update from Minneapolis. I paused the meeting to read aloud what was happening. We spent the rest of the meeting discussing what to do from a leadership standpoint to ensure we were supporting all of our team members who may be struggling.
We didn’t get to any of the items that were on the original agenda. They all seemed unimportant by comparison to connecting with our teams and making sure that our people were supported.
