Foster Empathy and Resilience Post-COVID

Categories
Description
If the past year has taught us anything, it’s the value of resilience, both individually and collectively. That’s what allows us to navigate disruption and not just survive times of change and uncertainty, but grow, get better and thrive. But organizations and teams are only as resilient as their people. And as Arianna Huffington knows, empathy is essential to resilience. At the team level, empathy is the foundation of innovation, creativity and meaningful collaboration. But empathy and resilience disappear when we’re depleted, or operating in perpetual fight-or-flight mode. Instead, we need to always be able to find the calm in the eye of the hurricane, and act from that place of inner strength. Having a mindset of abundance and optimism is also key — that's where resilience begins. Use this flight to unpack the lessons and challenges of 2020, and build a better and more resilient normal for your team.
