It’s Been One Year 📆
The world has changed drastically since this newsletter was launched exactly one year ago
Do you remember what your life was like one year ago this week? There was a sense of fear, panic, and anxiety in the world as the COVID pandemic spread across the globe. Almost overnight life as we knew it changed dramatically. How we work, communicate, interact, travel, shop, etc., shifted drastically.
As we all coped with these sudden changes, many people who had never worked remotely before were grappling with how to make working from home work for them. I launched this newsletter as a way to share my 10-year experience working remotely. For the first couple months, I was posting daily. The feedback I received was that the content and insights about adjusting to working from home was helpful to those struggling with the transition.
As the pandemic evolved and we adjusted to the changes of life in lockdown, the content and pace of this newsletter also shifted. While it still includes insights about remote work and building a virtual team, it now focuses primarily on the thing most critical to creating a thriving organization: being a conscious leader. The newsletter is now published on Tuesday and Friday mornings.
There is now light at the end of the pandemic tunnel. While it was a challenging experience that upended society, there are flowers blooming in the fault lines that cracked open. We’ve had serious conversations about what it means to work and what it means to lead. We’ve been able to take a step back from the hectic nature of life before and assess what institutions and systems no longer serve us.
Sometimes we need a monumental shift in order to advance us towards something better. I truly hope this was one of those moments in history. Let’s not go back to the way things were before. Let’s glean insights from the valuable lessons we’ve learned and implement new ways of being and doing that will better serve us all.
Thank you for joining me on this journey over the last year. I’m excited about what the future holds and how this newsletter and powerful coaching will continue to help us become more conscious leaders.
I’d love your feedback on this newsletter and its content! What content most helps you on your path to becoming a more conscious leader? What content would you like to see? Please respond to this email or comment on the post and share.
Work happy. Live happy. BE happy.
