"Finally Friday" - 3/20/20

I know this week was tough. My thoughts are with any COVID-19 patients, people who live in high risk areas, or people who have a higher risk of contraction. We all have friends, family, and clients that are in this group.

This week I had the opportunity to reflect on other global events that occurred during my twenty year career at FPG. The thought that keeps coming up about previous like 9/11, SARs, the financial crisis of 2008-2009, and now this situation is this:

I don’t remember the exact details of where I was or how the event directly impacted me professionally or financially, what I remember is how my team members, managers and clients made me feel during the tough times.

After working with our clients regarding the well being of their team, FPG’s team, and their business it makes me appreciate the great relationship we have with them.

How we make people feel during tough times is what really matters. In the coming week try to spend a few extra minutes to listen to their concerns, provide resources for them to be safe, send an extra email or text to check in on them, recognize someone for providing you a new perspective, or simply thank someone. Let’s do our best to embrace kindness and calm instead of panic.

Trust me when the chaos stops, and it will stop, people will remember how you made them feel. Have a great weekend! Be well everyone.
