With so much happening in the world and global economy around coronavirus,
we’re all dealing with massive amounts of uncertainty, pivots at work, and
for many—fear and anxiety that comes with not only the health concerns, but
questions around how to maintain our livelihoods moving forward.
When Momentum member and pandemic expert Dr. Michael J. Consuelos reached
out to offer himself as a resource to the JBE team and the MoMo community,
I jumped at the chance to record a conversation for all of you as well.
In this episode, we discuss how entrepreneurs, leaders and organizations
can transition from fear and anxiety toward calm, measured action and
experiments. How can we know what actions to take? We can’t. These times
require responsiveness, vulnerability, transparency, releasing
perfectionism, and a willingness to be far more innovative and creative
than we have in the past.
Michael and I talk about how to shift from victim to hero, how to quiet
internal concerns, and small daily actions to focus on—as well as what
organizations and entrepreneurs can we learn from each other during “Black
Swan” events like these.
This is a wide-ranging, imperfect, in-the-moment response so we could at
least start the conversation around how to maintain business continuity
while Pivoting around a pandemic, primarily for people in information-based
roles and industries — and both of us are open to an ongoing series on this
topic if/as you find it helpful! Feel free to submit follow-up questions
