Dance With Me
Many of us are simultaneously experiencing profound certainty and uncertainty. In our often black-and-white world, COVID19 has forced us to dance together in the gray.
Feeling like you have two left feet? As we dance this new tango of COVID19 life--with all its boldness and drama--here are two things I offer you to dance it with grace. Or, in the words of Will Smith in the movie Hitch, to "keep it in the box" at the very least...

What's important to me right now?
How am I living my values?

As we dance in the gray, I'm seeing a new move I'm calling the "The COVID19 Hustle." While I’m inspired watching individuals and organizations rise to the challenge of COVID19, I'm also concerned about burnout en masse.
Whether you're an entrepreneur or a corporate leader, a working parent or living alone, one thing is universal: stress levels are running high. Here are my six practical tips for taking care of yourself and preventing COVID19-related burnout, Effective Self Care in a COVID19 World.

Wishing you, your families, and your teams good health,
