The last few weeks have been tough on everyone. Covid 19 has spread uncertainty into virtually every aspect of our lives and forced many businesses to rapidly adapt to new technologies and working environments. It is understandable if you are tired but the truth is  no one really cares. You are the leader. It is your responsibility to do the work; to lead.

But how do we take those next steps, put the right plans into action and remain consistent when exhaustion sets it in. This is the topic of today's podcast.

In Australia, we are now entering week 3 of social distancing and self-isolation due to COVID 19.

Opportunity can be found anywhere...as long as you are looking for it.

COVID-19, social distancing and self-isolation have meant that a lot of us are having to face some hard truths about ourselves. For many the excuse of not having enough time to work on the business or to learn that new skill has evaporated.

We have been shown in recent weeks just how fragile our world can be, why are some still hesitant to go all in, to take that chance, to find the opportunity in this brave new world. For some, this moment in history will be the reason to stop for others it will provide the launchpad for what is to come. Which choice will you make?

The COVID-19 Pandemic has forced change and innovation on us all. What we were unable or unwilling to do 3 weeks ago is now part of our everyday lives.

Are you one of the many that are looking at this period of business innovation as a time to "get through' and waiting for the work to go back the way it was? 

The reality is, we don't know what the world looks like on the other side of this but if you are looking at the current innovations as a short term fix you may be in for a shock in the new business landscape.

Change is inevitable. Whether from internal or external forces.
