With a few days left before Christmas, and as we all prepare for the holidays and anticipate spending more time with our families and those who matter to us, it's also worth reflecting what COVID-19 has taught us.
What is the biggest lesson you’ve learned from the COVID-19 crisis?
We asked this question to the Top 100 Filipinos on LinkedIn. While doing this roundup, it also made me reflect on what's truly important, what my non-negotiables are and where I want to go next from where I am now.
I'd like to invite you to read through their answers below and take a moment of silence to do your own reflection. Here’s what they shared with us:
1. That we are first and foremost social creatures. We can only thrive in the company of others, and through others.?
2. We finally realized the importance of mental health, and how it is as important as our physical health. As many folks experienced issues with their mental health during this pandemic, I realized that we need to be more vocal and sensitive to concerns raised by our friends, colleagues, and loved ones.
This global and novel virus has kept everyone contained in our houses and has already reoriented our relationship with the world and with each other. As I ponder all the things that are happening right now, there are three major lessons that this pandemic has taught me.?
Value of Life - We were all given one life and how we spend it depends on us. I have realized that life is not just about accumulating material things and achievements. It is more than just being successful. Life is something to be spent with loved ones and leaving a legacy of humility and love.?
Value of Savings - This pandemic crisis hits us unannounced. You want to have access to emergency funds. A savings account is a great way to create a safety net during unexpected circumstances.?
Value of Simplicity - The world is filled with unnecessary complexity. We can all survive by sticking to the basics. The less you have, the more time you have to focus on the important things in life.
Nothing in this world is permanent. We are just passing by. In the little time we have, let's be grateful for the people around us, be appreciative of the beauty that surrounds us, and be faithful to the God above us.
The COVID-19 pandemic is leaving millions of people sick, unemployed, and struggling to make ends meet. There are many things you can do to help make a difference in your community.
I used LinkedIn to help people find jobs, provide tips and career advice and spread positivity especially during these hard times. Like an online 'bayanihan" - lifting one another and providing support.
There is nothing more important in life than faith, family and relationships.
COVID-19 has taught me that life is so precious, so precious that we should never take each day for granted. COVID-19 taught us that everything can change overnight, and that everything in this world can be shaken, and only those that are "deeply-rooted" in GOD can withstand the shaking.?
It taught me about the brevity of life, and so I have learned to value and appreciate each day more, thanking GOD every day for all the blessings I have [whether small or big] because we are never promised tomorrow.?
It has taught me to appreciate the people I have in my life (my family, friends, and co-workers) because not all the people we have today will still be with us tomorrow.
We must understand and nurture our Brain and Mental Health. Prior to Covid, the need for "Physical Exercise" has already been widely-recognized. But there was not much attention given to the need to nurture our Minds and Mental Health.?
But the World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had declared that "the Covid-19 pandemic has caused more “mass trauma” than World War II Failure, or refusal, to know more about how the Human Mind is programmed and how it functions would definitely yield detrimental results.?
Our brain determines who we are, how we act, and how we think. Yet most Individuals know more about how their phones work than how their brains work. And with the information about neuroscience so readily available, there is no excuse to allow the quality of our lives to deteriorate due to inaction.?
As we enter 2022, and with the economic forecasts for the Philippines not being that rosy, it is truly incumbent upon all individuals, professionals, leaders, and business owners, to take advantage of the solutions that neuroscience offers.
History has clearly and consistently demonstrated that what we had "practiced" before simply did not work during Covid. And the Behavioral Challenges that Covid created would take a long time to repair and undo. We do have to mind our "Minds".
I believe the greatest lesson that COVID-19 has taught us is that we need to:
(1) thrive in challenging times;
(2) pivot and explore other opportunities;
(3) utilize your network and learn from other people to better yourself;
(4) Awareness that being prepared is key to success;
(5) That you have the power to help anyone - a single person or a community by using your talent, skills and sharing experience to add value no matter how big or small your contribution may be.
Mental Health is health and we shouldn't ignore it; we have to take care of it as much as we take care of our physical body.
