The coronavirus pandemic is definitely speeding up the future of work.
What I have found in my discussions with clients and colleagues is that most people are ‘waiting it out’. This means they are not panicking due to the reality that everyone is affected by the massive disruption.
When I have anecdotally asked what people are spending time on – I have had business owners say that they are working to keep their employee’s taken care of. I have had workers say that they are using the time to learn more about aspects of their work such as increased digital literacy.
Other people have said they are pacing themselves and being very gentle by taking time to just focus on themselves, play with their kids or make healthy food.
Last week I posted a video about optimism being about ‘trust’. In the video I talk about how trusting ourselves means we trust the future.
I hope you take the time to add your input to the above survey and that you are doing well throughout these unprecedented times.
