Stay CALM for the Post-pandemic, Pre-recession Time

Welcome to postpandemic, pre-recession fun.

LET’S APPLY THE CALM FORMULA - CALM

C – IS CONNECT. Connect with self – are you purpose-driven and on point? Is what you are going about doing – lighting you up? Staff, - are they values-aligned, contributing in ways that are meaningful to them and supported by good wellness benefits? Are your members , clients or patients having their needs met and some of their wants. Are you finding ways to surprise and delight them? We have so much rope to run on customer service and exceeding expectations. Keep going. Keep trying things. You got this.

A is for ACT.? Perhaps you need to tighten the belt, do more with less, re-assign resources to meet the times. Spend to feed the right beasts. Save the coffers for a rainy day. Note to self – it’s a rainy day! Keep your game around brand, hope and help strong. This gives everyone purpose and reminds you of who you are at your core. Some of our most powerful actions are born from our darkest hours.

L is for LAUGH. Tough times are hard enough without the bad news fairies broadcasting doom and gloom 24/7. We know in speaking with survivors of wars, recessions, shipwrecks and other seemingly hopeless situations that hope, glass half full mentality and gamifying helps keep the embers of optimism glowing. And know that every downturn is flipped right way up at some point. So hang in there. Good times are coming.

M is for MOVE. Inertia kills the spirit. Find a ball in your business or personal life to keep passing. Stay motivated by realigning to the new goalposts as they pop up. Keep the wave of positivity going. Be the beacon of hope we need you to be. Be someone’s hero. Do good things. You got this!