COVID 19 showed me the true value of “service” for our client and for myself. Our company conducts Career Transition and Outplacement Programs for those who have lost their jobs. In the process, we help a client to heal, feel better, find herself/himself again, know what to do and make progress in her/his search for a new career.?
I learned that by providing support, it is helpful not only to our client but for me as well.
I learned to think about others rather than only about myself, I felt useful. My needs and worries are temporarily put to one side because there is work to be done.
I believe my service to them brings me face-to-face with my ability to influence the lives of others. It makes others realize that there’s a lot of unpredictable turns of events and we can only strengthen our faith that something good will happen out of a difficult situation.?
Eventually they emerge stronger. As for me, I also transition and emerge stronger. COVID-19 has led me to finding my “Ikigai” or my purpose in life and it all started by providing service to those who were impacted by the pandemic
That surviving is straight up the new thriving. You can worry about everything else later, what matters most is that you and your loved ones are healthy and alive.
Life is short. We should learn how to cherish every moment that we have. Give love and appreciation to everyone.
The last two years have been a wonderful opportunity for all of us to reflect on what is important to all of us and what needs to be done moving forward. With this, there are new emerging non-negotiables that we want to embrace for our organization that truly reflect our purpose and the impact that we want to create to the communities we serve.?
Some examples of these ‘non-negotiables’ included our focus on the health and safety of our associates as well as progressing in diversity, equity and inclusion. We also realize that the world calls for a new type of leadership – one that is more of a learn-it-all, rather than know-it-all. We need leaders who are humble and who strive to be a better human being every day, everywhere.
The biggest lesson that Covid-19 has taught me is that we are all connected.
COVID 19 strengthened my value and belief about generosity. Generosity is our ability to offer the best of who we are and what we have for the benefit of one another.?
This value is one of the main reasons why I (1) founded Konsult NZ to provide exceptional consulting services to businesses and start-ups worldwide; (2) created the “Optimize Life Series” project to help students/professionals have their optimal life. We strive and rebuild together. We Filipinos are resilient and through bayanihan, we will make our ancestors proud!
The biggest lesson I learned from COVID 19 is the value of life. We have been wasting our lives on pursuing things that we will leave behind when we die, rather than loving and living our lives that will leave legacies and make us immortal.?
By being happy because we choose to, loving more intensely and encompassing all, even those who are not so easy to love, because they are the ones who need it more; forgiving, giving, believing, being kind, doing things right… that’s how I value life now that I realize how fleeting it could be.
There are a lot of best practices and good habits that we were able to find time doing during the lockdown period. May we continue to have time for them as we resume spending more outside of our home.
Times may be tough but we are tougher and we can conquer anything we set our minds to.
COVID-19 has made me realize the significance of agility and love for lifelong learning. We can never rest on our laurels as changes happen either gradually or abruptly. If we want to continually thrive in our profession, we ought to learn (or re-learn) the new skills required to adapt to the changes during these trying times.
Resilience and creativity. With women rising and getting noticed recently, we have proven our great contributions to the situation that our country is facing. Women stepping up has provided new approaches and perspectives, may it be in business, politics, media, or simply in daily life.?
Our country's resilience to different unwanted events, women were trusted in keeping things together may it be in work or within their family, and I believe, we've been doing a good job.?
The pandemic, on the brighter side, has unleashed resilience and creativity not just in women, but with people in general. It provided us with awareness and a realization about the boundaries, limitations, and alternatives of life preservation. In the bigger picture, this situation has turned our normal way of life upside down.
Connecting to each other on a deeper, meaningful level, putting more importance on relationships and being human. We are stronger than ever and we all can go through any crises as long as we're one, singing the same tune of resilience and hope.
In business, digitization is key. In life, be fearless in bouncing back – each morning, you have the opportunity to be at least 1% better than your yesterday’s version. Slowing down during the pandemic has helped me speed up personally and in business.
Adjust according to your situation (i.e., have a business decision tree during pandemic).
The outbreak has been a nasty, unpleasant, and distressing experience. But it has humbled me and opened my eyes to new possibilities.
