A conversation yesterday gave me a nice frame of reference for our current situation. We move from a crisis (stage 1), to recovery (2) and then a new reality (3).

Crisis has two parts – the twilight zone and then a new dawn. We are definitely in a new dawn phase now as things are changing in so many ways (mass communication, working from home, lockdown, etc) and the whole world is adapting to what we all face in the form of the pandemic.

What’s your new reality going to be? This is something I will be thinking about over the next few days and weeks. What’s the new dawn telling you about how you operate and how this change is affecting your life?

When we hit the recover phase it will be interesting to see what becomes the norm. I think we’ll all react like it’s the end of a war and we are all allowed to come out of hiding again! But working from home is definitely a step in the right direction for modern workforces (all of our team work from home).

But, for now, it’s back to the twilight zone…
