2020 isn’t shaping up to be the year we thought it would. And surely we couldn’t have predicted that a pandemic and the ongoing issues of racial justice would be the top issues leaders would face in the workplace. 

​

Organizations came out of the gate during the pandemic in a sprint. You probably did too. Holding Zoom meetings. Rearranging travel. Adjusting calendars and protocol and systems for this “new normal.” 

​

Now, you’re tired. Fatigued. Stressed. And you want to move on. What’s worse, your employees are feeling this too.