The pandemic has taught me the importance of resilience. I’ve been through so much in the last 19 months - I lost my dad, my husband had an emergency medical procedure, I tested positive for Covid, I dealt with some changes at work which includes saying goodbye to direct reports and colleagues I dearly love.?
Had I not been resilient, I would have easily resorted to unhealthy coping mechanisms. But instead of losing hope, I faced all those challenges head-on by reframing my thoughts, focusing on things I can control and seeking support from loved ones.?
For me, being resilient is the key to be able to bounce back from all of life’s setbacks brought by this current crisis.
The pandemic has taught me that there is much more to life than work.
Before it happened, I was so engrossed in furthering my career and expanding my side hustles. Having gone through my share of lockdowns and WFH, it gave me time to reflect about what really matters in life.?
I have learned to cherish my wife and family who, so far by the grace of God, have not succumbed to the coronavirus. This overflowed to my day job as I see my direct reports and workers in a more empathetic light. They, too, have their own battles with the pandemic.
The biggest lesson COVID-19 has taught me in the last year and a half is to put more trust in people by treating them like adults. Many leaders still practice top-down management styles where employees are constantly monitored and molded to work in ways that might not be the most productive or efficient.?
I started allowing employees to manage their own time and empower them to make their own decisions on how to meet business goals by hiring self-driven, smart, and dedicated adults, and so of course, treating them as adults.
You have to think fast, move fast. Pause if you need to, but not for too long. Don’t let any crisis stop you or break you. While most will just be on waiting mode, you have to: (1) Think fast -- "what else can you do?"; (2) Move fast -- do it. Now. The faster you move, the faster you learn, the faster you grow.
One of the biggest lessons I have learned in Covid, is to diversify my skillset as an individual and to really pursue a suite of inter-related skills. When Covid19 happened, our entire business was put on freeze, I had to as a leader, adapt to an entirely different focus within our industry's supply chain and pivot our business drastically.?
This way, we were able to sustain our operations and our entire workforce didn't suffer from the pivot, instead our business grew exponentially.
Adapt or Die. Transform or be left behind.
Life goes on and it's still beautiful regardless of the crisis we face. We may change our ways of doing things but our mission, vision and values remain unchanged.
Family, wellness and employment are the 3 most important things in life.
To be resilient and adaptive to the new normal.
Uncertainty can be met with pure compassion towards the self, my team and the world. Practicing our values made our team stronger during the pandemic.
For me, the biggest lesson that COVID-19 has taught me in the last 19 months is OUR LIFE IS TOO FRAGILE, ALWAYS STRIVE TO BE KIND. Not only to the people around us but most importantly to ourselves.?
The situation that we are in right now has been very challenging from the beginning. There’s been too much chaos and noise everywhere; in every aspect of our lives - self, family, politics, mental health, and more.?
We really need to find ways to be more FORGIVING and CARING; be MORE HELPFUL and COMPASSIONATE. We don’t need to walk in the shoes of other people; nor experience what they have experienced for us to be kind. And also, it’s FREE — so give it to yourself; share it to others.
Life is about balance, and well-rounded individuals thrive. We have always defined success not only as helping to attain excellence of people. But also ensuring the development into well-rounded individuals, who understand the importance of leading a balanced life and who have the tools to deal with life’s many challenges.?
Among other things, the pandemic has required us all to draw on skills and attributes that are associated with the notion of being well-rounded. Such as adaptability, resilience, positivity, tenacity empathy and good energy in our life. There’s no doubt that challenges brought about by the pandemic have affected many people’s mental well-being, and another thing which we already knew, and the pandemic has certainly confirmed, is that it’s just as important to monitor and nurture our mental health as it is our physical health. Be positive in life.
COVID-19 has taught me the value of being 'LINKED' in social media.?
In the midst of all the uncertainties, it gives a certain level of comfort to see that people across the globe are still connected; that we learn from one another and that our professional lives are not just confined within the corners of our offices.?
