From Good to Great Post Covid-19

  Some ideas and concepts for our forward-thinking approach to the Post-Covid-19 world are not decades old, they are centuries old. Time tested and proven methodologies are effective when repurposed, up-cycled, rethought to apply to problems that did not exist when they were created. An equation required to project the precise area the first Mercury capsule would land was a centuries-old formula developed by Leonhard Euler known as Euler's Method. Leonhard Euler was a prolific Swiss mathematician who lived 1707-1783. 

Katherine G. Johnson rethought Euler’s formula and applied it to a problem that did not exist when it was created to create a cutting-edge solution for Astronaut John Glenn and N.A.S.A. As Kathrine worked toward her solution, she was focused on creative problem-solving. Kathrine proved new thinking and old methods can create more than new solutions. John Glenn orbited the Earth on February 20, 1962, 179 years after Euler’s death. Her new thinking and old methods wrote history. If you master the tools provided and apply them with your new thinking you will prosper in the post-Covid-19 world. Along the way, I hope you write history.  

In 2019 the Earth was not visited by aliens in a flying saucer. The Earth was visited by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, SARS-CoV-2, Covid-19, and the Earth stood still, not for 30 minutes, but for months. Social Distancing, Shelter in Place, Containment, Mitigation, and Pandemic became part of our everyday conversations and we all watched in shock and horror as tens of thousands died.

Think about this for a moment. The human cost is not the number of souls lost during the pandemic. Those losses are in the past. As we move forward, it is the emotional toll that poverty and economic hardship create over time, and that clock, that calendar is just now starting. It will last longer than the economic recovery. The damage to the hearts and souls of every living being is immeasurable. 

The trend toward working from home or working remotely accelerated to light speed and we all worked from home overnight. Leaders, not managers, real leaders have always been a scarce and unbelievably valuable asset in the world of business. You know a real leader when they walk into a room. They command your attention not by title but by their presence, their persona. How does one lead when a significant portion of the workforce becomes remote and they no longer experience the face-to-face presence of the organization’s leaders?

    It is my MISSION with Post Covid-19 Communication & Leadership to provide you with the tools and skills to use the tools to successfully communicate, lead and prosper in the post-Covid-19 world and maybe, just maybe write, yourself into the history books.
