One thing that I’m struck by this time that we are living in in 2020, is the astonishing number of stories that will be written – ARE being written.
There are the big stories-of a #pandemic, of healthcare #heroes, of police brutality and anti-black racism of civil uprising, of life and death. Of businesses that find a way to pivot and those that got buried. These alone are enough to fill blogs, journals, #podcasts and magazines for years to come.
But then there are other seemingly smaller stories of virtual weddings, of communities that pulled together to help the vulnerable, and of babies being born in lockdown.
Funny thing is that some people act as if they’re a passive character, an observer in the story of their own life, career or as a leader of their own company. Maybe it’s bc we consume so much of this news on a screen we feel removed. Isolation makes it worse. Many are scrambling to stay afloat emotionally and financially.

The #story is being written either way.. what’s gonna be the story for your personal and business #brand?
