What You Can Do Right Now

1. Find the stories that remind you and your stakeholders why you need to survive. Share them. Repeat them in your mind. 2. Meet with your team. Tell them what’s keeping you up at night. Ask them for their help. Remind each person how their job matters. 3. Ask your team: In what 3 ways will moving through this crisis/change well help us better deliver our purpose? What will we feel, what will we become, what will we be able to do?
