When a crisis occurs, the decisions leaders make early on are critical. To make the best decisions, you and your leadership team must: Stabilize, Pivot, Act, Connect, Engage

1. Stabilize

• Prior to focusing on the company, calm yourself.
• Take time to get grounded and ensure you are acting from a place of power, not being impulsive or reactive
• Do what you need to do to stabilize your employees and your company

2. Pivot

• Shift to meet the demands of the new environment
•  How do we change to adapt?

·    Right now, that’s shifting in person to online

• The landscape of an online business is very different, make sure you have knowledgeable advisors

  ·  You are doing more than changing your delivery method

·    In many ways, you have to stop thinking about what was, release the past and ask, "From this moment on, how do I reinvent my business"

·    You NOW have the opportunity to build something bigger

3. Act

• Act from a place of purpose

·    Why does your company exist?

• Act quickly and decisively
• You can’t be timid now or it could lead to your demise

4. Connect

• How are you connecting with your team?
• How can you best connect with your clients (current and potential)?

5. Engage

• What level of engagement would you like to have with your clients?
• How will you engage clients paths forward?
