EP159: How To Thrive Through COVID-19

Apr 13, 2020

We are definitely in unprecedented times. Uncertain times.

With all the turmoil and unknowns circulating throughout the world, the one thing I know is this -- if you have an online business and show up for your community, your business will be fine. 

For this week’s episode of The Business of Becoming, I am sharing a Town Hall Panel I hosted in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. I brought together a special panel of CEO entrepreneurs to share how they are managing their businesses and navigating through the uncertainty. 

Join me as we share our personal feelings about the situation along with practical strategies that you should be thinking about during this time. You will see examples of what leadership looks like and how you can fully embody your role as a leader - and feel all the feels - just as my guests do.

If there were a time to step up and be the CEO I know you are, now is the time!