This pandemic has even brought us to yearn to attend more virtual conferences, talks and learning sessions. It even brought us to find time to upskill and develop ourselves. The COVID-19 has given me that eagerness for knowledge. It has allowed me to GROW and has strived to become a better version of myself.
Covid-19 has taught me everything; You only have one life so take care of your health, it's your wealth, It's important to save money, manage your lifestyle, have quality time for your family. Be patient all the time, Good things don't come easy and most of all give time to serve GOD.
For me the biggest lesson this pandemic is the importance of HEALTH. It is something that we have neglected for the past years because of the pursuit for greener pasture. All the more I realized that wealth without good health is useless. We need to pursue having good health alongside building our wealth.
Together we can reach and inspire more!
The biggest lesson is health is wealth. Never take it for granted.
Self care and care for others. I experienced death in my family this year due to Covid and I learned that not just taking care of others but taking care of myself is important too.?
I helped others in pursuing their goals and dreams and seeing beyond the pandemic, which I too had to advise myself. I am now continuing to upskill myself and I have learned to "be still" and be present at the moment.?
Life is indeed short and the present is a gift that I need or we all need to treasure. And prayers, gratitude journaling and meditation truly help.
Being able to give more time of myself and family and TIME is gold so treasure every moment with your loved ones.
The biggest lesson COVID-19 has taught me in the last 19 months is to be adaptable. In unprecedented times like this, we need to be flexible to the “new normal” and understand that we are all trying to make sense of what will be the end state after this pandemic and we are all trying to do what is best for our families and companies to ensure we survive.?
As a leader of my company, it is vital to maintain a positive attitude, provide inspiration to my team and lay the foundation for the rebound and the rebuild processes so we will be able to take advantage of the recovery.
I've always been an advocate for technology and remote work, especially for women. This was important before COVID-19. Now that the global pandemic has accelerated digital adoption, the digital divide is growing faster than ever and it's even more essential that we close that gap.?
Inclusive innovation and digital inclusion is something we all need to work towards to make sure that no one is left behind.
To appreciate the simple things in life.
The biggest lesson that COVID-19 has taught me is that how quickly things we receive can be lost and taken away. Knowing that there are so many things in our lifetime that we cannot control, one of the best things we can do is to be grateful for the things we are blessed with and be quick to accept things that don't go our way.?
Resilience, courage, and compassion to others.
Covid taught us to be more adaptable and be more people-centric.
Life is indeed short and business is indeed seasonal and cyclical.
This pandemic taught me a lot of things, but to share one I think it should be the importance of being kind to yourself and people around you. I realized that we can do this in so many ways and it's important to be kind so we can still enjoy life despite the challenges.
The need to define the 'Why' of your business and to 're-think' your pain points/business models to address the realities of the New Normal
That an individual can continue to pursue professional goals; contribute to the learning and development of others; and be an inspiration to those who have been negatively impacted by the pandemic both on personal and professional levels
GOD, being Healthy is the new Wealthy
Befriending technology is crucial as there's no going back to the past "normal".
It paved the avenues for me to adapt and evolve and innovate into what I want to become.
Life is too short to waste.
We need to be more grateful for what we have, spend more time to relax and recharge, and be more kind to ourselves and to others.
This pandemic has taught me what is truly important in life -- how short and fleeting our life is, the importance of family and friends, as well as the importance of health.?
It made me aware that we spend too much time in pursuit of material wealth and success. But in the process, we neglect the people around us and also neglect to look after ourselves.?
It taught me how to be more flexible and compassionate towards the people and the situation around me. Flexible because as we all know, change is the only constant in this world. How much more when a pandemic happened and almost all of us have been caught off guard.?
There are things that I needed to adjust and pivot for the last months just so I can survive and still thrive despite the crisis. Compassionate because this is the most important virtue that each one should have.?
Not thinking of myself alone but thinking of a bigger picture. Every person near or far from me, good or bad to me, every single one of them deserves to be treated nicely because we never know how big or heavy each person is undergoing especially during the pandemic. They have their own battle to fight so the least that I could do is to be kind and help in whatever way I can.
