#InThisTogether Series
We are #InThisTogether
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused us to feel more isolated, vulnerable and mortal than ever. But, it is also a pause and time for reflection which can inspire greater resiliency. Over the past 25 years as a professional and educator – I am truly grateful for this global network of diplomats, creatives, marketers, risk takers and leaders in their field. Let us continue to share, collaborate and learn from each other even while socially distant.
Happy to help facilitate the discussions through an #InThisTogether series which I started moderating on Facebook live last week.
We have heard from small business founders and global executives, musicians and producers, a psychologist, healer and yoga therapist. Thank you Juan Lizarazo, Heather Allen and Cartier Cutsinger; Rosario and David Bradbury; EMAYLA, Marco Gottini and Max Zaga; Rynda Laurel; Christophe Leroy and Jose Cervantes; and Lisa G for your enlightening insights.
The series continues with themes of mindfulness and transformation, non-profits and corporate philanthropy, the outlook for the travel sector and the LGBT community’s impact on the economy. Feel free to tune in or reach out if you would like to share your valuable perspectives during this uncertain era. We are connected and #InThisTogether
