My take (so far) of this crisis. What's yours?
I am sure you all have heard the the Chinese word crisis is made of two parts, the first is the problem, the second is the opportunity.
I have written down some of my takes on the current crisis and I wanted to share them with you all. Hopefully they will help you see the opportunity and not just the problem.
1- You are not alone in this. No need to panic or stress on things you cannot manage.
2- There is a lot of free stuff available ( ebooks, courses, trainings, resources, etc). Why was not all this available before?
3- You will discover which are the best companies to work for. The ones that will put at risk their profitability before their employees are.
4- There is an overflow of content (particularly webinars)
5- Everyone can be a blogger/vlogger
6- Many claimed their country can do stuff better and/or faster than others (really?). So much unnecessary patriotism and individuality, particularly during a time where we all need to stick together and not compete.
7- Everyone can add ''crisis management'' to their CV as new skill.
8- Make sure you have savings that allow you to survive for at least a year. This will not be the last crisis.
9- Be ready to reinvent yourself/your career.
10- Will the same solidarity continue after this crisis?
11- Will profit be the priority of companies again?
12- When you have a closed hotel, no matter how beautiful is, you suddenly realize that its people are the most important asset.
13- Make sure you stock bleach, hand sanitizer, gloves, masks and toilet paper. Always. They don't expire anyway.
14- The planet will thrive without us. Probably we should have these types of crisis to allow mother Earth to breath, to have less pollution, to have less consumerism.
15- Suddenly we have realized that we can very well live with very basic.
16- I prefer the phrase ''we are all in the same storm'' than ''we are all in the same boat''. Each one has a story to tell completely different from others.
Read between the lines, be grateful for what you have, take care of yourself and the planet.
God bless us all.
