All of us have encountered a tremendous change in our lives over the last couple of months —personally and professionally. For those of us working in the lending, homebuilding, and real estate industry, the impact was immediate.
A new bankruptcy law may be the assistance small businesses need to survive the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
I am once again writing how marketing is essential to a business’s success, and now more than ever is the time to explore these new opportunities and the “forced trends” that we find ourselves working around in the current business climate.
With the economy trying to overcome the effects of COVID-19 and the nation’s political unrest, business leaders face a challenge like never before as stores and offices reopen and try to lure back customers and clients.
Wake up, email, Zoom, Netflix, sleep and repeat, sound familiar? In our pre-pandemic lives, we experienced a variety of activities or change of scenery throughout our work week, but in the age of COVID-19, the same home “office,” the same computer screen, the same daily grind. Is it Monday? Wait, it’s Thursday? Does it matter? What is causing this perpetual state of boredom and how do we continue to function as professional when every day feels the same as the last?

I think of it now as the place where we huddled to share ideas, high-fived successes and came together for team celebrations. Now, in the wake of the coronavirus, will it ever be the same?
It is the paradox of resilience that the very things that make us strong also can prevent us from being nimble during a crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of how we have been doing business. If we look at businesses like nested Russian dolls, one system embedded inside another, we find clues to where change is needed if we are going to come back stronger from this crisis.
