Transitioning back to “A” normal – Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water

Welcome Back! Now that we are headed back to “A” life of normal, what have we learned from this moment of pause? The Pandemic offered us great opportunities in self-discovery. We increased our awareness of how delicate our personal health is and the health of those around us. We came to understand how connected we are globally (I had the best birthday ever which included all of my global friends) and how valuable that connection is.  We became aware of cultural differences which brought about a more whole and inclusive workplace, community, and personal life. Throughout this we saw how virtual platforms allowed people to create a global presence.  We embraced an understanding of the lives we’ve lost and how they became the foundation in creating inspiration for life. Yes, there is an excitement to return to old times, but let’s think reset when carrying all we have gathered in silence. Let’s move forward with the newness of expression and freshness of vision…Here’s to A “new normal”.