It taught me that RESILIENCE is the key to RESURGENCE.
The biggest lesson that COVID-19 taught me is grit and resilience, courage and perseverance.?
Life is a marathon, not a sprint. I lost relatives and friends to COVID-19, our business suffered losses, and there are still challenges and uncertainties. I had to pause and reflect, focus on the positives, and trust that this too shall pass.
Change is not entirely bad. Change can bring you from the old to the new: from depressed to determined, from sidelined to significant, from barely surviving to thriving.?
You just need to remember that you were made for a purpose, and having compassion for others while surveying the resources and opportunities you have in your hands, embrace the new trails you might be called to blaze.
That everything is possible and can be done digitally and remotely as long as you surround yourself with like-minded people, and allow yourself to belong to the right community who supports you, who loves you, and who pushes you to do far more greater things.
Being comfortable in the discomfort and adapting to the constant unpredictability. Finally, the value of family -- how having your closest and dearest around you makes all the chaos more bearable.
Offices, infrastructures, policies and programs aren't as relevant as the people that drive and propel your business through the uncertain future.
The pandemic had reshaped our lives and it made us realize the importance of life and what truly matters in it. One of the most important life lessons I learned during this pandemic is "Being Resilient".?
Why is resilience important in Covid? Resilience enables us as individuals, families, communities, as nations and as a country, to cope better with the stress of the coronavirus pandemic.?
Resilience is important because it gives people the strength needed to process and overcome hardship. Those lacking resilience get easily overwhelmed and may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Resilient people tap into their strengths and support systems to overcome challenges and work through problems.?
I also learn to appreciate all the small things that are happening around me; working from home and spending more time with my family make me realize “happiness lies in the little things” like sharing the same room as their family and bonding over games.?
These are the little things that we overlooked a year ago and now look forward to every single day. It’s time we appreciate them and be grateful for what we have. Being grateful and counting your blessings can help you calm your thoughts.
Also, this pandemic helps me realize that Mental Wellbeing is very important above all else. For almost two years now, we are being isolated, sad news of deaths and social media becoming like looking at obituary section of the newspaper.?
Lastly, being connected with friends and colleagues may it be personal or professional discussion thru online or via phone call to help them on their journeys in life during this pandemic and helping them build their personal resilience and struggles.
There is a light at the end of every tunnel. Some tunnels just happen to be longer than others.
1. Life is short.
2. Jobs are temporary.
3. Being creative and even entrepreneurial helps.
4.There is goodness and humanity, even in the darkness.
The biggest lesson COVID-19 has taught me is that the world is a smaller place. I connected to more people who are doing great and impactful things to have a better world.
It made me more conscious of what I need to do (i.e. studying, learning, asking the right questions, engaging, etc.) to become better and do equally great things.
Survive and thrive amidst the challenges to continue serving the customers with excellence and empathy.
Patience. It is a difficult disease to treat and so we have to be very patient with it.
The lack of precedents for a situation like a Covid is also an opportunity for invention.
More than ever, the pandemic has taught me how important and powerful relationships are, whether it be with loved ones, relatives, colleagues or friends. I see this as the most important aspect in everyone's lives, especially when it comes to keeping a positive mental health and well-being.
That we can still find silver linings in the midst of the pandemic. There's always hope or something good to be found in every bad situation.
Do the right things and God will provide.
The biggest lesson that COVID-19 has taught me, being a strong person for my family and friends. Resilience is the number one word that comes to mind since the start and up to now.?
Because of the pandemic I learned the value of work life balance, being able to be with our loved ones despite our busy work schedule.?
Being there with your colleagues, employees (being in HR) always listening with their thoughts and issues despite distance, we can guide and serve virtually. Presence virtually to be able to support everyone not just in my present company but being able to spread help and guiding other people in their career decisions (just be there to listen and connect/guide).
To learn how to adapt to the VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) environment that we are facing and experiencing right now.
