My goal is to be here for you, to support and help navigate through the days/weeks ahead in these unprecedented times of change and uncertainty.
We are living in a very difficult and uncharted period. Setbacks do happen all the time; however, this one is very unusual and unfortunately global, the likes of which hasn’t been seen. There are opportunities to be had as we pivot in the small business environment so it’s time to get proactive and see what we can do right now and also see how we can create opportunity.
With change and uncertainty comes additional stress and worry, these are understandable and legitimate Let’s see how we can be proactive and stand up rather than hibernate. If we can face the challenges and work together perhaps, we can minimize stress, manage crisis and make opportunities as much as possible.
With so much information being bombarded on us and in many different places, I have compiled a small but important list of resources for easy access. The situation is fluid and ever changing.