I learned to have a crystal clear view about my purpose, from redefining the meaning of true success which is not all about money, to normalizing talking about mental health to leveraging my strengths and using my flaws to my advantage.
Diskarte. Kung gusto, may paraan, kung ayaw, may dahilan. The world now is full of opportunities. If you got laid off from your employment, then you can go out on your own to make a living and a life.
Life is fragile. Don't be so lost in your work that you forget the most essential things in life -- your health, your loved ones, and your personal mission.
It taught me to navigate change by learning and unlearning. I learned to go with the changes. During challenging times, I learned to be kinder to myself by giving myself space to feel and think we don't have to be doing things all the time. There is value in being still and reflective.
Made us resilient and provided us with the opportunity to innovate things. Digital space for sure was abruptly adopted by many. Health is wealth was the mantra and spotlight of our lives.
Agility. This is in fact one of our organization’s core values. The “A” in HAWOD stands for Agility. As the CEO of the company, I always put emphasis on agility to all employees whenever I have the chance.?
The only way for us to survive in any uncertain event such as the pandemic is to adapt to changes. We need to develop innovative thinking and always be courageous to try out new ideas. We need to be quick in adapting to change, quick to learn from our mistakes and move forward!
COVID-19 has taught me to be even more intentional and to focus on things that matter.
COVID-19 has taught me resilience and the awareness of what matters most in my life.
Life is Short ... Do Stuff that Matters!
Resiliency and importance of health and family
Current Supply Chain infrastructure are not built to address wild swings in supply and demand.
The biggest lesson I learned from COVID-19 is FLEXIBILITY. To be able to adapt to the changing times and make things better despite the pandemic. It taught me to be brave in unchartered waters and keep myself fighting.
I would say as a psychologist and HR leader, I have encountered the most challenging year in 2020 and the mental health of 7 out of 10 people had been deeply impacted with varied reasons and degrees.?
The biggest lesson that Covid-19 in the last several months is the Importance of self-care and mental well-being. The past months, we have gone through isolation, uncertainty, grief and sorrow over losing our loved ones and friends, the anguish of unemployment and business instability has continued to wreak havoc aside from the fear or surviving Covid itself.
For those employees who were able to keep their jobs, the work from home situation became a source of stress for most, leading to the status of increased resignations across the globe and industries.
I would like to share some important tips to practice Self-care and Mental Well-being:
1. It’s ok not to feel ok.?
2. Think inward through the practice of meditation and breathing methods.?
3. Using cognitive reframing techniques in looking at situations differently.
4. Nurturing family ties, human relationships, and connections.
5. Being kind to everyone we meet as we are all going through something.
6. It is ok to ASK FOR HELP.
Overall, our priority should be ourselves. This is not selfishness but it is an imperative act during these unprecedented times.
To be resilient amidst the restrictions.
Covid-19 has taught me to be more agile and responsive to changing landscape.
One has to constantly be learning and developing new skills to successfully adapt to a rapid changing environment.
Change is inevitable so pivoting during the pandemic will make or break your business and career. And while it’s okay to grieve on our losses and the emotional challenges we face, we will also need to pivot early.?
To adapt to the changes and lead through the crisis. Focusing on what we can control such as our emotions and actions will help us get through this pandemic together.
Covid-19 has taught me that there will be crises that no contingency plan can anticipate, and in order to adapt and surpass the obstacles, I must learn how to hold on to my purpose, not only as a businesswoman, but most of all, as a leader of many.?
Throughout this pandemic, I have committed myself to crucial business decisions that helped me see the values I am built on: the passion to create and the desire to help others. With these two life-values, I am able to walk through this global setback with humility and eagerness to succeed.
Respectfully, I learned to "Pause with grace". Leaders are meant to be the ‘light’ and not candles that burn out. And so it is but natural to take moments of graceful pauses- to breathe, to focus on self-care, and to not feel guilty about it.
That a solid back-up plan is crucial to success, but an ability to pivot is crucial to survival.
Nothing is permanent. We must become agile in our careers, and ultimately, our own lives so that we can continue to be aware, curious and see what opportunities are ahead.
